Open a command prompt, cd to your spool directory and type: find "ERR 005" sys????.txt (replace the question marks with the current log, or a previous days log)
See if there are a lot of lines returned, complaining of an ERR 005 thread exception handled. We have been having a similar problem, although ours is intermittent and the ERR 005 logs are the indicator we use. When it starts happening we can stop and restart queue manager and the spool gets cleared and mail starts delivering for a while. We have an open issue with IPSwitch about this now but we are currently waiting a solid fix. Most recent was the 8.03 patch which didn't give us immediate results but soon after it stopped again and has been running fine for a while now. Prior to 8.03 we had to resort to running a batch file every 20 minutes to restart the queue manager process to make sure mail kept moving. Have you modified any of the values in queue manager (delivery threads, retry threads,listen pipes, etc)? I played with those once and caused the same thing but it was fixed by returning to default values. -Jack B ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rick Leske" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, October 01, 2003 3:29 PM Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] HELP! > reboot? > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Sent: Wednesday, October 01, 2003 2:03 PM - FamHost > > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Subject: [IMail Forum] HELP! > > > > > > > > Well I upgraded to 8.03 and my problem has gotten worse. > > > > I am running windows 2000 SP4 and here is what is happening. > > > > The spool folder is filling up and juet really never deliering the mail. > > If I start and stop the Queue Manager service and IMAIL SMTP server, all > > works well!..
