1352.0. "localSMTPAddresses destructs MailWorks ?" by UTRTSC::SCHOLLAERT (Think before you shrink) Thu Feb 20 1997 06:32

    Hello,
    
    To gain performance, a customer running 2.0.2 
    set localSMTPAddresses (axp.tno.nl) in mailworksrc to 
    keep local mail within MailWorks.
    
    Within a few hours MailWorks was completely unavailable. 
    Swapspace grew up to 32.000 pages, where is used to be 6000-7000
    pages. Users where unable to connect (all TeamLinks clients).
     
    Restarting MailWorks resulted in the same problem after a short time.
    
    After removing localSMTPAddresses MailWorks behaved normal again.
    Number of users is about 100.
    
    What can cause this trouble ?
    
    Thanks,

	Hi, Problem had nothing to do with localSMTPAddresses, but was caused by an incoming sendmail message.
