I was wondering if keeping every email that has ever been sent on a system that is 4 years old with thousands of emails every day would decrease email performance? Teresa In a message dated 9/7/2012 07:22:29 P.M. Central Daylight Time, hbr4...@gmail.com writes:
I have seen this on many versions. Enable email logging and look for a couple of items. 1. Does the mail box your picking up from have a large number of emails to be picked up? 2. Is the engine hanging on a type of email, maybe with large attachments? 3. How much memory do you have on the server, how much is allocated for the java process that the engine is using? 4. Before you kill the engine, are you looking at the memory that it's using? In the past I have seen three main reasons for the hanging of the engine: Memory, bad email message (that could not be processed, like an encrypted message), to many messages to be picked up (if you are using inbound emails).. Remember logging will help. Good luck and take care of you kidneys, Howard Sent from one of Howard's iPads On Sep 7, 2012, at 5:25 PM, Randeep Atwal <ratwals...@gmail.com> wrote: > Running a query (monitoring tools usually have a db row count monitor) of the oldest unsent message greater than x minutes ago is a way to understand if it's hung and automate a restart. > > Sent from my BlackBerry device on the Rogers Wireless Network > > -----Original Message----- > From: "Boyd, Rebecca" <boy...@wfu.edu> > Sender: "Action Request System discussion list(ARSList)" <arslist@ARSLIST.ORG> > Date: Fri, 7 Sep 2012 16:48:37 > To: <arslist@ARSLIST.ORG> > Reply-To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG > Subject: Re: Email Engine Hanging > > We run a PowerShell script which looks for "error" in the stderr.out log. > > > On Fri, Sep 7, 2012 at 2:23 PM, Karthik <karthik...@gmail.com> wrote: >> ** >> >> Did you check if performance of remedy was good when the email engine was >> hung? Sometimes when the performance is not stable it tends to hang.
