I did not work on that problem, but I seem to remember that it had to do with a bug that the procmail processes were not finishing and just hanging around. I don't remember what was done to fix it and the guy who worked on it isn't here right now. But, you might search for something about procmail processes not finishing/terminating properly. ////jerry > > -- > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
