Hello all
Currently I am working in a live production environment with 100+ Solaris servers . The environment has one DNS server and one SMTP server.
The problem that I am facing since the past 2 months is that the /var/spool/mqueue on my DNS server keeps getting full i.e. mails with name starting with qfr & dfr keeping on gathering up and I have to manually go and delete these mails.
Some sample outputs of these mail files are given below:
It seems that the issue is somewhat related to crons.
Does anyone know how I can get rid of such mails ? I have to empty the /var/spool/mqueue directory every 7-8 hours since the number of mails reaches 50,000 +
I keep having this msg on my SunOS console :
Jun 29 08:57:40 bersimis sendmail: NOQUEUE: low on space (have 0, SMTP-DAEMON needs 101 in /var/spool/mqueue)
I tried to make some space by deleting the files in it, but the msg came back ...
Any tips ?
Thanks (3 Replies)

How can i get my mail on either /var/spool/mail or /var/mail?

Hello,
I have a bunch of cron jobs in the crontab. For some reason mail from the cron jobs started going to /var/spool/mqueue instead of being sent.
Does anyone know why mail from cron jobs would go to the queue instead of being sent? (9 Replies)
Hi, We have some 2-3 Solaris 9 servers with the following issue.
For every cron job which has email notifications, it is sending the emails, but it create files at /var/spool/clientmqueue/ which has similar contents.

snnewgroup.v0.3.8(8) System Manager's Manual snnewgroup.v0.3.8(8)NAME
snnewgroup - create a new sn newsgroup
SYNOPSIS
snnewgroup newsgroup [server] [port]
DESCRIPTION
snnewgroup creates newsgroup assigning it an upstream NNTP server of server:port. If port is not specified, defaults to 119. If server is
also not specified, newsgroup is created as a local group which is fed only by articles POSTed to it.
You will need to be root or own /var/spool/sn in order to add new groups.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
SNROOT If this is set and is not empty, the value is used in place of /var/spool/sn, the default news spool directory.
FILES CREATED
/var/spool/sn/newsgroup
Directory where articles will be stored.
/var/spool/sn/newsgroup/.created
Empty file for the newsgroup creation time.
/var/spool/sn/newsgroup/.serial
Where snget gets its idea of the new starting serial number for newsgroup on server server:port. The value is initialized to 0.
/var/spool/sn/newsgroup/.outgoing
If server is specified, is a symlink to /var/spool/sn/.outgoing/server:port, which is a directory, created if it does not already
exist. If server is not specified, no file /var/spool/sn/newsgroup/.outgoing will be created. See also snsend.
