sendmail panic - savemail: cannot save rejected email anywhere
Lydia Rowe
I'm encountering this most curious error on a fairly new FreeBSD 8
machine and I'm just not sure where to go with this.
The Error:
Jan 6 12:56:31 sendmail[1600]: p06HuRGB001600:
Losing ./qfp06HuRGB001600: savemail panic
Jan 6 12:56:31 sendmail[1600]: p06HuRGB001600: SYSERR(root): savemail:
cannot save rejected email anywhere
uname -a:
FreeBSD .root 8.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE #0: Sat Nov 21 15:48:17
UTC 2009

Unless my understanding of mathematics is way off, I've got more than
enough room:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/ad0s1a 496M 180M 277M 39% /
devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /dev
/dev/ad0s1e 496M 14K 456M 0% /tmp
/dev/ad0s1f 24G 5.7G 17G 26% /usr
/dev/ad0s1d 1.3G 18M 1.2G 1% /var
Any insight on what is happening/causing this would be beyond
awesome. :).

"savemail panics" occur when sendmail is unable to deliver a bounced
message to the postmaster alias.

When I've had that err message I check my /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
is up to newest release to match the .mc & binaries from source,
then check all path in the .cf exist, & check access permissions.
Then the problem goes away.
Cheers,
Julian

Ah, thank you. That helped. In case these archives help someone in the
future, here's what hapened: Armed with this information, I took another
run at the logs and there was a problem with the hostname, which was:
.root
Yeah, so I updated the hostname and savemail isn't panicking anymore and
neither am I. :).
Thanks, all!
