Re: [cobalt-users] Sendmail problem (BIG problem)

[Greg <gcaron@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We're having the same problem with similar setup. Raq 2 with 140 domains. 
This started to happen after we were forced to migrate 40 or so domains 
from one raq to this one. When one of the sites stops accepting email we go 
into the site settings for the site, unchecked the accept email option then 
reapply it. We then restart the mail server through control panel as it now 
appears that it the previous step kills sendmail but does not restart it. 
This fixes the domain but then others start to have a problem. I am by no 
means a UNIX guru but while researching the problem noticed that the 
aliases.db file is now and remains to be 16384 bytes or exactly 16k. If we 
add forwarding information to an email account or add text to the vacation 
reply the aliases file gets larger but the aliases.db file remains the 
same. I don't know if the db file is related to the aliases as they seem to 
come from the virtusertable but that it was worth mentioning. It makes me 
wonder if the 75 site code limit from the Raq 1 is effecting the Raq 2 in 
regards to email.
