texte = So the problem sounds like it is between the webcatalog emailer and your email server. Does your email server continue to send email from other sources? Is it still responsive? If so, I recall an issue about webcatalog choking on certain emails and causing the server to stop sending. I think in newer versions of webcat, the problem emails are pushed to a folder. What version of webcat do you have? Here are few tests I'd run. Try a stripped down email. If that goes through, then the HTML email seems like the culprit. These email files are strange beasts and I would review the code you use to make sure the line endings are right. Also, check permissions. That can cause weird problems too.

However my mail server still crashes. The mail server is a seperate server and you can still ssh and web admin the server, it just stops sending and receiving mail. I have checked the logs, but there are no errors. I don't think it is a connection problem between my server and the mail server, as when the page is called from a PC or Mac OS 9 machine it works fine, just Mac OS X.
