What does that `lsof` line mean? What are the '*' characters? Do they mean the socket is bound to port 0 at both ends? Or does that line mean the socket is not complete, perhaps because accept() has not been done? Are you running sendmail on one system and dccm on another? Could there be a TCP socket leak in the milter library? Are you linking dccm with the libmilter generated by the fairly recent sendmail you seem to be using? Vernon Schryver vjs@rhyolite.com
