sendmail error

Thanks goes to William Moore :). Turns out there was a message stuck in

the queue and sure enough there was an error in the "To:" field.

Thanks!

The QAA number refers to an item in the queue that sendmail is having

trouble with. You ming want to loog in /var/spool/maqueue for two or

perhaps three files:

qfQAA13047

dfQAA13047

and possibly a xfQAA13047

the qf* file hostds the mesage headders and reason this file is in the queue

the df* file holds the actual message, and xf* file is it exist hosds

information about why sendmail was unable to process it.

you might also want to issue a "mailq" command or "/usr/lib/sendmail -bp"

and look for the messages corresponding to QAA13047

The simpelest thing might be to simply erase the message if is unimportant:

#rm /var/spool/mqueue/*QAA13047

Hope this helps.

Subject: sendmail error

I'm getting the following errors on one of our workstations:

sendmail[428]: QAA13047: SYSERR(root): name buffer overflow

I've rebooted the machine a couple of times and checked that the

filesystem isn't full (plenty of space) and the problem persists.

I've searched all the usual databases for help and have found none. Does

anyone have any input?

Thanks,

Linda
