Hi everyone,

today I've noticed a problem with the ossec-maild process.
The ossec.log keeps saying

ossec-maild(1223): ERROR: Error Sending email to 127.0.0.1 (smtp server)

Of course I started troubleshooting the problem and tried to send several 
test-emails from the ossec master.
I'm using ssmtp through my google-mail account by the way.
All test mails that I sent arrived immediately, so sending mails through my 
MTA seems to work as usual.

Then I checked the mail log /var/log/maillog-20151220
which to my surprise has the latest mail entry from yesterday 19:30
Dec 19 19:30:03 tron sSMTP[3943]: Sent mail for [email protected] (221 2.0.0 
closing connection u126sm11888435wme.3 - gsmtp) uid=48 username=apache 
outbytes=1898

changed the email address to [email protected] for demonstration purposes...


at least the two test emails that I just send should appear in this log, 
right?

I know that the root cause to this problem is NOT an ossec problem....but 
maybe you have an idea what the problem might be?
I've checked the quota settings in my gmail account, (so far only 10% 
used...) 
I've also checked the disk space on my ossec master, still 21GB left on / 
(where also /var is mounted)

so I doubt it's a quota or diskspace problem.
i've also restarted (stopped and started) ossec, to see if any zombie 
processes still allocated the filesystem, and it therefore showed that 
plenty of diskspace was available.
but even after the restart of ossec it still shows that it has plenty of 
diskspace available.

any other ideas how I could troubleshoot this problem?

thanks,
theresa
