[ilugd] Sendmail spawning lots of processes and bringing downmachine
Hi everyone, Is there any way to limit the number of processes sendmail spawns? On a Linux server I am administering, sendmail spawns upto 1500 processes. How can I stop this? Also is there any way to discard messages with more than a set number of recipients in the mail? In this particullar server some idiot is trying to send mails with 3200+ recipients and that tends to bring down my server :( This fellow is going to get a good piece of my mind next time he complains about bad services. I know that with qmail this is quite easy to do, but I could not figure out anything about sendmail.

Re: [ilugd] For Amber Roy
Firstly, it is a very bad practice to always work in root! it is alright if you temporarily become root through the su command. What seems to be wrong here is that the axis installation is a copy from the machine of the person who wrote the installer where the owner had uid 1005 and group 513. So, check your /etc/passwd if there is such an id and group. Then, prob you should create a user axis with uid 1005 and group axis with id 513. you can use redhat-config-users if you are on RH. I dont know anything about axis so the above heuristics are only general.
