I have been having some weird problems with my mail service. I am running Imail 6.05 with it pointed to the IMGate machine for outbound gateway.
Problem is the Imail queue has messages in it. Usually there is never more than 2-3, if that many. It usually never has any messages in the queue due to the IMGate machine handling final delivery. At one point there were 70-80. I have since changed Imail to deliver its own outbound mail, bypassing Imgate except for inbound. In the Imail log files I noticed several things: The log file from 11/28/01 has entries in it until 08:37 11/29/01 rather then ending at midnight. The log file for 11/29/01 has entries starting at 00:00 as it should. The Imail server only runs Imail and Bind. In the Imail logs I have noticed a large number of these errors for the SMTP process: rl-recv: Blocking call cancelled SMTP_DELIV_FAILED Searching the archives I found two things, one was that a large MTU size could cause this so I changed the MTU on the IMail server to 576. Second was that this is related to a winsock error which reseaching winsock errors indicates the program calling the winsock is at fault (IMail). Any one have any ideas. Secondly, my IMGate machine seesm to be under stress. Running top on the IMGate machine shows load avgs around 65-70% with 140 -180 processes. The IMGate machine is a P200 with 96Mb ram. It seems to very sluggish and some clients are reporting duplicate messages. Mike Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
