Below is an email I sent about this to the postfix-users list last week, but there've been no replies so I'm forwarding it on to freebsd-questions. Thanks, Bryan ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Bryan Fullerton <fehwalker@gmail.com> Date: Wed, 5 Jan 2005 13:58:00 -0500 Subject: premature end-of-input on private/smtp socket To: postfix-users@postfix.org Howdy, I've just moved my Mailman lists from an older machine (P3/933, U160 SCSI, no RAID, ECC RAM, FreeBSD 5.2.1) to a newer machine (P4/2.8G w/HT, SATA on 3Ware 8006-2LP, RAID1, ECC RAM, FreeBSD 5.3). I'm occasionally seeing messages from postfix in the maillog that concern me. Specifically: Jan 5 12:56:43 lists postfix/qmgr[30760]: warning: premature end-of-input on private/smtp socket while reading input attribute name Jan 5 12:56:43 lists postfix/qmgr[30760]: warning: private/smtp socket: malformed response Jan 5 12:56:43 lists postfix/qmgr[30760]: warning: transport smtp failure -- see a previous warning/fatal/panic logfile record for the problem description Jan 5 12:56:43 lists postfix/master[30758]: warning: process /usr/local/libexec/postfix/smtp pid 30911 killed by signal 11 So far today: Jan 5 00:00:39 satori kernel: pid 98362 (smtp), uid 125: exited on signal 11 Jan 5 02:05:04 satori kernel: pid 2097 (smtp), uid 125: exited on signal 11 Jan 5 11:37:03 satori kernel: pid 20574 (smtp), uid 125: exited on signal 11 Jan 5 12:56:43 satori kernel: pid 30911 (smtp), uid 125: exited on signal 11 This isn't a mail loss issue, as the message will just be deferred and delivered next time the queue is run. But it doesn't look good, and I want to get to the bottom of the problem in case it's something serious. So... what could cause this? Is the sig 11 causing the failure, or is master killing off smtp as a result of some other issue? Anything I can poke at? Thanks, Bryan
