Help!  I don't know what's going on here.  Recently, sendmail has been
bouncing much mail with "Mailer smail died with signal x", where x is
either 212 or 12.  Unfortunately, it also sends the message to the
recipient, and bounces to the sender, every time the queue is run.  The
only way I have found to fix it is to su to root and run the queue
manually (/usr/lib/sendmail -q).  If I run the queue manually as myself,
smail dies as usual.

Nothing on the system has changed, as far as I know.  My smail sccsid is
@(#)main.c	2.5 (smail) 9/15/87.  My Sendmail is apparently v5.51.
We're a binary-only site, running HCX/UX v3.0.

Any help would be appreciated; people are starting to shy away from
sending mail.

  Bill
