[Asterisk-Users] sendmail problems

[Chris Albertson]

You say "The server crashes"  I assume you mean that Asterisk
core dumps and sendmail continues to run just fine.  If you
can send mail out of the box sendmail is confgured well
enough and I doubt the problem is there.

If you can get Asterisk to dump then what you need to do is
use a debugger to get a backtrace.  This will tell to the
line (as i line of coe) that caused the crash.  The thing to
remember to that if a program crashed it is due to t bug..
There _should_ be no way for a user through misconfiguration
to cause a core dump.  What you are looking for is a little
bit od C cde that doesn't handle some condition well.  If yu
use "gdb" and the "bt" commad you can find the line 
Asterisk was executing when it crashed.

I'd not suspect sendmail
