I followed the discussion here since the last call on my service 
contract call to Ipswitch was met with someone who could not 
answer one question without putting me on hold and asking someone 
else.

I monitored to try and see when the web messaging was dying.

I thought maybe a heavy load?

Today, this morning.  Minimal users on, no one with large boxes (a 
suggested culprit).  Memory never peaked high, cpu running fine, 
web monitoring on - web messaging dead.

Joy.

Joy.

Joy.

Since Ipswitch's crack technical support team is now beyond my 
want to pay - has anyone who had web messaging issues found a 
solution that worked for them?  To quote wargames, I would piss on 
a spark plug if I thought that would help.  It crashes every 2-3 
days.  I tried rebooting nightly to see if that would help.  
Nope.  I have thought of imgate, but really the load was so light 
this morning, I can't see offloading the smtp service as having a 
giant impact.

I have had it.  I have lost customers, lost users, lost hair.  

I am running with the latest patches.  I have a gig of ram, 
running nt4 with all the patches, nothing recently.  I connect in 
with PCanywhere sometimes.  It is registry based, the registry is 
42mb big with the abilit to grow to 90.   I run diskeeper to 
defrag the drives, the system drive is seperate than imail.  I 
have the swap on another drive. The swap is 3x my memory.   The 
system is normally run logged in lately so I can monitor the 
system (logged into nt, not pcanywhere always)

Am I missing anyting? I am tired, waking up to fix webmessaging is 
no treat.  i just wrote a script to reboot the server when it 
stops repsonding, since in the past it has stopped responding 
because of crashes.  At this point, who knows, and I wish I could 
say who cares (which then I guess I could be hired by ipswitch)

I am so past disgusted.  Good thing email is important to people...

Sorry if this is ranting, sorry if this is rude. I am just at the 
end of my rope with Ipswitch.   I just can't believe they would 
release patch after hacked together patch for a piece of software 
that is so mission critical.  I think of starting all my backend 
stuff from scratch with new software and I want to cry (no it does 
not directly interact with the system past adding users at a rate 
of 100 a day).  I don't need this.  I can't wait to be tired and 
crabby at my later tonight valentine's dinner.

Thanks ipswitch.
