Yes. (FreeBSD 4.2-Stable)

I don't know. It doesn't happen all the time, and there is no logging
available from within qmail-qfilter. :-/ I'm working on setting up a
test environment to try to isolate the problem. I've got softlimit
capping me usage for smtpd at 2000000 (2 MB).

Okay, how about it works fine without qmail-qfilter? :-) I only recently
started running q-qf. Prior to that nothing on my qmail system
segfaulted. If I take q-qf outta the loop, everything is peachy again.
I've searched for .core files resulting from the sig 11, but can't find
any.

Ah, bad assumption on my part. He has never responded to any mail I've
sent him concerning any of the qmail how-to's or projects he has donated
to our community. I just ASSuMEd he had moved on. My bad, and apologies
to BG. Offering up incentive isn't an issue. I'd be more than happy to.
