* This is the modus mailing list * I believe if this is checked, it will wait for a specified timeout before dropping the connection, unless the user drops gracefully (issues a quit at the end of the transaction.) I usually turned this off because I think I saw the same thing on my end.

Smith Sent: Tuesday, January 27, 2004 9:33 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Modus] SMTPds not closing connections Importance: High Modusgate v3, build 282 on Windows Server 2003 This morning I had thousands of connections in CLOSE_WAIT state and no more TCP sockets could be opened (I actually had to walk into the server room to get into the server). Restarting SMTPds got rid of them all. This happened a couple of days ago too -- I didn't take time to figure it out then, I just rebooted. Is this the situation System -> Settings -> Advanced -> Close SMTP Socket Gracefully is designed to address? It's currently checked, should it be unchecked? Is there anything else that can be affecting these sockets? Thanks, Michael ** To unsubscribe, send an Email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "UNSUBSCRIBE" in the body or subject line.
