77 slaves? How much memory do you have on this machine? I'd estimate a guess on the order of 3GB minimum needed to make this work, maybe more.
I think you need to look at lowering your sendmail processes and your mimedefang mins/max to much more reasonable levels. How many emails are you doing per day approximately and how much RAM do you have in this box? Regards, KAM > MIMEDefang has been crashing on me fairly regularly and it's driving me > bonkers.
