mail problems

[jumbonet]

Greetings,

I keep having problems with mail getting stuck in the que. After i restart it that's when it starts sending again. But what surprises me is that it this is happening quite too frequently. :/

Send in a support request ticket to your distributor if you did not purchase directly from Zervex. Be sure that you give examples etc of what is happening.

Ok, if they pass me back here then I'm stuck in a loop. :(

These are simply community forums. Please do not in any way consider these an official support channel. They are simply a place for DSM users to communicate with one another.

If they send you here, when I would let them know that.

maria,
Speak with your reseller or if you have purchased a license directly from us submit a support request to support@zervex.com.

resolved the above issue via support request ticket.

FYI, if you are having mail problems be sure to check to see if your /etc/resolv.conf has nameservers that query. As in the case above the nameservers did not query because they were down etc and it stopped courier from sending.

This problem still persists from time to time. But unlike Maria's problem it gets back to normal after a restart but I get an error:

Bind: Address already in use

Any clues?

Tried asking our dedicated server provider but they are not familiar with courier.

[LeeJ]

maria's problem was because she was using nameserservers that did not function and her providers mail server was unreachable down.

Please help I really need the mail that is stuck

[maria]

I can't get mail to work it is causing huge problems can anyone help me with this?

[LeeJ]

If you purchased your dsm license directly from us please submit a support request to us. Otherwise please submit a support request with the company you purchased your license from.

[maria]

an email to you but I cna't send mail right now

[maria]

I tried to restart the mail server and now I can't get it to come back up.

[LeeJ]

send your telephone number to me via mail using the forum. I will call you to get your information.

[LeeJ]

Also, post the errors that you are getting. This may help other people help you if you choose to use the forums as a support method. You can find errors in the /var/log/maillog file.

Check your partitions to be sure that they are not full. You can view this by logging into dsm as root or logging in via the command line and typing df -h.

What company sold you your dsm license?

now we just need to clear out what's in the mailq. The disk doesn't seem to be full is i have tried to do sendmail -q but that didn't seem to force the mail to go.

[LeeJ]

Run the command
courier flush

For command details run the command below

man courier

per a ticket sent directly to us concerning this matter it was discovered that maria had a full and very small /var partition.
