<DIV>I am having the same thing on a low volume (home server) scanner.</DIV>
<DIV>I tracked it down to the 'child dying of old age' event which triggers MS to spawn a new process, because of the low volume all of the childs usually restart in short order of each other because the incoming mail gets handed off to the next child which also dies of old age when its triggered. This happens because my grey listing setup can keep MS idle for hours on end before something actually gets delivered.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>On my high volume server this problem hardly never arrises, only with the very occasional spam mail which is probably designed to actually kill the server.</DIV>
