Do you have the RIGHT owner-listname alias. > When delivering mail to a list which is implemented as an > ldap-alias-list (currently 289 recipients), the local daemon delivers > most of the mails to local mailboxes but then fails to open some > .forward files with "Too many open files". (See below.) The mail is then > re-queued and fails again at the next queue flush. With the correct owner- alias, when delivery fails Postfix will not deliver the recipients again that already have the mail. That is the distinguishing feature of having the right owner- alias. To avoid running out of file handles reduce the number of Postfix processes or increase your kernel tables. http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#default_process_limit http://www.postfix.org/master.5.html Wietse
