Scalix Forums

my Scalix server has been running for well over a month and all of a sudden I cannot reveive any email. I am running on the latest CentOS and did an update on Saturday but it was running fine up untill this afternoon.

here is some info from /var/log/mail showing the problem, everything is being refused

Oct 9 22:46:11 mail sendmail[6483]: k9A2k4IX006483: from=<antalkalis@northcarolinabed.com>, size=3883, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<000001c6ec15$23755c00$0100007f@localhost>, proto=ESMTP, relay=root@localhost
Oct 9 22:46:11 mail sendmail[6483]: k9A2k4IX006483: to=<SOMEUSER@karibe.com>, delay=00:00:07, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=33883, relay=[127.0.0.1] [127.0.0.1], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Connection refused by [127.0.0.1]

I was searching the forums and someone wanted to see the results of lsof -i :25.

[root@mail gene]# lsof -i :25
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME
omsmtpd 3508 root 3u IPv4 14022 TCP mail.karibe.com:smtp->24-178-119-211.dhcp.nwnn.ga.charter.com:3457 (ESTABLISHED)
omsmtpd 3508 root 4u IPv4 7353 TCP mail.karibe.com:smtp (LISTEN)

I have no idea where 24-178-119-211.dhcp.nwnn.ga.charter.com:3457 (ESTABLISHED) is coming from but I checked with DNSSTUFF.COM and the ip address shows up in a spam database lookup.


I checked all my config files and nothing looks out of the ordinary

ALL HELP IS APPRECIATED!!!

With that lsof command you should see that sendmail is listening on localhost. So it looks like sendmail went down, just fire it back up and you should be ok.

sendmail was listening on port 26. Don't know how it got chnaged but it took a while to track it down.

Thanks for the help..
