Do the processes seem to grow on a runaway basis, or do they reach a maximum? If it's a per-connection leak, then we should see process sizes grow towards a maximum that's proportional with the maxconnects value. > Hm I'll give ulimit a try on dbmail-lmtpd... Doesn't ulimit begin forcing malloc() failures? It would be interesting to see how the daemon behaves. A malloc() failure should result in the child process killing itself, a new one starting, and the MTA retrying that message. Aaron
