This is a Debian Based Kernel (Ubuntu) and this is what
/var/log/messages says at the time:

Nov 11 05:37:39 pc009 -- MARK --
Nov 11 05:57:39 pc009 -- MARK --

I think this is normal... What else can I do ? I really need help, I
am waiting for another crash (since nov 11 there were no more crashes)
It's difficult to shut down the server to do a memory test, is there a
way to do it on top of the OS? If this were a hardware problem why is
only Postfix crashing? (I have Apache, MySQL and other daemons running
on the same box)

Thanks to all
