get thousands of "Mailsize" mails from own server

Hello

I have Server with ISPConfig 2.2.8 and postfix running.
Problem is that the server sends thousands of messages to my webmaster email address to tell me about the mailsize.

How can this be stopped?

Email:

Thanks!

 

Do you redirect/forward mails for admispconfig to another user? You shouldn't do this! The mailsize mails are for the user admispconfig so that ISPConfig can calculate correct mail traffic statistics.

 

Same Problem, but at multible emails

Hi.

I have a similar problem, exept every admin-acount get flooded.

I run multiple domaines on my server.
Followed 'Perfect setup for Fedora core 6' to the last dot.
Installed ISPConfig before I did anything else.

Have read the posts I could find that just remotly touched this issue, but no help.
Have changed mydomain in main.cf to an empty domain that points to my IP, but isn't setup in ISPConfig.

Checked all conf-files against Docs and postings here, but nothing helps.

I have NOT forwarded any mails to anything at all.

Please help since it's slowing down a live server.

Partly solved

I edited all .procmailrc files and commented out the include mail.rc statement, so now I don't recieve all the mailsize-mails.

Still have an overloaded maillog.
Is there anyway to configure what to Log and what NOT to Log ?

 

Please run

Code:

postmap /etc/postfix/virtusertable

and restart Postfix.

Are there lots of mails in your mailqueue? You can find out by running

Code:

postqueue -p

 

Did that.

There was around 70.000 early this morning.
I used Outlook with a message-rule to empty the queue after commenting out the

Code:

include .......... mail.rc

line in every procmailrc.

Took me some time because of the amount of users.

Maillog is now downsized to ~35 MB

 

To empty the mail queue, you can simply run

Code:

postsuper -d ALL

 

Couldn't just empty the mail-queue hence it's a live server, and some of the custommers mails could be vital.

This should be in the Feature Request forum : Wouldn't it be an Idea to be able to decide what to log and what NOT to log?
