Thanks David Now after about an hour of implementing the ulimit change

Here's some free advice: On RHEL3, type "ulimit -s": $ ulimit -s 10240 So each thread wants 10MB of stack space. That can chew up your RAM pretty quickly. I recommend editing the MIMEDefang startup script and putting: ulimit -s 2048 just before mimedefang (not the multiplexor!) is invoked. Right now, the sample red hat script does it only if you have more than 100 slaves, but it should really do it unconditionally. Regards, David.
