MTA is Dying after yum update

[KevinH]

What happens when you try to start the mta?

I goes back to stopped immediately.

Anything in /var/log/zimbra.log?

Here is zip containing the /var/log/zimbra.log

You have sendmail running, or so it appears.

Mar 24 11:20:02 mail sendmail[2474]: k2OHK2xX002474: from=zimbra, size=393, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<200603241720.k2OHK2xX002474@mail.myagilon.c om>, relay=zimbra@localhost
Mar 24 11:20:02 mail sendmail[2474]: k2OHK2xX002474: to=zimbra, ctladdr=zimbra (501/501), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=30393, relay=[127.0.0.1] [127.0.0.1], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Connection refused by [127.0.0.1]

You need to kill this and make sure it doesn't start on reboots.

chkconfig sendmail off

I did what your said and here is what I got, I also attached the updated /var/log/zimbra.log:

[root@mail ~]# chkconfig sendmail off
[root@mail ~]# service sendmail off

it's "su - zimbra" The - (dash) matters. This is what will load the zimbra env. What's in the log after you shutdown sendmail and try a restart?

[tonyawbrey]

The logger is not starting so I am not getting a log out in var/log, why would the logger & snmp not be starting?
