After further investigation, it seems that this "read error from localhost" previous
LMTP problem is the symptom of the "signaled to death by 11" problem, when using
Sendmail.
Jul 3 12:00:03 mill master[2789]: process 6359 exited, signaled to death by 11
Jul 3 12:00:07 mill master[2789]: process 6401 exited, signaled to death by 11
Jul 3 12:00:11 mill master[2789]: process 6409 exited, signaled to death by 11
Jul 3 12:00:15 mill master[2789]: process 6417 exited, signaled to death by 11
Jul 3 12:00:19 mill master[2789]: process 6425 exited, signaled to death by 11
Jul 3 12:00:23 mill master[2789]: process 6433 exited, signaled to death by 11
Jul 3 12:00:28 mill master[2789]: process 6441 exited, signaled to death by 11
Jul 3 12:01:02 mill master[2789]: process 6467 exited, signaled to death by 11
Jul 3 12:01:52 mill master[2789]: process 6466 exited, signaled to death by 11
Jul 3 12:06:32 mill master[2789]: process 6664 exited, signaled to death by 11
This happens when there is successive attempts to deliver mail, and it seems that this
is occurring no matter what method of delivery is used ( lmtp file, lmtp port 2003,
deliver ).
Sendmail just holds the message for next queue run, but even that wont work, since it
will try and deliver them one after another. I have turned off the connection cache,
but that does not affect it either.
The only way to deliver these mails (and some still fail) is to cron the following
line:
( for msg in `mailq | awk '/^f.*/{print $1}'` ; \
do echo $msg ; /usr/sbin/sendmail -v -qI${msg} ; \
sleep 5 ; done )
FYI..
I am using Redhat 7.1, Linux 2.2.19, Sendmail 8.11.4, Cyrus v2.0.14-NAMESPACE-r3
