Hello,
Sendmail 8.7.5 running on Freebsd 2.1.5 has recently started to create
many lockf
states and hung processes displayed by TOP and ps -ax after over a year in
production as a mail server.

Also, these processes will not expire until a system shutdown is
performed. Any clues
into the cause and cure of this would be greatly appreciated as this seems
to limit Sendmail's
abiltiy to handle new SMTP connections.
Thanks in Advance :-)
