The problem appears when mail11v3 issues the HEAD command in order to inspect a To: field in a message and that message has a very long To: field (in this case 1447 characters). Mail11v3 dies with a segmentation fault. We are running DECnet-Ultrix RISC 3.0 Following is a part of the syslog file (edited): Mar 14 15:39:22 localhost: 23962 mail11v3: From: YYYYYYY FullName: "", DestNode: ZZZZZZ Mar 14 15:39:22 localhost: 23962 mail11v3: <<< HELO dxmint.cern.ch Mar 14 15:39:22 localhost: 23962 mail11v3: <<< MULT Mar 14 15:39:22 localhost: 23962 mail11v3: <<< HEAD Mar 14 15:39:23 localhost: 23962 mail11v3: Header - From: YYYYYYYY Mar 14 15:39:23 localhost: Mar 14 15:39:23 localhost: 23962 mail11v3: Signal "Segmentation fault", faulting VA 0x40, pc is 0x411420 Mar 14 15:39:23 localhost: 23957 sendmail: <HHHHHHHHHHHHHH>... reply: read error Mar 14 15:39:23 localhost: 23957 sendmail: AA23955: SYSERR: mailer mail11 died with signal 213 Mar 14 15:39:23 localhost: 23957 sendmail: AA23955: SYSERR: smtpquit mail11: stat 75 As you can see from the syslog we are running with mail11.Trace, mail11.Debug and mail11.Verbose. My theory is that the internal buffers in mail11v3 are too small. If this is correct how do I get a version with larger buffers ? -- Jens Trier Rasmussen CERN-CN/CS CH-1211 Geneva 23 Switzerland e-mail: jenst@cernvax.cern.ch phone: +41227673356
