Using imail 8.15 and declude 4.3.0
We are having problems with imail smtp service. It stops responding (even though it shows as running in the services admin), and needs to be shut down and restared several times a week
any solution/hints will be appreciated

A simple search of the archives for 8.15 smtp vulnerability will result in much information from this list.

http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]&q=8.15+smtp+vulnerability

From that you can search on other threads like:

and
Update for SMTP vulnerability in 8.22
http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL

etc.

As stated in another response, you need to upgrade to at least 8.22 and apply the patch for it, or isolate Imail from the internet with an SMTP gateway. There are commercial SMTP gateways that provide additional anti-virus and anti-spam protection, and there are free solutions. We use both! :o)

ASSP(excellent anti-spam)==>
Commercial AV gateway(TrendMicro - pretty good antivirus)==>
SMTP router & ClamAV(free hMailServer & free ClamAV = excellent anti-phishing)==> Secondary Attachment processor(company policy, no incoming zips allowed)==>
Imail 8.22
