Lately I've been getting a few of these strange messages in my syslogs
complaining (I assume) about tildes in queue file names. (I only happened
to catch this one because I was logged in at the time and was notified
by the syslog daemon.) It appears that mail is getting dropped on
the floor when this happens.
Oct 31 09:49:42 acornrc sendmail[28605]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR: queuename:
Cannot create "qf~Z28605" in "/usr/spool/mqueue": No such file or directory
Oct 27 06:32:05 acornrc sendmail[4254]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR: queuename:
Cannot create "qf~Z04254" in "/usr/spool/mqueue": No such file or directory
Oct 25 05:59:53 acornrc sendmail[19985]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR: queuename:
Cannot create "qf~Z19985" in "/usr/spool/mqueue": No such file or directory
/usr/spool/mqueue exists:
drwxrwxr-x 2 root wheel 2560 Oct 31 09:49 /usr/spool/mqueue
Has anyone seen this before? What's going on? Is there a problem
because of the tildes? Is this a permission problem? If so, why does
sendmail work fine > 99% of the time? Any advice cheerfully accepted.
Thanks,
