As Len noted, this is covered in the FAQs. However... The FAQs on this error are all but useless. Both the 10054 and 10053 are socket-related errors. None of the suggestions there seem to be of any help.
We are running a pristine IMail install on a Win2000 Server box. It has dual P-III 600 processors and 1GB of RAM. Since upgrading to 7 (currently 7.0.4HF1) we have seen tens of thousands of lines of log errors with the 'send error' message and a reference to one or the aforementioned codes. I am logging SMTP to the sysMMDD.txt logs and POP3 (via the logging daemon) to the logMMDD.txt logs. At this point, fully two-thirds of our POP3 logs are send error lines. I noted one case where there were more than 1600 consecutive send errors in a span of less than 20 seconds. That's a rate of one about ever 12ms. Our initial report to IMail was met with a stock suggestion to install the hotfix (which we had not yet done, waiting to see if it burned anyone). After installing the hotfix we are still seeing the problem. If I am understanding the log files correctly, this problem develops when the POP3 daemon has trouble delivering a message to a POP3 client. While it seems to occur more frequently with dialups, we have also seen it on occasion with broadband users (both cable and DSL) and with users who are not directly connected to us (i.e., our customers connecting from their office or other remote locations via the 'Net). I am refiling the report with Ipswitch today. Should I receive any useful information I will follow up here. --- Ed Perrine / Network Tallahassee -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Craig Isdahl Sent: Wednesday, October 17, 2001 11:19 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [IMail Forum] send error - 10054 Can someone help me with the following error showing in our log files <snip of log> 20011017 102926 127.0.0.1 POP3D (00000113) send error 216.187.203.254 10054 20011017 102926 127.0.0.1 POP3D (00000113) send error 216.187.203.254 10054 20011017 102927 127.0.0.1 POP3D (00000113) send error 216.187.203.254 10054 20011017 102927 127.0.0.1 POP3D (00000113) send error 216.187.203.254 10054 20011017 102927 127.0.0.1 POP3D (00000113) send error 216.187.203.254 10054 </snip of log> This is happening multiple times a day for about 10 - 15 minutes each time. When this occurs the POP3D service takes 90 - 95% of the cpu cycles. Any insight is apprecitated.
