Ok, having serious problems...

This morning I discovered that our email server was pegging out our T1.  I
have no idea why.  After a while things calmed down but now we are not able
to send out emails.  Local emails seem to work.   The remote queue is 175
and growing with each email.

I am so frustrated that I don't know where to begin.

The emails in the queue look ok.
I can not see anything strange in the logs.

I upgraded the email server over a week ago and it has been working fine.

Is it possible your provider is blocking port 25?

Or you have been blacklisted because of excessively high unusual traffic?

Are emails going at all or just very slowly?  Are the senders getting
bounce back messages? Here's a website you can look to see if your site
is blacklisted:  http://www.isipp.com/resources/am-i-blacklisted/

I tried to telnet to your norhtlake MX record and received no response 
on 25 after 60 seconds. If this is the domain in question, maybe a DNS 
issue?

according to http://www.mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx I am not blacklisted.

My provider knows that I am hosting an email service and not blocking.

2009-08-19 Thread Kent Busbee
Ok, now I am subscribed in gmail and should be able to email more
efficiently.

DNS warn - I don't think it is that big a deal, and my ISP does my DNS.  I
am sure he is on .com not .org, thus not the same TLD.

The problem at hand is getting these messages in the queue out 213 and
growing.  What is preventing the emails from going to the outside world?
What should I check?

2009-08-19 Thread Kent Busbee
At about 5:40am CST something on my network pegged out the T1.  After much
pulling out of hair, to my shock, I discovered that it was the qmail
server.  As soon as we pulled out the ethernet from the switch to the mail
server the network was ok.

Now I am so frazzled that I don't know where to begin trying to figure out
what went wrong.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Here are some snips from my logs:
