mailwrapper 100% CPU

R

rokj

Hi,

I have several mailwrapper processes which all takes a lot of CPU. Why is that? Which package is mailwrapper part of?
 
Not sure about the 100% CPU issue, but mailwrapper(8) is provided as part of the base FreeBSD. What version of FreeBSD are you running and on which platform? Providing the output of uname -a will give us this info.
 
First, thx for quick reply.

Code: 
FreeBSD sonce.rasca.net 10.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 10.0-RELEASE #0 r260789: Thu Jan 16 22:34:59 UTC 2014     root@snap.freebsd.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64

Code: 
# $FreeBSD: release/10.0.0/etc/mail/mailer.conf 93858 2002-04-05 04:25:14Z gshapiro $
#
# Execute the Postfix sendmail program, named /usr/sbin/sendmail
#
sendmail    /usr/sbin/sendmail
send-mail   /usr/sbin/sendmail
mailq       /usr/sbin/sendmail
newaliases  /usr/sbin/sendmail
 
You seem to have replaced the built-in sendmail(8) with postfix (this is what you should have told us already in your first message) and installed postfix with prefix set to /usr. Is it installed from ports by using the
Code: 
INST_BASE=on
option?
 
For the records: I had the same problem after deinstalling postfix which means going back to sendmail. I had to edit mailer.conf:

Code: 
sendmail        /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail
send-mail       /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail
mailq           /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail
newaliases      /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail
hoststat        /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail
purgestat       /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail

This means that a pkg deinstall postfix does not change everything back.
