Heeelllppp,
I'm fairly new to live mail server maintenence, but it almost seems like
a DoS.
The server is never very busy, it does about 7000 deliveries per day.
There are about 44 qmail-smtp processes running, quit a few more than
usual and a telnet to port 25 just hangs.
qmail-queue zombie processes keep showing up. (now up to five)
I've already reset the machine once. When it came back it was ok for
about 2 minutes, then the same, lots of qmail-smtp and no port 25
response.
Telnet 110 responds no problem, and the load average is 0.3 or something
way low.
What is happening and how can I fix it! - thx - eric
