RE: Sendmail: error receiving data from the mailserver

Thanks that did the trick. A runtime configuration for timeout would be
great for 4.1!

The name mudslide seems appropriate then :-)

It's most likely a timeout, yes. Monit will timeout if it cannot
connect or read data from the server within 5 seconds. To fix the
problem right away, open and edit the file net.h and change
NET_TIMEOUT 5 to NET_TIMEOUT 15, save and recompile monit. Does this
help?

Ps. For the upcomming 4.1 release I'll see if I can change this for
monit's sendmail code.
