Hello, I had this prob. once before (xmail was crashing alot) due to a php script (long story). Anyways you'll need to go though the same steps as if you where migrating to a new server.
Steps: 0. Stop Xmail (make sure all the pids are killed) 1. Remove all files from the spool 2. Delete everything in the dnscache/ns/ directory 3. Delete everything in the dnscache/mx/ directory 4. Delete everything in the tabindex/ directory 5. Restart xmail. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Frank" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Newsgroups: mlist.xmail Sent: Monday, March 08, 2004 8:38 PM Subject: [xmail] XMail having trouble starting > Hello all, > > I'm running XMail 1.17 on a RH 8 machine with a custom 2.4.22 SMP kernel. > It's all been good and ran stablely for months -- till today.
