Are you running XMail as non-root? Which kind of load are you putting on XMail? You can in theory hit that if you are creating a huge number of connections inside a TIME_WAIT period of time. I've never seen this in real life scenarios, but I experience it during XMail perf tests. But we are talking of 140000 msg/hour. - Davide - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
