Description:
------------
(Misconfigured) Sendmail sends PHP-FPM into an infinite loop of spawning/exiting worker processes when attempting to send an email through the mail() function. (The php script itself just times out without any output.)
Since this loop produces 100% cpu load and warnings AND logs these warnings, the log file has grown to 400MB+ before I noticed the load spike and stopped PHP-FPM master process with kill -9 PID (nothing else worked e.g. -QUIT).
After I purge-removed the Sendmail package and installed Postfix instead, everything is working as it should (I didn't made any changes to nginx/php-fpm/php config files whatsoever).
Server: nginx-0.8.47
PHP ini settings related to mail: "sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i"
Sendmail state: daemon was not running (sendmail process was called, it did it's work i.e. nothing, then exited)
PHP configure:
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-fpm --disable-rpath --with-pear --disable-debug --with-openssl --with-pcre-regex --with-zlib --enable-bcmath --with-bz2 --enable-calendar --with-curl --enable-exif --enable-inline-optimization --with-gd --enable-gd-native-ttf --with-gettext --with-imap --with-imap-ssl --with-kerberos --with-ldap --enable-mbstring --enable-mbregex --with-mcrypt --with-mysql --with-mysqli --enable-pcntl --enable-pdo --with-pdo-firebird --with-pdo-mysql --with-pdo-pgsql --with-pgsql --enable-shmop --enable-soap --enable-sockets --enable-sqlite-utf8 --enable-sysvmsg --enable-sysvsem --enable-sysvshm --with-tidy --enable-wddx --with-xmlrpc --with-xsl --enable-zip --with-pic --enable-ftp --enable-dom --enable-xmlwriter --enable-xmlreader --enable-tokenizer --enable-simplexml --enable-session --enable-posix --enable-phar --enable-libxml --enable-json --with-iconv --enable-filter --enable-fileinfo --enable-dba --enable-ctype
Dynamic extensions:
pecl apc-beta (apc.so) and rar (rar.so).
Changed PHP-FPM settings:
listen = /var/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock
listen.owner = www-data
listen.group = www-data
user = www-data
group = www-data
pm = dynamic
pm.max_children = 10
pm.start_servers = 4
pm.min_spare_servers = 3
pm.max_spare_servers = 6
request_terminate_timeout = 60
rlimit_files = 10240
chdir = /var/www
catch_workers_output = yes
Test script:
---------------
$to = 'xyz@abc.com';
// subject
$subject = 'Birthday Reminders for August';
// message
$message = '
<html>
<head>
<title>Birthday Reminders for August</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Here are the birthdays upcoming in August!</p>
<table>
<tr>
<th>Person</th><th>Day</th><th>Month</th><th>Year</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Joe</td><td>3rd</td><td>August</td><td>1970</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Sally</td><td>17th</td><td>August</td><td>1973</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

OKAY!!!!!
Actual result:

when calling the mail() function on unix, there is a fork to run the sendmail command. If the sendmail does not return quickly and FPM tries to kill the process because of request_terminate_timeout the bug happens. Here is a sample C code to simulate a bug sendmail config: // sendmail_bug.c #include <stdio.h> int main() { char buf[11]; while (1) { read(0, buf, 10); } return 0; } gcc -o /tmp/sendmail_bug sendmail_bug.c then configure your php.ini this way: sendmail_path = /tmp/sendmail_bug set request_terminate_timeout to a 5s and load a page with the mail function.
