Operating Systems Solaris Sendmail is eating high memory Post 302138356 by sysgate on Monday 1st of October 2007 08:23:17 AM
Old 10-01-2007
There are many things to search for first - how many users you have using the sendmail system at the same time, do you have any kind of control like scanners, virus checks, i.e. you need to know what's happening on this mail server. Are there any limitations like : max file size for send/receive, etc. Did you try to restart the sendmail or looking at the logs for errors ? What OS is that and which Sendmail version ?
