Hello,
I am not sure which list is the most appropriate, so I'm posting this
to webobjects-dev and macos-x-server....
We're experiencing a strange problem on one of our XServes running
10.4 Server:
the machine is our primary mail server, and also wanted to run our
webobjects application on it.
the other day I logged into it via ssh and started womonitor and
wotaskd using launchctl from the command line. The next day the
server was restarted, and after that, email stopped working. All
emails coming in from the outside were refused with this error in
mail.log:
Apr 30 10:32:42 cf postfix/smtp[426]: connect to 127.0.0.1
[127.0.0.1]: Connection refused (port 10024)
Apr 30 10:32:42 cf postfix/smtp[426]: EECA01FDC2DB:
to=<email@hidden>, relay=none, delay=1, status=deferred (connect
to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]: Conne\
ction refused)
It turns out that amavis (part of the antivirus mail tools bundled
with OS X Server was no longer starting properly. The error on
startup was this:
Apr 30 10:27:09 cf launchd: org.amavis.amavisd: respawning too
quickly! throttling
Apr 30 10:27:09 cf launchd: org.amavis.amavisd: 9 more failures
without living at least 60 seconds will cause job removal
Apr 30 10:27:09 cf launchd: org.amavis.amavisd: will restart in 10
seconds
In amavis.log I see this:
Apr 30 10:27:08 cf.benisch.net.benisch.net /usr/bin/amavisd[53]:

We disabled the antivirus stuff for email and receive mail now, but
we still see smtp-amavis errors in mail.log and some recipients never
get our mail.
Has anyone else had this issue, or even better solved it? Its making
us kind of crazy. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Greg
