I have no idea. I've Googled this to try to find out what this means and how
to check it. All I could find was a thread on a forum squabbling about how a
question was asked rather than how to answer the question.
I did find a suggestion that deleteing /dev/random and creating a symlink
to /dev/urandom is a solution. Would this work?
Apparently 2.6 kernels produce less entropy than 2.4 and as this server does
nothing else except email handling it is possible that this could be the case
