Stephan,
Thanks for the info. I was able to get rid of the connection pool problem.
But there was a situation that made me get into this to begin with that
unfortunately is still there after all the performance tuning stuff.
I changed my provider from cable to DSL, and I'm getting failures on send.
In the SMTP log I get SocketException: Connection Reset messages.
This is intermittent. Sometimes it sends fine. But then it will get on a
kick and fail for an hour or so, then start working again.
The worst part about it is that even though a failure is returned, the email
actually does get sent. So the email client continues to try to send it
resulting in a bunch of copies sent.
Since I'm in transition with my provider, I still have the cable modem
active. So I swapped back to cable, and it works. Back to DSL and it
fails. Now this being an intermittent problem, I realize this cable/dsl
correlation is circumstantial. But it does seem strange. I understand that
it's probably DSL per se... but it could easiliy be something assoicated
with the DSL modem/router vs. the cable modem.
Can you please explain the scenario that might cause a Connection Reset
exception to be thrown? I'm assuming that it has to occur on the final
acknowledgement of success since the message is indeed being sent.
Whether it's DSL related or not, I've GOT to figure out what is happening,
and how to get around it. It's been getting worse over the past few days.
(moving back from DSL to cable is not a good answer... There are other
unrelated problems with cable).
Please give me any advice you can think of.
