Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] Postfix and Dovecot SASL startup catch-22

I've ran out of RAM on a DL box, then daemons start to die at a alarming
rate. We looks awfully like a crash.

I don't remember any DL crashes, that were software related.

But I've had power outages long enough to deplete my UPS.
I've had CPU fans quit.  I've had power supplies die.
I've had breakers/fuses blow.  I've had mobo capacitors leak.
I've had video cards and networks cards die and bring down a box.
I've seen faulty memory do very strange things to a server.
I once had a steam pipe start spraying water into a server!  :-)

Any of those things (and other hardware problems) will take a toll=20
on your uptime....  :-(
