what does your /var/spool look like. Is the partition full? Does it even exist?

/var/spool looks O.K, it exist and it is not full.

Have you changed some file system permissions or the sendmail runas user?

Try sending a message with the following command:

sendmail -v -d8 -d38 someone@some.net

This was causing that error:

* ^Subject:.*msgs
{
:O B
*.drive
| formail -I "Subject: $SUBJECT $SUBJECT_TAG"
}

:0
* < 256000
* ^Subject:.*msgs
{
SUBJECT=`formail -zx Subject:`
:0 ABfhw
* !^X-Loop: abc@acme.com
* (hda|Drive)
| (formail -I "Subject: DiskError $SUBJECT" -A "X-Loop: abc@acme.com";)
{
:0Bc
* (hda|Drive)
! ha@acme.com,yo@acme.com
}

}

Any idea why, it exit with EX_TEMPFAIL and sendmail exit on code 11.

Basically it rewrites the subject line base on the content of the email and redistribute it to me and others in my group.

Thanks.

The EX_TEMPFAIL exit code is returned by sendmail to indicate that a temporary error has occurred. Temporary errors mean that the mail message will be put in (or remain in) the queue for the present, and another delivery attempt will be made later.
What does this mean 'Basically it rewrites the subject line base on the content of the email and redistribute it to me and others in my group' can u explain ?

Bejoy, the procmail code rewrites the subject line and forward the email to respected recipients. The error occurs because of this code. If I take it out, sendmail is happy. Any idea why? Thanks.

I dont have much idea in procmail . Where this code is added ? If there is a way to debug this script execution try doing it.

Try running a file through procmail from
the command line. Check the man page and
increase the debugging level. You should
get an indication of what is failing.

Could be:
- sendmail won't take the message back.
- sendmail can't write the temporary file.
- procmail script is failing (when was it
last changed?
- quota is exceeded somewhere.
