Using RH6.1 acting as smtp host and apache server; three times in the last month it has stopped sending eamil. Not responsive to telnet, found the following message scrolling down the console screen: "do_try_to_free_pages failed for smbd" Only wayto break is power off. Any ideas? Thanks

Thanks for responding. As it turned out, I was also getting a failure on other processes. The problem was caused by unautorized spam routing through our mail server. We a fairly recent sendmail but the conf file was allowing routing. There wasso much spamming that the server couldn't handle the volume, I guess. When the routing hole was plugged the problem went away.
