Has anyony paid some attention to sendmail 8.9.0's claim to have found a bug
in the linux kernel? I quote a part of
ftp://ftp.sendmail.org/pub/sendmail/KNOWNBUGS :
* accept() problem on Linux.
Apparently, the accept() in sendmail daemon loop can return ETIMEDOUT
and cause sendmail to sleep for 5 seconds during which time no new
connections will be accepted. An error is reported to syslog:
Jun 9 17:14:12 hostname sendmail[207]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root):
getrequests: accept: Connection timed out
"Connection timed out" is not documented as a valid return from
accept(2) and this is believed to be a bug in the Linux kernel.
Just wondering..
