I'm not quite sure where to start with this one, so do you get any errors when you do: Code: /etc/init.d/postfix start
Thanks for awsering, but any erros showed: Code: # /etc/init.d/postfix start * Starting Postfix Mail Transport Agent postfix [ OK ] But when I seek for status: Code: # /etc/init.d/postfix status * postfix is not running End again, same error... Code: postqueue: name_mask: all postqueue: inet_addr_local: configured 2 IPv4 addresses postqueue: inet_addr_local: configured 2 IPv6 addresses postqueue: fifo_trigger: open public/qmgr: cannot open file: No such device or address postqueue: fatal: Cannot flush mail queue - mail system is down
I'm sorry. I don't know. Hopefully someone else with more background with postfix will see this, and help.
I tried to "purge" all packages related and reinstall, but any effect. I just finish to look this post quoted at perfect server howto, but also any effect. http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showpost.php?p=265831&postcount=25 Right now, I'm kind of scary about this... the queue sums up 10k messages and nothing I do can send them. If someone has a hint about what should I looking after, please tell me.
any ideas about this part: Code: root@alfred:~# postfix -v check postfix: name_mask: ipv4 postfix: inet_addr_local: configured 2 IPv4 addresses
@Jonathon Gilbert this thread is 8 years old, you should not hijack ancient threads. Better create new thread and descibe problem, it is possible this old thing has nothing to do with your current situation.
