Hi -
Please, if anyone has any clues or suggestions as to what could possibly be
borking mail services on this machine, I'd really like to hear from you.
Things hummed along merrily under CommuniGate Pro for months, but I wasn't
able to secure funding to continue using it and finally went through the
process of migrating over all of the accounts and lists to Panther's native
mail services (yes, all of the CommuniGate startup scripts etc have been
removed and no, there are no CommuniGate threads currently running).
So far I haven't been able to keep Panther mail services running for more
than 12 hours. Came in today and found 97% of CPU in use, a ton of pop3
threads hanging around, POP requests not responding... And we're talking
less than 20 accounts and a few seldom-used lists. There's got to be
something weird going on here, but I don't know where to begin looking.
Thanks for any suggestions,
Scot
