Package: sendmail
Version: 8.15.2-3
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
Today I booted and sendmail was deferring all locally delivered mail. I had
a bunch of lines in my log like this:
Jan 4 23:43:57 mymachine sendmail[13613]: u048N14w019302:
to=<x...@example.com>, delay=23:20:52, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=cyrusv2,
pri=5394363418, relay=localhost, dsn=4.3.5, stat=Deferred: No such file or
directory
I straced the process to see what it might not be liking and found these
ENOENT lines:
stat("./xfu048N14w019302", 0x7ffe789e33e0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
unlink("./xfu048N14w019302") = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
open("DB_CONFIG", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
On a whim I did `touch /var/spool/mqueue/DB_CONFIG` and suddenly all my mail
got delivered.
This seems like a bug. Should this file be required to exist? If so, why
wasn't it there? What does it do?
