I've recently enabled the built-in mail services on Panther server
(POP/IMAP, Squirrel) and am finding that mail-related processes are killing
themselves off every few hours. Just after enabling Mail service in Server
Admin:
$ ps aux | grep postfix
postfix 10140 0.0 0.1 27520 732 ?? S 4:00PM 0:00.46 pickup
-l -t fifo -u
postfix 10141 0.0 0.2 27556 1092 ?? S 4:00PM 0:02.36 qmgr -l
-t fifo -u
postfix 10146 0.0 0.1 27524 760 ?? S 4:00PM 0:00.10
trivial-rewrite -n rewrite -t unix -u
postfix 10323 0.0 0.2 27592 812 ?? S 4:00PM 0:00.27 cleanup
-z -t unix -u
postfix 11025 0.0 0.1 27552 764 ?? S 4:01PM 0:00.12 pipe -n
cyrus -t unix user=cyrus argv=/usr/bin/cyrus/bin/deliver -e -r ${sender} -m
${extension} ${us
postfix 11204 0.0 0.1 27492 688 ?? S 4:06PM 0:00.03
proxymap -t unix -u
postfix 11246 0.0 0.2 27616 884 ?? S 4:07PM 0:00.01 local
-t unix
postfix 11271 0.0 0.2 27600 864 ?? S 4:08PM 0:00.02 smtpd
-n smtp -t inet -u
A few hours later, just a few of these are listed. An hour or two later,
none of them are running, and no mail can be received.
System.log contains hundreds of these:
Apr 27 16:00:17 rosebud deliver[10245]: connect(/var/imap/socket/lmtp)
failed: Connection refused
And a couple of these:
Apr 27 15:57:06 rosebud postfix/postfix-script: fatal: the Postfix mail
system is not running
I see one of these around the time of the last restart of mail services:
Apr 27 16:00:51 rosebud ctl_cyrusdb[10139]: done recovering cyrus databases
I have no idea where to start looking for the culprit here. Suggestions very
welcome.
Thanks,
Scot
