I have two mail servers running courier and postfix. They've been up for a couple weeks but I just put them into production monday this week, two days ago.

The second time it happened on the other server, I had doubled the max-db-size passwd value to 67108864. Both servers are running CentOS 5, firewall disabled and no SELinux .
