Plus, one of a chap who has a similar problem with another application. I wonder why there was nothing on the list, though. I know all too well, that the people here care for correctness, though the start sequence seems faltering, or maybe unclear? I do also confirm, that the problem appears only on my smallest and oldest box: 1.7 GHz, 256 MB. Solution? Remove the sendmail-flags from rc.conf.local and put a 'postfix start' at the end of rc.local. That should help. Uwe
