THANK YOU< THANK YOU and THANK YOU!!! I have been battling with sending mail non-stop for the last 2 days. It happened right after I cvsup'd the latest Stable branch and ran mergemaster. What I didn't know and couldn't find was the changes that needed to be made to /etc/make.conf and /etc/rc.conf. I've been following this thread hoping it would shed some light on my delimma. I had tried entering some earlier settings that I saw in this thread to no avail. Turns out, I had sendmail_submit_enable="YES" set to "NO". If it helps anyone who is just running a regular box and not a server, here are the settings I'm using with 4.6.2-RELEASE /etc/make.conf sendmail_outbound_enable= "YES" # Dequeue stuck mail (YES/NO). sendmail_outbound_flags= "-L sm-queue -q30m" # Flags to sendmail (outbound only) sendmail_msp_queue_enable= "YES" # Dequeue stuck clientmqueue mail (YES/NO). sendmail_msp_queue_flags= "-L sm-msp-queue -Ac -q30m" # Flags for sendmail_msp_queue daemon. and /etc/rc.conf # Settings for /etc/rc.sendmail: sendmail_enable="NO" # Run the sendmail inbound daemon (YES/NO/NONE). # If NONE, don't start any sendmail processes. sendmail_flags="-L sm-mta -bd -q30m" # Flags to sendmail (as a server) sendmail_submit_enable="YES" # Start a localhost-only MTA for mail submission sendmail_submit_flags="-L sm-mta -bd -q30m -ODaemonPortOptions=Addr=localhost" # Flags for localhost-only MTA sendmail_outbound_enable="YES" # Dequeue stuck mail (YES/NO). sendmail_outbound_flags="-L sm-queue -q30m" # Flags to sendmail (outbound only) sendmail_msp_queue_enable="YES" # Dequeue stuck clientmqueue mail (YES/NO). sendmail_msp_queue_flags="-L sm-msp-queue -Ac -q30m" # Flags for sendmail_msp_queue daemon. Hope this helps someone out there fighting with this. Thanks so very much, Matthew. Regards Mark PS - I tried enabling "softupdates" according to http://bsdvault.net/sections.php?op=viewarticle&artid=54 After following the instructions of tunefs -n enable /usr I got softupdates enabled but when I do # tunefs -p /dev/ad0s1a I get - tunefs: soft updates: (-n) disabled also if I do #sysctl -w kern.ipc.maxsockets=16424 I get sysctl: oid 'kern.ipc.maxsockets' is read only. Can anyone shed some light on why this changed?
