My /var/log/messages is filling up with messages like the following: Jan 30 10:28:06 gateway sendsyslog: dropped 4 messages, error 55 Jan 30 10:28:06 gateway sendsyslog: dropped 2 messages, error 55 Jan 30 10:28:06 gateway sendsyslog: dropped 2 messages, error 55 Jan 30 10:28:06 gateway sendsyslog: dropped 1 message, error 55 Jan 30 10:28:06 gateway sendsyslog: dropped 2 messages, error 55 Jan 30 10:28:06 gateway last message repeated 2 times Jan 30 10:28:06 gateway sendsyslog: dropped 4 messages, error 55 Jan 30 10:28:06 gateway sendsyslog: dropped 2 messages, error 55 Jan 30 10:28:06 gateway last message repeated 2 times Jan 30 10:28:06 gateway sendsyslog: dropped 1 message, error 55 Jan 30 10:28:06 gateway sendsyslog: dropped 1 message, error 55
The messages occur in bursts with several hundred messages per burst, and here may be several seconds or hours between the bursts. I am quite willing to believe that I have done something stupid, but I have no idea what. Any hints to find out what is generating these messages.
