[Mimedefang] My sendmail/mimedefang crashed

[Mathew Thomas]

Hi,
I am running Sendmail 8.12.10 + Mimedefang 2.36 + spamAssasin 2.55 on a Solaris 9 box -  E250 . It is a  mail gateway and it is configured with 25 ( MX_MAXIMUM) process. ( Looks it too much and I am going change it to 20).  What could be the reason for the crash? Please see the attached log.

Thanks
Mathew
