Re: Sendmail/fetchmail problems?
Is sendmail the ONLY thing you added? Are you running suck, leafnode, or
other news software that might open a bunch of files? In other words,
sendmail might be the process reporting the error but it might not be
BECAUSE of sendmail that the error is occuring. Your pop server is also
reporting problems, no?
You might check that the permissions on /var/spool/mail have not changed.
I think you will need group write depending on delivery agent.
DO you also remember adding anything else? Changing a webserver or adding
some other program? In any case, I was getting similar errors, I applied
those changes, and the errors went away. Good luck!
