[cobalt-users] Sendmail 8.11.1



Another thing about sendmail.

The processes seem to be hanging, after a while killing sendmail.

Is this because to many mails haven't been sent correctly and sendmail is
still trying to send them out with its 5 day grace period?

I need to fix this problem, currently I'm monitoring sendmail closely,
killing sendmail off when it hangs and restarting it.

Below is a ps on sendmail processes

[root@dom1 web]# ps -A | grep sendmail
 8055 ?        00:00:00 sendmail
 8057 ?        00:00:00 sendmail
 8329 ?        00:00:00 sendmail
 8331 ?        00:00:00 sendmail
 8437 ?        00:00:00 sendmail
 8486 ?        00:00:00 sendmail
 8490 ?        00:00:00 sendmail
 8513 ?        00:00:00 sendmail
 8769 ?        00:00:00 sendmail
 8773 ?        00:00:00 sendmail
 8808 ?        00:00:00 sendmail
 8809 ?        00:00:00 sendmail
 8810 ?        00:00:00 sendmail
 8849 ?        00:00:00 sendmail
 8871 ?        00:00:00 sendmail
 8872 ?        00:00:00 sendmail
 8873 ?        00:00:00 sendmail
 8874 ?        00:00:00 sendmail
 8875 ?        00:00:00 sendmail
 8876 ?        00:00:00 sendmail
 8878 ?        00:00:00 sendmail
 8880 ?        00:00:00 sendmail

I did the same thing 5 minutes later to get this result

[root@dom1 web]# ps -A | grep sendmail
 8055 ?        00:00:00 sendmail
 8057 ?        00:00:00 sendmail
 8329 ?        00:00:00 sendmail
 8331 ?        00:00:00 sendmail
 8437 ?        00:00:00 sendmail
 8486 ?        00:00:00 sendmail
 8490 ?        00:00:00 sendmail
 8513 ?        00:00:00 sendmail
 8769 ?        00:00:00 sendmail
 8773 ?        00:00:00 sendmail
 8808 ?        00:00:00 sendmail
