Gabriel,
I cannot say that I know what your problem is (just not enough info!), but
check for free disk space (log files could eat up lots of space) and when
running disk checker, use the most through testing (at least once), to be
sure the problem is not the disk itself.
What is recorded in the event log, before the restart? If you see any
Warnings or Errors, make sure those are fixed.
Check the IMail logs to see if they show any unusual activitiy just before
the problem occurs. I don't expect you will find anything, but if you do,
then we will have something to work with.
Do you have NT Auditing enabled? I have seen one instance where this was not
configured correctly and that cause very high disk activity and a slowdown
in SMTP service, but not a 'frozen' server. Clearing that log caused the
system to return to normal.

Hi,
For a week i got a real problem with my mail server.
Each morning, the server is down and when i check to know what happened, the
screen is frozen and it looks as if there was a hight hd activity. (the hd
led is continusly green)
So, i reset the system and after a checkdisk with no error, the situation
seems to be normal.
Until the next morning ...
PIII 667, 128mo, 10go, winnt4 svp5
60 accounts, 3 domains
Events viewer:
the last shutdown of the system at 5:05:00 pm on 11/29/00 was not foreseen.
(from the french message)
Gabriel.
