[SOLVED] "mail transport unavailable" Error

Darkshine_DF · 09-08-2009, 05:28 AM

Hey guys,

Okay this is driving me mad, and I think I need some fresh eyes. I have over 800 e-mails sitting in the mail queue, the reason being "mail transport unavailable". Oh, and I keep getting this in the mail.warn:

Code:

postfix/qmgr[2701]: warning: connect to transport spamassassin: Connection refused

I must admit that I am probably out of my depth here, but any pointers would be appreciated. Config follows, '***'s are edited out for paranoias' sake. I also put verbose logging on EVERYTHING in postfix (as you can see) but I can't imagine the output from that is anything but.. too verbose?

MAIN.CF:

Code:

# See /usr/share/postfix/main.cf.dist for a commented, more complete version

smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Ubuntu)
biff = no

# appending .domain is the MUA's job.
append_dot_mydomain = no

# Uncomment the next line to generate "delayed mail" warnings
#delay_warning_time = 4h

myhostname = ***
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
myorigin = /etc/mailname
mydestination = localhost.localdomain, localhost.localdomain, localhost, ***, ***, ***, ***

Make sure spamd (the spamassassin daemon) is running.
Also uncomment the last line of master.cf:

Quote:

#spamassassin unix - - n - - pipe user=spamd argv=/usr/bin/spamc -f -e /usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -f ${sender} ${recipient}

Darkshine_DF · 09-08-2009, 06:06 AM

Hey,

spamd is running:

Code:

6825 	root 	32012 kB 	/usr/sbin/spamd --create-prefs --max-children 2 --username spamd -H /var/log/spa ...
6869 	spamd 	32012 kB 	spamd child
6870 	spamd 	32012 kB 	spamd child

passing to spamassassin is handled by procmail:

Code:

DROPPRIVS=yes
:0fw
| /usr/bin/spamc
:0
* ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
$HOME/Maildir/.Spam/
UMASK=007
SHELL=/bin/bash
LINEBUF=4096
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
VERBOSE=yes
$HOME/Maildir/.Spam/
MAILDIR=$HOME/Maildir/
DEFAULT=$HOME/Maildir/
LOGFILE=/var/log/procmail
DROPPRIVS = yes
:0:
$HOME/Maildir/

Sorry to *bump*, but I'm still stuck with this. Anyone got any ideas? Possible things to look at? Thanks in advance people, I'm really out of ideas here

Berhanie · 09-13-2009, 03:51 PM

Looks like you have something besides procmail that filters things through spamassassin. You need to post the output of postconf -n. Also take a look inside the transport table (probably, /etc/postfix/transport) to see what's there.

Darkshine_DF · 09-14-2009, 03:19 AM

Postconf -n:

Code:

alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
append_dot_mydomain = no
biff = no
config_directory = /etc/postfix
home_mailbox = Maildir/
inet_interfaces = all
inet_protocols = ipv4
mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail
mailbox_size_limit = 0
mydestination = localhost.localdomain, localhost.localdomain, localhost, ***.net, ***.co.uk, ***.com, ***.com
myhostname = ***.com
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8
myorigin = /etc/mailname
recipient_delimiter = +
relayhost =
smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Ubuntu)
virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual

I don't seem to have an /etc/postfix/transport - I understand they're optional anyway? Maybe this is the problem..

Darkshine_DF · 09-14-2009, 05:47 AM

I am the dumb.

Code:

smtp      inet  n       -       -       -       -       smtpd -v
        -o content_filter=spamassassin

removed the -o switch and its variables, reload postfix, requeue messages and flush, working

I don't believe I missed it! I've been tired recently..

Berhanie · 09-14-2009, 07:50 AM

Good catch.
