Sam, what's going on here? Can you shed any light on this?

This makes half a dozen of us who have run into this problem, with no clues whatsoever.

Hi all,

One of my web hosting clients has a CGI which dispatches mail by invoking sendmail. It appears that half the time this is failing silently, simply dumping the above message into the server error log, with no mail being sent.

Oddly, the occurence is random and periodic. On each of several occasions lately following a complaint from my client, I have dutifully submitted the CGI, hoping it would fail, and it works fine.

Ironically, I was just wondering the same thing, although for a very different problem. I still get the sendmail error, but I also get a return code of 67. I have a program which mails me the diffs and other information from CVS commits. I did a huge CVS commit a few minutes ago, and I got 2-3 of the error messages. *Nothing* in the error logs whatsoever.

Can't send mail: sendmail process failed with error code 67

The mail command is very simple:

mail -s "Some CVS stuff here" myemail 2>&1 > /dev/null

And mail is 'mailx'.

2 messages were > 100K, and a 3rd message was about 800K. inprogress got to 4, queuedelivering got to 24.

Not that many messages, really.

I'm guessing error code 67 means EX_NOUSER, but why?
