Post inet_addr_local error

I seem to be getting a few errors of this nature in my postfix mail.err logs:

Code:

fatal: inet_addr_local[getifaddrs]: getifaddrs: Cannot allocate memory

I am still able to send and receive mails but I am curious as to what this means and where I can look in order to diagnose any potential problems.

Apologies for the vagueness of the question!

Thanks for looking into this!

 

Hi

Please raise the limits for

tcpsndbuf
tcprcvbuf
othersockbuf
dgramrcvbuf
numothersock
for that VM on the OpenVZ host.

This is actually a VM with EasySpace. Is this something they have to do or is it something I can set? (Am thinking the former sadly!) I guess these are limits to the VM so that it doesn't affect the users on the same server?

 

Hi

In this case I will suggest to contact EasySpace further.

Thanks Srijan,

Will have a chat with EasySpace.

Would you be able to elaborate on these figures so that I have a basic understanding of them. Always good to expands your knowledge if you get the chance.
