Thanks, I think you nailed it. The PC only has 16Meg RAM and 32 meg swap space. It was a "give-away" for doing some PC work at church. I didn't notice the problem when just running Debian Stable and playing with it. Also didn't notice the problem with sendmail / ipopd. As much as I like SquirrelMail, I think it might be more than my PC can handle. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
