Hi everyone, i desperately need help here. i suspect postfix has tls on or something. everytime i try to connect on my smtp port i'm shown a blank screen. the mail client can connect to smtp port but also gets stuck in the connect state i can connected but i cant do anything! i already tried to switch off tls and all that but i dont know whats wrong. can anyone help me please?
What system do you have? You should have some file beginning with mail in /var/log on debian its mail.info, mail.err, mail.log on centos / rhel it is eg maillog
Hi, i found the maillog file, im on fedora 5. Here are the some samples. the maillog file was extremely huge Oct 17 11:40:45 vps postfix/master[5252]: warning: /usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd: bad command startup -- throttling Oct 17 11:41:44 vps postfix/local[14908]: fatal: open database /etc/aliases.db: No such file or directory Oct 17 11:41:45 vps postfix/master[5252]: warning: process /usr/libexec/postfix/local pid 14908 exit status 1 Oct 17 11:41:45 vps postfix/master[5252]: warning: /usr/libexec/postfix/local: bad command startup -- throttling Oct 17 11:41:45 vps postfix/smtpd[14909]: fatal: open database /etc/aliases.db: No such file or directory Oct 17 11:41:46 vps postfix/master[5252]: warning: process /usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd pid 14909 exit status 1 Oct 17 11:41:46 vps postfix/master[5252]: warning: /usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd: bad command startup -- throttling what does that mean?
Hi everyone, just wanted to say very very big thank you, for putting in the effort to help me. Greatly appreciated. I solved the problem by typing postfix check
