I am running a server with Centos 4.4, using a combo of
sendmail-clamav-spamassassin for mail, which has been working quite well
up until last night. Around 3:00am, all mail going to all users was
being rejected by spamassassin. My ~/mail/.procmailrc is as follows:
Oct 30 07:09:02 linux sendmail[20671]: k9UC8xCK020669: to=<tom@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, delay=00:00:03, xdelay=00:00:02, mailer=local, pri=89726, dsn=5.1.1, stat=User unknown

Oct 30 07:09:02 linux spamd[348]: prefork: child states: II
The key here is contained in the last three lines of the maillog. I've
recently seen this behavior on one of the servers I maintain and it
happened just after upgrading a CentOS 4.3 server to 4.4. The problem is
the Sendmail update.
You have two choices:
1. Remove the current version of Sendmail and install the Sendmail
packages that come with CentOS 4.3
2. Remove Sendmail altogether and install Postfix.
Clearly choice number one is easier and much less painful since you
won't have to switch out your configuration files for SA, ClamAV or
Sendmail.
