bad news...

I ran isplcln yesterday and the SMTP service just crashed again.  There were
four messages processing and unfortunately, I could not copy them before the
service restarted again and they were gone.  There were only 4 processing
messages - I believe they were all spam.

I'll try and stop the service manually after it crashes next time so I can
get a sample of what might be causing it to hang.  I have a feeling this is
effecting some more than others because of the different spam filtering we
all have going on.  Those with tighter spam filters are probably deleting
the suspect message before it hangs the box.  Just a guess though.

I'll try again the next time...

Zip it up & send it to Ipswich support.

If  it  really is some obscure combination of headers/text/whatever that
happens once out of a million e-mails having a reproducible test case is
invaluable.
