qmail v 1.03 with the "AOL patch" and Maildir support...was working fine
for months and then:
It's acting very strangely...the queue started out a a couple hundred
emails this morning and is up to about 730 now, for no apparent reason.
Some emails are being delivered and some aren't...I couldn't even
subscribe to this list from my normal account; I had to use a sendmail
box, yet that account is still getting mail from other lists.
I used qmHandle and can see no real pattern as to which emails aren't
working. I've sent qmail-send serveral ALRM signals, rebooted, etc, to no
avail; syslog shows no errors that appear relevant.
the only problems I've had recently are: 2 days ago /var filled up, which
screwed up the syslog and I'm sure didn't help the queue any. I've since
purged the offending logfiles and gotten syslog working again. We also
had a local DNS problem last night and this morning which has been fixed.
I've got a few customers whose outgoing email really needs to be
delivered, but while the ALRM signal doesn't even get qmail to attempt to
deliver their email, although it does for a few, more recent emails.
Any hints/help appreciated!
