Hi there.
This isn't really all that important, since I fixed the problem by
re-starting qmail, but I had some strange things happenning this morning. On
a low traffic mail server, I noticed that mail wasn't getting through. On
checking the queue there were 13 messages not yet processed. Checking the
syslog revealed:
Mar 16 07:46:37 marilyn qmail: 953210797.508620 alert: oh no! lost spawn
connection! dying...
I restarted qmail and everything's fine now. What I'd like to know is why
did it die? I'd like to avoid this happenning in the future. I've never seen
it before.
FYI:

Each one of the aliases above is a user, and I keep that domain's files in
the home directory - I find it easier than handling all the files in one
place.
If anyone needs any more info, please let me know.
Thanks,
