What does the message "stat=Deferred: Bad file number" in the syslog file mean? Sometimes my mail messages get stuck in the mail queue and this line appears in /var/spool/mailq/syslog. Most of the times, the messge gets sent after a few tries but sometimes it is stuck for several days (the record is a month, I think). Needless to say, this is *extremely* inconvenient... Today, *all* my outgoing mail is stuck in this fashion. Is there anything one can do about it? Our system is a bunch of DECstation 3100's connected to a 3100 file server.
