There is some specific external reason for this behavior. A few things to check:

- Is there a real time anti-virus scanner running on the server? If it shouldn't be shut down then at least exclude Mercury directories from scanning.
- Is the disk that Mercury resides on error-free, and is there sufficient disk space available?
- Is there some broken message file stuck in the queue directory?

Hello

Mercury seems to just shutdown itself and then starts back up again and will do this several times in an hour, the mail is collected by outlook and in the last couple of days poeple have found corrupted pst files. Anyone got any ideas please.

Your help is appreciated thanx
