Hi all, anyone come across stuff like this? We are runing qmail 1.03, and i'm seeing some strange things. I have a number of SMTP sessions which just hang, and then time out. No mail is actually accepted from these sessions... load is 0.00, so the processes are just hanging around for no reason... and it's always the same sources...
