Save mail panic

807574Oct 15 2009 — edited Feb 10 2020
Hi All, I've been troubleshooting this sendmail panic I'm getting in /var/adm/messages file on my backend servers. The errors are:

Oct 10 09:44:17 fakeserver_name sendmail[884]: [ID 801593 mail.alert] l1G1hGuD000884: Losing ./qfl1G1hGuD000884: savemail panic
Oct 10 09:44:17 fakeserver_name sendmail[884]: [ID 801593 mail.crit] l1G1hGuD000884: SYSERR(root): savemail: cannot save rejected email anywhere

I've done and check the following.

-the entries in alias file are:

nobody: /dev/null
bin: root
daemon: root
system: root
toor: root
uucp: root
manager: root
dumper: root
operator: root
MAILER-DAEMON: postmaster
postmaster: root

-/var/spool/mqueue seems is empty. (always been empty)
-did a sendmail -bv to all these entries.

uname is
root@fakeserver_name # uname -a
SunOS fakeserver_name 5.10 Generic_118833-24 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V490

The entries in MTA alias file:
root@abc.com : postmast
root@xyz.abc.com: postmast
postmaster@xyz.abc.com: postmast

Please help me in resolving out this issue....

Regards,
Sanjeev
