Hi
Our one of the mail gateways running Solaris 9 with Sendmail 8-13.1 +
Mimedefang 2.44 + SpamAssassin 2.64 started to log the following error
messages all of a sudden:
Jan 5 14:49:39 its-mu-mail4.its.rmit.edu.au
mimedefang-multiplexor[1709]: [ID 389462 mail.error] Slave 2 died
prematurely -- check your filter rules

mimedefang-multiplexor[1709]: [ID 778059 mail.info] Starting slave 2

What would be the problem? There are 1000s of above messages in syslog,
but it is still accepting and routing mail.
Thanks
Mathew
