Topic: sme 8 qmHandle smeserver-saco-qmHandle-1.3.4-3.noarch.rpm

[veeresh]

Hi,

I installed smeserver-saco-qmHandle-1.3.4-3.noarch.rpm to check mail queue.

after that I see a lot mails in the queue and not being delivered.


Mail log file analysis shows

Mail Log File Analysis
Report generated: Sat 25 Aug 2012 05:43:55 PM IST
messages in queue: 880
messages in queue but not yet preprocessed: 96

during search for a solution I found this link

http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2020

I am not sure if queue is building because of installing qmHandle.

Could anybody please point how to solve this issue

Thanks in advance

As you can see in the bug description, I suggest to make the changes below to the file /usr/bin/qmHandle. But I don't think that problems with qmHandle should cause messages to queue up. What does /var/log/messages/qmail/current show?

Code: [Select]

< #my ($stopqmail) = '/usr/local/bin/svc -d /service/qmail';
< #my ($startqmail) = '/usr/local/bin/svc -u /service/qmail';
<
< # For SME server 7 and 8 this is now sv instead of svc
< my ($stopqmail) = '/usr/local/bin/sv -v down qmail';
< my ($startqmail) = '/usr/local/bin/sv -v up qmail';
---
> my ($stopqmail) = '/usr/local/bin/svc -d /service/qmail';
> my ($startqmail) = '/usr/local/bin/svc -u /service/qmail';

< #my ($pidcmd) = 'pidof qmail-send';
< my ($pidcmd) = '/sbin/pidof qmail-send';

> my ($pidcmd) = 'pidof qmail-send';

Referring to the Usage section of the contrib wiki article at http://wiki.contribs.org/Qmhandle_mail_queue_manager,
if you try to delete messages from the queue, qmail may not run/function correctly afterwards.
As instructed you should always stop qmail using the command line BEFORE deleting messages using the server manager qmhandle panel.

Did you check if qmail is running, and did you restart qmail ?

Hi,

thank you jasper and mary for your replies.

I am sorry.  I uninstalled qmHandle and restarted qmail and mails started working again.

I did not check after I deleted some mail from the queue. 

Is it ok to use qmHandle with modification mentioned by jasper on sme8?

Thanks.

I think so, yes

[veeresh]

Hi,

Thanks Mary and Jasper,

Like it is mentioned in the wiki, and as you pointed out,  It was an issue of starting qmail manually after deleting some mails in the queue.

Thanks
