Sendmail problem
I replaced sendmail.cf (made a abckup first) with main.cf and stopped and then stopped and started sendmail. I am still getting the following:
ibasdb02:/ # May 21 14:06:23 ibasdb02 sendmail[1094]: [ID 801593 mail.alert] l4L
I6Np3001094: Losing ./qfl4LI6Np3001094: savemail panic

and this message in my log:
May 21 14:06:23 ibasdb02 sendmail[1094]: [ID 801593 mail.crit] l4LI6Np3001094: S
YSERR(root): savemail: cannot save rejected email anywhere

Disk space is not a problem.

Any ideas?

Check your postmaster alias - make sure it's going to a valid location.

Fixed
The trick was to replace submit.cf, subsidiary.cf, and sendmail.cf with their defaults. Main.cf was used to replace sendmail.cf. Apparently, those files were editied before we got the machine. After I did this and stopped and started the e-mail, all is OK.

Thanks for the suggestions.
