I have been had a problem for the last several months where the mail server would stop sending or recieving mail about every three days. I thought that the SMTP service was crashing so I contacted Ipswitch and they told me that I should be running Windows 2000 server instead of Professional so I decided that I would just reboot every two days. If I reboot every two days everything works great. Until this morning when I suspected that it was Declude that was crashing and not Imail. I am not possitive about this but to the best of my knowledge I think that Declude is failing every 3 to 4 days. Upon failure I restart the SMTP service and there is still no processing of mail. All other services are functioning fine and I am pleased to say that the Web Mail is a solid performer now. HELP!!!!It isn't likely that Declude is the problem here, due to the way that IMail starts a new Declude.exe process for each E-mail (which makes it very unlikely that any resources could be leaking, for example).
Are you using F-Prot as your virus scanner? If so, and you are using the F-Prot.exe file with Declude Virus, I would suggest switching to the fpcmd.exe file (the new 32-bit command line scanner that comes with the Windows version of F-Prot). There are some servers that seem to have some serious problems when lots of 16-bit programs are running, and it's possible that the symptoms you describe could be a result of this (one of the typical problems with the servers that choke on too many 16-bit processes is slow SMTP connections).
