here is what i found of problems After running 12 hours in production we had to switch back to the old server. We had at that time around 5000 mails in queue on our incoming gateways.
What i see is the following It didn't use more than around 20% of cpu and around 200 mb of ram But it was running very slow. Reciving 900 mails from the server took around 30 minutes I am sitting on a 1 mbit line and the server are on a 10 mbit Sending with mail authentication just got timeout when we tried to send through the server Trying to get mail from it was slow compared to the much smaller server its running on now Imail admin got a no responce when trying to open it after a few tries it came up and i had to wait a minute before the first domain in the list showed... after that it listed the rest in a little slower than normal speed The smtp was the real slow I saw that there where max 25 connections at the same time and the network load on the server where then 0,14 %!! cpu around 20 % -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike Barnett Sent: 2. november 2003 14:59 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Any Known Issues w/Windows 2003 and Imail 8.03? Hi... We experienced the exact same issues with W2003.... VERY SLOW iAdmin and a queue that wouldn't quit.... After many go-rounds with tech support (who are very nice but wouldn't admit Imail had a problem with W2003)...., we went to our W2K machine and....all works fine on W2K... (sort of)... The only problem we experience is outbound SMTP seems to take priority over inbound SMTP and as a result we will have times we cannot telnet to port 25... We are moving our SMTP-Auth customers to another server to reduce the amount of outbound eMail, and we have increased the amount of listen pipes in the Queue service... Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Well after 12 hours on w2003 we had had enough there where around 5000 mails in the queue on our incoming gateways s� we have switched back to our old server and on 10 minutes we have reduced the queue with 500 mails I will take this with Ipswitch tomorrow and post the result here -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of ISPhuset Nordic AS Sent: 2. november 2003 10:29 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Any Known Issues w/Windows 2003 and Imail 8.03? Dont run 8.03 but 7.13 and that have caused some problems We are running this on a 4 way Intel Xeon 1.4 ghx MP with 4 gb ram and256 mb on the raid controller. We have around 5000 domain on the server and around 60k of users. First it was an issue with the registry Ipswicth fixed this with a workaround, but after going live with it last night I must say that I'm disapointed how slow its running. It's only using around 15 % of cpu power but still i get read timeout in the logs on the gateway like this 36E9233AEC 1859 Sun Nov 2 07:52:06 [EMAIL PROTECTED] (connect to 213.236.237.140[213.236.237.140]: read timeout) [EMAIL PROTECTED] and i have a lot of mail in the queue from the stop when I changed the server even now after 6 hours. And receiving mail form the server is a pain in the but sitting on a 1 mbit line it takes 15 minutes to get 900 mail the server is on a 10 mbit. Neotwork load on the server are right now 0,12 %, It just looks like its standig there doing nothing. We upgraded form a dual xeon 2,8 with 1 gb ram on w2k and there it was using a lot of cpu therefore we wanted to upgrade but right now it looks like we have gone from bad to hell. So if anyone have any good suggestions on how to boost more power in this I would be thankfull.
