| Post subject: | Postfix Queue building |
Hello, I've noticed my postfix queue has been building like crazy since I installed the apache graphs for munin last week.
When I look at the mailq, there are thousands of messages like the following Code: 9C40D55CB2 2705 Sat Jul 24 23:08:26 MAILER-DAEMON The documentation on postfix is quite sparse, any pointers on how to stop these messages being sent, and to remove the existing ones fro the queue would be most appreciated. Thanks, Moses. |

Looks like it's munin trying to send emails and you've not configured it to send correctly. Check your munin.conf |

Use the 'postsuper' command to remove messages from the queue. For details: man postsuper |

Thanks for the tip on postsuper, I've removed all the messages from the queue now. Just for my own information, is this a queue of mail to be sent, or mail that has been returned? Here's my munin.conf, I added the contact.me.command mail lines on Friday with no effect.. Code: cat munin.conf |

It's a queue of mail to be sent, notifying of mail that was returned. You can check your mail.log for full details, but I suspect moses@site.comm isn't your e-mail address. Double-check that. |

Thanks for that hoopycat, I never picked up that the comments to the plugin use a .comm rather than .com email. Strange. I've fixed that one now, still no email and the queue is building up again. |

Mose, without knowing the actual domain name(s) and/or IP's you are having problems with, it is difficult for anyone to analyze anything based on what you have provided. What does your mail logs shows? Are you utilizing a firewall? -- Travis |
