I have installed the latest version of the forum software and lately I have been getting this error a lot whenever I reply to a post. I am running an SQL Server 2000 database for the backend.

error '8000ffff'
Catastrophic failure

/forum/inc_mail.asp, line 79


Can someone help me with this? It is driving me nuts as the email notification that is supposed to go out does not go out as a result of this. The weird part is that the reply I post does get posted, but because the page crashes right after the post, the email does not go out and the above error appears in the browser. Please HELP!!

Make sure you have the Email Server Configuration done correctly. I'm no expert on problems involving emails, but this looks like a problem with the email component you have selected.

The email server configuration is done correctly. This forum has been working very well for a over a month and now this has started. Sometimes it crashes (actually most of the time), and sometimes it does not crash.

What else can I investigate here?

Looks like a server problem to me. What email component are you using? Have you tried using a different one?
