RE: [IMail Forum] QM stopping for some reason

Title: Message

no...when I wrote the script, the service needed restarting constantly.  it was an emergency measure that just stuck.  you do what you got to do in order to keep services up.....u know   I never checked to see if the problem goes away w/out running the script.  This customer is migrating away from the IMail so it's a moot issue.     Barry Bahrami Commercial Network Services www.CommercialNetworkServices.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jerod M.
