The latest version of Mercury is 4.01b.  I believe you may be thinking of
Pegasus Mail versions...  Make sure your running 4.01b and if not,
upgrade.

In Mercury, click on Configuration, MercuryS SMTP Server.  Enter
C:\smtp_srv (or some other existing empty dir) in the "Session Logging"
field.  Then check off the "Enable Session Logging" box.  Remember to
uncheck this when your done troubleshooting.  Post the session logs (try
to abbreviate to just important stuff) of an aborted connection to this
list.

Is this always or just sometimes?

Huh?  are you saying it works if you restart the program or it works if
you exit completely?  Make sure you don't have another SMTP server (like
Microsoft IIS) running.

I have had stability and reliability issues with Mercury32 for many years
and have never been able to fully solve them.  The behaviour is often very
quirky and difficult to troubleshoot but I believe M32 simply can't scale
well into hundreds/thousands of users.  If your at this level, I strongly
suggest you investigate switching to a more reliable, scalable solution
like Courier-MTA and IMAP ( http://www.courier-mta.org ).  That's what
I've done and I'll never look back.
