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.:

 5950 ?        S      1:56 sendmail: ./g4U57q9n028105 ns02.vdma.org.: client

 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.
