Re: System resource

Hi and thank for your attention,I think that there are two problems:

- the first is in the mailbox size
- the second is that the timeout  -T600 is is a value too much high

..now I have configured the qouta disk at 100MB and now I use the default 
timeout value, today I haven't problems.
Thanks.
