every once in a while i will notice that the internet delivery queue will start to build up, and i fix it by restarting sendmail:

Code: Select all

/etc/init.d/sendmail restart


also, the maillog had completely filled my /var partition with this:

Code: Select all

Apr 28 16:04:00 host sendmail[818]: STARTTLS: read error=generic SSL error (0)
Apr 28 16:04:00 host sendmail[19426]: STARTTLS: read error=generic SSL error (0)
Apr 28 16:04:00 host sendmail[25080]: STARTTLS: read error=generic SSL error (0)
Apr 28 16:04:00 host sendmail[818]: STARTTLS: read error=generic SSL error (0)
Apr 28 16:04:00 host sendmail[19426]: STARTTLS: read error=generic SSL error (0)
Apr 28 16:04:00 host sendmail[25080]: STARTTLS: read error=generic SSL error (0)


any ideas of what's going on and how to fix this? thanks!
