Re: sendmail using CPU
(remebered it from an old posting of yours) which I think is a server /var file system getting full.
you mentioned "empty mail" has dropped down the /var file system to 85%
http://forums11.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=1405070
Other area to check is /var/mail/
This is the area that stores mail that has been delivered to a user acct. In this example, check the /var/mail/root file.
(As per my Experinece "the main problem I have encountered and relay proplem of Sendmail server)
deferred transmission due to transient address error
or something like that, it basically means the address you are trying to send mail to is currently not accepting email messages for some reason. More than likely, the subscriber has left the post he/she subscibed this email list
Or another scenario, there were so many documents to send to so many addresses, server is having hard time delivering these to the recipient servers
which one is your case. If it is the load problem, just wait over the weekend, it will subside tremendously by monday having majority of the messages delivered.

Re: sendmail using CPU
The rmail process is also running:
$ ps -ef|grep rmail
daemon 29997 3279 4 17:22:51 ? 0:00 rmail -d root
daemon 29995 24432 10 17:22:51 ? 0:00 rmail -d root
daemon 29974 18965 14 17:22:50 ? 0:00 rmail -d root
SN95599 29999 26577 1 17:22:51 pts/5 0:00 grep rmail
$
This rmail processes are running for every 5 seconds and it runs just a second.
May i know why it is running and what is rmail & what it does?
Thanks!

Re: sendmail using CPU
mail: cannot create dead.letter
I believe your /var filesystem is full.
You should make some space there.

Re: sendmail using CPU
You are correct, the root account has stucked on Dec 29th due to that the mails are not delivering and sending an I/O error. The root account has been used up my entire /var filesystem.
Thank you!
