I posted a question to this list a month or so ago about getting "mailer
prog died with error 213" and "mailer prog died with error 13". I just
wanted to follow up. Here's a summary:
I don't have any answers, but I found a solution. We were getting
"mailer prog died with error 213" and "mailer prog died with signal 13"
messages from sendmail. It always occurred with procmail, and happened
pretty consistently with messages from certain domains. I made a run at
looking at the headers to see if there was anything different from all
the others that worked, but wasn't able to find anything.
So the solution was to upgrade procmail to the latest
version, procmail-3.11pre4 . The canonical site is
ftp://ftp.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/pub/packages/procmail/procmail.tar.gz
Here are some other suggestions I got when initially asking about the
problem. Sorry I don't have the authors; they're in my mail archives
somewhere.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was caused my my Upstream provider haveing faulty
routing (Sprint) so my DNS was timing out...but during the look up
sendmail just hung and mail.local died
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Try looking in the file '/usr/include/sys/syscall.h' if you have one. That
should contain the list of error messages for the machine.
[note, this didn't help us as the numbers didn't go up that high.]
