I'm also experiencing this, although I'm not sure I'd consider my server a high-volume server, but it's certainly not low-volume... Maybe mid-volume? :-) At any rate, the number of "hung" SMTP sessions slowly grows over time, with about 300 hung sessions in a two week period. A reboot clears them, and the cycle starts over. >From other posts here, I've checked, and also find many "defunct" qmail-smtpd processes, with matching spamdyke process. I'm running spamdyke4.0.2. This is not on a Qmail Toaster box, rather a Qmailrocks box that hasn't been pulled down yet. :-) But, it's exhibiting the same symptoms. Let me know if you need anything specific to help figure out the issue Sam. Michael J.
