I'm interested in using 8.9.0, but I've just read the KNOWNBUGS file
(ftp://ftp.sendmail.org/pub/sendmail/KNOWNBUGS) and saw this
paragraph:
--begin quote--
* accept() problem on Linux.
Apparently, the accept() in sendmail daemon loop can return
ETIMEDOUT and cause sendmail to sleep for 5 seconds during which
time no new connections will be accepted. An error is reported to
syslog:
Jun 9 17:14:12 hostname sendmail[207]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root):
getrequests: accept: Connection timed out
"Connection timed out" is not documented as a valid return from
accept(2) and this is believed to be a bug in the Linux kernel.
--end quote--
My sendmail processes >100,000 messages per day. A 5 second delay on
each message would cause MAJOR problems. Am I reading the KNOWNBUG
incorrectly, or am I worrying over nothing?
thanks,
mark
