[-- Attachment #1 --] I noticed a growing queue of undelivered messages today and after some digging I found out that maildrop, which I use as a local delivery agent for sendmail in order to deliver to Maildirs, would fail on some messages bigger than its message-buffer with "Unable to create temporary file.". I traced that error message back in the sourcecode - it's emitted if tempfile generation via tmpfile(3) fails. Since permissions on /tmp were nominal and I couldn't think of anything else, I recompiled the port with an additional --enable-tempdir=.tmp in order to disable usage of tmpfile and that solved the problem. My question is: Does anybody with a similar configuration see any similar behaviour, i.e. growing queues of undelivered mail and maildrop-errors in /var/log/maillog? It may perfectly well be just my box being screwed up in a weird way, but the thought of more mail servers out there silently loosing mail is somewhat scary... -- Regards, Michael Nottebrock [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQA+QD+FXhc68WspdLARAvwXAJ9R361wUYfthKDVdyJEroPrehCKWQCeN2Wl a0bGYAkhCx9wJKaqvab5TAA= =2vxX -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
