The server is a 200 MHz pentium with 128K ram and a 4 GIG hard drive. The Swap file system is set for 422 Megs. We are running BSDI/OS 2.0 and sendmail 8.8.4, with IMAP 4.1 as the ipop3d. This problem has occured on other machines with similar configuration. Interestingly enough, when the error occurs, a check of pstat indicates the a the swap file is not even being used, and a top indicated in excess of 50 Megs of available ram! Any help would be appreicated. Thanks! Chris Michaels
