[cobalt-users] Sendmail unexpectedly stopping on Raq550

["Mike Jenkins" <cobalt-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Is there any way to make the /etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail restart command more
reliable?

Adding a relay denied, or allowed domain causes sendmail to restart, see
/usr/sausalito/handlers/base/email/restart.pl, which executes the sendmail
restart script.

However, it doesn't check that all the sendmail instances have been stopped
before restarting, and it appears that on restart it checks to see if
sendmail is already running. So if your server has email connections open at
the time of the change, some of the time you end up with no daemon listening
for new connections. This means that you can't receive email until the
current connections are finished and swatch notices than sendmail has died,
and restarts it. (Unless you restart manually).

Anybody else seen this?
