need some serious help.

Post by joshk »

I have completely messed up haha. I loaded the EFA got it filtering but could never get the mysql to login from webmin and then now I cannot login to the mailwatch. I ended up just logging into mysqld through shell and changing the password to mysql and now the webmin connects to the mysql but still no mailwatch login. and i changed the password in the efa-config..... I am at a loss and the filter is in place and filtering for 3 domains.... anyways any help is greatly appreciated. Should i just start over?

So I figured out where I was wrong. Now I am curious as to why so many of my emails are getting connection refused from the mail server..... I will post an error report from the mail log.

6767560A7D: to=<********************>, relay=none, delay=980, delays=949/0/30/0, dsn=4.4.1, status=deferred (connect to mail.example.com[mail.example.com]:25: Connection timed out)
Sep 24 11:32:09 efilter postfix/smtp[17193]: connect to mail.example.com[mail.example.com]:25: Connection timed out

I believe this is because the email its trying to send to is not real. Is there a way I can make it delete them and not sit in the queue. I have removed the email address and server ip address.

Yes, you can flush the queue. Very easy to do with Webmin.

Head over to the Postfix module, find the queue and, delete the offending emails from the queue.
