[plug] zombie state

[Jon Miller]

On a Debian server  an application will go into a zombie state and lock-up.  Is there a reason for this? or better still is there a way to unlock it automatically? The application is a virus scanning software that receives mail on port 25, scans the mail and sends it to another server on another servers port 25.


Thanks
