Sendmail queues are automatically generating.

Sendmail queues are automatically generating.

In one of the system, "Sendmail" processes are generating 5 to 6 queues automatically.

I several time killed those queues but they regenerate.

# ps -eaf | grep sendmail
root 25461 29516 240 02:58:52 ? 26:56 sendmail: ./l2374CE25060: from queue
root 9713 29516 238 03:59:02 ? 5:27 sendmail: ./l24ILlg09626: from queue
root 17490 29516 242 03:28:57 ? 15:08 sendmail: ./l241NTS11706: from queue
root 29516 1 0 Feb 26 ? 28:40 sendmail: accepting connections
root 1999 29516 9 04:29:07 ? 0:03 sendmail: running queue: /var/spool/mqueue
root 4580 22872 0 04:32:19 pts/4 0:00 grep sendmail
root 11772 29516 142 01:58:42 ? 44:35 sendmail: ./l222os512691: from queue
root 3706 29516 241 02:28:47 ? 34:15 sendmail: ./l22FAXp10148: from queue


Please post the solutions to this.

Thanks In Advance

Re: Sendmail queues are automatically generating.

Adding to that when I cheked into sendmail.cf , I found a line commented is this in some way responsible for the problem.

# how many jobs can you process in the queue?
#O MaxQueueRunSize=10000
