    Hi guys,

    It seems that sendmail is not working on my system.
    say if i locally try and "mail" a valid user, they never get the mail..

    In the console I see the following error re-occuring each time a mail is
    sent

    6TFAHUB006085: SYSERR(user): fill_fd: recipient end of deliver(relay)
    fd_1 not open: Bad file descriptor

    I also notice that root seems to get dozens of "mailer daemon delivery
    failure"
    messages.

    I havent touched any of sendmails configuration since installing OpenBSD..
    Any ideas?
    I thought maybe PF was breaking it.. But I have tried totally disabling PF
    and its the same.

    Am I missing something in rc.conf?
    I seem to recall on FreeBSD if sendmail_enable="NO", I'd get similar
    behaviour to this.
    if i do a "ps -U root", sendmail is in the process list with (accepting
    incoming connections) written
    next to it. In rc.conf on OpenBSD i see none of this. not even a
    /etc/defaults/rc.conf, obviously
    there are some differences between the bsd's.. So i am stuck..

    anyone know why my sendmail might not be behaving?

    Regards,
    Alex.
