Topic: Mail loop from root to root?

[holck]

I seem to have run in to some kind of mail loop. Every 5 minutes or so, the pattern below repeats itself. There are no mails stuck in the qmail queue. I can't find out where the messages are located. Any advice appreciated

Code: [Select]

Is there a cron job running that might be sending notifications?
  less /var/log/cron

(I see _daily_ log entries similar to  yours in /var/log/qmail/current on my system which appear to be generated by "logwatch")

Do these files have any more information?
  /var/log/qpsmtpd/current
  /var/log/sqpsmtpd/current

Is there anything in /var/log/messages at the same time(s) as the qmail log entries?

Is there anything interesting in the Maildir for admin?
  cd /home/e-smith/Maildir
  find .

Can you find the emails using something like this?
  find / -ctime -1 -type f -name "*$(config get SystemName)*"


If all else fails, does some process log errors if you stop the qmail service for 10 - 15 minutes?
