I'm getting occasional mail items that are not able to be delivered, with an
error being returned from deliver to sendmail.
Software: solaris 8, imap 1.6.24, sendmail 8.10.1, sasl 1.5.20
Currently, there are two messages that are sitting there unable to be
delivered and sendmail is retrying every 15 minutes.
To me it looks like some database is corrupted and needs to be rebuilt. Both
messages are addressed to this list, which has my address on it
([EMAIL PROTECTED]), which then gets redirected via a sieve script to
archive.info-cyrus. I've tried 'reconstruct' on both my mailbox and on
archive.info-cyrus (and in fact have totally removed and recreated
archive.info-cyrus), but I'm still getting these problems.
I've traced the message to the error message returned from dbm_store in
deliver.c, but before I delve further I thought that other people may have
a solution.
Thanks,
Stephen
