Hello everyone,
My company uses postfix for its mail and the past friday it suddenly stopped working.
The first thing we tried was to restart the server which unfortunately didn't fix the problem.
When i type
So i tried the command
To see what was causing errors, and it turned out to be something called amavisd
Which i think is responsible for spamm control?
I then removed the line;
from the /etc/postfix/main.cf
Which made the mail work again.
But also causes my company to receive lots of spamm mail.
And there are still about 600 mails in the mail que which just will not send they all have the error;
Postfix is running on a CentOS Linux 5.4 system.
Here is an excerpt of the maillog
Anybody have a clue whats going on here?
Let me know if you need more information and please how i can get that information (which command and location).
Im not very good yet with linux so if you could explain things in layman's terms it would be much appreciated
