i believe your "512K RAM" may be a factor :-)
seriously, i've got the same thing on a PIII 800Mhz 512Mb RAM Win2K SP1 with
fixes box, I can make this happen with only 10 users ... Imail 6.06 fresh
install ... works for a few days, then stops almost hourly.
SMTP service restart appears to fix this.
Using 6.05 on the same box I never saw the problem. It seems to be a 6.06
build issue for Win2K (AFAIK)
