These checks are always the ones in the waiting threads normally 20 threads waiting after the run has gone through, I have timeout set at 600. Could this happen if an event gets written while the check is taking place? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Servers Alive Discussion List [mailto:sal...@woodstone.nu] On Behalf Of Mark Perry Sent: 03 December 2009 16:21 To: Servers Alive Discussion List Subject: RE: [TP-SPAM] - RE: [SA-list] ERR: didn't stop within the given timeout - Email has different SMTP TO: and MIME TO: fields in the email addresses All eventlog checks on All servers?
