sendmail panic

Eugene_3 — Fri, 22 Jun 2001 15:25:40 GMT

Here is the message from sendmail:

11:48:26 monitor sendmail[13781]: LAA13781: Losing qfLAA13781: savemail panic
Jun 22 11:48:26 monitor sendmail[13781]: LAA13781: SYSERR(root): savemail: cannot save rejected email anywhere

Disk space doesn't seem to be a problem:

What is happening and how to cure it?

Thanks,

Eugene,

see the following link in the TKB:
http://us-support.external.hp.com/cki/bin/doc.pl/sid=7333243c176c963cde/screen=ckiDisplayDocument?docId=200000052465153

To paraphrase:
The errors occur because the /var/mail/user_name files do not have the correct permissions.

To resolve the errors:

1. Set the permissions to 660 for the user_name files.
2. Ensure that the user_name files are owned by user_name:mail.

For example:

-rw-rw---- 1 robert mail 1226 Mar 20 2000 robert
-rw-rw---- 1 root mail 20418 Oct 3 01:01 root
