Wayne, do you have Imonitor set to Auto-restart the SMTP
service? This was an issue for a newly-wed on the list recently.
What is probably happening is that the service is busy and does
not respond to the Imaonitor check so a restart is sent. This in
turn crashes the service temporarily.
What is actually happening more than likely is s user is sending
a large file attachment. I experienced this one day and opened
the spool folder in Windows Explorer. Sat there and watched
as the incoming file grew in size. Turns out it was a user e-mailing
a copy of ICQ. How stupid can you get?
However this is my suggestion on this one.
Dusty
