Don’t assume it is submission – unless you have a good reason to know you are sending emails at those times. ‘Submission’ only runs when a client connects on 587 to send email. if it is only you then you will know when you are sending. I think it can be imap4, imap4ssl, pop, etc., i.e. the client connecting periodically to check for new email.

Which log file are you getting segfault in? Jeez, sorry, I referenced it incorrectly before. They’re in /var/log/messages, NOT /var/log/maillog. :( /var/log/messages:Jun 10 09:51:15 xxx kernel: vchkpw[19152]: segfault at 0 ip 00007f386f954ad6 sp 00007ffea3855d68 error 4 in libc-2.17.so[7f386f822000+1b7000] Again, though, for what it’s worth, I grepped the date/time of the segfault in all of the other files in /var/log and didn’t find any matches. I know the qmail logfiles timestamp in a different format until piped through tai64nlocal, but I really looked for any other time-based clues in all of the other system logfiles and couldn’t find anything happening at or near the same time. Very puzzling. So I’m still not clear whether there’s any other way to find out what process invoked vchkpw in the above instance (they’re all like that, always in vchkpw). I don’t know for sure if I’m softlimiting the right process in qmail submission, or if it could be something else, or how to tell. -- Steve Linberg, Chief Goblin Silicon Goblin Technologies http://silicongoblin.com Be kind.
