Yesterday the message "warning: trouble marking local/xx/xxxxxx; message will be delivered twice!" appeared in my log over 1000 times! This was followed by over 1000 "unable to unlink local/xx/xxxxxx" and 135,000 "trouble opening local/xx/xxxxxx" messages! This is a daily occurrence for which I cannot determine the cause. It appears that qmail is marking and unlinking these files and doesn't know it. The partition is only at 40% use, so disk space shouldn't be an issue, and the messages do appear to be getting to their destinations (sometimes more than once), but qmail is trying to hold on to them. We get about 100,000 emails a day, so it looks like this problem is showing up about 1% of the time. Shutting down qmail, queue-fix'ing or manually deleting incomplete messages, and starting up again remains quiet only for a few minutes before the cycle kicks in again. >From this end it looks like a bug in qmail...please tell me there's something I can fix locally. Thanks. Oh yeah...running on a Sun E250 Solaris 2.7, 2 CPUs, 1 gig of RAM. ---------------------------------- Nathan Clegg [EMAIL PROTECTED]
