Postfix mail queue doesn't flush
 
Hi!

I have configured a new dedicated served. I have installed webmin, postfix, dovecot and spamassassin.

When I send a mail to my server or I send a mail from my server, it goes to "Webmin->Posftix->Mail queue". But it's not ever delivered to mail boxes. When I push the button "Flush Mail Queue" in webmin, it executes the command "/usr/sbin/postqueue -c /etc/postfix -f", but nothing happens.

Messages remain in "mail queue" and there are not error messages displayed. I revised /var/log/mail files, and /var/log/syslog and there is not any error message.

I don't know where is the error. Can you help me?

Thanks a lot!

Hi,

You should post your config files.
Also, what distribution are you running? maybe it's logging the error somewhere else?
