May well solve the problem.  I always used the "bbsbatch" method which drops 
the mailer completely out of memory.

I ran across something I posted to another fellow who was having the same 
problems.  This may help a little more.

  I did some fooling around with available CONVENTIONAL memory this morning
  and found that the MEX programs would run (barely) with 475Kb set in a
  window (MEM showed 473Kb).  If there is much less than that, they just
  quit and put errors in the log.  Normally I have a little over 609Kb
  (conventional) in the BBS window so there's never a problem.  None of
  this has anything to do with XMS or EMS.  I didn't change those at all.
