[SOLVED] Emails stuck in deffered since upgrade 5.07 -> 5.08

[jml75]

Hi!

I have a problem with my server here.

Since I upgraded from 5.07 to 5.08, all emails are stuck in the deffered queue.

I checked permissions. Ran chown -R zimbra:zimbra /opt/zimbra as root then ran /opt/zimbra/libexec/zmfixperms -verbose -extended as root to.

Restarted the zimbra service but still no go.

At one point, I noticed in /opt/zimbra/log/logger_mysql_error.log that it was complaining about some tables marked as crashed in /opt/zimbra/logger/db/data/zimbra_logger/. I ran /opt/zimbra/mysql/bin/myisamchk -r on the ones that wherer mentionned.

Now there are no more errors in the log file but still, I can't get the messages delivered.

Can any one help me?

Thanx!

What are the errors given when you send a mail in the /var/log/zimbra.log?

Hum... Bizare.

Here is the error I get:

Aug 12 08:39:33 courriel postfix/lmtp[30229]: 9DC3698270C: to=, relay=none, delay=0.04, delays=0.03/0.01/0/0, dsn=4.4.3, status=deferred (Host or domain name not found. Name service error for name=courriel.ccdmd.qc.ca type=A: Host not found, try again)

But since the upgrade nothing has changed on the DNS and the hosts file on the server is fine to.

And if I ping courriel.ccdmd.qc.ca from the command line on the server it resolves...

Any idea?

Thanx!

Ho well...

It seems to work now. I just restarted the DNS server.

Thanx for your help.

Your external DNS records seem a bit confused. If I do a dig I get the following results:

dig ccdmd.qc.ca mx                     

; <<>> DiG 9.4.2-P1 <<>> ccdmd.qc.ca mx
;; global options:  printcmd

however, the results from an nslookup produce the following:

nslookup mx ccdmd.qc.ca
Server:         ccdmd.qc.ca
Address:        206.167.74.5#53

What do the following commands return when run on the zimbra server:

cat /etc/hosts
cat /etc/resolv
dig ccdmd.qc.ca mx
dig ccdmd.qc.ca any
host `hostname`  <-- type as-is with backticks not single quotes.

post the output here.

Thanx a lot phoenix for your reply.

The problem is now fixed.

The problem was on my main DNS server. I made an error in that particular zone and since only the main DNS server was configured in the resolv.conf file of my server, no name resolution could be performed on any incoming emails.

But I found my mistake, corrected it and also added the second DNS server in resolv.conf on all of my servers.

Bad mistake!

Thanx again for your time to you and to mmorse!
