> Hello people! Hi. Could it be that your popd or sendmail is started through inetd/xinetd? If so, it will start a new instance of the service each time a user logs in / sends a mail, which could be the reason why your load increases so much. If you run your popd or sendmail as a stand-alone service, it will always be running only one instance. Cheers.
