Hi, we have SunOS-4.1-sendmail running on two hosts, marlowe being the
mailhost, spade a client with its spool/mail NFS-mounted. We repeatedly
get "net hang"-messages like these:

Jun 20 02:35:02 marlowe sendmail[9572]: AA09569: locked
Jun 20 02:58:01 marlowe sendmail[9569]: AA09569: SYSERR: net hang reading from spade.dtro.e-technik.th-darmstadt.de: Connection timed out during collect with spade.dtro.e-technik.th-darmstadt.de
Jun 20 02:58:02 marlowe sendmail[9569]: AA09569: message-id=<9106200028.AA09569@digtec.dtro.e-technik.th-darmstadt.de>
Jun 20 02:58:02 marlowe sendmail[9569]: AA09569: from=<root>, size=22056, class=0

Can anybody tell me what "net hang" is? The two are on the same
ethernet (and spade being /usr-NFS-client couldn`t run without marlowe
anyway). So the net should work. When tested by hand, mailing on the
machines works flawlessly. Looking at the dates, someone suggested
that it is "batch -m" that sends the offending messages. But what
could batch do when execing sendmail that makes sendmail fail that way?

Thanks in advance

Michael
