Hello All,

I'm  running a home email server and twice in the last week it has 
rebooted itself and been unable to restart due to corruption of the 
filesystem. I found the following in /var/log/messages

When I turn on the monitor I see that the reboot has not been successful 
due to "/ was not properly dismounted" and it is asking for fsck to be 
run manually. When I do that everything is fine again.

Can anybody help me find the cause of the crash? What extra information 
is needed and how do I find that information? I'm relatively new to FreeBSD.

Thanks in advance,

Ron

however I have "sendmail_enable="NONE"" in /etc/rc.conf so sendmail 
shouldn't be working.
