Hello, I'm new to the list, but I've been using XMail for quite some time. My current configuration is as follows:
Microsoft Windows NT 4 Workstation Service Pack 6 Pentium 90 with 64MB RAM, 1GB HD XMail v1.17 The problem I'm experiencing is that when there are large amounts of mail being sent to the server, some of the email content is being corrupted at some point in the process. The possibility of corruption seems dependent on the amount of emails being sent to the server and the size of the email content. For example, I can send 225 emails as fast as the server can receive them, each approximately 12kb in size, and I may get 1 or 2 emails who's content has been corrupted, usually towards the end of the emails and it seems the corrupt characters always match in number to the characters in the original email. I have gotten this problem isolated down to an issue of sending emails as the software I'm using to send the emails has properly formed content and if I BCC someone in each of the emails, 99% of the time, the BCC or the actual email will be corrupted, but not both. I would rather not believe this problem is XMail related, but if I send to another mail server, and BCC XMail, the BCCs are bad, but the other emails are fine. Does anyone have any ideas at all as to what the problem may be? I have tried replacing the mail server temporarily with a windows xp pro laptop running an identical XMail setup, but I get the same results. I have also tried different configurations of our LAN. The only things I've found that seem to solve the problem are throttling the sending of the emails in our software so that XMail isn't working so hard, and switching the OS on the mail server to a proper server OS. Either of these seems to fix the problem. Any help would be much appreciated.
