Had the same issues with the same server.  I disabled the cards and put in a
3com 3c905c-tx and works fine now.

Subject: [IMail Forum] Imail crashes


Hi all:

You know how when imail gets too busy it crashes, and you have to reboot
the machine?
Well, I have several Imail servers, but one in particular is really
busy, and crashes about twice a day, so I thought I would migrate to a
new server.

I have a new Dell 1750, with dual 2.4G Zeon cpu's (Broadcom NetXtreme
Gigabit adapters).  Got it up and running this morning at 7:30AM, EST.
After migration the machine stops talking on the network after 23-26
minutes.  The ONLY evidence I can find is send error 10054 in the smtp
logs.  I've had to reboot it every half hour since then.  Just now, I
finally resorted back to the old machine.  So, I took a couple thousand
upset customers, and now have made them furious.

Some things I have done to troubleshoot:

http://support.ipswitch.com/kb/IM-20030110-DM01.htm
http://support.ipswitch.com/kb/IM-20030828-DM01.htm
Turned off power management
Turned off checksum on nic
Imail monitor service not running
Tried three different switches

On the list, I see tons of people talking about different network cards.
If someone could tell me one that would work, I guess I would try it,
but doesn't it seem kind of silly to buy a new server, and then have to
go out and get a different nic for it?

Just for giggles I called Ipswitch support, and Michael sent me a canned
response email with the registry setting change, and blamed it on my
network.  The same network that I have a dozen other Imail servers
running on, including a few of them on the same switch.

There has been so much talk about this on the list, I guess I'm beating
a dead horse.  Isn't it time Ipswitch get involved and give us a
solution?

Thanks
Tom
