This morning I did my daily check of the mail server (IMail 7.12) and found a 
half-dozen Dr. Watson
messages. They were not very informative but appeared to suggest a conflict between 
IMail and our
anti-virus software. They also said more information was written to the application 
log. I closed
all the boxes. Unfortunately I didn't find any more detail in the application log. The 
anti-virus
software didn't yield any information either. Then I started getting calls from 
managers and others
saying they weren't getting email. I couldn't find anything wrong in the IMail 
administrative
console. All services seemed to be running. The only thing out of whack was that my 
mail relay
setting in SMTP had been changed from "No mail relay" to "Relay mail for [local IP 
address for our
firewall]". I changed it back to "No mail relay" and then rebooted the server. Email 
seems to be
working again. But messages sent and received in the last 24 hours seem to have 
disappeared. I don't
know what to make of all this. Suggestions?
