It's definately a bug in IMAIL, why else would start and stopping the smtp
service clear up the issue ... it has been around for a long time, but with
6.03 the problem is so amplified that it is now a serious issue. We are
running about 1100 domains with 3000 users. Ipswitch posts workarounds, but
not solutions. Inotherwords, why should we open our servers to spamming by
disabling SMTP AUTH just to solve a bug?
PLEASE, PLEASE, we are beggin you to help us out. If nothing else, tell us
how to roll back to 5.08 so we can keep our clients.
Thanks,
Kelly Britt
