Hi all,

I'm not too familiar with postfix but our server seems to stop sending emails 
usually only on the weekends. The rest of the week it's fine but once it gets 
to about Saturday/Sunday morning it gets stuck. I've come in usually on Monday 
and type "mailq" only to find hundreds if not thousand or so emails stuck in 
the incoming queue. I have to restart the postfix service for all the emails to 
get sent.

I was hoping someone a little more experienced than me can point me in the 
right direction and explain what's going on as I'm not that familiar with it 
yet. I'm sure I'm not the first to have this issue and I've searched online but 
have found nothing specific that could be causing this. This is what "cat 
/var/log/maillog | grep warning" shows:

Dec 11 05:09:19 batch-ca4-02 postfix/cleanup[31691]: warning: timeout on 
cleanup socket while reading input attribute name
Dec 11 05:31:27 batch-ca4-02 postfix/cleanup[31691]: warning: 8A2993E3003B: 
read timeout on cleanup socket

Here is my postconf -n:

alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
command_directory = /usr/sbin
config_directory = /etc/postfix
daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix
debug_peer_level = 2
html_directory = no
in_flow_delay = 10s
inet_interfaces = localhost
mail_owner = postfix
mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq.postfix
manpage_directory = /usr/share/man
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost
mydomain = usaepay.com
myorigin = $mydomain
newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases.postfix
queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix
readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.3.3/README_FILES
relayhost = 192.168.x.x
sample_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.3.3/samples
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix
setgid_group = postdrop
unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550

Can anyone please help?? If I need to submit more info please let me know. 
Thank you!
