Hello to all first, I'm new to the list.
Reading what I see passing by:

I probably will gave up the idea of upgrading to 7.0x to solve a
severe problems we have with 6.06 HF5: reaching a (admittedly high)
number of domains causes the Windows 2000/AS box to reject connections
to the web mail service randomly (connection refused). No pattern can
be identified, a same domain will sometime connect, sometime reject.
We suspected CodeRed scans hitting hard on this box being the reason,
but could not find any evidence of this. So we eventually offloaded
about 25 domains to a different server and it seems to have fixed it.
These 25 domains were precisely added during the week when the server
began developing this problem. This server used to host ~410 domains
and have ~505 (no, not over 512) IP addresses configured in three
different class C nets.
Since upgrading to 7.0x doesn't seem a good idea yet, if anyone can
shed light on this I'd be more than happy to learn. The IMail license
is "ulimited" of course. The box still has plenty of free CPU cycles
and memory. It looks to me like we've hit a limit either in IMail or
in Windows 2000.
Cheers,
