Thanks in advance,

Re: MAIL_########## processes in SUSP state
If they really are in SUSP state then something put them in that state - its not a state you can get into involuntarily.

Check the setting of OpenVMS system security auditing, and particularly whether system auditing has selected the suspend status when it can't log events. This setting is configurable. You'll need to figure out why auditing got jammed up. The usual trigger involves insufficient free disk space for the audit logs, but there are other causes. There are various other triggers, such as audit storms.
The SET and SHOW AUDIT commands are the key, and there's a section in the security manual on managing process suspension and audit resource monitoring.
The other approach involves folks that have aimed suspend commands at the processes, though this situation is unlikely.
If you're not sure of what triggered the suspension of these processes (and it wasn't auditing and its resource monitoring), you can enable auditing for the suspend system service.
(You can email me offline -- um, maybe from a system that doesn't have a jammed-up mail system :-) -- if you want to discuss this.)
