Just restart AOLserver nightly.

That is what we do on OpenACS.org that has the same issue.

Presumably that is caused by a memory leak, or alternatively threads not terminating and releasing allocate memory.

I have been using a modified version of ns_sendmail for sending outgoing mail for about four years and have not seen this issue.

Dave - Restarting Aolserver nightly solves the problem for now.

Richard - Did you simply replace calls to sendmail with ns_sendmail in acs_mail_lite? Have you run into any issues using ns_sendmail?
