Nagios Support Forum

Hi,

I already replied with the ouput of the commands, please see earlier posts also.

I have re-ran and the results are in bold below:

cat /etc/postfix/main.cf | grep mailbox_size - blank
cat /etc/postfix/main.cf | grep message_size - blank
cat /etc/postfix/main.cf | grep virtual_mail

# the $virtual_mailbox_maps files.
# - destinations that match $virtual_mailbox_domains.

/etc/init.d/postfix reload
Reloading postfix: [ OK ]

I have successfully reloaded postfix but still the problem persists.

I will really appreciate any help. This is seriously really impacting our production environment.

Thanks.

We will probably double post here... what is returned with the following commands?
ll /var/mail/
ll /var/spool/mail

How large is the mail queue? Have you tried flushing the queue to retry delivery? You could also look at http://www.postfix.org/postsuper.1.html - Is your mail on hold?

Hi,

The outputs are below in order...

Hi,

In answer to your last question, I do not believe mail is on hold. Is there a way I can check. There has been another report of the same incident by someone else that installed 2102R1.7 on this thread.

I appreciate your assistance.

Are you still receiving the following error (file too large . . . .)?

Hi,

Yes I am still receiving the message....

See below just now:

Looks like the root mailbox is full. postfix defaults to around 50Mb. Try setting it to a larger value: Or just edit the file: And add: Restart postfix for good measure. If the mail is still not being sent, post another tail from the maillog here.

Hi,

Done but still no emails. See tail of log below:

Is the hostname: linapp20prdv.xxxxxxxx your XI box?
