This morning my server quit sending mail and my
tech said the Dr. Watson error on the server was my Sniffer file...I rebooted
and thought it was OK but quit again..I had a lot of mail back logged...so I
updated a new rule base but it did not seem to helpI reinstalled Imail and
things
We had this same thing happen.
It has been happening more frequently
recently and we are looking into disabling sniffer as
it seems to be the culprit each time.

This problem with Dr.Watson errors has been covered before on Declude's support list as well as ours. It's actually not SNF itselft that's causing the problem, but rather an undocumented heap in Windows that can run out of space and cause the next item to load to fail with a Dr. Watson error.
Arecorrupted rulebase files the
culprit? How do you update... and do you run snf2check on the
updates?
Just wondering if the rulebase file is
theproblem, if the problemoccurs during the update, or if you are
running into obscure errors with the EXE itself

We have not run snf2check on the updates. And
it may be a coincidence or bad timing that sniffer
appears to be the culprit. But we have stopped sniffer
(commented out in the declude global.cfg)
for an observed period of time and the mail never stops (and had never stopped
before sniffer)
It is _VERY_ important to validate rulebase files with the snf2check utility. The snf2check utility tests the rulebase files in ways that the SNF scanning utility does not (for the sake of speed). If you don't check your downloads with the snf2check utility you run the risk of pressing a
John,
The mystery heap issue is a memory issue with Windows where it only
reserves so much memory for running things like Declude, Sniffer, other
external tests and your virus scanners. If you have something that is
hanging, running slowly, or taking too long, it can gobble up all of

Matt,
Thank you for your help and thorough
explanation. I added the declude.cfg with the PROCESSES
20
We are running declude
2.06 and have the JM pro and AV standard.
We will look into getting the persistent
mode setup and see if that helps as well.
Thanks, again.
John
i thought declude.cfg is for V 3.x
Am I wrong ?is declude.cfg used with V 2.x
?
