MTA: Stopped --> Problem with amavisd, BerkeleyDB & libdb-4.2.so

[papaya74]

that was a strike

In Fact it is poor equipped...it's an Compaq PIII, with actually 256MB..i know, that min. is 512MB, and now i know why...i will upgrade to 512MB and come back, if the error is still present !

Zimbra really needs a lot of ressources...i made an imapsync just to try what i get and i realized, that the server is going to prostrate...it looks like that the indexing tasks going over the mails consume a lot of power.

You helped me a lot and i would like to decorate you with a golden medal for today

So thanks, again !

it doesn't really tell me what is wrong.

zmcontrol status returns:
antispam Stopped
antivirus Running
ldap Running
logger Running
mailbox Running
mta Stopped
snmp Running
spell Running

where else should I look ?

Thanks !

Looks like the last thing in the log is a shutdown. Are you sure it's still running?

[marcmac]

for amavis problems.

or
/opt/zimbra/bin/zmamavisdctl start will show you what the startup error is in amavis.

[liyingchang]

thanks guys for ur help, there were 2 things I found:

1. amavisd needs a fully qualifed name in the conf, my uname only gave it the hostname.
2. postfix (mta stopped) had trouble with permissions when installed, I think I probably made a mistake using an accout with the wrong permission or something, in any case, I reset the previliges and it appeared to be running after that.

werid thing is that no warning was giving when I zmcontrol start.

thanks for your help, really appreciate it.
