Well actually your point seems obvious, but: I had a very close eye on the router during all my testing. Sysload is no problem, nor is memory or diskspace. Firewall configuration was not altered within months. I had a look at the router with 'netwatch', observing the router stats and there are traffic bursts of as much as 5000 kbps (!) across the router. That should be enough for POP ... since our leased line is 2 Mbit. I will take this thread to some place it fits better, since I am quite convinced I do not suffer an XMail problem. If any of you folks could point me to some good source of network debugging info ... 'till then I'll read Andy Tannenbaum all over again ;-) thank you anyway !
