Greetings I'm seeing quite a few piperd when I do a top (freebsd) on the system: 72640 defang -8 0 38208K 29240K piperd 2:16 4.44% 4.44% perl 74065 defang -8 0 38784K 27180K piperd 0:18 0.00% 0.00% perl At the same time the box stops accepting smtp connections. Any ideas of what I should be looking for? Google didn't seem to help any.... thanks... Paul
