savemail panics occur when sendmail is unable to deliver a bounced 
message to the postmaster alias.

 Hi!
 
 I'm encountering this most curious error on a fairly new FreeBSD 8
 machine and I'm just not sure where to go with this.
 
 The Error: 
 Jan  6 12:56:31  sendmail[1600]: p06HuRGB001600:
 Losing ./qfp06HuRGB001600: savemail panic
 Jan  6 12:56:31  sendmail[1600]: p06HuRGB001600: SYSERR(root): savemail:
 cannot save rejected email anywhere

 Unless my understanding of mathematics is way off, I've got more than
 enough room:

 /dev/ad0s1d1.3G 18M1.2G 1%/var
 
 
 Any insight on what is happening/causing this would be beyond
 awesome. :).

When I've had that err message I check my /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
is up to newest release to match the .mc  binaries from source,
then check all path in the .cf exist,  check access permissions.
Then the problem goes away.

Cheers,
Julian

Ah, thank you. That helped. In case these archives help someone in the
future, here's what hapened: Armed with this information, I took another
run at the logs and there was a problem with the hostname, which was:

.root

Yeah, so I updated the hostname and savemail isn't panicking anymore and
neither am I. :).

Thanks, all!
