Sorry, I forgot to mention that. All mailboxes have quotas of 100MB. Now, the users that are logged into the run away process generally have a couple of megs to around 70 MBs. The process do not stop at the size of the users mailbox.
Mailboxes: skiplist The rest are default build options. Here is the build options I picked: ./configure \ --with-mboxlist-db=skiplist \ --with-openssl \ --enable-listext \ --enable-annotatemore \ --with-krb=/usr/kerberos \ --with-sasl \ --with-perl \ --with-libwrap \ --with-ucdsnmp \ --with-auth=unix -----Original Message----- From: Michael Loftis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Fri 4/2/2004 3:06 AM To: Curtis Robinson; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: BIG PROBLEM: Need help with production box I'm cynical, but I'd say it's a Redhat problem LOL...more seriously though what is the size of your dbs mailboxes file, what DB type?
