Hello
folks,
Just a few
notes for folks who _might_ be in the same boat.
We're running the
latest version of IMail on NT4/SP6A... P2/550, 256MB ram. about 20 domains. Box
doubles as a DNS server.
When experiencing
trouble with connectivity, IMail becomes highly unstable and begins blocking
users from sending mail. Users running Outlook, or Outlook Express. Connected
Via T1.
Fix: Once the
connectivity problem has ended, restart Client's O/OE. Bounce the server. This
will generally fix the problem, but the server will be slow for about 3 minutes
while it "catches it's breath". I believe that "catching it's breath" is
associated with getting all of the needed DLLs loaded, and quiescing the memory
allocations for all of the running programs/services.
Hope this
helps,
_M
P.S. This
instability may be in part to blame for trouble you have with dial-up customers.
We have anecdotal evidence to this effect.
