Hello Ram, > That is strange. I have never seen a case where mail is delivered to > postfix and disappeared without trace in logs. > Even I was too surprised and still so.... You all will be surprised too knowing the actual reason. The MX record of this domain was set to honor this postfix server. but it was set back to the default ( there was some H/W problem on the server company a few days ago ) , that's the domain company server.. which was creating all the problem. I have discovered this by flipping the log from the second server from where I was sending mails to the first one ( postfix ). The *relay* line indicates it was passing from the server company's server and not from my server. Now things has come back, life has again become happy. Thanks to all of you. wish you all a great, great time. > Do the following basic checks > > 1) Make sure the process running smtpd is postfix. > for eg lsof -i tcp:25 > > 2) On the receiving server start postfix smtpd in debug mode and follow > the logs for the IP of the sending server. > > 3) On the sending server you would be getting maillogs with "ok queued > as XXXXXXX".
