Hi,
After I added blacklist entries to my cobalt.cf as suggested in this
newsgroup I have the following problem. Every few hours I get an alert
that my smtp could not be restarted and is shut down. after 15 minutes I
get an alert that everything is fine again. Fun thing is it always
starts on a quarter so my guess is it has something todo with a cron job.
If I remove the blacklist entries the problem dissapears, but the
junkmail arives. :-(
I can't get any clues from the log files. Someone experience this problem
Johan
well,
every cron.quarter-hourly the swatch-services are started and do check
if everything is still fine (running). maybe you blocked the swatch
service which is always connecting from 127.0.0.1 (localhost) to check
if eg. port 25 is responding - if the swatch-service gets no response
it will try to restart sendmail and that obviously will give you the
experienced problems.
in other words: does "telnet localhost 25" give you a sendmail response?
