Hi there, I am running a fresh install of FreeBSD 8.0, with Postfix 2.8-20100306, amavisd-new, SA like MTA, besides Squid and Bind DNS.
It was running as secondary MX, and not sending mails -besides bounces- for a week or so since install without problems. Yesterday, I set it up like gateway for the Outgoing mails. But a couple of hours later, I got the alert of SMTP down. Other services were OK ( Squid & DNS ) but Postfix was 'dead'. The reload command said OK, but no way. postfix stop didn't worked. The log showed: --------------------- 197382-Mar 15 19:03:49 fobos amavis[10328]: (10328-01-204) (!!)file(1) utility (/usr/local/bin/file) FAILED: timed out 197383-Mar 15 19:04:24 fobos amavis[10328]: (10328-01-204) (!)rw_loop: leaving rw loop, no progress, last event (select) 35.002 s ago 197384-Mar 15 19:04:24 fobos amavis[10328]: (10328-01-204) (!)FWD via SMTP: <anchima...@gesell.com.ar> -> <julian_15_2...@hotmail.com>,<julianafmul...@hotmail.com>,<julianlopre...@hotmail.com>,<julianrmen...@hotmail.com>,<juliansay...@hotmail.com>, 451 4.5.0 From MTA([127.0.0.1]:10025) during fwd-connect (Negative greeting: at (eval 113) line 596.): id=10328-01-204 197385-Mar 15 19:04:24 fobos amavis[10328]: (10328-01-204) Blocked MTA-BLOCKED, [201.252.227.11] [201.251.146.49] <anchima...@gesell.com.ar> -> <julian_15_2...@hotmail.com>,<julianafmul...@hotmail.com>,<julianlopre...@hotmail.com>,<julianrmen...@hotmail.com>,<juliansay...@hotmail.com>, Message-ID: <005a01cac486$7ba8eb10$72fac1...@com.ar>, mail_id: PCIf41G4vjsP, Hits: 3.808, size: 414043, 516904 ms 197386-Mar 15 19:05:57 fobos postfix/qmgr[24106]: 8A0C6114560: from=<anchima...@gesell.com.ar>, size=414703, nrcpt=5 (queue active) 197387-Mar 15 19:09:07 fobos postfix/scache[8393]: statistics: start interval Mar 15 18:59:06 197388-Mar 15 19:09:07 fobos postfix/scache[8393]: statistics: domain lookup hits=69 miss=144 success=32% 197389-Mar 15 19:09:07 fobos postfix/scache[8393]: statistics: address lookup hits=49 miss=7874 success=0% 197390-Mar 15 19:09:07 fobos postfix/scache[8393]: statistics: max simultaneous domains=3 addresses=5 connection=7 197391-Mar 15 19:12:24 fobos amavis[10328]: (10328-01-204) (!)Requesting process rundown, task exceeded allowed time during waiting for input from client 197392:Mar 15 19:22:36 fobos postfix/qmgr[24106]: fatal: watchdog timeout --------------------- Any idea what's going on?
