Hello I did a clean install of our one mail server's here to see, it was running 4.10. I redid the box over ie a clean install now it has fallen over three times since Saturday 0200. I can't fathom why either. I have decided that if it crashes again today Sunday I will go back to 4.10 that at least worked fine. The second thing I have noticed on a firewall we also redid to take advantage of the new ipfw is that the forward rule does not work. That server is running just fine no falling over it does nothing other than being a dedicated firewall. The only thing is the fwd rule just does not work. This has made me very weary to change any more servers over to 5.3 for now.
