I am confused. The forking problem is solved, but there is another one. sendmail is much faster than lmtpd, what to do with that? When the box is down for some time, it is being flooded by e-mails once it's on and it just DIES, because sendmail is receiving mail much faster than lmtpd can handle it. Isnt anyone experiencing something like this? Nick Ustinov [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.videinfra.com
