Hi everybody,
Friday night, we had a problem with our Amavisd-new/Postfix
smtp gateway. Its been running without any problems since November
2006. We are utilizing the tmpfs filesystem as described here:
http://www.arschkrebs.de/postfix/amavisd_tmpfs.shtml
Friday night, this tmpfs filesystem filled up. We run amavisd-new
with max_servers set to 7. We created our tmpfs directory with 312MB.
When we discovered the problem Saturday morning, what we noticed was
that there were thousands of dead tmp files in /var/amavis/tmp.
(Usually there are no more than 7). This had filled up the tmpfs and
caused Amavisd-New to quit processing messages.
I've dug through the mailing list archives and seen a very similar
issue back in 2005:
http://groups.google.com/group/mailing.unix.amavis-user/tree/browse_frm/thread/ba6195cb1fbc1ab4/
That thread seems to suggest that Convert::UUlib might be the issue. I
am more than willing to upgrade Convert::UUlib if needed. I'm just
wanting to ensure that this is indeed the issue. Has anybody had this
problem? If so, how was it fixed? My logs seem to point elsewhere:
-- begin snip --
Feb 9 20:31:59 gw1.machlink.com amavis[11299]: (11299-03) (!!)
TROUBLE in check_mail: mime_decode-1 FAILED: MIME::Parser: can't
close: No space left on device at /usr/share/perl5/MIME/Parser.pm line
834.
-- end snip --
Here are the details of our setup:
Debian 3.1 (stable)
Postfix 2.3.6
Amavisd-New 2.4.2
ClamAV 0.88.7
SpamAssassin 3.1.7
Convert::UUlib 1.051
MIME Tools 5:417
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bryan Walton
