Thank you for the suggestion but it must be so embarrassing for Ipswitch
to read it.
Customers required to run 3rd party applications to make Imail stable.

yes, install 3rd party such as assp http://www.asspsmtp.org
We had the same problem. Our queue hangs up to ten times per day.
we had a script running every 30 minutes to check if queue was running or
stop pending, killing task and starting service again.
the problem went away after installing ASSP, never more queuemgr hangs (8
months assp running).
Just try. You'll be surprised!!

You have to kill the process and restart it for it to work.
How about fixing this problem once for all.
I have a similar problem with 8.22 and a certain mail which kills
SMTPd32 -
Only the first line of the header gets stuck in the SPOOl directoy,
when the service dies. Now I use ASSP to block it on the Adres, I
found in the logs.
Use the free version of serversalive with the SMTP-Roundtrip Plugin
If it fails, start a batch to Stop all Imail-Services, kill all
hanging Services and finally restart all Services.

Not to minimize the problems others are having, but we've been running
8.22 for a year and it has been rock solid on an old Dell server with
a T1. We've always kept up with the patches and haven't had a lick of
trouble with Imail stopping or dying, in over 6 years. With only 10k
SMTP connections a day and 3k emails a day actually handled by Imail,
I would think we are also substatially smaller than most Imail sites,
so maybe that has something to do with it.
It is, more importantly, completely insolated from the internet and no
external SMTP gets to it without first going through ASSP, Trend AV
gateway, & hMailserver (ClamAV/antiphish gateway). These odd, killer
emails are apparently just not reaching our Imail.
I also use Servers Alive to monitor the services from another
computer, although I am not using the roundtrip plugin. It has been
very stable and useful, and I use it to monitor other servers and
services as well. Very configurable but can momentarily run the cpu
at 100% when trying to communicate with a service that is down.
Noticable since I run it on my desktop at work and things come to a
screaming halt for a few moments and my system fan spools up right
before I get notice that a problem exists. Probably my fault since I
am running it on a 2ghz Celeron with 512MB ram and have that much and
more in use most of the time.
Good luck,
Doug Traylor

I am not sure about the point in your email.
I did not see any suggestion on how to correct this problem or your own
personal experience.
I read your blurb about a lightweight mail server that has nothing to do
with this
Are you telling us that we need to install a 3rd party application to
make Imail run stable?
