The disks are nearly empty (94% free on my data drive) but it's really
fragmented so I'm taking your advice and am defragging it.
I tried to look at PerfMon but I can't get the counters loaded. The
"performance object" is all numbers, no descriptions. 
Any idea how to change it?
We're also looking into some users who were here this morning but are gone
now. Since the problem cleared around noon, we're thinking one of these
users may have a virus on their computer.
Regards,
Roland

And disk(s)? Getting full? Run CHKDSK \F and reboot? Defrag
fully. Anything besides IMail doing a lot of disk
writing/reading? I've seen Windows Auditing (and any other
'logging' service, including IMail's) enabled and that use huge
disk space, without showing CPU/Memory demands, but very slow
system responses.

Check Disk Queue Length with PerfMon, should be 2 or less except
for transient events. If sustained operation shows much more than
2, something is making disk demands or the demands are not being
serviced fast enough.

The machine passed hardware diags with flying colors.

Maybe it's a hardware problem.
Check the disks and the cpu-coolers.

TR> Hi Gang,

TR> I'm having a bizarre problem with Imail.

TR> The server keeps hanging and I can't figure out why.

TR> I feel like it's under some sort of attack, but
TR> nothing is appearing in the
TR> Imail logs.

TR> While it's beginning to crash, I can log onto the server and
view the
task
TR> manager.

TR> It shows nothing going on. There's no runaway
TR> processes, almost no cpu or
TR> memory load and the networking interface is running at less
than 1%.

TR> I've scanned it for viruses and there's nothing there
(besides the stuff
TR> declude already caught that is).

TR> One thing I do see that bothers me is in the event viewer on
the
security
TR> tab it shows an accepted "anonymous logon" and I have no idea
where
that's
TR> coming from or why it's being allowed.

TR> We're running Imail 8.15hf2, no recent patches or updates to
Imail.

TR> Please help.

TR> Thanks,

TR> Roland
