Postfix is dying on one of my servers almost nightly. This system is running CentOS5 with postfix-2.3.3-2.

In the morning (after noticing it died) I try to run `service postfix stop` and I get a failed start. Running `ps ax | grep postfix` I can see one process still running for postfix. After killing this, I am able to run `service postfix start`.

Which process is it? smtpd? master?

Master


Do you sometimes find anvil missing? I wonder if you can strace master and see what it is doing or waiting for...

I'll have to check the next time postfix dies. I'll run an strace on the process too. If anyone else has any suggestions, I would really appreciate it.
