Whoa! First post in like 4.5 months Scott. Did you have a good vacation? Are you back to working on Declude? If so, when do you think there's going to be a new release that will fix the overflow issue related to: [Application popup: Declude.exe - Application Error : The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000142). Click on OK to terminate the application]
In June, I was told there would be a fix in two weeks, but that was six weeks ago. --Mike -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of R.

The two most likely culprits are either CPU usage or processing time per message. Typically, when using anti-virus, it is recommended to have at least 1GHz of CPU power for every 100,000 E-mails/day that a server handles. So in this case, you have just a bit more than the minimum recommended amount of CPU. The first thing to do is check your CPU usage when you have Declude running; if it is at 100%, you've found the main issue. If that is the case, following the suggestion of switching to F-Prot would be a good option, and checking to see if you are using CPU-intensive Declude JunkMail filters would be a good idea. The second is that at 250,000 E-mails/day, you are close (in the same order of magnitude, at least) to the maximum amount of E-mail that an IMail server can comfortably handle. At that volume, each E-mail normally has about 10 seconds to be scanned and delivered. Exceed that, and E-mail will get backed up until the rate goes back under that ~10 second threshold. If you never go below that threshold, you will never be able to deliver all your E-mail (it's kind of like eating more calories than you burn every day -- you'll keep gaining weight forever until you burn more calories or eat less calories). If the issue is processing time, one option is to either add another IMail server to help balance the load, or have one or more gateways (IMail, IMGate, or something else) process the E-mail first. Another option is to reduce the amount of time spent processing each E-mail -- unless there is a configuration issue, Declude Virus should take <1 second to scan each E-mail, so tuning the Declude JunkMail settings would be good here (weeding out any spam databases or other lookups that are no longer responding, or slow to respond). -Scott --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
