  I've manually stopped all of Condor and restarted and
everything is working ok again.  I suspect the OS might
not be stable when condor starts up after a reboot.

  Running mail from the command line works perfectly well
and with the -s option.

  If I get a system with Zombies and hung mail's should
would you like me to still run the 'notification = never'
test?

  Thanks for answering!
