I found something.
The script does a -HUP on sendmail, so here is what I see in maillog is:
Why does it do so?
Because the script's purpose is to sync sendmail configs among many mail servers.
Jul 26 10:00:02 server sendmail[19016]: restarting /usr/sbin/sendmail due to signal Jul 26 10:00:02 server sendmail[19018]: restarting /usr/sbin/sendmail due to signal Jul 26 10:00:02 server sm-msp-queue[19032]: restarting /usr/sbin/sendmail due to signal Jul 26 10:00:02 server sendmail[25475]: k6QE01aW025475: from=root, size=0, class=0, nrcpts=0, relay=root@localhost
That is not really a mail: it has zero size and zero recipient. Could be a script that probes whether the MTA is alife.
Ok.
Jul 26 10:00:02 server sendmail[25579]: starting daemon (8.13.7): queueing@00:15:00 Jul 26 10:00:02 server sendmail[25581]: starting daemon (8.13.7): SMTP
It looks like sendmail may not be ready yet...
Sendmail restarts as to what the log says.
Any ideas?
`mailq -Ac -v' has content? Then there is a problem with mail submission, as cron directly injects the mail.
/var/spool/clientmqueue is empty Total requests: 0
Any ideas how I could make my script so that I can submit the mail without problem even if I do a killall -HUP sendmail during the script?
