[comp.unix.msdos] receive mail in Interactive Unix

lba@kolvi.hut.fi (Laszlo C Balint) (11/16/90)

We have here an Interactive Unix running on Nokia 386 PC. It is fine in almost
all cases (there might be some installation problems, but I am not the sysop).
Our great problem with it is, that the incoming mail is sometimes get stucked,
the message on the screen is something like 'receive mail: noqueue ...' (?) 
and the sendmail is sending an error message to the Univ. postmaster in about 
every 5 minutes. If this happens, no mail is received from the outside world, 
they are waiting at the postmaster until a reboot. The inside mail is OK.

Any pointers to the possible reasons?

Thanks,

Laszlo
