I'm not sure what else it might be though. All other services run just fine
before, during and after the problem. It was a clean install of Redhat 6.0 a
little over two weeks ago and once the qmail is stopped and restarted the problem
disappears. You take a ps aux and none of the qmail-daemons have died, there is
just no response to anything sent to port 25. If any one else has any suggestions,
I'd be glad to listen :-)
