We have seen the following happen a couple of times: we have Reminders,
subclassed from XronDTMLMethod. When a Reminder triggers, it sends
email (using MailHost). When this fails, Xron goes into a spin,
the Reminder retriggering forever, bloating Data.fs with a Gb or more
overnight. We've started looking at the code a couple of times, but
everything looked fine ..
