About a week ago, the listserv at Templevm shut down because it ran out of
virtual memory trying to process a dist job. I had to log in and restart it
manually. This happened twice within two days time. The second time it shut
down, I added a meg of VM bringing it up to 4M. This seems to have solved the
problem. Listserv has not shut down since this change.
I just received a note on my postmaster account that says there was another
problem. It seems as if someone from an Internet site sent a LIST GLOBAL
command to my listserv which caused it to run out of VM again. It did not
shut down though as it did twice last week.
What's causing these sudden VM problems on Listserv? Could it be related to
our recent upgrade from VM XA 2.0 to 2.1? I hesitate to give Listserv > 4M of
VM. More than 4M seems excessive.
