Yes, you just described my sitation exactly! Same timeframe and everything! 
We're also running v7.15 (HF3). It started about the beginning of last week. 
I haven't been able to figure it out.

My theory is that it has something to do with a particular type of message the 
smtp process tries to send, but I haven't been able to pin it down yet.

Ideas, anyone?

Thanks - Dave
