--Boundary-02=_F+DQ+e0Mj8/nqpx Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Description: signed data Content-Disposition: inline I noticed a growing queue of undelivered messages today and after some digg= ing=20 I found out that maildrop, which I use as a local delivery agent for sendma= il=20 in order to deliver to Maildirs, would fail on some messages bigger than it= s=20 message-buffer with "Unable to create temporary file.". I traced that error message back in the sourcecode - it's emitted if tempfi= le=20 generation via tmpfile(3) fails. Since permissions on /tmp were nominal and= I=20 couldn't think of anything else, I recompiled the port with an additional=20 =2D-enable-tempdir=3D.tmp in order to disable usage of tmpfile and that sol= ved=20 the problem. My question is: Does anybody with a similar configuration see any similar=20 behaviour, i.e. growing queues of undelivered mail and maildrop-errors in=20 /var/log/maillog? It may perfectly well be just my box being screwed up in = a=20 weird way, but the thought of more mail servers out there silently loosing= =20 mail is somewhat scary... =2D-=20 Regards, Michael Nottebrock --Boundary-02=_F+DQ+e0Mj8/nqpx Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQA+QD+FXhc68WspdLARAvwXAJ9R361wUYfthKDVdyJEroPrehCKWQCeN2Wl a0bGYAkhCx9wJKaqvab5TAA= =2vxX -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Boundary-02=_F+DQ+e0Mj8/nqpx-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
