when getting an incomming request in smtp from a blacklisted (dnsbl) client, the whole process crashes...

Synchronet Mail Server 1.576 SMBLIB 2.51 Compiled Aug 14 2015 22:34:48 with MSC 1800

It finally crashed while I happened to be watching... The MS######.log
doesn't show the activity in question... I've now checked all the options for logging, hopefully can have more info.

Without more information, there's really very little I can do based on this report.

this report.

I enabled the nt services, and set them all to restart on crash... not sure what else to do...

Hmm... could it be Windows Defender (Windows 10 A/V) that trapped a virus writing out to disk, which caused the whole thing to burn? Not sure what safeguards are in place for sbbs when buffering a message to disk. Does it
go to a temp file first?


Just speculation... the only indicator I saw on screen was that it seemed to happen right after an RBL host connects... so thinking it may be related.

Usually there will be a crash log with the address that triggered the exception.

Yes, all SMTP-received messages are written to a temp file before being processed and ultimately written to a message base.

If you get an address of the exception or have steps how to reproduce it, let me know.

May switch it back from svcs to sbbsctrl when I get back from vacation. Will send you whatever additional
info I can collect.
