why?

[Comment 1 Robin Johnson 2006-02-21 04:21:10 UTC]

Your system is misconfigured.
What does 'hostname' return?

See the install guide, and ensure that your domainname and hostname are configured.

[Comment 2 Eero Volotinen 2006-02-21 04:42:26 UTC]

well. I don't think that is the issue but:

http://www.mail-archive.com/[e-mail]/msg02446.html

Looks like there is memory issues with amd64 and tcpserver

[Comment 3 Eero Volotinen 2006-02-21 04:50:37 UTC]

solution: set softlimit to 32 megabytes, looks like this is issue on amd64?

[Comment 4 Michael Hanselmann (hansmi) (RETIRED) 2006-02-27 11:31:24 UTC]

Can someone from the amd64 herd please comment on this issue?

[Comment 5 Michael Hanselmann (hansmi) (RETIRED) 2006-03-12 10:36:25 UTC]

Anyone?

[Comment 6 Michael Hanselmann (hansmi) (RETIRED) 2006-08-22 14:34:43 UTC]

No response.

[Comment 7 Simon Stelling (RETIRED) 2006-08-23 01:28:23 UTC]

reopen

[Comment 8 Robin Johnson 2006-11-15 01:00:57 UTC]

amd64: is this bug still present?
if not, please close.

[Comment 9 Paul Sumner 2006-12-16 14:02:42 UTC]

I have 2 amd64 qmail servers and I have found that I needed to set the softlimit up on both.

mailadm@mail ~ $ grep SOFT /var/qmail/control/conf-common
SOFTLIMIT_OPTS="-m 33554432"

Perhaps a amd64 patch is in order...

mail-mta/qmail removed from the tree; if you have issues w/ netqmail, file a new bug please.
