psotfix & amavis issue: lost connection with 127.0.0.1

[BoBoeBoe]

I didn't notice that one of my disks was running full and unfortunately it was the one containing /home

I suppose that this is the reason why my mail did get stuck.

I think I have two relevant messages i my logfile

Code: Select all

Aug 17 19:27:13 Aquila amavis[6084]: (06084-01) (!!) TROUBLE in process_request: Can't create directory /var/amavis/tmp/amavis-20070
817T192713-06084: Too many links at /usr/sbin/amavisd line 3961, <GEN6> line 4.

and for each mail that it tries to deliver there is a line like:

Code: Select all

64036/0.01/0/0, dsn=4.4.2, status=deferred (delivery temporarily suspended: lost connection with 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1] while sending 
RCPT TO)

I tried to just dequeue all the messages by

Code: Select all

postsuper -r ALL

but this does not help. After I 've removed a bunch of several thousand directories in the amavis tmp directory I tried it again but it does not work.

What do I need to do to get the queue working again and have the messages that are currently hold delivered?

Thnx

Could you try to execute the following commands:

Code: Select all

find /var/amavis/tmp -type d -name "amavis-*" -or -name "clamav-*" -prune -mtime +20 -exec rm -rf "{}" ";"
find /var/amavis/tmp -name "sa*" -mtime +20 -exec rm "{}" ";"
find /var/amavis/quarantine -name "virus-*" -mtime +20 -exec rm "{}" ";"

If this helped, then consider adding a cron job doing that on a daily basis.
