Re: Qmail/MailMan - Crashing Children with no cause.

2001-07-02 Thread MarkD

Search the archives for preline and SIGPIPE. I think you'll find the
answer there.

 However if I pipe the mail message direct to the command itself without
 preline or qmail, I get a message just fine.
 
 the line in the .qmail- file reads:

 As much as I would like to say it's all mailmans fault, I can't figure why
 it would die via only qmail, and not the command line.

 Any ideas of things to try or how to debug would be very helpful and

I don't think that's the problem.. To quote Dan,

The next version of preline will work just like a pipe from the shell:
it will put the main command in the foreground, and it will die silently
if it receives SIGPIPE.

---Dan

I even to speculation, used the patch in the archives with still the same
result. *pullig heair out* why can appy's just get along?

Right. But that next version isn't out yet.  Your point is?

 I even to speculation, used the patch in the archives with still the same

You're being silly. You don't know the reason for your problem, yet
when someone offers a solution you dismiss it for no good reason and
without even trying it!

Sounds like you enjoy *pullig heair out* (sic).
