Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] Killer WebMail brings server down with ease
BTW, to see this, be sure to set your browser to do no caching and you will see that two swipes across the button bar will send the server into a ten second unresponsive state. I had several servers running 8.11 - 8.14, all doing same thing. Now that I am testing this...

Subject: [IMail Forum] Killer WebMail brings server down with ease
We have a number of clients running killer webmail and had one report that if you rolled your mouse across the button images a few time it would start showing broken images....
my first thought... get a life!
But, once I went to duplicate it I started getting nervous. I discovered that all of the customer servers running killer webmail (on and off site) have this issue. You can literally scroll across the button bars a few times and whamo, the web server is not responding for 10 seconds (event to a telnet to port 80). This same reporting customer has been complaining that they are losing messages (outbound), and now I believe them as the post is probably occurring during this time. Since it is a holiday I figured the load on the server was low, but was surprised to find that I was the only one on the webserver portion of IMAIL. Some of these servers are VERY beefy boxes (dual XEON's, 2GB RAM, RAID5 Dells, etc), and one user can crash the webserver by loading a couple of images?
What I tried already: repointing the images to a static directory. using thread pooling (and not) using keep alives (and not) whacking head on floor.
nothing works.
2 questions:
1) has anyone else seen anything like this (or has everyone seen this)?
2) has anyone been able to get any other (3rd party) webmail interfaces working with IMAIL?
Thanks! ~Vaughn
