Hi, The machine has been running fine since past few months, Yesterday suddenly it stopped sending and receiving mails. Checking the log shows that the time changes by +5.5 hours when sendmail is (re)started. +5.5 is the difference between GMT and the timezone for the server which is set to IST. One of the suggestions was that this could be caused by chroot but I checked /etc/postfix/master.cf but I see 'n' for chroot for all the lines. Where can I check/correct the time offset with sendmail. Also, 'ps aux' does not show any sendmail processes running most of the time and qshape shows a growing mail in the active queue. pflogsumm shows that only a few emails from the queue are sent sporadically during the day.
You'll need to share details of your config and unaltered log entries showing the problem.
