Er, um, (humble look), I just studied my syslog, and in fact the postmaster _didn't_ restart. I tried to restart it using the Red Hat control script from /etc/rc.d/init.d, but apparently that script lied to me when it said the restart succeeded. The syslog clearly shows the postmaster didn't actually restart until about 10 minutes later, _after_ the second error. So I was talking to the same postmaster every time. Arrggh. I'm reassured now that this is just a passing memory management issue and not a symptom of a more serious problem, I'm sure the error wouldn't have happened the second time if the postmaster had in fact restarted. Everything looks fine now so I'm going to stop worrying about it. Thanks much for your help! Bob Smith Hammett & Edison, Inc.
