We never had this problem until we implemented the external dll
authentication abilities of NTMail. The system has been running for a very
long time without ANY problems.
It appears that POST doesn't crash (no Watson's, no Event log entries
etc...) it just appears to stop delivering mail until a 'mail -k' is
issued. During times of failing to send mail, the service is still running
and can easily be stopped via the GUI or command line and restarted when it
returns to a normal state (for a short while).
Rather that doing a "net start/stop post", a simple mail -k does the trick.
Both BRian and Dale are fully aware of this situation.

Jeff
I have been using an AT command to kick the post server every 10 minutes.
Its not a fix, but I seem to have some problems getting help on this issue.
Are you sure its stopping or is it running and just not functioning.
I think you'll find now if your remove the dll your post server still
doesn't function. I have tried running other versions of ntmail with no
luck.
mail -k seems to make outbound mail go.
Brian or Dale, if your reading this, I'm now not the only one having this
problem.

We're running 3.02M and just installed Dale Reeds emer_ntm.dll (working
fine).
I can't see how it could effect the post service but this is new territory.
We never experienced this problem until we implemented the emer_ntm.dll but
I hate to jump to conclusions since this is a known problem.
Exactly how are the messages marked for retry?
Thanks to all...
