[SOLVED] zmcontrol status --> postfix is not running

[Heatryn]

Hi everyone,

I have installed Zimbra latest edition on Debian 5 32 bit. But for an unknown reason, the server crashes after some time (some minutes, some hours, ...).

I do a zmcontrol restart and everything is working fine for some time.

I have done a zmcontrol status:

zimbra@jupiter:~$ zmcontrol status
Host jupiter.joelcraenhals.be
	antispam                Running
	antivirus               Running
	ldap                    Running
	logger                  Running
	mailbox                 Running
	mta                     Stopped
		postfix is not running
	snmp                    Running
	spell                   Running
	stats                   Running
	zmconfigd               Running

And also the log file:

zimbra@jupiter:~$ tail /var/log/zimbra.log

How can this be fixed?

Check the ownership of the master.lock and /opt/zimbra/data/postfix directory, is there any other MTA running?

[Heatryn]

No, I havent installed another MTA. Will check that.
