I have all mails in queue, the server doesn't send neither receive, but I can't see any error. Queue list is like this: Code: F260F54801B! 1668 Wed Aug 3 14:19:29 [email protected] [email protected] F0A1754801A! 1777 Tue Aug 2 23:10:02 [email protected] [email protected] netstat -tap Code: tcp 0 0 localhost:10024 *:* LISTEN 17601/amavisd (mast tcp 0 0 localhost:10025 *:* LISTEN 17496/master tcp 0 0 *:smtp *:* LISTEN 17496/master ISPConfig 3.0.3.3 Debian 6.0.2 postfix 2.7.1-1+squeeze1 amavisd-new 1:2.6.4-3
You must have missed a step in the how-to of this site. These how-to's are practically water-tight. Supply us with some more info f.e.: - more lines from /var/log/mail.log - processlist (ps fax)

Your MailScanner is running as a Zombie Code: 20632 ? SNs 0:02 MailScanner: starting child 18043 ? ZN 0:01 \_ [MailScanner] <defunct> 18092 ? ZN 0:01 \_ [MailScanner] <defunct> You could try to stop mailscanner see if the zombies are gone and start it again then keep track of the child procs if they aren't defuncing again. if so, then you have a configuration error in Mailscanner and you should recheck your settings, check the log files for any errors etc .. If the zombies won't go, reboot the server, it's the only way to get rid of them. All your mails are on hold atm, you can requeue them again with Code: postsuper -H ALL after that, keep an eye on your mail.log file and watch for errors.
Well, I don't know what is a "zombie process", but I imagine is not good a thing. I stop mailscanner, and I start it then and I get the same. Then I restart the server, and I still having zombies I think. Code: 1734 ? SNs 0:00 MailScanner: starting children 1735 ? ZN 0:01 \_ [MailScanner] <defunct> 1871 ? ZN 0:01 \_ [MailScanner] <defunct> I had not touched /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf before. What can I check there?
Zombies are dead processes that can't be released. (man ps) You should double check your log files, there must be something in it that could give you a lead on what's going on .. Else remove Mailscanner from your mail setup and see if it works. did you try postsuper -H ALL ? Why are you using mailscanner btw? If your new to all this, you might want to use one of the "Perfect How-to's from this site to get your ispconfig system up and running.
Suddenly works! Code: 5774 ? SNs 0:00 MailScanner: starting child 25136 ? SN 0:01 \_ MailScanner: waiting for messages 25180 ? SN 0:01 \_ MailScanner: waiting for messages I need execute "postsuper -H ALL" and wait 5 minutes until I receive mails from or to gmail.com but works. And now I have this: Code: 0D102B020C1 1770 Wed Aug 3 22:54:17 [email protected] (Host or domain name not found. Name service error for name=im.server.net type=MX: Host not found, try again) [email protected]
nice, good to hear! That's because there where mostlikely more mails in the queue that needed to be processed, depending on the size of the queue it can take from 2 seconds up to hours. im.server.net has no MX records, you should create one that points to your server.
I post my reply without read yours. Why I am using mailscanner? That is a good question. I don't know I follow this how to http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-debian-lenny-debian-5.0-with-bind-and-dovecot-ispconfig-3 but I have Debian 6.0.2 Without installing Squirrelmail, and a piece of this http://www.howtoforge.com/extending-perfect-server-debian-squeeze-ispconfig-3 for install Roundcube
I have only 2 mails in queue. And I need execute "postsuper -H ALL" manualy or I can't send or receive mails.
I check it again: - I sent an email from gmail to my server - I seen it in few seconds in queue list - I wait until 20 minutes, and nothing happend - I execute "postsuper -H ALL" and five minutes later I get the mail
Is not my fault, is a MailScanner bug http://lists.mailscanner.info/pipermail/mailscanner/2011-April/097813.html But I don't know how to fix it
Mailscanner is not used in any of the perfect install how-to's i'd suggest you have a look at this how to and use this one to start of with a fresh newly installed system .. it'll save you a lot of hassle http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-debian-squeeze-with-bind-and-courier-ispconfig-3 After that you could look at this one to secure your server a bit more (but it's not essential): http://www.howtoforge.com/extending-perfect-server-debian-squeeze-ispconfig-3 Trust me, get rid of MailScanner, i remember i've worked with it 5 years ago and sucked donkey balls. i use amavisd for scanning my mails for virus/spam.
I have did a huge apt-get remove --purge, and then I have followed step by step the how to's carefully and all is working ok. I don't know why MailScanner was installed. Thanks for your help.
