[Mimedefang] Mimedefang crash

[Stephane Lentz]

You can Try to apply the sendmail 8.12.2 patch - if you're running 
sendmail 8.12.2 and also try to tune your solaris : 
- http://www.sean.de/Solaris/tune.html
- http://www.princeton.edu/~unix/Solaris/troubleshoot/kerntune.html
- http://httpd.apache.org/docs/misc/perf-tuning.html

BTW what network tuning do you - Mimedefang users - do on Linux & 
Solaris ? 
Such information could be added to the MIMEDefang package. 

David, the information on http://www.roaringpenguin.com/mimedefang/
states that the latest sendmail release is 8.12.1. Can you correct 
this ?

Regards,
