Hey, I woke up this morning to find no-one could send e-mail anymore. The
log was full of these:

rejecting connections on daemon MTA: load average 12

I've checked on google and it seems I shouldn't worry too much, as this
apparently just means the system is overloaded. Most people who have had
this have re-booted and all was well.

On the experience of others I tried this and shutdown hung on SMB shutting
down.

Funnily enough somebody else's post I read on google also had the fact that
SMB had hung and caused the same system overload, with sendmail on their
system giving the same error message.

After I hard-reset the PC (Gasp!!! never had to do that!!!), and the usual
journal recovery and checks, all was indeed well.

Anybody have any idea what might cause SMB to hang like that? Somebody on
google described a 'bad mount'. What in your opinion is a Samba bad mount?

Just trying to stop this from happening again. I had a brilliant uptime
figure and I'm spewing I had to re-set the thing (service sendmail restart
did not work).
