Error: Failed to link message body between queues

[Jim Holland]

Hi all

I am running mailscanner-4.31.6-1 on Red Hat Linux release 7.1 (Seawolf)
with kernel 2.4.20-28.7.

I wonder if anyone could advise on the above error, which has appeared
twice in the maillog today after an upgrade from the Red Hat
sendmail-8.11.6 rpm to sendmail-8.13.1 which was compiled from the source
file: ftp://ftp.sendmail.org/pub/sendmail/sendmail.8.13.1.tar.gz.

The detailed log entries are:

Oct 28 19:46:44 mail MailScanner[10952]: Failed to link message body between queues (/var/spool/mqueue/dfi9SHiYEl003400 --> /var/spool/mqueue.in/dfi9SHiYEl003400)

Oct 28 22:23:02 mail MailScanner[4888]: Failed to link message body between queues (/var/spool/mqueue/dfi9SKLSEO028329 --> /var/spool/mqueue.in/dfi9SKLSEO028329)

In each case the log indicated that the relevant message had been
delivered, but I wonder if the message was delivered with an empty message
body as a result.

Any help would be most appreciated.
