Just realized this was originally posted on the Declude virus list, even though it has nothing to do with Declude Virus, and the person should have posted on the Imail list, since it is an Imail issue and a search of the Imail list archives shows this has been discussed many times.

I do not remember whether the board was a Server board or workstation board being part of the discussion on past problems.

Then take the next step and share that information with Ipswitch. From all the posts about Intel OB NICs and Imail over the years, it is my opinion there is a real problem with Imail and Intel OB NICs. To date, most have fixed the problem by using a server grade 3Com NIC and disabling the Intel OB NIC. If you have the time and resources to further pursue this issue with Ipswitch, many Imail admins will thank you. > This type of comment from you has little to no value.

Just because you do not like the work around, and would rather spend time on finding the cause of the problem in hopes that Ipswitch will finally fix it, does not mean that my advice has no value. BTW, how does my posting advice on a subject that comes up again and again over time equal my using the forum for my own end?
