Topic: Email not being sent

[edb]

SME server 5.6 all of a sudden will not send out email (sometimes it takes several days for it to be received at the other end)although there seems to be no problems with receiving email. I have upgraded to SME server 6.0.1 and still no change. Could something be clogging up the mail queue?
If I go to the basic log analysis it states that there are 29,768 messages queued though the waiting to be processed reads "0".
Any ideas would be apreciated. Thanks

Sorry we are not mind readers, you tell us !
The other options in Mail Log File Analysis reports, will show you why the messages are not being delivered.

I have some problems like that when I had clamav to do a weekly FS scan and it changed permissions from /bin/bash to 700 (original is 755).

A simple "chmod 755 /bin/bash" solved my problem!

This is a bug of ClamAV!

Let me know if this solve your problem!
