Thank you for the reply.
What you say matches my expectations.
However, once I stopped passing the email through SpamBayes, the machine
has stopped crashing.
Possibly the problem is whatever was causing the underlying error that
crashed SpamBayes.
I have tried the machine diagnostics, and nothing appears to be
broken. But I will keep watching for outside problems.
Yours,
Joel
