First of all let me say that I've had my dev server running flawlessly since
installation. I also have clients who have dev servers running CFMX6.1
without problems. So I'm not beating up on CFMX.
But there are also lots of people who are having problems, and no one seems
to have solutions. My Sysadmin and I have looked around forums including
this one, and there are quite a few people who have the same (or perhaps
just similar) issues. After a while, CFMX just stops, and brings the
whole server to a halt.
In our case, jrun.exe grew and grew until there was no space left and it
strangled the server. We would reboot the server and everything would be
fine. 4-5 hours later, everything's stopped again.
So .. we started a program of leaving one component of the web server out of
the mix each time to see if we could find the culprit that way. I wrote
that message the other day when we had started everything except the SMTP
server and we'd had nearly 3 days without the box locking up. Now I don't
know exactly how the SMTP server related to this issue, but all I know is
when SMTP was stopped, the box kept running. (I am but one reseller of
several on this box, and the sysadmin isn't subscribed to CF-TALK which is
why I post messages here on his behalf. I'm not in a position to say
whether the problem could be caused by one of the other users' CF code, but
I know I use CFMAIL for simple things.) So we've installed a new mail
server last night, and the jury is still deliberating on whether that's
working better.
I would like if someone from Macromedia would be talking directly to the
Sysadmin so more complete and reliable information about the configuration
and logs etc can be passed.
My reason for posting anything here on CF-Talk about this was NOT to thump
Macromedia or to pour scorn on CFMX6.1, because I think it's a great
product. I'm currently working on a big project on a very large site that's
being rebuilt in CFMX. No problems there either. No, I posted because
it was obvious to me that while most CFMX6.1 installations were very robust,
there were some that were nothing but problems, and there was a real
shortage of solutions around.
Looks like that's going to change now, and that's a good thing.

Mike,
I am glad to hear that you have identified the problem.
What exactly do you mean by "stopped the SMTP server"?
How exactly does the SMTP server relate to your CFMX server?
Do you use CFMAIL in your application? Was mail going out?
Was there any errors in the mail log? Was the server hanging?
Did you specify a backup SMTP server (if running Enterprise)?
Do you have a template that can reproduce the problem?
Looking forward to more info.
