Strange mail problem, no errors, and no mail
I have a system connected to a cable modem. It was able to send mail fine for some time, then it suddenly stoped working. I can't seem to find what is wrong. I sent an email with the -v option and it looks like it is connecting OK. I'm not getting any returned emails.
Output below: (changed the system name to xxxx) [jadams@xxxx jadams]$ mail -v quincy56@aol.com Subject: test test Cc: quincy56@aol.com...

Nope,
Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sda1 1715588 1115300 513140 69% / none 63112 0 63112 0% /dev/shm /dev/sdb1 3557744 1410012 1967004 42% /usr Any other ideas? I'm stumped. |
i am having a similar problem, but on a windoze box. ( i know its a different OS but it could be worth a try )
just as a test, send an email to your box with a certain word, for example a single word in an email, something like, 'foobar' and then search your mail queue folder for a file containg the word. ( i am not sure what email thing your using so i will presume you have a mail queue ) if there is a file with it in then its getting there, and you have a poblem on the box, if its not, then you could have a dns problem for example The software i use is mailgaer from symantec, they suggest delete the entire contents of my mail queue ( stop the service/process first ) due to a bug that causes a loop, if you delete the postmaster account then send an email to a user that does not exist it bounces from the non existant user to the non existant post master account and back to the other non existant account. or a mis configured host address on the server any who as this is going on the mail queue builds up and causes the service/process to die if you send me your email addr i can send you a test email to see if its getting there, over the past few months i have had my fair share of email problems! |
Strange!?!
No log information gave me the answer, but I found a change in master.cf:
the smtp service was limited to max 2 processes. Can't work obviously.... Anyone knows about this? hacker? bug in postfix? Regards /E |
