Hi,
I'm fairly new to postfix and have recently set up an instance on a site with a
newly-allocated static IP address. Mail was generally flowing in and out after I
configured the postfix and dovecot; however, some messages were not being sent, showing
"Client host rejected: Access denied" messages in the logs.
As I analyzed this, it seemed to be caused by the static IP not having a good reputation
with some sites' RBL policies. I therefore set the system up to relay via the ISP's mail
servers, which is working OK. That said, I'm still seeing sending attempts (in
/var/log/maillog) by what appear to be previous messages that didn't go out. These are
not going via the relay; neither, though, do they show in the mail queue (via
"postqueue -p").
Is there a way to re-inject these messages via the updated configuration so
that they go out via the ISP as new messages are doing? I've done a fair bit of
Googling but can't see how this might be achieved.
Thanks,
Des
To requeue mail, use "postsuper -r QUEUEID" or "postsuper -r ALL"
http://www.postfix.org/postsuper.1.html
but if the mail doesn't show up in "postqueue -p" then the
mail isn't in postfix. Maybe you still have sendmail installed?
If you need more help, please provide more evidence.
