I run qmail 1.01 on my -current system with 32MBs. I have a .qmail file which says | /var/qmail/bin/preline /usr/local/bin/procmail I often get error messages such as: Jul 23 13:02:12 mpress qmail: 869688132.490708 delivery 40: deferral: preline:_fatal:_temporary_problem/ Jul 23 13:01:40 mpress qmail: 869688100.100646 delivery 37: deferral: Unable_to_fork._(#4.3.0)/ And messages from procmail about cannot fork. my kernel is compiled with maxusers 20 Most of the time its just me and X logged in. I'm running afterstep and usually have 4 rxvt windows. I don't get these errors in any other context, so I'm guessing that something is limiting qmail or my account. Any ideas? -- Brian Litzinger brian@mpress.com
