<p style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Hi guys...<br>
<br>
We're new RT users and like it very much. However, we have a strange problem I
hope you might provide some insight to.<br>
<br>
Every once and awhile (about 1-2 times a week), RT stops sending email
communications. Completely. In fact, there is no communication even logged in
the ticket history, which is strange. I would expect it to still log the
communication but fail at sending, but that is not the case. RT just appears to
stop *wanting* to send email at all.<br>
<br>
Restarting Apache fixes it, btw.<br>
<br>
Here's my env details:<br>
Debian 4.0<br>
perl                             
v5.8.8<br>

<br>
Has anyone seen this before? How might I go about debugging this issue. It
becomes a pretty big issue when it happens late at night. ;(<br>
<br>
I appreciate any help you can provide!<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
John<br>
