[comp.mail.sendmail] sendmail multiple delivery problem

jmrm@eng.cam.ac.uk (James Matheson) (09/17/90)

We having problems with multiple delivery of messages by sendmail 5.64 with
IDA 1.3.1 plus HP fixes on an HP900/835. We do not get these problems on
either our Sun machines or on an HP9000/370 but the usage on these is less.
My suspicion is that the problem is caused by the spool files not being
locked properly with the result that two instances of sendmail attempt
delivery but I cannot see any obvious problems with the code.

Has anyone experienced similar problems?

Is anyone running this version of sendmail on an HP9000/8?? running HPUX 7
without problems?
