Hi, I'm running a website in a vps that has installed Kloxo with qmailtoaster. We were having some problems with our mails being reported as spam, and when I logged into our control panel to check this noticed that we had thousands of mails in our mail queue (that apparently were being sent from a test account that I made with a "test" password... bad idea). I tried deleting the queue from the Kloxo interface, but it was pointless since I could only delete about 320 mails by step, so without much thinking I deleted the /var/qmail/queue folder. After that I noticed that the mail queue list was indeed empty now, but that I couldn't send or receive mails.
I ran this script to rebuild the subdirectories that I deleted by mistake http://support.godaddy.com/help/246/how-do-i-rebuild-qmails-queue-if-it-is-damaged-or-consists-of-a-lot-of-spam-messagesbut after restating the server or changing everything to 777 nothing seems to work. I have been trying to solve this problem searching online for about 3 hours without any progress, so I'm recurring to this mailing list as my last hope. I deleted the logs after I deleted our queue, our current "smtp.log" file is full of lines like this from mail I'm trying to send to our website: CHKUSER accepted rcpt: from <cd_bl...@hotmail.com::> remote <:blu0-omc1-s27.blu0.hotmail.com:65.55.116.38> rcpt <a...@nanofate.us> : found existing recipient qmail-smtpd: qq soft reject (qq trouble creating files in queue (#4.3.0)): MAILFROM:<cd_bl...@hotmail.com> RCPTTO:a...@nanofate.us CHKUSER accepted rcpt: from <cd_bl...@hotmail.com::> remote <:blu0-omc1-s11.blu0.hotmail.com:65.55.116.22> rcpt <a...@nanofate.us> : found existing recipient qmail-dk:[3290]: Dying due to write operation error (disk full?). qmail-smtpd: qq soft reject (qq write error or disk full (#4.3.0)): MAILFROM:<cd_bl...@hotmail.com> RCPTTO:a...@nanofate.us CHKUSER accepted rcpt: from <cd_bl...@hotmail.com::> remote <:blu0-omc1-s23.blu0.hotmail.com:65.55.116.34> rcpt <a...@nanofate.us> : found existing recipient qmail-smtpd: qq soft reject (qq trouble creating files in queue (#4.3.0)): MAILFROM:<cd_bl...@hotmail.com> RCPTTO:a...@nanofate.us "mailog" is filled with lines like this, I think they must be spam bots or something trying to send mail from the account I deleted: May 3 00:08:47 nanofate vpopmail[1760]: vchkpw-smtp: vpopmail user not found t...@nanofate.us:123.162.232.100 May 3 00:08:48 nanofate qmail: 1335989328.011946 alert: cannot start: unable to open mutex May 3 00:10:02 nanofate vpopmail[3171]: vchkpw-smtp: vpopmail user not found t...@nanofate.us:110.52.6.56 May 3 00:10:08 nanofate vpopmail[3188]: vchkpw-smtp: vpopmail user not found t...@nanofate.us:110.52.6.56 May 3 00:10:10 nanofate vpopmail[3198]: vchkpw-smtp: vpopmail user not found t...@nanofate.us:219.159.197.61 Also, apparently we still have plenty of free space in our vps, so I think that shouldn't be the problem: df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/simfs 20G 6.4G 14G 32% / none 512M 4.0K 512M 1% /dev /dev/simfs 20G 6.4G 14G 32% /var/named/chroot/var/run/dbus Thanks in advance for your time.
