Fix Errors


This was due to the fact that DB Listener was down. Once DB listener was brought up, this error disappeared.

opendaemonsocket: daemon MTA-v6: server SMTP socket wedged

After installing a newly available build of Solaris 10, sendmail was disallowing connections from anything but localhost. We tried taking a diff between sendmail.cf of older build and the new sendmail.cf and found that the old sendmail.cf had extra lines for DaemonPortOptions :

O DaemonPortOptions=Name=MTA-v4, Family=inet
O DaemonPortOptions=Name=MTA-v6, Family=inet6
O DaemonPortOptions=Port=587, Name=MSA, M=E

After including the DaemonPortOptions of MTA-v4 and MTA-v6, it started giving this error message:

opendaemonsocket: daemon MTA-v6: server SMTP socket wedged

So we removed the MTA-v6 line, and the above error stopped coming. Meanwhile I had googled this error and found this post on OpenSolaris forms. Based on the information, I reasoned that changing the parameter to false would allow connections from other hosts:

svccfg -s sendmail setprop config/local_only=false
svcadm refresh sendmail
svcadm restart sendmail

This worked perfectly fine. Since we don't use Solaris Zones, there was no need to use the pfexec command.
