NULL context in mlfi_close ?

[mhrivnak]

Dear list,

I used version 1.2 with Slackware 8.0 for quite some time, but have recently
done a fresh installation of mandrake 9.1.  The system serves as
firewall/home router/mail server/web server etc.

I believe I have everythng configured, but I get these errors in syslog:

Jul  3 18:33:14 gso167-140-251 sendmail[16161]: h63MXEWU016161: Milter
(spamassassin): to error state
Jul  3 18:33:14 gso167-140-251 spamass-milter[16162]: mlfi_close
Jul  3 18:33:14 gso167-140-251 spamass-milter[16162]: NULL context in
mlfi_close! Should not happen!
Jul  3 18:33:14 gso167-140-251 sendmail[16161]: h63MXEWU016161:
from=<address@hidden>, size=483, class=0, nrcpts=1,
msgid=<address@hidden>, proto=ESMTP,
daemon=MTA, relay=internal-gw.uncg.edu [152.13.2.73]
Jul  3 18:33:14 gso167-140-251 sendmail[16163]: h63MXEWU016161:
to=<address@hidden>, delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=local,
pri=30700, dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent

I have all the updates applied in Mandrake 9.1, so it's sendmail 8.12.9.  I
have the latest spamd configured and running.  I've recreated sendmail.cf as
instructed in the README, and continuously get an error that sendmail.cf has
a duplicate milter entry.  Sure enough, every time I recreate sendmail.cf,
there are two identical entries relating to the milter.  I've been simply
commenting-out one of them.

I can't get sendmail or spamass-milter to be any more specific about the
errors, but the same errors occur for each and every received email.

If it matters, I'm starting the programs by hand for now as follows:
spamd -d -c
spamass-milter -p /var/run/sendmail/spamass.sock
sendmail -bd -q15m

Any thoughts?  Have I left out valuable information?  I certainly appreciate
your help- I'm stumped!
