The only way that we have detected this was with Imail and mail being stuck in the spool. "...network stack causing loss of functionality for basic network operations" is generic but if I remember correctly when this happened the admin was not even able to ping an outside server, which would suggest to me other IP communications fail as well.
David B www.declude.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Colbeck, Andrew Sent: Tuesday, May 23, 2006 6:26 PM To: Declude.JunkMail@declude.com Subject: RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Experience with 4.x Thanks, David. I've read all of the support forum emails that have been posted on the WINSOCKCLEANUP and even reviewed them again via the mail archive website before my own implementation. What I haven't been able to tell is whether I can diagnose this issue if I have it before it becomes an outage. Can it only be detected by it's side-effect of filling up the proc folder? If I have a mechanism on my IMail server that does DNS queries... Will they fail when the WinSock needs being cleaned up? I think not, as at least one posting specifically mentioned that IMail IP4R tests worked when DecludeProc IP4R tests timed out. Your official description for "WINSOCKCLEANUP ON" says "...network stack causing loss of functionality for basic network operations"; is this deliberately generic so that you don't have to explain what a DNS test is, or does it imply that other IP communications will also fail, e.g. SMTP and (critically for me) RDP?
