Trying to find a problem with smtpd used rcctl change the standard configuration to
rcctl get smtpd smtpd_class=daemon smtpd_flags=-T all -v smtpd_timeout=30 smtpd_user=root and restarted smtpd I expected more detailed logging to occur in maillog There did not appear to be any extra messages in maillog. But in /var/log/messages the following appeared Jun 10 13:41:45 gateway sendsyslog: dropped 10 messages, error 55 Jun 10 13:41:45 gateway sendsyslog: dropped 2 messages, error 55 Jun 10 13:41:45 gateway sendsyslog: dropped 1 message, error 55 Jun 10 13:41:45 gateway sendsyslog: dropped 2 messages, error 55 Jun 10 13:41:45 gateway sendsyslog: dropped 1 message, error 55 Jun 10 13:41:45 gateway sendsyslog: dropped 1 message, error 55 Jun 10 13:41:45 gateway sendsyslog: dropped 2 messages, error 55 Jun 10 13:41:45 gateway sendsyslog: dropped 1 message, error 55 Jun 10 13:41:45 gateway sendsyslog: dropped 2 messages, error 55 Jun 10 13:41:45 gateway sendsyslog: dropped 1 message, error 55 Jun 10 13:41:45 gateway sendsyslog: dropped 1 message, error 55 Jun 10 13:41:45 gateway sendsyslog: dropped 2 messages, error 55 Jun 10 13:41:45 gateway sendsyslog: dropped 1 message, error 55 Jun 10 13:41:45 gateway sendsyslog: dropped 2 messages, error 55 Jun 10 13:41:45 gateway sendsyslog: dropped 1 message, error 55 Jun 10 13:41:45 gateway sendsyslog: dropped 1 message, error 55 Jun 10 13:41:45 gateway sendsyslog: dropped 2 messages, error 55 Jun 10 13:41:45 gateway sendsyslog: dropped 1 message, error 55 Jun 10 13:41:45 gateway sendsyslog: dropped 2 messages, error 55 Jun 10 13:41:45 gateway sendsyslog: dropped 1 message, error 55 Jun 10 13:41:45 gateway sendsyslog: dropped 1 message, error 55 Jun 10 13:41:45 gateway sendsyslog: dropped 2 messages, error 55 Jun 10 13:41:45 gateway sendsyslog: dropped 1 message, error 55 Jun 10 13:41:45 gateway sendsyslog: dropped 2 messages, error 55 Jun 10 13:41:45 gateway sendsyslog: dropped 1 message, error 55 Jun 10 13:41:45 gateway sendsyslog: dropped 1 message, error 55 Jun 10 13:41:45 gateway sendsyslog: dropped 2 messages, error 55 Jun 10 13:41:45 gateway sendsyslog: dropped 1 message, error 55 Jun 10 13:41:45 gateway sendsyslog: dropped 2 messages, error 55 Jun 10 13:41:45 gateway sendsyslog: dropped 1 message, error 55 Jun 10 13:41:45 gateway sendsyslog: dropped 1 message, error 55 Jun 10 13:41:45 gateway sendsyslog: dropped 2 messages, error 55 Jun 10 13:41:45 gateway sendsyslog: dropped 1 message, error 55 Jun 10 13:41:45 gateway sendsyslog: dropped 2 messages, error 55 Jun 10 13:41:45 gateway sendsyslog: dropped 1 message, error 55 Jun 10 13:41:45 gateway last message repeated 4 times and continues at about the same rate until smtpd is stopped and the flags reset further details I was actually running opensmtpd-201606062303p1 with opensmtpd-extras-201606062304
