This is the 4th time I've installed courier-mta, but the first time I've installed it on gentoo. Everything seemed to work as it would authenticate me via PAM or mysql, but it failed when it came to sending email. I used telnet to connect to port 25 and see what was happening:
Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. 220 somewherestrange.com ESMTP HELO somewherestrange.com 250 somewherestrange.com Ok. MAIL FROM:<AN-EMAIL-ADDRESS> 250 Ok. RCPT TO:<AN-EMAIL-ADDRESS> 431 Mail system full. As this is a fresh install I couldn't believe it, but I checked my disk usage: Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hde2 490023 23988 440733 6% / /dev/vg1/home 85980604 33240 85947364 1% /home /dev/vg1/var 5242716 57268 5185448 2% /var /dev/vg1/opt 1048540 32840 1015700 4% /opt /dev/vg1/usr 10485436 1056264 9429172 11% /usr /dev/vg1/tmp 524268 32840 491428 7% /tmp none 127888 0 127888 0% /dev/shm Which is plenty of space on /var and /tmp. However I did find an mailing-list post from another person with the same problem and it turned out he was fine for space, but out of inodes (but from what I know reiserfs doesn't use inodes). But I checked the inodes anyway: Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on /dev/hde2 126976 6372 120604 6% / /dev/vg1/home 0 0 0 - /home <-- reiserfs /dev/vg1/var 0 0 0 - /var <-- reiserfs /dev/vg1/opt 0 0 0 - /opt <-- reiserfs /dev/vg1/usr 0 0 0 - /usr <-- reiserfs /dev/vg1/tmp 0 0 0 - /tmp <-- reiserfs none 31972 1 31971 1% /dev/shm No problem there. I'm stumped. I have no idea why my smtp daemon would be telling me that the mail system is full. Has anyone out there got any ideas what else could cause this error? -- -James ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
