We have been having a problem wih this log entry below on a number of sendmail systems. There is a connection that gets nailed up and after an hour the 40 gig /var/log is full of these messages. Well, we know what happens at that point.

The log entry

Code:

Jan 29 01:49:09 smtp sendmail[32091]: STARTTLS: read error=generic SSL error (0)

The fix if the following:
Add the following line to:
/usr/portage/mail-mta/sendmail/files/site.config.m4

Code:

APPENDDEF(`confENVDEF', `-D_FFR_DEAL_WITH_ERROR_SSL')

I am assuming this should get reported at a bug as this is a sort of DoS to the system?
