Hello,

I still had no success solving this problem. Could it be something external?

After I restored my 4.05 Zimbra the error was still there!. Then I restored the complete system (system backup) to a state that worked. Guess what? The error stayed.

So I installed Zimbra from scratch. It seems to work. Then I added the data to it. Here it is again. Semms there is a part for the postfix configuration somewhere in the databases or in LDAP.

Any idea?

googling that error, looks like you might have a broken fstat() implementation - perhaps because of your vserver?

I guess not. If I use a new installad version it works. When I put in my data the error occurs.

I found this hint in google as well and it I checked it. Also this error is in debian 3.1 and suse 9.3.

The only reason that could be is that the hostserver has a problem. That is possible because they changed something last week. But the provider says we are not gilty. Of cause!

Any idea for a workarround?

Hallo,

thank everybody that tried to help.

Yesterday the host-server of my vps stopped working. The provider informed me that due to hardwarefailers the hardware has to be changed.

Two hours ago the system was available again. And Zimbra worked!

So the reason for the error seames to be the hardware failure. But the provider denied last week that they were responsible. They offerd only charged support. When I asked for compensation if the reason is caused by the provider they told me that they will not support me. To fix the problem I should reinstall my vps. I did so without eleminating the error.



Regards,

Friedmar
