I am running FreeBSD 2.1.6 on a Pentium100MHz w/ 32 Megs RAM. Sendmail will
run for two or three weeks usually and then will suddenly refuse to accept any
mail. The ps -axj command shows sendmail is still running but has the
"refusing connections" message next to it. There was some other part of the
message that seemed to indicate that some maximum number of something had been
reached.
This machine's main job is email so are there some parameters in sendmail.cf
that I can change to increase system resources allocated to sendmail?
What is the
# open connection cache size
O ConnectionCacheSize=2
entry referring to? (2 seems rather small).
thanks in advance,
