Re: IP address gets a question mark from smtproutes

I now have over 70 emails in the queue and they won't leave. It seems that I may have to do a re-install of the whole shebang - so if I uninstall qmail what happens to the messages in the queue? I have been searching for a day and a half for a list of owners/permissions needed to make this work. I f...

Re: IP address gets a question mark from smtproutes

Okay, I redid the smtproutes file and have a different issue. Now ALL outgoing emails are sitting in the queue. Nothing goes out and all I see in the /var/log/qmail/current file is unable_to_chdir_to_maildir._(#4.2.1)/

Would this be the problem?

Maybe a permissions/ownership problem?

Re: IP address gets a question mark from smtproutes

While I was doing the install I wrote the smtproutes file in notepad, then just uploaded it. Should I recreate it using the server?

Re: IP address gets a question mark from smtproutes

I have Centos 5.9 installed and still can't find the problem. When trying things it doesn't matter what I enter in the smtproutes file it adds a '?' on the end. I have tired IP adresses as well as host names.

IP address gets a question mark from smtproutes

Greetings,

I have a fresh install of project gamera on a dedicated box. Everything seems to be fine - except...

When checking the logs no mail is being sent due to a question mark being placed like this:

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx?

It is happening on every domain. Any ideas gentlemen?

TIA,

Sonny

Re: Emails stuck in queue

All is well in the world! Thanks for pointing out that link jmackenz. Turns out that it wasn't missing files but ownership and permissions problem. Thanks again.

Re: Emails stuck in queue

I did a little research and found that the correct command with this version of qmail is qmail-showctl. Here is the output. Any clues from this? qmail home directory: /var/qmail. user-ext delimiter: -. paternalism (in decimal): 2. silent concurrency limit: 509. subdirectory split: 23. user ids: 102,...

Re: Emails stuck in queue

Thanks for the link, but I feel that my problem may be a bit deeper. I seem to be missing a couple of those files and I'll dig around and find them. But when I try:

# qmailctl stat
bash: qmailctl: command not found

aWould the missing files cause that behavior?

Emails stuck in queue

I have installed Centos 5 on a new server and installed project gamera. The system accepts the emails, spamassassin and clamd scan and then the emails won't leave the queue. This is the third time I have done a PG install and have never had this issue. Any ideas guys? /var/log/qmail current has &quo...

Re: Spamassassin and server load

Not really sure, but the rascal was smoking hot when I removed it. One of the fans in it probably quit.

Re: Spamassassin and server load

Just a follow up, it was hardware related. About an hour after my last post here the power supply went up on the server. After replacing it there are no more issues. Thanks for the effort Scott.

Re: Spamassassin and server load

Would this be causing it?

Re: Spamassassin and server load

Thanks Scott. So what should I do? Stop spamassassin then:

/etc/init.d/spamd start -D

Re: Spamassassin and server load

The /var/qmail/.spamassassin directory as well as the files contained in it are user: qmailq and group: qmail.

In /var/spool/qscan/.spamassassin everything is qscand

/etc/mail/spamassassin is root:root as well as everything in it.

Re: Spamassassin and server load

In poking around I notice a couple of major differences between the 2 servers. The 'bad' one has very large maillog files in /var/log - they are around 10 gigs. Also in /var/spool/qsan/.spamassassin there are about 20 files named auto-whitelist.locked, a bayes_seen file and a bayes_toks file. Finall...
