Can anyone explain these weird error messages? I have just started playing with postfix, and it's not bad, but this seems to be a weird glitch. I was testing the limits of message size, both of postfix and a couple of third party mail providers, and came up with this log. Dec 27 14:35:32 fw postfix/master[541]: warning: file size limit 524288000 < message_size_limit 1024000000 -- reset Now, I have looked at http://www.postfix.org/resource.html#size and I HAVE increased the Message Size Limit as this log states, but I can't figure out how to increase the file size limit... Also I would LOVE to know how to stop postfix from listening on a port, but still process the queue. Currently I have told postfix to listen on localhost only, and have Obtuse SMTPD listening on all other interfaces... This works fine, but is a bit of a hack. You should be able to stop it from listening totally like you can with sendmail. (Note, you can do this, but then it fails to process the mail queue...) If anyone can help me with this, to save me from subscribing to the postfix mailing list..... Would be much appreciated. Kurt? I seem to remember you being a postfix monkey?? (Bah.. really I just wanted to post something to the list to see if everyone is still alive!!! Is it only ME who is working between xmas and new year or are there other idiots out there too???) /me stops playing with postfix and gets back to work... -Nix Dec 27 13:33:14 fw postfix/cleanup[426]: 3DDA3823E: message-id=<5.0.2.1.0.20001227130542.02f9cda8@mail.itaudit.com.au> Dec 27 13:35:59 fw postfix/smtpd[425]: disconnect from unknown[172.20.1.8] Dec 27 13:35:59 fw postfix/qmgr[402]: 3DDA3823E: from=, size=124216353 (queue active) Dec 27 14:35:32 fw postfix/master[541]: warning: file size limit 524288000 < message_size_limit 1024000000 -- reset Dec 27 14:35:32 fw postfix-script: stopping the Postfix mail system Dec 27 14:35:32 fw postfix/master[400]: terminating on signal 15 Dec 27 14:35:32 fw postfix/master[551]: warning: file size limit 524288000 < message_size_limit 1024000000 -- reset Dec 27 14:35:35 fw postfix-script: starting the Postfix mail system Dec 27 14:35:35 fw postfix/master[597]: warning: file size limit 524288000 < message_size_limit 1024000000 -- reset Dec 27 14:35:35 fw postfix/master[597]: daemon started Dec 27 14:52:15 fw postfix/qmgr[599]: 3DDA3823E: from=, size=124216353 (queue active) Dec 27 17:14:53 fw postfix/smtpd[864]: connect from localhost[127.0.0.1] Dec 27 17:15:15 fw postfix/smtpd[864]: warning: Illegal address syntax from localhost[127.0.0.1] in VRFY command: hs;ldfkj Dec 27 17:18:13 fw postfix/smtpd[864]: disconnect from localhost[127.0.0.1] Dec 27 17:25:16 fw postfix/master[904]: warning: file size limit 524288000 < message_size_limit 1024000000 -- reset Dec 27 17:25:16 fw postfix-script: stopping the Postfix mail system Dec 27 17:25:16 fw postfix/master[597]: terminating on signal 15 Dec 27 17:25:16 fw postfix/master[914]: warning: file size limit 524288000 < message_size_limit 1024000000 -- reset Dec 27 17:25:16 fw postfix-script: starting the Postfix mail system Dec 27 17:25:17 fw postfix/master[956]: warning: file size limit 524288000 < message_size_limit 1024000000 -- reset Dec 27 17:25:17 fw postfix/master[956]: daemon started Dec 27 17:41:57 fw postfix/qmgr[958]: 3DDA3823E: from=, size=124216353 (queue active) Dec 27 17:42:34 fw postfix/master[1003]: warning: file size limit 524288000 < message_size_limit 1024000000 -- reset Dec 27 17:42:34 fw postfix-script: stopping the Postfix mail system Dec 27 17:42:34 fw postfix/master[956]: terminating on signal 15 Dec 27 17:42:34 fw postfix/master[1013]: warning: file size limit 524288000 < message_size_limit 1024000000 -- reset Dec 27 17:42:35 fw postfix-script: starting the Postfix mail system Dec 27 17:42:35 fw postfix/master[1055]: warning: file size limit 524288000 < message_size_limit 1024000000 -- reset Dec 27 17:42:35 fw postfix/master[1055]: daemon started Dec 27 17:59:15 fw postfix/qmgr[1057]: 3DDA3823E: from=, size=124216353 (queue active) Dec 27 21:10:22 fw postfix/smtp[1081]: 3DDA3823E: to=, relay=mail.paulsjourney.com[64.65.2.56], delay=27428, status=sent (250 ok 977915228 qp 4515) Dec 28 00:00:10 fw postfix/pickup[1459]: 13579823E: uid=0 from=<root> Dec 28 00:00:10 fw postfix/cleanup[1823]: 13579823E: message-id=<20001227230009.13579823E@fw.fallen.com.au> Dec 28 00:00:10 fw postfix/qmgr[1057]: 13579823E: from=, size=976 (queue active) Dec 28 00:00:11 fw postfix/local[1827]: 13579823E: to=, relay=local, delay=2, status=sent (mailbox) Dec 28 00:00:11 fw postfix/cleanup[1823]: 705088240: message-id=<20001227230009.13579823E@fw.fallen.com.au> Dec 28 00:00:11 fw postfix/qmgr[1057]: 705088240: from=, size=1108 (queue active) Dec 28 00:00:11 fw postfix/local[1827]: 13579823E: to=, relay=local, delay=2, status=sent (forwarded as 705088240) Dec 28 00:00:14 fw postfix/smtp[1828]: 705088240: to=, relay=inbound.nixon.net.criticalpath.net[209.228.32.54], delay=3, status=sent (250 ok 977925489 qp 21788) Dec 28 00:01:46 fw postfix/pickup[1459]: 8FF6A823E: uid=0 from=<root> Dec 28 00:01:46 fw postfix/cleanup[1823]: 8FF6A823E: message-id=<20001227230146.8FF6A823E@fw.fallen.com.au> Dec 28 00:01:46 fw postfix/qmgr[1057]: 8FF6A823E: from=, size=1531 (queue active) Dec 28 00:01:46 fw postfix/local[1827]: warning: biff_notify: Connection refused Dec 28 00:01:46 fw postfix/local[1827]: 8FF6A823E: to=, relay=local, delay=0, status=sent (mailbox) Dec 28 00:01:46 fw postfix/cleanup[1823]: 94A6E8240: message-id=<20001227230146.8FF6A823E@fw.fallen.com.au> Dec 28 00:01:46 fw postfix/qmgr[1057]: 94A6E8240: from=, size=1662 (queue active) Dec 28 00:01:46 fw postfix/local[1827]: 8FF6A823E: to=, relay=local, delay=0, status=sent (forwarded as 94A6E8240) Dec 28 00:01:49 fw postfix/smtp[1828]: 94A6E8240: to=, relay=inbound.nixon.net.criticalpath.net[209.228.32.54], delay=3, status=sent (250 ok 977925584 qp 22400) You have moved your mouse.
