Good Day, The server isn't sending emails. It doesn't work from environment (PHP). I did a simple shell mail test and it is deferred: # less /var/log/maillog Feb 26 15:52:23 hote3 postfix/smtpd[25020]: connect from localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1] Feb 26 15:52:23 hote3 postfix/smtpd[25020]: warning: SASL: Connect to private/auth failed: Connection refused Feb 26 15:52:23 hote3 postfix/smtpd[25020]: fatal: no SASL authentication mechanisms Feb 26 15:52:24 hote3 postfix/master[835]: warning: process /usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd pid 25020 exit status 1 Feb 26 15:52:24 hote3 postfix/master[835]: warning: /usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd: bad command startup -- throttling Feb 26 15:52:24 hote3 sendmail[25019]: t1QKqN6o025019: to=[email protected], ctladdr=root (0/0), delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:01, mailer=relay, pri=30222, relay=[127.0.0.1] [127.0.0.1], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Connection reset by [127.0.0.1] Feb 26 15:53:36 hote3 clamd[749]: SelfCheck: Database status OK. I seem to have an issue with Dovecot? # service dovecot restart Stopping Dovecot Imap: [FAILED] [root@hote3 ~]# service postfix restart Shutting down postfix: [ OK ] Starting postfix: [ OK ] Any hint on how I approach this? Thanks ahead, JP Cyrenne
Don't know what I had done. I had the classic redundant symlink issue between /etc/dovecot.conf and /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf (linking to each other). root@hote3 dovecot]# service dovecot start Starting Dovecot Imap: [ OK ] [root@hote3 dovecot]# service dovecot restart Stopping Dovecot Imap: [ OK ] Starting Dovecot Imap: [ OK ] [root@hote3 dovecot]# service postfix restart Shutting down postfix: [ OK ] Starting postfix: [ OK ] My test mail worked... I seem to be good. Can I rest assured that the differed emails will all go out? The site went in production this morning. Thanks, JP
