I just recently switched from sendmail to qmail and I've noticed that my
process usage seems to be alot higher than it used to be. Below is a ps
incuding all the qmail processes. I don't transfer that much mail and
I've been told that Qmail is supposed to be better.. When I ran sendmail
my usage was under 1 usually .50 or something.. now it's almost 3 ??
Is there something wrong ??? how can I fix it.. or is this normal ?

ALSO , when I run the svscan startup file I get a bind error, already in
use .... I have a feeling that this may be part of it.. but there is
nothing listening on those ports other than qmail.. I've tripple checked
the inetd.conf file and all the mail type commands are #'d out.
Is there something I've done wrong ??? or just missed ????
If more information is needed.. I'd be glad to post it or deal with
someone off list...
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance
Dave
