I had exactly the same thing - server resources I removed my Killer Templates and now the server is rock solid
I am looking into purchasing another server to run my SQL Server on - to remove the load from the IMail machine Then I can have my KWM templates back ;) Chris Bone Web Engineer Chartway Federal Credit Union http://www.chartway.com >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 02/04/02 09:33PM >>> >We are having major problems with our Imail server.

Could it be because we have too many? I know one other Imail system ("Jeff Madison" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) with 180K users on a quad xeon / 2 gb RAM. His machine is eaten up with iwebmsg and pop3d. But he didn't say he had stopping problems. > Are others experiencing this problem with just a few users? yep, but I suspect that iwebmsg and SMTP AUTH are unstable under heavy load, from scattered reports here. >Is there a maximum number of mailboxes that imail can support?

All I can suggest is to lighten the load on the Imail machine by adding IMGate out front ( fewer SMTP and SMTPD processes, existing in memory for shorter times, absence of DNS lookups, reduction abuse and spam (maybe 20 to 40% messages rejected before they arrive at IMail) moving all outgoing queuing from Imail protection from DoS attacks such as harvesting and mail bombs ) This would leave a less busy machine, more available for iwebmsg. But I cannot guarantee it would fix the problem, but it would certainly move you in the right direction of reducing the load on the Imail machine. I guess you have all the latest MS service packs??
