Subject: mail server crashing with RPC error 12 ENOMEM
Date: Fri, 06 Oct 2006 17:08:33 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4526E1F1.502@nmt.edu> (raw)
Hey all -
We've got a mail server running RHEL AS 3 update 2, postfix, amavisd,
imap, spamassassin, squirrelmail.
Mail is delivered to local spool. Users home directories are
auto-mounted from nfs and each user has got their .procmailrc. The local
copy of procmail on the mail server processes these rcs. We've got a
couple thousand users.
This was working great for two months until a week and a half ago. Since
then, every day the server freezes up. We go the console and see 'RPC:
sendmsg returned error 12' messages scrolling by. The computer is
unresponsive and the only thing we can do is a hard reboot.
We're stumped as to what's causing this. It appears error 12 is an
ENOMEM (out of memory). So it seems something is trying to allocate
memory and not getting it. But we don't know why or what. There's no log
messages telling us anything useful.
Anyone got any ideas??
