Thanks for replying. Francis, absolutely nothing changed since the server started to core dump, I can assure you. Friday morning, when I got to work XMAIL wasn't accepting emails anymore because it's partition was full, it had 105GB left Thursday night. So I checked what was taking all the free space without finding any huge amount of anormal files. The files inside xmail partition was occupying less than 5GB.
I have rebooted in single user mode, ran fsck which didn't find anything wrong, rebooted and got the normal free space left. The problems with XMAIL started to show up, some mailboxes had truncated emails due to not enough space to write the files on the HDDs which I have fixed, pop3 clients would just hangs downloading small emails so I had to kill XMAIL a couple of times because it wouldn't stop safely. After deleting all the bad mails the problems persisted and I downgraded to the 1.24 binaries, problems went away. Maybe something 1.25 uses on my system got corrupted when I killed xmail, I don't know.. I am (was) using latest 1.25-stable for at least 3 months and never had any issue until last Friday. What you mean by "other version" ? When I installed it 3 months ago I have got the source from: http://www.xmailserver.org/xmail-1.25.tar.gz Bill, I will try to run memtest86 ASAP but I have to move the domains and users to another server before doing that. This is a production server and I cannot take it down for hours.

(some packages updates, new software install, or dependencies for the aboves, = especialy core system components or openssl, ...) Did you use last 1.25 'stable' or previous 'pre' version ? Can you try the other 1.25 version ? (older or newer) Francis ----------- If it's a memory problem it could be that 1.24 doesn't use as much so doesn't hit the problem. If you don't have a good memory tester go grab a ISO at http://www.memtest.org/ and make a bootable memory test CD.
