postfix log

May 28 15:24:57 mizar postfix/smtp[21771]: 8787C33C9A5: to=<[email protected]>, relay=none, delay=328348, delays=328318/0.04/30/0, dsn=4.4.1, status=deferred (connect to example.com[208.77.188.166]: Connection timed out)


i have many of this entries in mail.log, user web9_alex1 does not exists (neither web9 exists) why it try to send an email?

 

Maybe spammers are trying to abuse your server...

 

i solved by myself

 

What did you do to solve it ?

I'm having a similar problems, postfix has a log queue, only restarting postfix seems to help a bit, the server had been running for a long time without problems until Sat. I have a Fedora Core 5 server running ISPConfig

If I restart postfix the server becomes unresponsive and has 90 waiting in 'top'.

Anybody, any clues ?

 

postqueue -p

and see the mailqueue

postsuper -d ID

and delete the message it try to send

 

Please make sure your server isn't an open relay.
Do you have lots of messages in your mailqueue (

Code:

postqueue -p

)? Is there lots of activity in your mail log? What's in /etc/postfix/main.cf (please strip out the comments)?
