I suspect it's going into a loop. Normally amavis will process the message and in the second stage resend it to the local server for normal delivery with the original, non-amavis .cf using sendmail's -C flag. This sounds like the second instance of sendmail is running with the wrong .cf and sending the message back to its amavis-enabled self instead of a sendmail instance that would deliver. Given that it's on localhost, that would present you with a zillion processes within a minute. hth -ac -- ============================================================== Alex Charalabidis (AC8139) 5050 Poplar Ave, Ste 170 System Administrator Memphis, TN 38157 WebNet Memphis (901) 432 6000 Author, The Book of IRC http://www.bookofirc.com/ ============================================================== To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
