Dave,
Admittedly, I'm TOTALLY confused. :)
What exactly should I be doing? :) My knowledge of unix is limited.
Would you be willing to talk me through it? Would AIM be easier?
I am up to my butt in alligators this morning, I suggest you first try a
questions list for your OS, at this point you have no idea if the issue
is your email software, hardware, power, etc.
You will need to provide a lot more info unless you want to be ignored.
I would be prepared to get any log info they request, the OS and kernel
version, and versions of all software installed.

Wow, how's that for a vague title.
Here's the situation, our server is crashing lately once a week.
Purely for fun i decided to stop anything related to mail:
1057 /etc/rc.d/init.d/MailScanner stop
1058 /etc/init.d/sendmail stop
1059 service spamassassin stop
Why are you running MailScanner and SA? MailScanner loads the SA
libraries directly. You don't need or want spamd.
/var/log/messages is your friend.

Then I ran the TOP command again. The server load dropped from 5-10
where it was:
load average: 5.88, 7.23, 8.05
Dropped down to under 1
Thoughts?
Please email me back directly so I can get the response quicker
