NOQUEUE sendmail messages

[Debbie Fleith]

All of a sudden our HP-11.i server is getting 2 different NOQUEUE sendmail errors in its mail.log. Anyone know what these mean?

1. Jun 21 01:02:37 brxmms sendmail[28214]: NOQUEUE: Null connection from [10.1.2.15
5]
2 Jun 21 01:02:41 brxmms sendmail[28216]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR: putoutmsg ([10.1.2.155]
): error on output channel sending "220 brxmms.buffalorock.COM ESMTP Sendmail 8.
9.3 (PHNE_25184)/8.8.6; Mon, 21 Jun 2004 01:02:41 -0500 (CDT)": Broken pipe

[Steven E. Protter]

Couple possible causes.

A spam filter at the other end could be cutting your server off during mta transmission. Hence the broken pipe situation.

There could be a problem with inadequate space on your server to get the mail out.

bdf

Is /var nearly full? Make it less full or expand it.

mailq

See if there is mail backed up.

sendmail -v -q

Try and push the mail in the queue out.

sendmail -v -d8.99 -d38.99 someone@some.net
type some text

.


Better diagnostics.

My mailq is empty and /var is only 25% full with 3GB available.
