I got an error last night when attempting to send the logwatch email from one of my servers:
postdrop: warning: uid=0: Illegal seek sendmail: fatal: root(0): queue file write error I've tried adjusting the sending size limit for postfix and verified I have plenty of free space on the partition (81GB). This server has many functions, including being a mail relay for Exchange, and we are able to receive email as normal. Seems the big answer is to adjust the size limit for receiving email, but thats of no use. Thanks. |

Did you increase message_size_limit in /etc/postfix/main.cf and restart postfix?

Sure did, set it to 100MB as a test, but quickly reverted back after it still failed.

I may have missed something, but I must admit I fail to see what makes you think this may be related to the size of the message? Indeed, logwatch e-mail notification can be bulky (if it contains for example, a big portion of a maillog)... However, I still doubt this could be the issue.
Is this error message you've posted from the /var/log/maillog or from elsewhere? Where did you try to send the message to - to localhost or to outside? |

It's because of a robot spamming our FTP server attempting logins and flooding the logs with failed attempts, thus making the log massive in size. I wanted to try to block this IP, as its been attempted before. |
