This is my first time sending to this list. Ryan isn't available right now
to help.
Before you have decipher it, let me just say that I barely know what the
heck I'm about. Really. Ryan has this all set up for me and I pretty much
leave it up to him. But I do want to learn more. Anyway, I throw myself at
your mercy... And now on with the question...
My mailserver is no longer processing mail requests. I checked my Linux
Admin for Dummies book and it suggested I telnet into the sendmail daemon
(did I say that right?) and I get this:
[root@tamas dbentson]# telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
I did the only thing I knew how to do which was to reboot the server to see
if sendmail would wake up a bit. After I did a reboot, I telneted to the
linuxbox, su to root, and opened pine to compose a message to myself. When I
go to send, I get a message that says"
[Mail not sent. Sending error: 452 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... Insuf]
I went to my user account (rather than root) and tried to compose a message
there in Pine and got this as soon as I go to compose:
[Checkpoint file failure: No space left on device]
I thought that maybe I had a drive that was too full and there were problems
there. But I don't know how to check the space left on the drive. Or which
drive to check - there are multiple hard drives on this machine. I did mount
and got this:
/dev/hda1 on / type ext2 (rw)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
/dev/hdb1 on /home type ext2 (rw,nosuid,usrquota)
/dev/hdd on /home/ftp type ext2 (rw,nosuid)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,mode=0622)
I know I'm too wordy, but I wanted to be as complete as possible when
looking for some free advice. Thanks for any who reply!
