I presently have 1581, so it has increased from this morning, but after 
a pop3 login I did not see an immeadiate increment.  You are certain 
that the non-buggy (expected) behavior for KQUEUE is only a single 
occurence (or maybe a couple of occurences)?  I have about 40 users 
using this server for SMTP and POP3 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and I 
have not seen (in over 3 years of a similar set-up running FreeBSD) a 
single error similar to the one you were getting in your log file.  What 
is the File Descriptor Limit 'ulimit -n' you refer to - is that a kernel 
function, or a utility of some sort?  I guessing it is a kernel 
parameter in FreeBSD that can be modified?

I have had really heinous RBL freezes (due to timeouts on the RBL's 
themselves) that locked up SMTP until I isolated the problem, but that 
has been the only problem of note with XMail I have encountered in this 
time.  It has been incredibly stable.
