Thanks for the idea, but the lockups have happened days apart. I've run the application event log up to 20 Mbytes to try and catch any more weekend events. Exchange logging is set to MEDIUM on most of the IMC objects that are involved with mail transport.

To me, defeat in anything is merely temporary, and its punishment is but an urge for me to greater effort to achieve my goal. Defeat simply tells me that something is wrong in my doing; it is a path leading to success and truth. --Bruce Lee -----Original Message----- From: Soysal, Serdar [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, May 20, 2002 2:59 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Internet Mail service lockups 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. Serdar Soysal -----Original Message----- From: John Matteson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, May 20, 2002 11:08 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Internet Mail service lockups Good morning to you all: I've recently had a rash of IMC failures on two different boxes. 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.
