But exim usually runs as exim, not as sendmail. Hm, I would try to rename the link and then to recreate the zombie process. At some point, I´d expect to get some error message that sendmail cannot be found or something like that. This might lead you to the place where the sendmail processes are created and thereby to where the zombies come from. GH
