Hi
I am running DU3.2d on a AlphaServer 8400 with sendmail 8.7.5. We have
recently migrated the /var/spool/mail from advfs to ufs because of
performance problem with advfs. We have about 40,000 mailbox in the
/var/spool/mail directory.
Recently, we are experiencing bounce mail from sendmail about "Too many
users" error message which is shown below.
Does anyone has experience this message from sendmail ? How can we solve
this problem ?
Thank you in advance.
