Running FreeBSD port of smail : 3.1.29.1. Every few minutes the following happens:- : : (from syslog) mail /kernel: pid 8769: smail: uid 19218: exited on signal 11 : : obviously this generates a core file in the process. : : We've tried swapping the RAM, then the entire machine except hard drive. No : joy. : : We've previously run smail on SCO without this problem. Is anyone else getting : this or have any ideas? I have the same problem. At the moment, I'm working around it by running smtpd from inetd. Not terribly efficient but at least I don't get any complaints about my mail server being down. (BTW, FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE)
