Charles,
Sorry for not reading the guidelines, tired of looking for answers I was...
I tried reading that debug but couldnt figure it out, I dont even know
how to copy the output of postconf from ssh or any other way.
Well anyways the support team at godaddy already went thru and tried to
fix postfix, this is what they sent me:
We have reviewed your server and were unfortunately able to return
Postfix to a working state. I have attempted to restore the default
configuration of Postfix, and have also rebuilt the transport database
used by Postfix.
We attempted to restore Postfix's settings but were unsuccessful. At
this time we are recommending the server be reprovisioned. This will
erase all of the data from your server and return it to a like new
state. If you have any additional instructions or suggestions that you
would like us to attempt before resorting to a reprovision please let us
know and we will attempt to implement them
So, since its toast, what I was merely asking, after saying what
happened, was if someone could tell me how to copy and save what is in
the mail queue. But first I need to know how to check and see if
wnything is actually in the mail queue, how do i see/view?
Thanks,
Gerry
PS I have been able to peek into the folders " /var/sppol/postfix/ " but
nothing shows in the folders
Sounds like a load of hooie.
Perhaps if you follow the instructions here:
http://www.postfix.org/DEBUG_README.html#mail
and show us what the problem is, someone can give a better
answer than "reformat the server".
To answer your question, you can type the command
# postconf queue_directory
to see where postfix stores UNDELIVERED mail.
The "mailq" command will tell you if there is any undelivered
mail.
You can just copy everything there and restore it on a
different server.
