freebsd stable - May 2003 - Sendmail --- HELP!

I posted something about this a while ago and didn't get any response.  I 
having a HUGE problem with sendmail.  I'm clueless that sendmail is even 
down until I check the box.  No mail comes in until I restart and even then 
sendmail doesn't stay up.

Note: I have only been having this problem since FreeBSD 4.8.  I have been 
doing the same setup for ages on all my boxes without failure until 
now.  Now, here is what my maillog says:

(note, my logs is filled with these errors, this is just a minor paste)

If anybody has any clues as to why this is happening, any input would be 
much appreciated. The only thing I can figure out from this is that 
sendmail is getting a restart signal but not coming back up when it does.



Thanks,

My guess is that sendmail is getting flodded with SIGHUP's and eventually,
one comes in before the signal handler can be setup.

What you have to find is what is sending all of those SIGHUPs.
