I have been having issues on Mountain Lion with PHP 5.4.5 and sendmail. The issue I'm having is after a while of PHP FPM running, sendmail doesn't receive any response from php as to what to send and they just start eating CPU like no tomorrow.

As soon as I quit PHP-FPM, I see this message in postfix's log: Aug 8 17:06:29 mrgeckosmedia.local postfix/sendmail[61602]: fatal: _www(70): No recipient addresses found in message header I looked at the error log with "error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_STRICT & ~E_DEPRECATED" configured and saw nothing mail related. I know mail works, as the tests I have done worked well. Even the mail function which is called from the scripts that were running for hours due to this issue worked in my testing. Any help? This slows down my server and makes me so I have to quit and relaunch php-fpm. I may be missing some feedback from customers. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
