I had been successfully using Sendmail5.65b+IDA-1.4.3 for a couple of months
with no noticble problems untill last Tues.  I suddenly started getting
errors like:

NOQUEUE: SYSERR:  getrequests: accept: I/O error

in syslog, shortly thereafter, the smtp daemon listening on port 25 would
disappear.  Outgoing mail was still working and the queue was being run as
scheduled.  Remotes attempting to connect to the smtp port are refused.
To keep incoming mail flowing, I've had to kill the daemon and
restart sendmail several times a day :-(  Right now I'm totally frustrated!
I don't think anything has changed on my system.  COuld what I'm seeing be
caused by problems with the Milnet-INternet routers?

Better post your replies, incoming mail isn't very reliable :-(
