I've just moved my server from one box to another, and I upgraded from 3.2-RELEASE to 4.2-RELEASE in the meantime, along with relevant packages. But sendmail is breaking on me. First I screwed up my virtusertable.db file, and I was getting this error: "SYSERR(root): Cannot open hash database /etc/mail/virtusertable.db: Inappropriate file type or format'". So I rehashed that file and fixed that problem. In the meantime, my queue had been filling up with messages that sendmail wasn't delivering because it couldn't read virtusertable. Then I started getting "sendmail[1391]: f1MFFjk01391: SYSERR(root): savemail: can not save rejected email anywhere," followed by "sendmail[1413]: f1MFjjk01413: Losing ./qff1MFjjk01413: savemail panic." But I wasn't out of diskspace, so I can't figure out why it was dropping messages. Any thoughts? Anyway, I moved the queue files to a different directory, and it stopped breaking in that way. The only error left, and the one I need to fix, is this: "mail.local: setreuid(0, 1001): Operation not permitted (r=1, e=1)." That's what sendmail returns to anyone who tries to send me mail. It was showing up in the messages file for awhile, but not anymore. Please do help.
