[Mimedefang] MIMEDefang crashing regularly

[Cormack, Ken]

Very quickly, run a "mailstats" command.  Assuming you have
statistics-keeping configured into your sendmail, and the statiscs file
actually exists, you should be able to see output that (among other things)
will show you exactly what kind of traffic you process.  If you truncate the
statistics file nightly (truncate, not delete), then you can get daily
totals every day.

I have to use these settings as my volume is just that high.  I don't 
know how many emails it processes per day as I haven't installed a stats 
package yet, but it's a dual Xeon with 4GB RAM, and it's pretty much 
consumed.  It handles mail for some 10,000 mailboxes.
