Along this line.

Is the Mail server and Witango Server on the same computer?

If it's possible - or on your to do list anyway - upgrade to 5.5. I don't
suspect that this will solve the problem, although it could, but I think it
should help the server error/crash/exception more gracefully, and should
give you some reporting.

Ben is right that the TAGS over power the ACTION, but the action, in my
experience, is still very good. My servers create around 3 million emails
each month using the action (from hundreds of TAF files) and I've never seen
the crash you are describing. I do, however, have a nearly dedicated
connection between the Witango servers and the email server (running iMail
8.2), and support many threads on the server.

You can wrap the email tag into a TCF to make them a little easier to use.
I'm sure someone on the list can get you started with that. It's something
I've been meaning to do.

As for the internals, the email action can not be changed by WT without
changing the TAF format, which will happen in the future. If you want the
email action to have additional features - email WT. I do believe the
underpinnings were updated slightly in 5.0 and again in 5.5, mostly to do
with connection management. I can't sight any specific improvements that I
recall, however.

PS. If there's just one action causing the problem, try deleting and
remaking it, or moving to a TAF/TCF of its own and branching/calling it to
separate out the logic. Sometimes this will fix something strange in a TAF,
or perhaps help you isolate the problem better.

Subject: Witango-Talk: Mail Action Locks Up Server

We've been having a recurring problem with Mail Actions locking up the
Witango Server.  We've had a lockup once a week for the last couple weeks.
WiTango probably sends out 50 to 100 emails per day and they generally work
fine.  The one causing the lockup seems normal - the from address is valid
and the body is the same as the emails that work.  The mail server is online
and responding fine and it doesn't record any log events when this happens.

Any ideas where to look to troubleshoot this?

W2K SP4, WiTango  5.0.1.065
