Hi all. I run a local mail server with a fairly standard setup: Fetchmail -> sendmail ->procmail -> spamd -> Maildir -> dovecot IMAP. Everything worked fine until around 1345 local time Sunday. Ever since then, fetchmail has been dumping all mail into /var/spool/mail/<username> and there it stays. The rest of the chain isn't firing. procmail is configured to write to a log file in my home directory (pm.log) and that is not being written. Nothing has been written to /var/log/mail since August 28th (when I upgraded to oS 11.4) so that is no help. I have tried logging out of KDE and even restarting the machine (which I rarely do - uptimes of >180 days are not uncommon) but to no avail. I'm completely stumped as to why it was working fine and then suddenly stopped with no intervention. I haven't even installed any updates in the last week or so. I'd appreciate any pointers as to where to look next. Fetchmail is working fine, as I said, but nothing gets past /var/spool/mail/<username>. When it was working fine, nothing went into this directory, let alone stayed there. What has broken and why? (Yes, I know that is an almost impossible question but at least if I knew where to look it would help). ps -eaf | grep 'mail' says: root 4501 1 0 Oct09 ? 00:00:01 sendmail: accepting connections 110 5765 1 0 18:22 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/fetchmail -d 90 -a -f /etc/fetchmailrc -L /var/log/fetchmail user 6023 5805 0 18:33 pts/0 00:00:00 grep mail mail 8214 1 0 Oct09 ? 00:00:00 sendmail: Queue control mail 8215 8214 0 Oct09 ? 00:00:01 sendmail: running queue: /var/spool/clientmqueue use> 17700 17663 0 Oct09 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/akonadi_maildir_resource --identifier akonadi_maildir_resource_0 user 17701 17663 0 Oct09 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/akonadi_maildispatcher_agent --identifier akonadi_maildispatcher_agent user 21579 1 0 Oct09 ? 00:00:40 /usr/bin/kmail -caption KMail user 21580 17538 0 Oct09 ? 00:00:05 kdeinit4: kio_imap4 [kdeinit] imap local:/tmp/ksocket-user/klauncherT17539.slave-socket local:/tmp/ksocket- user/kmaile21579.slave-socket user 21581 17538 0 Oct09 ? 00:00:01 kdeinit4: kio_imap4 [kdeinit] imap local:/tmp/ksocket-user/klauncherT17539.slave-socket local:/tmp/ksocket- user/kmaily21579.slave-socket Thanks in advance, Rodney. -- =================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@iinet.net.au =================================================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
