Starting at some point during the day on July 30, my outgoing emails have been queueing up on my Fedora 19 server with some strange messages: > # mailq > /var/spool/mqueue (1 request) > -----Q-ID----- --Size-- -----Q-Time----- ------------Sender/Recipient----------- > s75EJYwb013189* 3981 Tue Aug 5 10:19 <cummings@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > (Deferred: Connection refused by localhost.localdomain.homeip) > <recipient@xxxxxxxxx> > Total requests: 1 It takes a manual flush (/usr/local/bin/runq, where runq is a script to run: sendmail -q) to send them out. Initially I thought this was a name server problem, but even after adding entries to /etc/hosts for localhost.localdomain.homeip.net (to point to 127.0.0.1) my sent emails keep queueing up and not being sent out. But I can now flush them manually. Any ideas what is wrong? And why is localhost.localdomain being prepended to my local domain name in the mqueue? I'm fairly sure this is my problem. What happened on July 30th? My yum logs show that no updates were applied between July 28 @ 22:46 and August 2 @ 00:50, but my outgoing emails started hanging up on July 29 or 30th.... I have resorted to adding a crontab entry to flush my mailq every 5 minutes in the meantime. -- Kevin J.
