[IMail Forum] Fw: smtp service not working

[kztechinfo - cribellum]

HI,   I am currently using Imail 7.15 and declude 1.82 and it has worked well but this morning when I checked the server the SMTP service was taking in mail but not delivering it.  The queue was backed up with about 14,000 mails because it had been doing this since late last night.  I tried to stop/start the service but it would not deliver mail.  Once I restarted the server it is working and slowly moving the mail out.  I checked the application logs and saw that the smtp service has been throwing application errors into the event log since yesterday afternoon:   Message: Faulting application Smtp32.exe, version 3.3.11.7, faulting module Smtp32.exe, version 3.3.11.7, fault address 0x00006f97. It still is throwing fault error messages, a couple an hour.  I saw that it threw about 15 yesterday and once I rebooted Windows 2003 it started popping up messages about the fault errors asking if I wanted to send them to Microsoft.  I am wondering if that was causing the  smtp service to hang since the OS popups were not showing up until after I rebooted.  I have checked the logs and have not seen anything unusual, just mail coming in and it was not trying to send out.   I am running the server on a Dell with 1GB ram and dual processors.  My CPU load usually is never over 20% and my memory load is usually in the teens.  This happened about 5 months ago and once i restarted it was fine.  I did have some problems with the onboard NIC hanging up after that and I moved the email to the other nic card and all was fine for the past few months.  I did put something else on the nic card that was having problems with imail and it works fine.  The nic cards are broadcom nextreme Gigabit cards.  I know Imail has some issues with onboard Nic cards but it has been running on this server for over a year and for 8 months there were no problems.   Any help would be appreciated.   Keith Zwick Cribellum, L.L.C. 248-596-1901 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
