Interestingly enough, we've been running into a situation with one
of our clients where one of the mail machines in their cluster will
hang up for about 20 minutes when sending a 150KB message to 100
people.  At least that seems to be the trigger...  We're still
investigating, but these are running something like KRUD 6.1 with
2.2.12 kernel on single processor boxes...

Syslog on these boxes is going over the net, but we are getting some
"out of memory" errors logged somwhere during this.  You aren't seeing
anything?
