Site keeps locking up, have to recycle the app pool to get to work again, just happened three times in an hour.

Do your YAF installation has a version?

YAF version 1.9.4 RC1 (pre compiled download)

Windows Server 2003 Web Edition SP2

SQL Server 2005 Express

IIS 6

.Net 2.0.50727 (tried 4.0 but site would not run at all)

Everything works except e-mail(using gmail server)

Last night had to recycle app pool 7 times in one hour.

Only found a couple warnings in event viewer

Event Viewer:

Source: W3SVC-WP

Event ID: 2262

ISAPI 'd:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_isapi.dll' reported itself as unhealthy for the following reason: 'Deadlock detected'.

The site seams to freeze do to email not working. Once I was able to get gmail setup using port 587 and email working then site quit freezing. Sad to see that email can cause so much trouble with site.
