I have mimedefang 2.56 running on a Redhat ES 3 server with sendmail 8.13.5 compiled. I have checked and checked again, reinstalled mimedefang, sendmail serveral times and nothing seems to help on this problem. I have removed the "-E" option as others suggested. I even setup a cronjob to restart sendmail and mimedefang every 15 minutes as also suggested. With the cronjob setup I was actually able to have the server up and running from Fri-Monday mornning. But then, as expected, once the email load started to increase the problem came back.
My maillog show me the following errors: I seperated them in blocks, any help would be greatly appreciated I have been trying to fix the problems for weeks and I'm pulling my hair out. --------- when the error first appears ----------------- Mar 27 10:39:29 mailsvr02 sendmail[32454]: k2RGdT3l032454: Milter (mimedefang): init success to negotiate Mar 27 10:39:29 mailsvr02 sendmail[32454]: k2RGdT3l032454: Milter: connect to filters Mar 27 10:39:29 mailsvr02 sendmail[32454]: k2RGdT3l032454: milter_read(mimedefang): cmd read returned 0, expecting 5 Mar 27 10:39:29 mailsvr02 sendmail[32454]: k2RGdT3l032454: Milter (mimedefang): to error state Mar 27 10:39:29 mailsvr02 sendmail[32454]: k2RGdT3l032454: Milter: connect, ending Mar 27 10:39:29 mailsvr02 sendmail[32454]: k2RGdT3l032454: Milter: connect: host=localhost, addr=0, temp failing commands Mar 27 10:39:29 mailsvr02 sendmail[32454]: k2RGdT3l032454: [EMAIL PROTECTED] did not issue MAIL/EXPN/VRFY/ETRN during connection to stdin Mar 27 10:39:30 mailsvr02 sendmail[32456]: k2RGdUlI032456: Milter (mimedefang): open /var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.sock failed: Connection refused by /var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.sock ------after a while I keep getting this over and over -------- Mar 27 10:40:05 mailsvr02 sendmail[32458]: k2RGe1Mr032458: Milter (mimedefang): error connecting to filter: Connection refused by /var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.sock Mar 27 10:40:05 mailsvr02 sendmail[32458]: k2RGe1Mr032458: Milter (mimedefang): to error state Mar 27 10:40:05 mailsvr02 sendmail[32458]: k2RGe1Mr032458: Milter: initialization failed, temp failing commands Mar 27 10:42:08 mailsvr02 sendmail[32462]: k2RGg4MI032462: Milter (mimedefang): open /var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.sock failed: Connection refused by /var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.sock Mar 27 10:42:08 mailsvr02 sendmail[32462]: k2RGg4MI032462: Milter (mimedefang): error connecting to filter: Connection refused by /var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.sock Mar 27 10:42:08 mailsvr02 sendmail[32462]: k2RGg4MI032462: Milter (mimedefang): to error state Mar 27 10:42:08 mailsvr02 sendmail[32462]: k2RGg4MI032462: Milter: initialization failed, temp failing commands Mar 27 10:42:30 mailsvr02 sendmail[32463]: k2RGgUH9032463: Milter (mimedefang): open /var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.sock failed: Connection refused by /var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.sock Mar 27 10:42:30 mailsvr02 sendmail[32463]: k2RGgUH9032463: Milter (mimedefang): error connecting to filter: Connection refused by /var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.sock Mar 27 10:42:30 mailsvr02 sendmail[32463]: k2RGgUH9032463: Milter (mimedefang): to error state Mar 27 10:42:30 mailsvr02 sendmail[32463]: k2RGgUH9032463: Milter: initialization failed, temp failing commands Mar 27 10:44:59 mailsvr02 sendmail[32464]: k2RGixnh032464: Milter (mimedefang): open /var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.sock failed: Connection refused by /var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.sock --- first time i see this today ---------------- Mar 27 13:19:16 mailsvr02 sendmail[360]: k2RJJFWM000360: Milter (mimedefang): local socket name /var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.sock unsafe Mar 27 13:19:16 mailsvr02 sendmail[360]: k2RJJFWM000360: Milter (mimedefang): to error state Mar 27 13:19:16 mailsvr02 sendmail[360]: k2RJJFWM000360: Milter: initialization failed, temp failing commands _______________________________________________ NOTE: If there is a disclaimer or other legal boilerplate in the above message, it is NULL AND VOID.
