I had an incident with a runaway Perl script last night which jacked load averages up towards 18 and 19 and gummed things up quite a bit. (Among other things, it stopped accepting SSH connections.) I got it cleaned up this morning, and it's accepting SSH again, but mail is behaving oddly.
It accepts SMTP connections and queues the mail. But it isn't delivering the mail. The queue just gets longer and longer.
I have tried `postfix reload' and `postfix flush'; neither have produced any errors to speak of, but they haven't solved the problem, either.
Watch your /var/log/maillog to see where the delivery is failing. If you're running SpamAssassin, Amavis, or one of the other content checkers, it's possible they've died and Postfix is unable to deliver them to the socket.
On this system, I'm doing most of the anti-spam with RBLs and Postfix's internal restrictions (SpamAssassin runs on the primary MX.) So nothing in there.
I got a suggestion off-list about how to try a harder restart for postfix, and managed to get it running using the basics:
`postfix stop' `postfix start'
...and it looks like it's running again.
Thanks,
