I didn’t realize it until this morning but yesterday my the POP3 process on my server got hung up yesterday evening. I have applied the patch that supposedly fixes this problem but it still occurs occasionally. I find out about this problem when I get an email complaining about low idle time on the server. I got the email but I guess I didn’t read my email last night. Since the server is typically maxed out, this problem causes problems for other processes like backup and virus checking. This morning I found that the backup job and virus checking job were still trying to complete. I have them scheduled to run at different times so that they do not compete for the same resources. Despite the competition they both completed. Whew! What a way to start a Friday!
