Could the problem cause by putting too many IP addresses on the Network Card?
somebody this week said 1500 ip aliases gave him a problem. ( I love the way you people trust MS with huge numbers like this. "MS says we can do it, therefore it's A Good Idea" )
I've allocated Ip addresses for individual domain that I'm hosting. At the moment there are close to 300 or more Ips on the Imail Server.
I think up to 1000 is ok.
By the way what is the maximum amount of spool email can Imail handle before it hang?
It's not Imail, it's the NTFS (or are you running DOS or FAT32?). Any OS trying to find a file in a single directory of 10k files is gonna be slow. Combine that with horrible fragmentation of 100,000's of allocate/create/write/delete/deallocate operations and the filesystem performance goes south in a hurry. Does partition is a nightmare level of fragmentation make difference? Someone said they thought their SMTP AUTH problems were worse when the system was really busy, and really busy for a mail server means disk i/o. If the filesystem is a nightmare, then there will horrible thrashing of the disk, delays, etc, etc.
I bet you have a screwey netmask that allows a Class B Too Far or maybe a corrupted file where the nets/netmasks are stored.
