 |
|
On one of my systems mail is not being delivered.
I don't know what else to check:
/etc/aliases | Code: | # Well-known aliases -- these should be filled in!
root: joseph
apache: joseph |
postfix is up an running. | Code: | queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix
command_directory = /usr/sbin
daemon_directory = /usr/lib64/postfix
data_directory = /var/lib/postfix
mail_owner = postfix
mydestination = localhost.localdomain
unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550
debug_peer_level = 2
debugger_command =
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin
ddd $daemon_directory/$process_name $process_id & sleep 5
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail
newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases
mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq
setgid_group = postdrop
html_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.8.7/html
manpage_directory = /usr/share/man
sample_directory = /etc/postfix
readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.8.4/readme
default_destination_concurrency_limit = 2
alias_database = hash:/etc/mail/aliases
local_destination_concurrency_limit = 2
alias_maps = hash:/etc/mail/aliases |
mail.log mail.err mail.warn
are not being updated.
I just updated the system and was expecting mail from portage: | Code: | make.conf
PORTAGE_ELOG_CLASSES="info warn error log"
PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM="mail"
#PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILURI="root@localhost.localdomain /usr/sbin/sendmail"
PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILURI="root /usr/sbin/sendmail"
PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILSUBJECT="package \${PACKAGE} merged on \${HOST} with notice" |
I don't know where did the mail go.
I tested with: mailto root
but did not get any mail

Hi Joseph_sys,
did you tried to restart your postfix daemon ? Maybe postfix just is confused and wants to use deleted files.
Once restarted, postfix should write logs and we should be able to debug this situation.
Also, check the output of this command :
| Code: | | # lsof / | grep 'DEL' |
I'm also emailing myself after my emerges :
| Code: | $ grep -i mail /etc/make.conf
PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM="${PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM} mail_summary"
PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILURI="yuu@dn.tld" |
Good luck :]

This is the first time it happen to me that mail stop working.
Yes, I restarted postfix (emerge and restart) no errors.

Postfix starts OK but "tail messages" gives the the output | Code: | Jan 6 13:18:44 localhost postfix/qmgr[26405]: 27DBD2EAEDB: from=<root@sysconcept.ca>, size=387, nrcpt=1 (queue active)

It show opened files (=in use) which are deleted; so when you update a package: if you really want that your applications to use the new and shiny updated version, you should check the output of this command and restart the associated programs.
And for your "tail messages", that's quite wierd.. But I've found this (old) bug. This also reminds me of this topic.
But more importantly, does your mails are being delivered ?

Yes it seems to me I effected me too.
Though, I'm not sure what am I suppose to do downgrade glibc (I'm using glibc-2.13-r4) |

SOLVED!
by upgrading to kernel 3.0.6
and rebuilding postfix |
