Hi there,

I'm having problems where mail seems to be queuing for no obvious reason. Bandwith seems fine.

These are appearing in the realtime log:


Nov 19 12:10:28 bounce 5831 fatal: epoll_create: Too many open files
Nov 19 12:10:29 master 3251 warning: process /usr/lib/postfix/bounce pid 5831 exit status 1
Nov 19 12:10:29 master 3251 warning: /usr/lib/postfix/bounce: bad command startup -- throttling

Nov 19 12:11:00 lmtp 5852 fatal: epoll_create: Too many open files
Nov 19 12:11:01 master 3251 warning: process /usr/lib/postfix/lmtp pid 5852 exit status 1
Nov 19 12:11:01 master 3251 warning: /usr/lib/postfix/lmtp: bad command startup -- throttling

Any ideas?

Thanks!
 
also..... if there is a large amount of mail queued for a particular domain, is there any way of deleting just the e-mail for that domain from the queue?
 
its running on a dell 1800 server, not virtualised.

sorry for my ignorance, but how do I export the syslogs?

the error appeared every minute or so, for about an hour. I was having issues with a large amount of spam mail queued trying to go out from inside.

Hence my other question, is there a way of deleting mail sitting in outbound queue going to a particular domain, rather than a blanket delete all?

use 'scp' to copy it, then zip and send via email.

you can use the 'mailq' command to get a list of all queued main. You can delete specific mails with postsuper command ("man postsuper"). Do delete all mails to a particular domain you need to do some scripting.
