[SOLVED] Huge maillog while no postfix launched !

Tonus · 04-12-2020, 08:54 AM

Hi,
:I have a little problem here :
My maillog is flooded with line like :

Code:

Apr 12 15:39:32 servername postfix/postdrop[27341]: warning: mail_queue_enter: create file maildrop/972598.27341: Permission denied
Apr 12 15:39:33 servername postfix/postdrop[23600]: warning: mail_queue_enter: create file maildrop/135873.23600: Permission denied

I have no postfix launched... And the file is 50M !

Even if it isn't harmful, how could I avoid the flood ?

Any clue/hint would be kind !

Regards

Hi,

Maybe it's a failed cron job who tries to send a mail to root but it can't because postfix is down.
