hello

since yesterday, sendmail on one of my virtual servers constantly, once every 
one or two hours, fails its service. Active monitor reports:

* There is a severe problem with the email system.
 - The SMTP server is not running and could not be restarted. The SMTP server 
may shut itself down temporarily under extreme load. Check the CPU load on the 
server. If the load does not appear to be the problem, go to the Server Desktop 
and try turning the SMTP server off then on again to see if this corrects the 
problem. If the SMTP server is still unable to start, try rebooting the server 
itself by clicking the Reboot Now button in the Power menu under System 
Settings. If the SMTP server is still unable to start, please 
referhttp://BlueOnyx.it/  for technical support.

After a while, the system manages to restart sendmail and everything is fine again — 
until the next failure... It's a nuisance. The e-mail load doesn't appear to be 
excessive, as far I can see there are peaks with about 35 messages an hour = 2.5 MB 
(Server Management > Usage Information > E-Mail), but this doesn't seem to be 
much, or is it?

Anybody encountering this, too? Any ideas for a remedy?

Thank you and best regards

Meaulnes Legler
