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)

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.

bcron-update
bcron-update(8) System Manager's Manual bcron-update(8)NAME
bcron-update - Update system crontabs.
SYNOPSIS
bcron-update path [ path ... ]
DESCRIPTION
bcron-update polls the named files or directories periodically to see if there are any new, changed, or removed files. When it detects
changes, it mirrors those changes into the crontab spool directory. bcron-update runs as root in order to be able to read system files
that would potentially be unreadable otherwise.
On Debian, if path is a directory, bcron-update skips files in this directory with names that do not solely consist of lower- and uppercase
letters ('a'-'z', 'A'-'Z'), digits ('0'-'9'), underscores ('_'), and hyphens ('-').
EXAMPLES
To mirror modern vixie-cron's behavior, use:
bcron-update /etc/crontab /etc/cron.d
ENVIRONMENT
BCRON_SPOOL
The spool directory for bcron. Defaults to /var/spool/cron.
BCRON_USER
After writing files and before moving them into their final location, bcron-update changes the ownership of the file to this user so
that bcron-sched can read them.
SEE ALSO bcron-sched(8)DIAGNOSTICS
bcron-update outputs three different kinds of messages about actions it is taking.
Rescanning /etc/cron.d
The named directory has been modified, and will be scanned to determine what files have been added or deleted.
-/etc/cron.d/oldfile
The named file no longer exists and will be removed from the spool.
+/etc/cron.d/newfile
The named file was either created or modified since the last scan, and will be copied into the spool.
