Topic: email seems to have stopped

[reboot13]

Not sure what has happened here. Email was working fine, then this morning, got a phone call email had stopped. I checked the Qmail queue's and found several large (approx 12MB) failure notices.

Stopped qmail, and removed these items from the queue. Restarted qmail and now no messages are leaving the queue.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Ron,

  You sound like a guy who could get onto a command line and do a little digging.  The log files will have the answer, but they are different between 6.x and 7.x.  I believe you could run the command below to learn something.

tail -f /var/log/qmail/current

Post your error messages.... and tell us what version you are using.

You don't need the command line to view log files. Use the server-manager panels.

You're right that the log files will provide the answers. Is any mail arriving? (qpsmtpd log files) What is happening to it once it arrives? (qpsmtpd, spamd, clamd and qmail log files).

It ended up being a problem with a clam upgrade... missing dependencies??? Anyway, thanks for looking, and replying.

Log files are your friend.
