It was sufficent to read the changelog (1.20): http://www.xmailserver.org/ChangeLog.html The dump you posted is a kernel panic, that makes me think of something wrong with the machine too. A program leaking is not going to generate a kernel dump. Definitely update to 1.21 ... - 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]
