dbRemote when run as a service under Win32 is often dependant on external
resources for example a mail server, network directory, FTP site, etc...
Although it is possible to create local service dependancies such as with
the db server its running against it is not possible to create dependancies
agains remote resources. My experience shows that dbRemote does not always
handle this properly, for example the service will hang if the remote
SMTP/POP3 server becomes unavailble.

It would be nice if dbRemote would recover nicely when a remote resource
becomes unavailble.

Thanks

Jim

That is a technical support issue.
DBRemote has logic built in to retry attempts against the SMTP server,
if you are seeing other behaviour this could be specific to either:
1. The SMTP server you are using
2. Some of the options configurable through dbremote

The retry mechanism I was referring to is not related to the connection
to the SMTP server, but to how many times it will retry deleting
messages.

Sorry for the confusion, this is a good feature to request.
