NG) Organization: edf Lines: 47 We have just upgraded one of our 3500s from SR10.2.4 (with aegis, bsd and sysv) to 10.3. (with aegis, bsd and sysv). The 10.3 release note stated that all program compiled on 10.2 will work under 10.3 without recompilation. The standard sendmail program from HP was replaced by sendmail version 5.65+/1.34. This version has been and is still working happily with 10.2. The occasional lost of mail was due to /bin/mail as reported on the net. After the upgrade the sendmail-5.65+1.34 on SR10.3 will receive and deliver mail to user as before. But it will report lost of child process to the sender's sendmail program. See below for last 4 lines of the transcript. ...... ...... >>> DATA Enter mail, end with "." on a line by itself >>> . Ok >>> QUIT SMTP-MAIL: lost child: No child processes yman@fees...

Internal error ...... ..... I have recompiled sendmail-5.65 but the same error persisted. Is this a known problem or is there something wrong with the update? I am tempted to install 10.3 from scratch. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
