What does the message
"stat=Deferred: Bad file number" in the syslog file mean?
Sometimes my mail messages get stuck in the mail queue and this line appears
in /var/spool/mailq/syslog. Most of the times, the messge gets sent after a
few tries but sometimes it is stuck for several days (the record is a month,
I think). Needless to say, this is *extremely* inconvenient...
Today, *all* my outgoing mail is stuck in this fashion. Is there
anything one can do about it? Our system is a bunch of DECstation 3100's
connected to a 3100 file server.
