Hello. I am new to the forum, but I would just about lay money on it being hardware. It seems to happen a bit too randomly for me to suspect software.
If it were me, I would swap out the RAM in the server. Its quick, cheap, and easy, and I have seen many instances where a bad stick of ram can cause no end of headaches. I hate to just make guesses with something as critical as a server, but if you can't pull it offline and replace it with another to diagnose the problem, I'll always start with the easiest and most likely. Good luck, Don -----Original Message----- From: John Tolmachoff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 30, 2003 1:36 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Mysterious Imail Server Lockup Nothing in the event log leads me to think about the power supply.
