[Ilya Vishnyakov]

Hello POSTFIX GURUS I'm getting this in the mailq:

A6FB9552C6C 957 Tue Feb 13 10:20:35 ***@server.com
(connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]: Connection
refused)
***@server.com

grep A6FB9552C6C /var/log/maillog
produces this:

Feb 13 11:11:17 postfix/smtp[1022]: A6FB9552C6C: to=<***@server.com>,
orig_to=<root>, relay=none, delay=3042, delays=3042/0/0.01/0,
dsn=4.4.1, status=deferred (connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:
Connection refused)

I restarted postfix and did postsuper -r ALL
however, emails still sit in there.

i restarted amavisd:

Odd, I have no idea why Postfix would think otherwise, then.
% postfix flush
doesn't help?

What is the max_children setting for amavisd-new in your amavisd.conf?

After postfix flush i noticed this in /var/log/maillog

And then I all of the sudden I received all pending emails. However,
this problem might resurface....?

Clamd is running? You probably have a permission problem with that
socket

Search harder :)= But I guess 5 > 2 :)

I'm sorry is this what you mean?

$max_servers = 5; # number of pre-forked children (2..15 is
common)
