I have a 2.2.8 mail server running at a remote location that does the same thing. I have another 2.2.8 mail server at my office that has never done it. But the other one just stops logging once in a while. No warnings of any kind or unusual messages prior to it halting. I just log in from the office and see that it quit last night sometime. It's not real consistant either. It probably quits about once every two or three weeks. In my case sighup is useless as well. I have to kill syslogd and restart it. It's running a generic kernel and ssh with Sendmail 8.9.3. Everything else is shut down in inetd.conf.
