This issue still exists in sambar 6. For the 5th or 6th day in row I have had to leave the office to restart sambar because server threads are at 299, and network connections the same. At this point this bug is costing me money in lost time.
While increasing the MTAs is a nice suggestion, it is NOT a solution. My MTA settings are at 15. At this point, I need to know if Tod is addressing this issues, if so, what is the timeframe for a real solution. And if not, can I get a refund for the $100 I paid for software that works WORSE than the previous versions. This is unacceptable for production grade server software. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "sambar List Member" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, February 11, 2004 12:12 PM Subject: [sambar] Mail server woes > Paul > The default was 1 just like many of the other defaults you must change > them to use the server in real life. > > When you run sambar as a service yes use the watcher and also use the > service manager just in case.
