Yesterday I lost upstream for about 4 hours. During that 4 hours my
secondary mail server had spooled approx. 150+ messages.
My configuration is as follows:
Sendmail: 8.9.3
Procmail: 3.11pre7
JunkFilter: 19990331
I have procmail set to be my MUA. Other than that it is pretty straight forward.
Here is what happened when the mailstarted coming through:
Jun 24 16:51:42 lunatic syslogd: /dev/console: Too many open files in system: To
o many open files in system
Jun 24 16:51:42 lunatic /kernel: file: table is full
Jun 24 16:51:43 lunatic syslogd: /var/run/utmp: Too many open files in system
Jun 24 16:51:44 lunatic sendmail[23310]: QAA23278: SYSERR(root): queueup:
cannot create queue temp file tfQAA23278, uid=0: Bad file descriptor
Jun 24 16:51:45 lunatic sendmail[23300]: QAA23276: SYSERR(UID0): queuename:
Cannot create "qfQAA23300" in "/var/spool/mqueue" (euid=0): Too many open files
in system
Jun 24 16:52:13 lunatic sendmail[20897]: NAA20888: QAA20897: DSN: Can't create
output
Jun 24 16:52:21 lunatic sendmail[23292]: QAA23265: QAA23292: DSN: unknown
mailer error 1
Then about 9:30 PM during normal operation I got this:
Jun 24 21:30:44 lunatic /kernel: pid 5297 (procmail), uid 0: exited on signal 10
Any assistance in what had happened and what I have misconfigured would be
highly appreciated.
TIA
