[RHEL5] Long waiting on sendmail transfer completion
Last modified: 2008-06-10 05:40:49 EDT
Description of problem: All my accounts are sending email through local sendmail (except, that it is postfix, but it shouldn't matter I hope). Sometimes when running Send/Receive (not sure with the back-translation to English, I just press F9) Evolution just stays on "Waiting on Sendmail..." for a long time even when no messages are supposed to be sent at all, which is ridiculous. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evolution-2.8.0-20.el5 postfix-2.3.3-2 How reproducible: from time to time Steps to Reproduce: 1.press F9 to Send/Receive 2. 3. Actual results: evolution stalls on "Waiting for Sendmail..." Expected results: there should be no waiting on local sendmail, especially when no messages are being sent Additional info:
To make it even better, it seems that when Evo decides to never finish waiting on sendmail, it also stops sending any messages whatsoever (without making any noise about that). The only help is then evolution --force-shutdown (which should IMHO replace File/Exit in command menu; I am rarely able to leave Evo in the ordinary way ;-)).
Maybe related to http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=383618 ???
Just to note that I don't use RHEL5 regularly (just have it in kvm guest) and I haven't encountered this bug with F7.
RHEL 5.2 will re-base Evolution from version 2.8.0 to version 2.12.3. Can you please test whether this bug is still present in RHEL 5.2?
Reporter, could you please reply to the previous question?
Matej, you are the reporter. :)
Shut, I AM the reporter. No, I am afraid, I cannot reproduce it right now. My kvm is now broken, and I don't use RHEL anywhere in the real use. Committing INSUFFICIENT_DATA suicide.
