John writes "Hi,
sometimes when my apps call xp_sendmail and I believe exchange stalls the process becomes blocked and further blockes others. I have put a LOCK_TIMEOUT in the Stored proc which calls xp_sendmail but to no apparent effect. I cannot kill the process from the enterprise manager and the only thing is to reboot - not good. Surely the process should time out and give up?"
