I used sendmail for about 10 months, until I switched to qmail at the beginning of this month. My mail server is a moderatly busy one, and I always had from 2 to 5 runq zombies. Sometimes more. I never did get an explination of why they were zombieing, but it didn't seem to cause any real difficulties with my mail server. -- see shy jo -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
