Could you send the following extra info to the list just so that people can help:

also what is the OS and what is the perl
Fedora Core 1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# uname -a Linux meow.srar.com 2.4.22-1.2149.nptlsmp SMP i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# perl -v This is perl, v5.8.1 built for i386-linux-thread-multi
At this point, it is back to working. I shutdown sendmail and let it sit for a couple minutes (after Googling and finding a relevant entry in the comp.mail.sendmail archives) and when sendmail restarted it magically started working again.
Now, the only question is, "Why did it fall down in the first place?".

Hi All,
I came back from lunch today to hear people saying they can't send mail. Looking in the /var/log/maillog, I see two Bad Things(tm)
#1:
Jan 26 13:42:12 meow sendmail[8791]: i0QLgCFl008791: Milter (mimedefang): local socket name /var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.sock unsafe
In the archives, I see that the generic response is "make sure /var & /var/spool are owned by root and not group/world writable. Already been there and checked that.
#2: (which I find no reference to in the Archives): Milter (mimedefang): write(Q) returned -1, expected 5: Broken pipe
Mimedefang.sock does not exist, I assume because mimedefang isn't really running. I further assume that is the reason for #2.
MimeDefang is 2.39. Sendmail is 8.12.11. SA is 2.63. I'm using Sophos for antivirus.
I'm now going to recompile sendmail.cf from an .mc file with no milter line, just so I can get mail flowing again. This system has been up for a week, working flawlessly. It just replaced a system that was in use for over one year, and in the end was MD 2.37/SM 8.12.10/SA 2.60/Sophos.
Any help most certainly be appreciated.
