Hello list,

Postfix is dying on one of my servers almost nightly. This system is running CentOS5 with postfix-2.3.3-2.

In the morning (after noticing it died) I try to run `service postfix stop` and I get a failed start. Running `ps ax | grep postfix` I can see one process still running for postfix. After killing this, I am able to run `service postfix start`.

Which process is it? smtpd? master?


I see a lot of this in my maillog:

Nov 7 00:25:13 servername postfix/smtpd[16723]: warning: connect to private/anvil: Resource temporarily unavailable Nov 7 00:25:13 servername postfix/smtpd[16723]: warning: problem talking to server private/anvil: Resource temporarily unavailable

TIA for any suggestions.


I cannot work out when postfix 2.3.3 was released...there was a bugfix related to anvil in Dec 2005 and I am using 2.3.5 without this particular problem. Speaking of which, it is time for me to upgrade to 2.3.13 or the latest 2.4.x . You might want to turn on debugging to find out what is going on with anvil.
