I too have a serious issue with Declude remaining stable on my system. I've
tried each of the 2.0.6.x betas as they came out, but the problem hasn't
gone away. I did have the mentioned SMTPd memory/crash issue when I
originally went to 8.2, but with HF2 installed, that as gone away. My server
runs an average of 70 mail/min with a peak of about 200.
My question is: what version of declude should I rollback to? I'll gladly
give up features as long as I have the stability, when declude crashes (and
puts up a dialog, which I have to clear) no mail is delivered.
Thanks for any help,
Robert

Bill,
does that mean days, weeks, months?
I dont know if you are aware but we reported this many many months ago,
before 2.0.6 was released.
We have a real problem with customers trying to explain that we cannot
guarantee mail delivery because of Declude. So customers will rightfully ask
for a timeframe and we wont install new installs until we know this is
fixed. But a timeframe is required since it has taken so long to acknowledge
and address.

Hi Darin,
We expect to be testing in a few high volume production environments in the
very near future. If all goes well we will offer a general beta shortly
after that. We intend to perform a thorough QA cycle and will not release
until we are satisfied this version meets or exceeds expectations.
Thanks,
Bill Billman

Thanks Sal.
I agree. Orphaned emails are unacceptable and the issue is indeed being
addressed.
Quality, stability, and performance are the goals for this release and that
is what we will deliver. We spent a fair amount of time analyzing the
issues and designing our solutions. I believe it was time well spent and I
thank all our customers for their patients. So far we are very pleased with
the results from our tests.

Also I hope the issue of orphaned emails is being addressed with Declude and
SM.
This is a real pain, we had to go to back to Declude 2.0.5.76 because 2.0.6
release would break up the hdr and eml files (so you would get orphaned hdr
in the /proc and .eml in the spool). 2.0.5.76 doesnt check for emails
forgotten by declude so we check the /proc directory with a script.
Obviosuly this is not the best way to run a mail server.
I believe we worked with Ralph on this issue for several months, but no
solution yet.

Thanks Mike.
We are making great progress. We've managed to address the issues and make
Declude far more efficient. Internal testing is beginning. I believe that
you will be pleased with the performance and resource utilization of this
version. Too early for me to make specific claims but I'm very optimistic
from a stability and performance perspective.

Any new news on this issue?
Basically, version 2.X is useless to me.
If there is any way I can assist by sending debug info, lmk.

You're spot on Mike. In cases like this it comes down to finding the
circumstances that trigger the problem and then simulating those conditions.
It is difficult but at the very least a potential problem is identified and
removed. If all goes well analysis of the fix and conditions will give a
high degree of confidence that the target problem is the one that has been
fixed. That confidence will grow as testing without failure continues
through beta.

This one must be a bugger - we changed nothing in our configuration and
the SMTPd memory problem has not reoccurred since May 29. So how is it
possible to test unless it can be reproduced?

Hi Folks,
Declude development is still in the process of investigating issues
surrounding resource utilization and we will report back in two weeks or
sooner if possible.
