I will set it to MAXATONCE 0
And you were right I had F-Prot.exe instead of fpcdm.exe.
I hope that is the problem. I just changed configurations.. let's see how it
goes.. I will let you know. Many thanks.

Correct.

It is unlikely to make much of a difference, because [1] SMTP hangs should
not be related to the resources used by the virus scanner, and [2] it is
unlikely that you will have 8-10 virus scanners processes running at the
same time.
The MAXATONCE option was originally designed for people who have licensing
arrangements where they can only have a certain number of copies of the
virus scanner running simultaneously.

Yes.

For some reason, some servers have a horrible time handling too many 16-bit
processes, and end up causing serious delays in TCP/IP connections like you
describe.
Are you using a 16-bit virus scanner (such as F-Prot.exe) with Declude
Virus? If so, I would recommend switching to a 32-bit scanner (such as
F-Prot's fpcmd.exe), which will likely help alleviate the problem.
