Giant sendmail log!
Hi,
I have an usrgent problem I need to attend to, but I dont really know whats happening. Ill get to the point.
My sendmail logs are filling up rather quickly, I only checked them today, but one log was over 500Mb! Its full of this:
Nov 4 19:24:48 smail03 sm-msp-queue[6466]: iA35A3Z3006875: to=postmaster, delay=1+03:28:21, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=2553201, relay=[127.0.0.1], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Connection refused by [127.0.0.1]
Whats happening??
I have to admit I dont know alot about sendmail, it jsut seemed to work for me :)

The sendmail config was only listening on the eth0 address, so admin messages were building up in the queue. There were over 26000 of them!! Deleteing them was a bit of a slow task, but its done.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
