Hi, We use a Win32 mail server that passes mail over to a nix SA box; one thing that's been noted is that win can lock the file on occasion and cause SA to fail. It seems windows file locks have much to answer for. One possible culprit is the index server; this may or may not apply to you. Disabling said on my Win mail has eased the problem somewhat, tho not eliminated it.
