Ramdisk is Ok when the system is healthy, but I imagine it would only make things worse on a system having problems. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=amavis-user&m=115133622803845&w=2 In this post it appears you are using Maia and allowed very large files which it was discovered Maia 1.0 tries to slurp into memory: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=amavis-user&m=113770927919975&w=2 (I think that particular design problem has been addressed in 1.0.1.) When it ran out of steam it left the temp files and Postfix tried again. You talk of one machine having 2.2 gigs, and the other 16.8 gigs. On a healthy system you would only have as many temp directories as you have $max_servers and possibly a handful more, so both systems (at that time) were sick. Are you still allowing these very large files? How many temp directories are left on your other two systems? This may not be your problem at all, and of course following the debug instructions Mark pointed you to would provide considerably more insight, but I though this might be related. Are you still running Maia 1.0? Gary V ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
