Is it completely dead, or just really slow? Try opening a connection to
port 25 and wait (at least one minute...). If it's just really slow, you
have a few possible sources of problems. If it's really dead, try tracing
it with your operating system's tracing utility. Trace the program from
start to when it dies, and post a URL where we can go read the trace.
(Your OS's tracing utility may be strace, truss, ktrace, or some other
program I'm not familiar with).
