0.1.3a with sendmail 8.12.9, stock redhat 7.3 install with the 2.4.18-27.7.xsmp redhat rpm kernel (dual P3 2.4, 2.5GB RAM)

unforetunately the milter doesn't crash - it seems to go into a hanging state, and still shows up in ps. so, no dumps to analyze. in the meantime i've upgraded glibc and compilers to redhat8 versions, changed F=T to F= in the cf and canned the idea of doing body replacements (for now, at least).

problems mostly gone, but only after i also recompiled sendmail with the new compiler. still gives around 30-50 error msgs daily (maillog: `milter to error state`) on a box that handles around 600-800 msgs per day, but it recovers and goes on working after the error. usually accompanied by `write(A) returned -1, expected 5: Broken pipe`.

wish i knew more about C++. i use several milters, also for virus checking, but all in C, all rock solid. this one has the simplest code - by far - but its got me scratching my head. not giving up though, managed to get one of our C++ guys to have a look at it. we don't do a lot of C++ on Linux, mostly db related stuff on win and AIX, but i'll post if anything interesting comes up.

Regards
Pieter

Pieter: "timeout before data read" means that the milter is
no longer listening on the socket.  It may have crashed.
What are the versions of your OS, sendmail, and milter?  If
it has crashed, do you have a coredump?

having the same over here - and lots of it.
looks like its exceding the internal sendmail timeout specified in the milter definition:
F=, T=C:15m;S:4m;R:4m;E:10m
sendmail op.ps says:
S: Timeout for sending information from the MTA to a filter.
will stretching it to something like S:20m help, or will it break something else?
anyone know what the relation is bewteen this setting and sendmails Timeout.datablock, which defaults to 1hour? i'm leaning heavily towards also fixing this to something more sane (albeit not rfc2821 compliant)

regards
Pieter

hi everybody

i hope you can help me. after some time i get this in
my maillog and
sendmail stop's acceppting or sendind email. the only
solution i found is
restarting spamd - but this doesn't help all the time.

Nov 13 04:33:33 idefix sendmail[10093]:
gAD3TXHI010093: Milter

my system is a quad xeon server with 1 gig of ram,
installed sendmail 8.12.6
and SpamAssassin-2.43.

i configure spamassassin normally:
./configure
make
make install

and included the stuff to sendmail via:
INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`spamassassin',
`S=local:/var/run/spammilter/spamass.sock,
F=, T=C:15m;S:4m;R:4m;E:10m')

then started spamd with:
rm /var/run/spammilter/spamass.sock
/usr/local/sbin/spamassmilter -
p /var/run/spammilter/spamass.sock -f
/usr/bin/spamd -d -a -q -x

and looked into sendmail log:

-> well, it works.

and it worked for about 1 day, then the strange error
began:
sendmail didn't accepted any mail (in and outbound),
even local delivery
didn't workd (could not connect..)

does anyone has an idea what happend? what went wrong?
it's urgent, because
it's an running system...

greetings

steven
