[SOLVED] Postfix errors in /var/log/mail.log

Altay_H · 2010-06-10 23:31:29

I'm using a script to send myself an email alert whenever certain conditions occur. I had to install postfix to get it to work, and I use the following line to send the emails:

echo "Body" | mail -s "Title" "email@address.com"

Everything's working fine, but I noticed that I've been getting an absurd amount of messages from postfix in my /var/log/mail.log. Every five minutes I've been getting the following in my log:

It looks like postfix is trying to connect to 204.323.162.86, which is bizarre because that's not my IP address. I'm very new to this, so I appreciate any clarifications on how postfix works. I probably need to change how it's set up, but I honestly don't know how I set it up. Thanks for any help!

Not obfuscating details would help -- knowing the actual domain you're sending to and complete logs for the message would be appropriate.

I'm not sending anything though. I mean nothing should be sending mail every five minutes. My script run every five minutes, but it only actually sends emails a couple times a week. When it does sent emails they go to gmail.com. Where can I find complete logs for the message?

EDIT: Here's /var/log/everything.log. I have two scripts that run: get_attached_devices.pl which is unrelated, and alert.pl which sends emails occasionally (but not everytime it's run).

EDIT: I disabled my script and the postfix messages are still appearing. It's not related to my script. It looks like postfix is trying to connect itself to some server every five minutes. Any ideas?

Correct, it has nothing to do with your scripts.

There is something in the queue that having problems sending. What does `postqueue -p` show?

I think I figured out what's been going on. About a week ago I changed the value of the following variable in /etc/postfix/main.cf:
myhostname = altay-desktop

It was irritating me that the mail I received was from "altay@altay-desktop.local" instead of "altay@altay-desktop" and I thought that would fix it. I didn't realize that other things were dependent on that value, and I forgot to change it back when it didn't work. I also didn't realize that my cron jobs were sending their output to /var/mail/altay via postfix. I just commented out the line I had changed, and now all the emails that cued up in postfix seem like their being delivered a bunch at a time every five minutes.

I base this assumption on the most recent messages my /var/log/mail.log is being flooded with:

It looks like everything should be back to normal when it finishes delivering all the messages. Is there a way to tell postfix to remove all queued messages? I'd really rather not wait for it to deliver them.

$myorigin is probably what you wanted

I tried changing $myorigin, and it changed the domain from which the mail is coming, but it's appending ".localdomain" to what I have. When I set:
myorigin = desktop
The emails I sent come from:
altay@desktop.localdomain
Do you know how I can tell it not to append the ".localdomain" to the outgoing domain name? Thanks so much for your help!

Thanks! It looks like "postsuper -d ALL" would do the trick. I was worried it would take days to deliver all the messages, but it actually got through them in a couple hours, so it wasn't really a problem.

No, sorry.... It's not a FQDN without at least 1 dot, and I don't think Postfix considers not having a FQDN as the origin as being valid.

Is there a way to change the localdomain part to something like com?

You can make the myorigin anything you like, as long as it's fully qualified

myorigin = eye.like.cheeze.lots
myorigin = tacos.for.me
