I'm feeling pretty unobservant and dumb over this - but I could use a little kind help...<BR>
<BR>
I have made some change to configuration that has screwed up SMTP mail delivery and don't see the reason for my problem.<BR>
The change happened between the 4th and 24th of this month.<BR>
As I review the present config files used against paper copies from earlier I do not see my error.<BR>
And no - I don't have an earlier "checkpoint" configuration to revert to to start over with my changes (that is coming soon).<BR>
<BR>
Consider the following excerpt from mail.log - all was well for job 116 and before.<BR>
Job 119 looks good - but that mail killed JNOS2.0d with a run-away SMTP that has now cycled up to job 75565.<BR>
If SMTP is allowed to run it maxes out CPU and freezes the JNOS console terminal display - it requires a "kill" to stop the process.<BR>

The only piece of humor I see in this is that we spent 9 wonderful days at sea shortly after the 4th to deliver a sailboat from the Caribbean to Hampton Roads in the Chesapeake Bay and it is clear I need "retraining" after the trip...<BR>
<BR>
What SMTP seems to be doing is "forwarding" k8rra mail from mqueue back into mqueue rather than delivering it to mail.<BR>
I have not "start forward" services, and it beats me how I requested SMTP to forward k8rra mail to anywhere...<BR>
The following is an excerpt from the 3+ MB file that has become the mail message...<BR>
