I posted something about this a while ago and didn't get any response.  I 
having a HUGE problem with sendmail.  I'm clueless that sendmail is even 
down until I check the box.  No mail comes in until I restart and even then 
sendmail doesn't stay up.

Note: I have only been having this problem since FreeBSD 4.8.  I have been 
doing the same setup for ages on all my boxes without failure until 
now.  Now, here is what my maillog says:

(note, my logs is filled with these errors, this is just a minor paste)

to signal
May 15 13:44:37 hollywood sm-msp-queue[37972]: restarting 
/usr/sbin/sendmail due to signal


If anybody has any clues as to why this is happening, any input would be 
much appreciated. The only thing I can figure out from this is that 
sendmail is getting a restart signal but not coming back up when it does.



Thanks,



A
