Hi all,
I run Postfix 2.0.16 on Solaris 9.
Until last weekend, everything has been running fine, but after
installing the latest Sun Alert Patch Cluster, it stopped delivering
mail.
This wasn't a huge issue as it's only a satellite server, feeding cron
and root messages to our main mail server.
However, as soon as the patch cluster went in, I got the following errors:
("hostname" replaces actual hostname)
Jul 8 20:52:39 hostname postfix/smtp[3807]: [ID 293258 mail.error]
libsldap: Status: 91 Mesg: openConnection: failed to connect using
TLS (No such file or directory)
Jul 8 20:52:39 hostname postfix/master[17350]: [ID 947731
mail.warning] warning: process /usr/libexec/postfix/smtp pid 3807
killed by signal 10
Jul 8 20:52:39 hostname postfix/master[17350]: [ID 947731
mail.warning] warning: /usr/libexec/postfix/smtp: bad command startup
-- throttling
The first line is there for complete disclosure and has always
happened (I'll look into that eventually :)
The real issue is that the smtp command is getting killed. None of the
parameters or config had changed during the patch.
I added -v to the end of smtp in the master.cf and did didn't increase
the verbosity of these errors. Just as soon as an email is ready to be
sent, postfix tries to run the smtp command, and it dies.
So my next step was to enable debugging in main.cf by way of
"debug_peer_list = domainname".
Well, it spat out lots of info to the logs, but no errors. It did,
however include a bunch of delivery messages. say what? yes folks, you
read that right. Turning on debug mode fixed the problem.
Downside is that if I turn debug mode back off, mail stops working. So
now I'm settling for more logs over no mail delivery.
If anyone has encountered this, please enlighten me, as it's driving
me batty. I figured this mailing list is probably more appropriate
than the postfix list as this seems to a fault spawned from Solaris
patches. If I have no joy here, I'll move to the Postfix list. :)
Thanks a lot
