Qmail 'freezes'? on Fedora Core 4
Hi all
Still new to the whole Linux thing, and only have experience with Suse 9.1, however... There's a fedora core 4 box running Qmail, Clamav, and Spamassassin here that I've been having a problem with for a few days... Every few hours - 3-4 times a day, it seems that the qmail process freezes! The processes look like they're running, but users can't send or receive mails... I can't stop the service from webmin either. After restarting the process from the CLI' ('qmailctl stop' then 'qmailctl start') everything is fine again. I have checked /var/log/messages - nothing of any use in there Also checked in /var/log/qmail - no luck there either I've also gone through a few other logs that are unrelated to qmail and nothing. The memory usage is fine (around 47%) and the hard drive usage is at 12%. I need someone to please point me in the right direction cos I'm at a complete loss and don't know where to check next. Thanks |
Got it working again... simple problem of maintenance:
The quarantine folder was sitting at 108000 files and the smtp processes were unable to access it - and hanging. Cleared the quarantine and log files and temp folders and Voila!!! Mail server back online :D The only problem now is that although I have cleared the quarantine folder - the folder size is still showing as 67mb!!! How would I sort that one out? |
