#35000 [Com]: mail() function freezes server (Postfix)

ID: 35000 Comment by: a dot lacombe at istm dot fr Reported By: william at knowmad dot com Status: No Feedback Bug Type: Mail related Operating System: Mandriva Linux 10.1 PHP Version: 4.4.0 New Comment: I experiment the same problem on the same configuration. In my case the mail() php function is called within the Claroline e-learning platform. This problem ocures only when MULTIPLE mail requests are sent to postfix server by the way of the php mail() function. I noticed that all mails were delivered to final users normaly just before the server freezes. After that, no way to access any more. Only solution : power off/On !! I found nothing to help me in the system or postfix error logs after system reboot, just like if the system had no time left to write anything in these files before it dies !

A hard reboot is necessary to restore function to the system. Because the system is frozen, debugging is difficult. By removing the mail() call, no further freezes have been experienced. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=35000&edit=1
