yeah, something similar used to happen on an experimental Relay at
Internet Ganav I installed once, it was the highest load machine I have
ever run Qmail on (a 4CPU UltraSparc, Solaris 2.7, a few hundred Emails
a minute plus peeks). I used to find the machine with zombie remotes,
which nothing other than a reboot would solve. the experiment was
discontinued when I left them before I could figure out what the problem
was.
