Actually I like the feature that segfaults and other abort signals are logged. On Serers where no untrusted multiple users are present this is helpfull. Freebsd does that for a long time. Besides ratelimiting, we could make it an runtime sysctl option, but please keep it. The OP would have never found out about his qmail problem.. Gruss Bernd
