[ale] sendmail dying

[Jay Finch]

Hrm... I've been having weird POP errors (inetd[60]: pop3/tcp server 
failing (looping), service terminated) in my /var/log/messages file 
(Slackware dist), but nothing weird with my Sendmail...  (Unless they're 
related, which I don't think they are)

hrm... Are you running 8.9.3 with the latest security patches compiled 
in?  If not, you might want to upgrade.

Cheers!
Jay
