[FW1] Files Stuck in SMTP queue

[tskoenig@CCMAINE.ORG]

I'm also seeing problems with incoming files, stuck in my SMTP mail
queue.
I'm using Esafe Protect Gateway for filtering of the incoming mail.

Twice within the last week, my esafe machine has been hung.

When I reboot the esafe machine I can't get mail to flow again, until
I reboot the firewall server.  Not just stop the firewall and restart,
totally reboot the server.

Is this an Esafe problem, I wouldn't be so quick to say.  I've also
had problems where mail would stop being delivered from the queue
even though the esafe machine was still running and filtering, atleast
the http stuff.

I then changed my rules to take the CVP machine out of SMTP and
I still could not get mail to flow again.

Again, the only way I could get incoming mail to go from the
firewall to my mail server was to reboot the firewall machine.

I was running Esafe Protect Gateway version 2 build 93, but have
rolled back to build 78.

>From now on, I roll forward slowly.

Seems like the problems are coming from all directions.

Stay tuned....the saga continues.
