due to a lack of memory.

<th valign="top" align=left>NOTES</th>

|
<td>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>If possible, filters should not run as root when communicating
|
|
over unix/local domain sockets.
|
|
<li>Unix/local sockets should have their permissions set to
|
|
0600 (read/write permission only for the socket's owner) or
|
|
0660 (read/write permission for the socket's owner and group)
|
|
which is useful if the sendmail RunAsUser option is used.
|
|
The permissions for a unix/local domain socket are determined as
|
|
usual by <code>umask</code>, which should be set to 007 or 077.
|
|
Note some operating systems (e.g, Solaris) don't use the
|
|
permissions of the socket. On those systems, place the socket in a
|
|
protected directory.
