Uh - very, very strange. I did: cat /var/log/syslog |grep dbmail |grep pool.c > /tmp/dbmail.log The first lines are: Aug 18 15:41:04 geht-schon dbmail/pop3d[16031]: pool.c,manage_stop_children: General stop requested. Killing children.. Aug 18 15:41:04 geht-schon dbmail/pop3d[16033]: pool.c,child_unregister: child [16033] unregistered Aug 18 15:41:04 geht-schon dbmail/pop3d[16036]: pool.c,child_unregister: child [16036] unregistered Aug 18 15:41:06 geht-schon dbmail/lmtpd[16047]: pool.c,manage_stop_children: General stop requested.

The syslog starts at 6:30 - 9 hours without any pool.c loglines! I hope that helps a bit. Thomas
