Hi all, I have a weird crash/problem that happend yesterday. Server (Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS (Lucid Lynx)) ISPConfig 3.0.5.4p8 The server is running since a couple of years without any problem. Yesterday around noon the postfix email server stop working. The only way I was able to make it work again was to restart the server. 12 hours later, the same problem came back. Here is the mail.err log: Mar 7 19:38:46 server postfix/trivial-rewrite[9983]: fatal: proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_domains.cf(0,lock|fold_fix): table lookup problem Here is the syslog : Mar 7 06:45:38 server postfix/smtpd[2926]: warning: problem talking to service rewrite: Success Mar 7 06:45:38 server postfix/smtpd[2835]: warning: problem talking to service rewrite: Connection reset by peer Mar 7 06:45:38 server postfix/master[2090]: warning: process /usr/lib/postfix/trivial-rewrite pid 21749 exit status 1 Mar 7 06:45:38 server postfix/master[2090]: warning: /usr/lib/postfix/trivial-rewrite: bad command startup -- throttling After multiples lines Mar 7 06:47:21 server postfix/trivial-rewrite[22267]: fatal: proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_domains.cf(0,lock|fold_fix): table lookup problem Nothing was change on the server as config/files or other. I search for this kind of error but it always was related to misconfig with postfix files. In this case, since the server is running for some time it can't be a misconfig. Also the 2 times it was crash. After a restart it work ok for some time! Any pointers as to where I should search would be appreciated. Thanks Spazio
First of all check this thread ( the end ) https://www.howtoforge.com/community/threads/postfix-trivial-rewrite.37089/ The issue here has been an added "proxy" prefix to the lines - it just appeared. But if it just appeared out of the sudden without any upgrade or touching config files / settings I'd recommend to check your available disk space $df -h check your raid ( if any ) if you have softraid do $cat /proc/mdstat - for hardware raids you might need something else. Check your disk health with $smartctl -a /dev/sda ( change sda with your disk name ) Make backups of important data and try a short/long/offline test $smartctl -t <short|long|conveyance|select> /dev/sda Do a file system check if it still looks good $fsck -v -f -c /dev/sda1 ( change it accordingly and check all partitions ).
