Topic: email has stoped

[Phil]

Hi,
I have got a e-smith server, connected via a permanent connection to the internet, it has been up without a problem for 85 days, and all of a sudden it has decided to stop sending and receiving mail for its one and ony domain, I have scaned the ports and smtp is open and ready to receive mail, but it does not get through to the apropriate user, if I try remotely through the wemail interface, it reports a error and will not send to any one outside or inside the local domain.

Could somebody please give me a Idea on what is possibly gone wrong, as it has given faultless service for 85days without a reboot.

Any help will be appreciated

Have a look at /var/log/maillog for any errors:

tail -100 /var/log/maillog

Thanks for the reply,

I did the above command and I received the following


"EOF on client fd.  At least they could say goodbye!
bash: EOF: command not found"

So I had a look in the previous log file. and it had this to say

Sendmail exited abnormally (status 28416) message not forwarded.
smtpfwdd(5788): Child process (5937) failed

what does this mean

I'm having the same problem with both es-4.0 and es-4.1.2 installs.

/var/log/mailog shows...

Jun 20 12:41:41 mailhost imapd[782]: Command stream end of file, while reading line user=username host=[207.124.34.210]

Jun 20 12:41:39 mail1 imapd[781]: imap service init from 207.124.34.210

Jun 20 12:41:40 mail1 imapd[781]: Command stream end of file, while reading line
user=user1 host=[207.124.34.210]

Any ideas?
