We use Intel nics with solid results. 3Com is nice too, but sometimes gives us trouble. We stay away from the rest. My 0.02 _M

Webmessaging crashed with | no load on it. | | I followed the discussion here since the last call on my service | contract call to Ipswitch was met with someone who could not | answer one question without putting me on hold and asking someone | else. | | I monitored to try and see when the web messaging was dying. | | I thought maybe a heavy load? | | Today, this morning. Minimal users on, no one with large boxes (a | suggested culprit). Memory never peaked high, cpu running fine, | web monitoring on - web messaging dead. | | Joy. | | Joy. | | Joy. | | Since Ipswitch's crack technical support team is now beyond my | want to pay - has anyone who had web messaging issues found a | solution that worked for them? To quote wargames, I would piss on | a spark plug if I thought that would help. It crashes every 2-3 | days. I tried rebooting nightly to see if that would help. | Nope. I have thought of imgate, but really the load was so light | this morning, I can't see offloading the smtp service as having a | giant impact. | | I have had it. I have lost customers, lost users, lost hair. | | I am running with the latest patches. I have a gig of ram, | running nt4 with all the patches, nothing recently. I connect in | with PCanywhere sometimes. It is registry based, the registry is | 42mb big with the abilit to grow to 90. I run diskeeper to | defrag the drives, the system drive is seperate than imail. I | have the swap on another drive. The swap is 3x my memory. The | system is normally run logged in lately so I can monitor the | system (logged into nt, not pcanywhere always) | | Am I missing anyting? I am tired, waking up to fix webmessaging is | no treat. i just wrote a script to reboot the server when it | stops repsonding, since in the past it has stopped responding | because of crashes. At this point, who knows, and I wish I could | say who cares (which then I guess I could be hired by ipswitch) | | I am so past disgusted. Good thing email is important to people... | | Sorry if this is ranting, sorry if this is rude. I am just at the | end of my rope with Ipswitch. I just can't believe they would | release patch after hacked together patch for a piece of software | that is so mission critical. I think of starting all my backend | stuff from scratch with new software and I want to cry (no it does | not directly interact with the system past adding users at a rate | of 100 a day). I don't need this. I can't wait to be tired and | crabby at my later tonight valentine's dinner. | | Thanks ipswitch. | | ________________________________________________________________ | Get your own evilemail.com address at http://www.evilemail.com | | | | | | Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html | to be removed from this list. | | An Archive of this list is available at: | http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ | --- | [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude Virus] | | | | --- | [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude Virus] | | | Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html | to be removed from this list. | | An Archive of this list is available at: | http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ | | | Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html | to be removed from this list. | | An Archive of this list is available at: | http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ | | Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
