I now have 10 qmail-smtpd zombie processes running. This has all occurred since Spamdyke was implemented. ps aux |grep Z shows:

Z Jun14 0:00 [qmail-smtpd <defunct>] As can be seen, they are infrequent, but they are annoying. Two questions: 1) short of rebooting, how do you get rid of a zombie (you can't kill them, hence the name). 2) Any inkling as to what may be causing these zombies?
