Sendmail: error receiving data from the mailserver

[Steve Menke]

Hi, I am looking into using monit to monitor one of our test servers. However, I keep getting the following error:

 

      Sendmail: error receiving data from the mailserver 'mudslide.bodymedia.com' -- Resource temporarily unavailable

 

However, "sendmail address@hidden" works fine. Which make me think something is wrong with monit. My test monitrc is as follows:

 

      set mailserver mudslide.bodymedia.com

 

      check device export with path /dev/md/dsk/d5

              if space usage > 10% then alert

              alert address@hidden

 

I am running monit 4.0 on Solaris 8. My mailserver mudslide.bodymedia.com is a slow. I can take a few seconds before a prompt is returned. I assume this is timeout issue. Does anyone have any ideas?
