> I'm running Imail on a NT 3.51 SP5 system. About every month it seems
to

or

> This machine went through a nasty brownout at one time (while we were
first

have

and

the

> About every month, for some reason the SMTP and POP3 server log an error
in
> the Event viewer saying that they have terminated. They both immediately
> restart, but the SMTP server doesn't work. If I try to send any mail, I
get
> a response saying that 'the domain is not a gateway' or something like
that.
> If I get Imail up and running and wait for close to a month and reboot
the
> system, I usually find myself in the same position (SMTP server loads and
is
> running, but won't work).
> The only way to fix the problem is to uninstall Imail and then reinstall
> (overwriting doesn't work).
> I'm wondering if data for the SMTP server is eventually getting
corrupted
> or overwritten??? No other services or anything seems to have a problem.
> Anybody experience similar?
> I hate having this server go down, so soon I will buy another controller
> card and disk and hope that solves the problem.
