<p class="MsoNormal">Hi<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We run 4 mail servers with the same version of sendmail and mimedefang on them.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Running on RHEL 8.10<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">sendmail-milter-8.15.2-34.el8.x86_64<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We basically use the servers to add the boilerplate water mark to our email.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">On one of the servers, I’ve noticed this error re-occurs fairly regularly<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I’m a little stumped by this as I’m not sure what it’s telling me.

<p class="MsoNormal">Can someone explain this error and how to fix it?<o:p></o:p></p>
