No, never found the problem. We've only got about 30 ip's on there right
now though too.
Initially it happened with the POP3 service on another server, it would
crash immediately on startup and it would take several restarts to get it to
run perfectly. Once it was running, the server would continue for weeks
without a problem. It was a matter of making it "stick".
Well, the problem was frustrating and we wanted to return the server because
of other issues so I installed IMail on an NP NetServer (new server) and the
problem went away for a few weeks and then it started up with the smtp
process. It's strange, I don't know.
So, it was a simple thing, I would get paged when the server restarted for
whatever reason so I just would come in and make sure that the service was
running before contining my day.
It seems to "stick" now and I'm happy with that.
