No, I only ran exiwhat to findout what was going on!
I really can only think of some sort of network problem between me and
Comcast, possibly causing an interrupt as above. Of the 30 disconnections
today, they were ALL from Comcast. Some had HELOd, some probably hadn't.

It'll be interesting if anyone else sees the same thing. It could be dragging
your server down this very minute ...
