Sendmail not submitting Email on '.'
I have several HP/UX nodes running Sendmail 8.13 ...some work fine, some don't.
When an Email is coming in, the 'DATA' command never ends. The other side of the connection gets to the point where it enters the '.' on a line by itself, but sendmail doesn't accept it...if fact it keeps on holding the connection open like its expecting more data. Eventually the message times out and the system closes the connection. Of course, the big problem is that the other side thinks its successfully sent the message, when in fact the system aborted the message.
I've tried other characters, control characters...nothing seems to close the message for delivery.
When I compare the /etc/mail/sendmail.cf files from those nodes that do work and those nodes that don't, they are identical! ...so I'm guessing it has to be something else.
Anyone every run into this issue?? its a real head scratcher for us.
Thanks for your Help!
