Date: Thu, 14 Jan 1999 12:53:31 -0600 From: Jon Loeliger Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Folks, So, I frequently search my mail logs. I found this sequence: Jan 12 12:32:14 chrome sendmail[19346]: MAA19346: SYSERR: putoutmsg ([203.37.180.6]): error on output channel sending "250 ... Sender ok": Broken pipe Jan 12 12:32:14 chrome sendmail[19346]: MAA19346: SYSERR: putoutmsg ([203.37.180.6]): error on output channel sending "550 ... User unknown": Broken pipe Jan 12 12:32:14 chrome sendmail[19346]: MAA19346: ... User unknown Jan 12 12:32:14 chrome sendmail[19346]: MAA19346: SYSERR: putoutmsg ([203.37.180.6]): error on output channel sending "503 Need RCPT (recipient)": Broken pipe Besides the fact that I got dinged by "porndaily", I'm curious to know - what it means, - what was attempted, - and what I should do about it. This is on my system: chrome 2442 % uname -a FreeBSD chrome.jdl.com 2.2-BETA_A FreeBSD 2.2-BETA_A #0: Tue Dec 24 03:41:49 1996 jkh@time.cdrom.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC i386 Is it Really Time to swap in my 3.0 machine to be the SMTP gateway? rust 274 % uname -a FreeBSD rust.jdl.com 3.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 3.0-RELEASE #0: Sat Oct 17 17:45:06 GMT 1998 jkh@kickme.freebsd.org:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC i386 We'd go from Sendmail 8.8.4 to 8.9.1 in the process...
