I have two servers running SPAMFilter ISP. I was running the previous free version on two servers. Server 1) Windows 2000 Server 2) Windows XP (not actually a server I know). I never had any problems on either machine. About 1 week ago I upgraded to v2.5.1.441 on both machines. They ran OK for about 3 days. Now the strangest thing is happening on the Windows XP machine. The machine is up and running fine for some time, then for no known reason (no errors) the network connection will be gone. I have an IP Address, but can't access anything off my local machine. At that point, I can not shut down the machine properly (must power off machine). If I reboot, and the SPAMFilter is still set to start as a service the machine will have no network access. I must disable SPAMFilter as a service, and power down again to restart. Then the machine will work properly (with SPAMFilter not running), if I start the SPAMFilter it may run for 20 minutes or more... then BANG the entire situation repeats itself. If I leave SPAMFilter off, the machines performs its other tasks without failure. Very strange. |

Yapadu, Is the XP machine processing a lot of incoming emails? If so please note that with the latest Service Pack for XP Microsoft has introduced what they think is antivirus protection by severely limiting the number of concurrent network connections XP can have, and will block any connecitons over a certain limit. Please see this article to see if that applies to you: http://www.speedguide.net/read_articles.php?id=1497. ------------- Roberto Franceschetti http://www.logsat.com" rel="nofollow - LogSat Software http://www.logsat.com/sfi-spam-filter.asp" rel="nofollow - Spam Filter ISP |

The machine did a little over 6 million in about 1 month. I had the connection limit set to 20 during that entire month (I realize that does not limit connection attempts in the IP stack). The strange part is if I back out to the older version it is OK. |

If downgrading the version stops the problem we would agree with you in
that not being the issue. Could you zip and email us a copy of your
SpamFilter's logfile for a day when this happened?
