If one of them is forwarding mail to the other, it is possible that the same message caused both engines to fail. I would bump up the diagnostics logging on IMS on both boxes and see if anything gets caught in the event logs.

Both are Exchange 5.5 SP4, on NT 4.0 boxes running SP6a. One server is running Nemex, and the other is an internal IMC so it has no virus scanning capability. The lock ups happen at different times and seem to effect only the Internet Mail Connector. When we try to shut down the service, NT pops up a message saying that the service can't be controlled in it's present state; however, the box will shut down normally and reboot. Any advice will be appreciated.
