3.0.0.9 Postfix Queue Not Processing

[irow]

After updating to 3.0.0.9 from 3.0.0.8, my Postfix queue is not processing inbound or outbound messages. Any suggestions?

[shawniverson]

Rebooted, right?

[irow]

Yes, rebooted a few times. I'm not seeing anything in particular in the logs.

[shawniverson]

Postfix running?

[DaN]

Any informations in the log files?

[irow]

Which log files should I look at for this?

I solved this issue. Here's what happened:

The error in this log entry turned out to be the issue:

Code: Select all

EFA postfix/qmgr[1653]: fatal: parameter queue_run_delay: bad time value or unit: 180smeta_directory = /etc/postfix

I edited the configuration file at: /etc/postfix/main.cf

I edited the line: queue_run_delay = 180smeta_directory = /etc/postfix
by dividing it into two lines:
queue_run_delay = 180s
meta_directory = /etc/postfix

I restarted postfix and the queue ran.

Log files can be wonderful, especially when they show you the errors.

Very nice!
