Marius, We've been able to duplicate the error using the orphaned files in 8.14, but not in 8.15. Are you still seeing the issue in 8.15?

Sorry, both the sender and recipient addresses are valid... So much for jumping at conclusions. It is a known problem of the SMTP service, crashing on certain unknown conditions. - Quote from Ipswitch support case [T2004121004L6] --------- ERR 005 - Send message thread exception handled Step = 54555659 We have a defect for this that testing and development are working on.

An orphaned file occurs when IMail cannot deliver an E-mail, and it cannot deliver the bounce either. For example, if I send an E-mail from "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", how do you expect me to get a bounce message? It can't happen, the way that SMTP works. In fact, no mailserver can deliver such an E-mail. >Who else has this problem? > >Today, I updated from 8.14HF1 to 8.15. I think it is definitely time to >think over my loyality with this product... There is no problem. It is just how SMTP works. If you still aren't convinced, write a letter (not E-mail) with a fake address and fake return address, and see if the post office delivers it to you. -Scott --- [snip] To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/ To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
