Problem with Outbreak Protection
-
Hello,
We see the following error in our MDaemon 24.5.2 Logs (Windows Server 2019) .
MD Restart does not help.
What is the reason ? What can we do ?

Please restart MDaemon again.
The error indicates that it was not able to connect to the data center. I configured my MDaemon to point to the same data center you are using and was not able to reproduce the issue, which leads me to believe there was a temporary issue with the data center that has arleady been resolved. The outbreak protection components cash responses, including errors. To clear the cache, you have to restart MDaemon.

Arron,
The problem has been solved. The reason was an update from our GDATA protection(normaly MDAEMON is completely excluded) and the server was in state of "reboot required". After a complete Windows server restart the problem was gone.
Cheers
