the sendmail.cf line is Xmimedefang, S=unix:/var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.sock, F=T, T=S:5m;R:5m
So i guess the timeouts there are 300s then which does match the 11:27:58 -> 11:32:58 exactly (coincidence that lol) I'll tweak those a little, but it does seem strange since the box wasn't what one would call excessively loaded at the time (only about 15 slaves busy) Cheers Mack -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of James Ebright Sent: Thursday 04 August 2005 16:40 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Mimedefang] Anybody any ideas what's causing these errors ?

So at this point sendmail temp failed the message. Looks like MD was almost done with it at this point too if it was appending boiler-plate text... does it actually end up being delivered? (I suspect not once MD gets notice from sendmail it was temp failed or it was passed back to sendmial then dropped since it was tempfailed already, not sure which scenario but something like that). Tweaking your sendmail.mc file for your timeouts might help.
