You're getting corrupted messages that it can't recover from. Is this public facing (ie does it receive messages from the outside world) or does it pass all mail off to a relay box?
You might consider turning up the IMS logging options (probably protocol logging) and looking at what's happening in the SMTP sessions. ------------------------------------------------------ Roger D.
