any chance you've munged your .procmailrc or /etc/aliases lately? i did a few days ago, and as a result i compressed my server under a heavy load of exim-recursion loops ad infinitum. load average was up to 36.2 !! i have a secondary login that i forward stuff to as a fall-through default, and i'd inserted an alias for "*" to be for my primary login. so round and round it went... it brought even the command line to a crawl -- i couldn't stand the wait even for "man exim" to figure out how to kill the suckers. so i renamed my ~/.procmailrc file and all the dust finally settled, after which i figured out the snag (the * alias) and then restored my .procmailrc. i'm feeling much better, now. -- See, if you were allowed to keep the money, you wouldn't create jobs with it.
