I have the same problem. Are you running SIMS in Classic under X by any chance? This problem started for me when I upgraded the machine to X. I think I have OS 9.2.1 and OS X 10.1.4. I'm pretty sure the people using the server are all on variations of Outlook/Outlook Express, etc. on Windows. For some odd reason, it seems to have gotten better in the past 2 weeks. It used to happen about once every day or two. For some reason it's down to happening about once every week or so, now. I know that one or two employees of the company recently left, so maybe their email setup was the bulk of the problem. I don't know. As for error messages, I've been finding that all MS mail clients give bizarre error messages to their users. Where the SIMS log has line after line of "Account busy", the mail clients were returning errors like "Incorrect password". I couldn't figure out why they kept calling me to reset users passwords until I noticed that the logs were saying something completely different. Very irritating to both me and my customer. I'm desperately trying to get them to switch to better mail clients, but it's not working. They keep getting viruses and having these bizarre problems where error messages don't correlate to what's going wrong.
