nic.funet.fi  has been down for a while for operating system upgrade,
and the thing is still partly incomplete, but email and ftp works again..

I have written a utility:  "sps"  for Solaris (originally for OSF/1),
which can show you process sibling relationships.
Also it will tell you (sps -l) how large those processes are.

Pull it, and compile, from:
	ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/unix/sun/solaris/utils/sol-sps.tar.gz

I very much doubt that the problem is smtpserver, but getting solid data
will convince even me..
