I'm posting from FC2, so I'm not going to have a go at you still using FC2,
but I think you should have taken advantage of Fedora legacy before it shut
down. there were a lot of security updates provided by it, including
sendmail.
I have a copy of the latest sendmail security update from Fedora legacy if you
want it (sendmail-8.12.11-4.26.legacy). Also there is a later kernel from
Fedora legacy, but I can't e-mail that, as it's too big
(2.6.10-2.3.legacy_FC2 , but if you have somewhere I can upload it to, I will
do.
I may well be wrong, but I think I'd fire up ps auxw on the CLI, find out the
PID's of the sendmail processes that are running, kill them, and then restart
sendmail, and see if the problem persists.
Thanks, I will think about this. I'm starting to think I need to have a
Fedora 8 server.
Meanwhile, I did an 'ls /var/spool' and got the following output. Look
at the monster 20,660,224 size given for the mqueue directory below!
Does this mean I have a massively sized mail queue? I can cd inside it
but I cannot list the directory. What could be happening here, is there
any way to fix this problem? Perhaps it got corrupted at some time in
the past?
