Re: [IMail Forum] smtp service

[John Dobbin]

The remaining processes won't shut down until the messages they are handling are complete or aborted.  Your server timeout setting will determine how long they will live if it is an inactive connection being held open by a server or client.     ----- Original Message ----- From: Adam (Snowboard) To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 27, 2002 1:08 PM Subject: [IMail Forum] smtp service I was wondering why when you shut down the smtp service, not all of the smtp processes created by the service stop too. Shouldn't they be shut down by the service when it stops? Is there a certain amount of time before they will stop, or will they run indefinitely?
