Periodically, perhaps once every couple weeks, and for seemingly no reason, the following starts happening with sendmail:
karmak@antidote$ echo "To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]" | /bin/sendmail sendmail: ERR: submitclient: EOF from submit. 432 Service temporarily unavailable. sendmail: Unable to submit message. When this starts happening, it also affects webmail. The same 432 error above will be shown in a big red font when trying to send mail through webmail. The band-aid solution I've found is to pipe something to sendmail *as root*. Unlike the output shown above from a regular user, this does not fail under the root account, and seems to give sendmail the kick it needs to start working again. In other words, after running the command shown above one time as root, all users are suddenly able to pipe to sendmail again, and there is no more problem sending mail through webmail. I just saw this again tonight, and I didn't think to get an trace before I fixed the problem. When it happens again--a couple weeks maybe--I'll post more info. In the meantime, any suggestions? m. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: ApacheCon, November 18-21 in Las Vegas (supported by COMDEX), the only Apache event to be fully supported by the ASF. http://www.apachecon.com _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
