WUG gives me this too, but I thought it was because my Imail machine is a
weak, old dog that couldn't respond quick enough. In my case, it was a
false positive, SMTP wasn't really down, no loss of svc, just one poll
didn't come back, the next poll was ok. I think there are ways to calm WUG
down. Ask in the WUG forum.
I also have this pb with WUGging routers at the far end of 128-kbit leased
lines, when the leased line is stuffed with somebody sending a huge
attachment or file transfer with can take many minutes. I raised the
threshold of WUG to 2 misses, and the alarms just about disappeared.

If SMTP really "shuts down", does it have to be restarted or does it "fix
itself" as would happen if with a false positive that next check reported
correctly as runnning?
