Spontaneous reboots

Thank you for your replies.

I got a hint off-list that this could be ipfilter:

   http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/79988

Looking at my first kernel trap error, I see I also had the (swi1: net) 
and on -CURRENT, I can't compile kernel with IPFILTER enabled, nor does 
it compile as a module.

Shifting to packet filter seems to have solved the problem, system up > 
24h and I have my mail again :-)

Regarding the illicit mail deliveries I mentioned, this persists, so I 
am exited to see that(if?) my system sustains it (I have just set the MX 
record back). It's a trivial mail-bombing of non-existing random 
addresses on my server.

I have a perl script well underway for analysing the maillog, counting 
number of rejections and looking up abuse adresses with whois - all 
nicely stored in an xml file for later use (no - I refuse to implement 
automatic mail notification to the abuse addresses). If anyone is 
interested, let me know.

Cheers, Erik
