Hi *, after testing various configurations of qmail (different conf-splits, with/without patches), I moved the queue-dir to a partition, which resides on two disks - in fact RAID1+0 via SDS. And the errors went away. Furthermore, I learned, that sending via qmail-inject doesn't have these problems, either. Again the question: can anybody see this on his/her Solaris7/qmail system? I can reproduce it on two Solaris boxes by using smtpstone as a test. By Töns -- Linux. The dot in /.
