Hi there, I have a mail server running on sendmail 8.12.3 on linux. Recently I have had several problems with it.
I found that if I did a `ps -ax | grep sendmail` , the output was 18488 ? S 0:46 sendmail: rejecting connections on daemon MTA: load a 1023 ? D 0:04 sendmail: running queue: /var/spool/mqueue 1272 ? D 0:04 sendmail: running queue: /var/spool/mqueue After restarting sendmail, I found the following output to `ps -ax | grep sendmail`: 3772 ? S 0:01 sendmail: accepting connections 5440 ? S 2:18 sendmail: ./g4UFJX9M011501 mx02.comstar.net.: user op 5950 ? S 1:56 sendmail: ./g4U57q9n028105 ns02.vdma.org.: client gre 7494 ? S 0:17 sendmail: ./g4UFEh9N011357 mail.anti-social.com.: use 7876 ? D 0:04 sendmail: running queue: /var/spool/mqueue spamcop.net had listed my server as an Open Relay for a while, but now reports that it is not and should not be blocked. However, from the outputs I have shown above, I'm guessing that I need to take action and fast. I have appended the end of my /var/log/maillog file below just in case it proves useful.
