sendmail 8.9.3 A "ps xo command | grep sendmail" on my BSD box I get this output. sendmail: accepting connections on port 25 (sendmail) sendmail: server pppdslc242.mpls.uswest.net [216.160.21.242] cmd read (sendmail) sendmail: server pppdslc242.mpls.uswest.net [216.160.21.242] child wait (sendmail) sendmail: server wagner.kaist.ac.kr [143.248.146.22] child wait (sendmail) sendmail: OAA03852 wagner.kaist.ac.kr [143.248.146.22]: DATA (sendmail) sendmail: server [209.247.75.220] child wait (sendmail) sendmail: OAA03864 [209.247.75.220]: DATA (sendmail) And in the maillog I see : Nov 4 12:11:05 greenberg sendmail[3643]: LAA03643: from=<ollie74@freemail.com.pk>, size= 0, class=0, pri=30000, nrcpts=1, msgid=<199911041711.LAA03643@netsurfin.com>, proto=SMTP, relay=wagner.kaist.ac.kr [143.248.146.22] Nov 4 13:11:23 greenberg sendmail[3692]: MAA03692: timeout waiting for input from wagner .kaist.ac.kr during message collect And I sent e-mail from pppdslc242.mpls.uswest.net to root@greenberg.com with the mail server set to greenberg.com. though I receive the mail the cmd read and child wait lines keep showing up and stay there even after the email is delivered. Is the system compromised ? Or is there some kind of timeout that I need to set for sendmail to cleanup its connections ?
