Hi all, I obviously have an configuration error on my backup MX, but can't sort it out alone.
I use two mailservers, one primary MX and a secondary MX which relays messages to the primary. A cron job on eara now generated a mail to root, which should be sent to m...@roland-ramthun.de. This doesn't happen, instead postfix logs the fatal configuration error below. I think the configuration error is misleading, what could the real problem be? Can or should the message be fixed? Thanks for your help, Roland ### Jul 1 17:30:00 eara postfix/master[32664]: daemon started -- version 2.6.6, configuration /etc/postfix Jul 1 17:30:01 eara postfix/qmgr[32671]: 1B0CE781817: from=<r...@eara.pxl.li>, size=2039, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Jul 1 17:30:01 eara postfix/local[32674]: fatal: main.cf configuration error: mailbox_size_limit is smaller than message_size_limit Jul 1 17:30:02 eara postfix/master[32664]: warning: process //usr/lib64/postfix/local pid 32674 exit status 1 Jul 1 17:30:02 eara postfix/master[32664]: warning: //usr/lib64/postfix/local: bad command startup -- throttling ### ### eara ~ # mailq -Queue ID- --Size-- ----Arrival Time---- -Sender/Recipient------- 1B0CE781817* 2039 Tue Jun 29 05:01:31 r...@eara.pxl.li r...@localhost.pxl.li -- 2 Kbytes in 1 Request. ### ### eara ~ # cat /etc/mail/aliases # Basic system aliases -- these MUST be present.
