zmconfigd logs - "criticals" shown

[billinvegas]

Hello,

I had an issue where a client was not able to send us e-mail due to
the following:
450 4.7.1 Client host rejected: cannot find your
hostname,

I edited this file (as root)
/opt/zimbra/conf/amavisd.conf.in

per the instructions here:
Improving Anti-spam system - Zimbra :: Wiki

added his domain with a -10.0 score, saved the file and then
stopped zimbra using
zmcontrol stop
then restarted using
zmcontrol start

here is a snipped of my zmconfigd.log from earlier today
it has been showing this for days now

after the stop / start I now get the following in my zmconfigd.log

Could someone please let me know what is exactly going on here?

would editing the previously mentioned file cause this?

thank you very much

additional info:

I found the following on the forum

zmconfigd CRITICAL [26177-MainThread-2]

[SOLVED] run zmfixperms as root but still getting Permission Denied

performed the following

user zimbra - zmcontrol stop

user root
/opt/zimbra/libexec/zmfixperms --verbose --extended"

(no errors reported)

user zimbra - zmcontrol start
(everything seems to start properly)

here is the tail of zmconfigd.log

(the posters in the above threads indicated that the above command fixed their issues, I still seem to have them)

Perhaps someone can shed some light on this for me?

thank you

Ok, all is not good,
it seems that postfix has stopped running...

[billinvegas]

Seems to be up and running again...

Q: is it possible to start zimbra as another user?

The reason I ask is all the permissions errors,
even after running the permissions fix.

I "believe" I may have su'd to zimbra by issuing the command
su zimbra

I stopped zimbra with zmcontrol stop

exited out of su zimbra,

issued the command "su - zimbra"

and all seems to be proper now...

so, is the " - " in the su command toggling a different user state or something
(forgive my *nix noobishness)

No, it isn't.

The short answer is it creates the correct environment as if you'd logged in as that user (and should always be used when becoming the zimbra user), further details (and reading): su (Unix) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bill,

thank you for that information!
