Hello,
I am running Postfix 2.9.4 (for more than a year now) on CentOS 6.5
x86_64 as a gateway server with postscreen, amavis, spamassassin. The
server receives mail from the Internet and forwards (relays) clean mail
to the final internal mail server (also running postfix).
Today, I am facing the following problem, which I have not faced again:
Mail is received, but most of it is queued up on the active queue,
without it being delivered. However, some mails do get through.
I tried postqueue -f but without success; in the log I see:
Feb 27 14:06:08 mailgw1 postfix/postqueue[26088]: name_mask: ipv4
Feb 27 14:06:08 mailgw1 postfix/postqueue[26088]: name_mask: ipv6
Feb 27 14:06:08 mailgw1 postfix/postqueue[26088]: inet_addr_local:
configured 2 IPv4 addresses
Feb 27 14:06:08 mailgw1 postfix/postqueue[26088]: inet_addr_local:
configured 3 IPv6 addresses
I have now more than 1700 messages on the active queue, which is
usually empty (we receive low mail volumes).
What can I do to resolve the situation? Can I safely restart postfix
(e.g. service postfix restart) (without risking losing the queued
mails)? Please advise!
Thanks in advance,
Nick
