Yes and No-

We're still seeing the SMTP service go up and down.  We've implemented a
temporary workaround via the iMail Monitor service, which automatically
restarts the SMTP service upon failure.  The good news is that we're no
longer getting end-user complaints about not being able to send mail; the
bad news is that a look at the Event Logs shows that the service is still
dropping 5-15 times a day.

We've upped our build to v8.05 HF2 to no avail, and IPSwitch support has
unfortunately been of little help.  We're still open to suggestions from
anybody that may be experiencing the same behavior.

Side Note: This all got started as a result of applying Win2K SP4, which
permanently "broke" the iMail v6.04 user interface (IPSwitch blames MS for
this one), forcing an upgrade of what was an otherwise smooth-running Mail
Server - otherwise, we never would have touched it.  Grrrr...

Pat,

Did you get a resolution to this problem. I have been getting the same
problem of the SMTP server intermittently falling over and restarting
(about four or five times a day). The interesting thing is that this is
only happening on one of the servers I have. The only difference between
this one and the others are that this is the only one running with the
Anti spam filtering turned on.

All the our servers are currently running 8.05 HF1

Regards,

Pat Hastings

We've configured antispam according the the Ipswitch article:

http://support.ipswitch.com/kb/IM-20030513-DM01.htm

Is this setup causing the headers to be generated?

> This would not be causing your problem, but you may want to check your
anti-spam configuration.  You are sending out email with several
X-IMail-Spam headers in them.

These headers were in the mail and the list server does not perform
these
checks:
X-IMAIL-SPAM-VALHELO: (17629356)
X-IMAIL-SPAM-VALFROM: (17629356)
X-IMAIL-SPAM-VALREVDNS: (17629356)

Thanks Scott:

I just double-checked and confirmed that we are in fact running v8.05 -
2003.12.17.4.  The box is labeled 8.03, so I assumed that is what we had
installed.

My first suggestion would be to upgrade to v8.05.  There have been a
number of issues corrected between 8.03 and 8.05; this could well be one
of them.
