While I'm waffling on this list I thought just post an update on where I'm at with this issue from a few weeks back (CF5 service on redhat constantly restarting).
I *think* I've got the problem nailed but don't have confirmation from anyone else yet. It looks like the problem was being triggered by pages running longer than the "timeout requests that take longer than X secs" setting in the CF administrator rather than anything to do with the mail files. However the fix was clearing the mail directories and restarting the service. I had my timeout setting at 120 secs & the log pages that run longer than set at 30 secs. I have a verity indexing page that was being run as a cron job at 2am. Going through the log entries that occurred between 1.59am & 2.02am I was seeing: day 1: "page myVerityIndexer.cfm ran 115 secs" day 2: "page myVerityIndexer.cfm ran 118 secs" day 3: "page myVerityIndexer.cfm ran 116 secs" day 4: "coldfusion service restarted" day 4 30 secs later: "coldfusion service restarted" day 4 30 secs later: "coldfusion service restarted" day 4 30 secs later: "coldfusion service restarted" day 5: "page myVerityIndexer.cfm ran 112 secs" Pretty much every time the server got in its restarting loop it was kicked off at just after 2am and on these days there were no "page myVerityIndexer.cfm ran 112 secs" entries. I gather from this that the page ran for longer than the limit of 120 secs and the system went into its downward spiral. On two occasions removing the mail from the mail dirs & restarting the service - on two other occasions I have NFI how but its seemed to fix itself after copious restarting, rebooting, etc... Anyway Steve from MM is still helping me out in his spare time - so hopefully I should have more concrete details sometime soon.
