Time to look for system problems?

When you set an account to 'Mirror to List' (as you've indicated that
you've done below), SIMS creates a new file in the accounts folder that has
the name of the account being mirrored & '@L'. IOW, if you have a mirror
list for the account 'johndoe', SIMS will create a new file called
'johndoe@L'. If you open the '@L' file with a text editor, you should see
that it simply contains a list of the address being mirrored to.

Have you tried giving SIMS more memory?
