Hi everyone, I've been trying to figure out in the past 3 days what happened to my mail server (I even tried a fresh install) and nothing has changed so far. I doubt the configuration is the issue. For now, only mails sent and received via smtp will be processed. But, I constantly have to restart postfix to process the queue (I do it every 30 seconds for now), even there, the php mail queue is piling up. $ postconf -n Code: alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases body_checks = regexp:/etc/postfix/body_checks broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes command_directory = /usr/sbin config_directory = /etc/postfix content_filter = amavis:[127.0.0.1]:10024 daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix data_directory = /var/lib/postfix debug_peer_level = 2 header_checks = regexp:/etc/postfix/header_checks html_directory = no inet_interfaces = all inet_protocols = all mail_owner = postfix mailbox_size_limit = 0 mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq.postfix manpage_directory = /usr/share/man message_size_limit = 0 mime_header_checks = regexp:/etc/postfix/mime_header_checks mydestination = localhost, localhost.localdomain myhostname = myownhiddendomain.com mynetworks = my.ip.here/32 [my:ipv6:block]/64 nested_header_checks = regexp:/etc/postfix/nested_header_checks newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases.postfix proxy_read_maps = $local_recipient_maps $mydestination $virtual_alias_maps $virtual_alias_domains $virtual_mailbox_maps $virtual_mailbox_domains $relay_recipient_maps $relay_domains $canonical_maps $sender_canonical_maps $recipient_canonical_maps $relocated_maps $transport_maps $mynetworks $virtual_mailbox_limit_maps $smtpd_sender_login_maps queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.6.6/README_FILES receive_override_options = no_address_mappings relay_domains = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_relaydomains.cf relay_recipient_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_relayrecipientmaps.cf relayhost = sample_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.6.6/samples sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix setgid_group = postdrop smtpd_client_restrictions = check_client_access mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_client.cf smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, check_recipient_access mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_recipient.cf, reject_unauth_destination, reject_rbl_client zen.spamhaus.org smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_authenticated_header = yes smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot smtpd_sender_login_maps = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_sender_login_maps.cf smtpd_sender_restrictions = reject_authenticated_sender_login_mismatch, check_sender_access mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_sender.cf smtpd_tls_cert_file = /home/certs/ca.crt smtpd_tls_key_file = /home/certs/ca.key smtpd_tls_security_level = may smtpd_use_tls = yes transport_maps = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_transports.cf unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550 virtual_alias_domains = virtual_alias_maps = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_forwardings.cf, mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_email2email.cf virtual_gid_maps = static:5000 virtual_mailbox_base = /var/vmail virtual_mailbox_domains = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_domains.cf virtual_mailbox_maps = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_mailboxes.cf virtual_transport = dovecot virtual_uid_maps = static:5000 Code: # cat /etc/postfix/master.cf smtp inet n - n - - smtpd submission inet n - n - - smtpd -o smtpd_tls_security_level=encrypt -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes -o smtpd_client_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject -o milter_macro_daemon_name=ORIGINATING smtps inet n - n - - smtpd -o smtpd_tls_wrappermode=yes -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes -o smtpd_client_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject -o milter_macro_daemon_name=ORIGINATING #628 inet n - n - - qmqpd pickup fifo n - n 60 1 pickup cleanup unix n - n - 0 cleanup qmgr fifo n - n 300 1 qmgr #qmgr fifo n - n 300 1 oqmgr tlsmgr unix - - n 1000?

So I restarted it and it gets processed and then stuck, meaning I have to restart again to get it in my Inbox.

Hi, Could you be a bit more clear? You want me to stop all postfix processes & cie? So, dovecot, amavisd, clamd.amavisd, clamd, etc should be stopped? Then check what, since nothing is going to happen. Code: [root@SERVER ~]# service postfix stop Shutting down postfix: [ OK ] [root@SERVER ~]# service postfix check [root@SERVER ~]# service postfix start Starting postfix: [ OK ] Thanks,
Hi, I tried, but no conclusion can be done. Nothing fails while executing the commands... This is a production server that stopped working after updates have been applied and a reboot done. Here are the packages updated at the time.
