I've been getting the error message below for the past two weeks. I get it for both smtp32.exe and imail1.exe
Application popup: smtp32.exe - Application Error : The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000142). Click on OK to terminate the application. I did a search on ipswith's kb and I found the following: Microsoft resource (which will cause "0xC0000142" pop-ups for each E-mail that is received afterwards, until the server crashes). For further details, see: http://www.declude.com/dq.htm under the heading, Flaw #1 - Server crashing: Microsoft's Mystery Heap. I changed the number of delivery threads from 60 to 30 yesterday but I had the same problem this morning. Before making this change the cpu utilization was about 100% most of the time. After the change it decreased to 60%-70%. I noticed that this started happening when I installed message sniffer so today I disabled message sniffer and now the cpu utilization stays below 50% but a few times the queue manager makes it spike to 90%. Is there a way to use message sniffer without having this problem? This E-Mail came from the Message Sniffer mailing list.
