Comments:

<0> that makes absolutely no sense
<1> master.cf's never make sense to me.
<1> That's the debian default.
<2> cds, I figured so but the last entry in that was quite some time ago =\
<3> chrisaw: verify that syslogd is running.
<2> rob0, yep it is
<2> rob0, well... it's syslog-ng on gentoo but i get ya point =P
<1> f3ew: WIll commenting out those maildrop lines fix it?
<0> no
<1> How do I fix it, then?
<0> We need to figure out _which_ config Postfix is using
<1> What do you mean?
<1> It's using main.cf and master.cf, of course.
<1> What else would it use
<3> postconf(1) seems to be looking in /etc/postfix, but master(8) appears to be looking elsewhere.
<1> ?



<0> the config you pasted does not indicate any maildrop/spam******in calls
<3> "locate /main.cf"
<3> (If updatedb is working as it should be.)
<1> Yeah, I'm forcing updatedb now.
<1> Hmmm...
<1> cds@balham:/etc/postfix$ locate main.cf
<1> /etc/postfix/main.cf
<1> /home/cds/main.cf
<1> /home/cds/public_html/stuff/main.cf
<1> /usr/share/postfix/main.cf.debian
<1> /usr/share/postfix/main.cf.dist
<2> folks, it's official... i don't have mail logs =\
<4> what does your syslog.conf says about mail.* ?
<3> chrisaw, you'll have to fix that before you can figure out the mail problem.
<3> cds: no idea. :(
<1> Ok, none of those files menion maildrop or spam******in.
<0> chrisaw restart syslogd?
<1> Actually, /usr/share/postfix/master.cf.dist is the same as /etc/postfix/master.cf - is that normal?
<3> chrisaw: netstat -punta | grep ':25.*LISTEN'
<3> that might tell us if it's Postfix.
<2> rob0, tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:25 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 6131/master
<3> yes
<2> Feb 12 03:15:06 panther postfix/master[6131]: warning: /usr/lib/postfix/smtpd: bad command startup -- throttling
<2> That's the problem right there, must be!
<4> postconf -n
<4> its a config error
<2> rcsu, what you wanting from that listing? =)
<1> I've removed those files, nothing.
<1> Can I remove those files, then edit the master.cf?
<1> rob0: I wish I knew how to start again. This is where my problems started.
<4> chrisaw: paste your main.cf as is to http://rafb.net/paste
<3> cds, something really strange is going on there.
<0> rcsu she pasted postconf -n
<1> I know.
<1> rob0: How wolud I start all over again?
<0> It has _no_ mention of content_filter, spam******in, or maildrop
<0> uninstall Postfix, reinstall Postfix?
<2> rcsu, http://opencodesolutions.com/main.cf
<1> f3ew: Tried that.
<0> WTF?
<1> Broke even more things...
<1> I should just reinstall this whole entire box :/
<0> This is so not making sense
<0> Does anyone else admin the box?
<2> rcsu, http://rafb.net/paste/results/RIxrPJ85.html <--- postconf -n
<0> Did they edit any startup scripts?
<1> f3ew: Yes.
<0> ok
<0> Do a postfix stop and a postfix start (directly, not using the distro startup scripts)
<0> Lets see if _that_ works
<1> I do a /etc/init.d postfix restart/start stop.
<1> How else would I do it?
<0> type postfix stop at a root prompt
<2> cds, just type postfix stop, postfix start =)
<0> or sudo /usr/sbin/postfix stop
<1> Still trying to connect to spam******in...
<1> Hrm.. Shall I try a restart?



<1> (Restart linux)
<0> stop and start
<1> Done that.
<0> That shouldn't matter
<1> Feb 12 20:29:04 balham postfix/qmgr[11211]: warning: connect to transport spam******in: Connection refused
<4> chrisaw: you dont have mydestination set
<1> Still trying to do teh spam******in thing.
<3> qmgr, hmmm.
<1> Hrm.. is it something in squirrelmail/sometihng squirrelmail did?
<0> no
<1> Cos that's when it all started to break.
<2> rcsu, set and restarted the service
<3> But shoot the squirrel anyway, it might make you feel better. :)
<2> rcsu, still not getting any headers when i telnet localhost on 25
<4> chrisaw: ok, what does the log say ?
<4> chrisaw: at this stage
<0> http://ftp.wl0.org/SOURCES/postfinger
<2> rcsu, Feb 12 03:26:36 panther postfix/master[17640]: warning: /usr/lib/postfix/smtpd: bad command startup -- throttling
<0> save that script and paste the output to a paste site
<0> chrisaw and before that?
<0> the line with fatal?
<2> Feb 12 03:27:36 panther postfix/smtpd[4334]: fatal: open database /etc/mail/aliases.db: No such file or directory
<2> Feb 12 03:27:37 panther postfix/master[17640]: warning: process /usr/lib/postfix/smtpd pid 4334 exit status 1
<2> Feb 12 03:27:37 panther postfix/master[17640]: warning: /usr/lib/postfix/smtpd: bad command startup -- throttling
<2> ohh crap =\
<4> f3ew: that script seems to be a nice helper
<0> rcsu It is
<0> --all is useful
<2> Ohh yea! =D
<2> Got a mail header! =D
<4> cu, g8
<3> cds: is this machine running apache with any PHP content open to the world? Or sshd? I wonder about a rootkit ...
<2> ok, one last problem... The local client can access the server but remote clients can't, how would one solve this? =)
<3> chrisaw: Define "access the server".
<1> rob0: Yeah, php and sshd.
<5> can i replace alias_maps for virtual_alias_maps; mailbox_transport for virtual_transport; and mydestination for virtual_mailbox_domain? thanks in advance.
<1> rob0: Which file is this error message referring to?
<3> cds, what I mean is that what you are describing is very odd, like something is going on that you don't control.
<1> Yeah :/
<3> You said FC2, and there have been 1.5 oodles of security updates since then.
<1> No, I'm using Debian.
<1> Someone else was using Fedora ;)
<3> sshd itself is reasonably secure these days, but if a common shell account has a weak p***word, the brute-forcers are in.
<1> Well, it's a strong p***word.
<1> I dunno if it was a php thing.. I use stuff like squirrelmail, and stuff that's in development.
<5> is there compatible local and virtual transport?? can coexist both?
<0> ixrp yes
<0> I can't think of what could cause the SA call
<5> f3ew: Is necesary local or i can delete it?
<0> ixrp delete?
<5> f3ew: no use.
<1> f3ew: It's already sent me mad :)
<5> f3ew: only use virtual mailbox cl*** for local delivery too.
<0> ixrp if you leave mydestination empty, then local will never be called
<5> f3ew: then i can use only the virtual mailbox cl***; for local and virtual delivery.. don't you?
<0> cds can you do a full uninstall (including config files?)
<0> apt-get --purge postfix IIRC
<1> The other sysadmin is on it now (I give up :), I'll p*** on the message.
<3> HA! You gave up. :)
<6> apt-get --purge postfix will remove alot of packages, some are essential... or will try to install exim.
<1> Ok, he's doing it, ta.
<6> f3ew: if you leave mydestination empty, local will be called for addresses like postmaster@[127.0.0.1]
<6> btw, in order to re-install postfix on debian, there's no need to remove it first.
<6> there's an option to apt-get.. to force-reinstall everything incl. config files.
<0> ah, mjt is here
<0> cds you still haven't pasted the postfinger output
<1> postfinger?
<0> http://ftp.wl0.org/SOURCES/postfinger
<0> (and relevant logs)
