Greetings

I had several of these on my primary MX this weekend and one just popped up. Can someone explain where this Insufficient system storage is ? both mail queues are empty, and DF shows < 20% on the reporting system.

Out: 220 mx2.beth.k12.pa.us ESMTP Postfix
In:  EHLO mx1.beth.k12.pa.us

Have a look for "queue_minfree" parameter in main.cf. The default for Postfix 2.1 and later is 1,5*message_size_limit which can be more than your 20% free if the filesystem the queues reside is rather small.

greetings

thanks for the reply

queue_minfree = 0

this is default on all my systems.

MX1
/dev/disk1s3               77G    51G    26G    66%    /

MX2
/dev/disk0s3              234G    46G   187G    20%    /


here is another example;

mx2 picks up and sends it to mx1 for AV scan. i can see MX1 has a smaller drive, but it's just amavis scanning and relay. No real big space required. System seems to be fine, but these errors are eluding me.
any insight would be helpful.
postconf available if need be,.
