I think this is related specifically to a postfix bug, not spamassassin. I run a large postfix farm with 2.0.13 on all nearly all boxes except one running 2.0.16. That box has been exhibiting the behavior you've described. At infrequent/random intervals, all mail begins spooling with no delivery processes running. A process restart is required. I haven't had the time to run the bug down -- and with .13 running fine for me, I'll likely just stay there.

It will accept mail, pass it on to Spamassassin, pick it back up and send it on to our mail server without problem for weeks on end. Then I will get a complaint that no one is getting e-mail. I'll look in the maildrop directory and all of the e-mail is sitting in there. "service postfix restart" sends the e-mails out, but "postfix flush" does not. Any ideas? ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials. Become an expert in LINUX or just sharpen your skills.
