Nagios filling up /var/spool/mqueue

[scottwilkerson]

The items in /cache/logwatch aren't part of the Nagios XI install but may be part of your standard install..

Can you run the following to determine your MTA

Code: Select all

ls -l /etc/alternatives/mta

tmproot@usa0300lv725>ls -l /etc/alternatives/mta
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Mar 1 2012 /etc/alternatives/mta -> /usr/sbin/sendmail.sendmail

I will speak to our datacenter regarding those files.

Can you run

Code: Select all

service sendmail status

If it is not running, run

Code: Select all

service sendmail start

[disrael]

interesting, I wonder how it stopped.

That should fix the problem...

I normally don't like to piggy back on someone elses threads, but it seems like this would be a valuable addition to troubleshooting in this instance.

I'm noticing our maillog is growing rather large as well. I've messed around with rotation/compression optons, but I'm noticing a number of connection refused entries in my maillog.

I'm getting connection refused to 2 different mail servers on our system but emails are being sent just fine. Is there a configuration somewhere that's causing this that I haven't caught yet?

Code: Select all

(if this should be a new thread, please pardon me and feel free to split off)

Hmm, odd as well, would you mind splitting this off into a new thread? "phpbb3 won't allow us to break someones reply off and force a thread creation...I don't believe."
