It's not the log. It's the creation of the buffer to hold the incoming message. When 2 sessions simultaneously try to create or remove their buffer, they try to write to the same bit of memory at the same time causing everything to blow up.
If you've got the 045/048 source and a delphi compiler, in serverwinshoesmtp.pas, find the line SessionMsg := tSMTPMsg.Create(Self); and change to SessionMsg := tSMTPMsg.Create(nil); It's more obvious under load as the chance that the conflict will happen is greater. Alan Fiebig runs over 100k msgs/day and has been running stable for a few weeks now (He's been the primary test to locate the problem in the first place - thanks Alan). I couldn't duplicate it in my small test environment with 3 machines doing 10 msgs/second each. There's one more beta tester to sort out then 0.50 gets released. klint.
