Hi all!
Eskimo became unresponsive today and I had to call Actcom so they'll reboot
it. By unresponsive I mean it answered pings, but ssh and HTTP did not work.
It's been a while since it happened and the cause is not clear.
Going over /var/log/messages I see a lot of the following messages:

These are generated by Sympa probably due to spam sent to this list. It is
possible Sympa clogged the server, but I'm not sure. Besides, these messages
happen all the time even during normal operation. I'll try to investigate.
I should note that it's been a while since such unresponsiveness happened
before. Once Etch becomes stable, I'd like that Lior and I would upgrade
Eskimo and also upgrade to the larger memory.
