Hello everybody!!
i am trying to run a filter relay with Postfix and i have a doubt about active queues i need help with, please... Postfix documentation states clearly that: "Messages in the active queue are ready to be sent (runnable), but are not necessarily in the process of being sent (running)." In my server i have some emails in active queue that are never tried to be sent... after some time they go to the deferred queue with no error message/indication of any type anywhere! When i try to force resend them via postqueue -i they go to active queue again but smtp process never tries to send them!!! There is absolutelly no log about them except when i restart postfix where i just see a qmgr log telling that that email is in active queue... (but again, no smtp log at all even i increase debug level) The weird thing is that it only happens with email from a specific domain (domainA) sent to a specific domain (domainZ) so.. mails from domainA -> domainZ PROBLEM!! mails from domainA -> any_other_domain NO PROBLEM! mails from any_other_domain -> domainZ NO PROBLEM! domainZ is using a symantec gateway after a F5 load balancer (just in case this info may help) how does postifx work at this regard? when do they go from "runnable" to "running"?? is there any way to FORCE mails in active queue to change from "runnable" to effectively "run" and force smtp to try to send them?? Thanks in advance! David.
