Update:
Maybe this will help something. I just rebooted my server, first time
in a couple months. And 5 min from issuing the command I got 2 e-mails
in my admin account, a gmail address, from "Nvi recovery program".
Something about unsaved files in vi back in Sept. 2004.
So....it must be kind of working.
I updated the mainlog file, paniclog is still thankfully empty.

The other messages I sent are frozen, as are the ones I have tried
since after rebooting.
http://rsod.net/main.txt

In that log it talks about, I think, my SMTP remote address being
H=mail3.zoneedit.com. Zoneedit.com is my DNS. I don't care who's
service I need to make it work, I just want it working somehow.

Thanks for the help so far.
