Thanks for the response, The status.pl file is present, and is being written to, I see a current file, plus an hour old file "status.pl.old" Do you have any other suggestions where to look?
I realized I mis-spoke in my original email, we didn't have to fully restore the array, it was just a simple rebuild. One of the disks crashed, and was replaced, and the array was rebuilt. The box did crash one due to a problem with the rebuild, but everything else on the box is running fine now, but the email problem did seem to start after the RAID was rebuilt.
