The box was a new install and the users had quotas before, although I have not enabled quotas on the box as of yet. I usually install ipfw in case we start getting DOS attacks, and we reject about 60k email a day mostly from the RIPE and APNIC networks. When one of these machines was new and running 4.10 it suddenly disappeared from the network one day. We found we had to disable a DOS attack feature in the BIOS for the nics. After that it ran quite nicely for around 2 years before the next reboot. ;-) Brett
