I don't understand... Can anyone help me?

Since a month or two ago, mail I (try to) send via (previously working) postfix just stands forever in the mailq, and never gets sent...

Here is an illustration of the problem: (while I am connected):

[root@XXX root]# mailq

-Queue ID- --Size-- ----Arrival Time---- -Sender/Recipient-------

A39102AC20*    2091 Sat Aug  2 13:37:43  yves.gablin@XXX

                                        pierre@XXX



F41762AC29*     658 Sat Aug  2 13:48:15  yves.gablin@XXX

                                        gablin-sol@XXX



-- 3 Kbytes in 2 Requests.

[root@XXX root]# sendmail -q

[root@XXX root]# mailq

-Queue ID- --Size-- ----Arrival Time---- -Sender/Recipient-------

A39102AC20*    2091 Sat Aug  2 13:37:43  yves.gablin@XXX

                                        pierre@XXX



F41762AC29*     658 Sat Aug  2 13:48:15  yves.gablin@XXX

                                        gablin-sol@XXX



-- 3 Kbytes in 2 Requests.

[root@XXX root]#

You see? no change... All I can do now (and I do it a lot lately) is:

[root@XXX root]# postsuper -d A39102AC20

postsuper: A39102AC20: removed

postsuper: Deleted: 1 message

[root@XXX root]# postsuper -d F41762AC29

postsuper: F41762AC29: removed

postsuper: Deleted: 1 message

 

HELP !!

 

Thanks. Yves.

employez-vous iptables? Maybe it's a ruleset..? This is really strange, but in a way I'm happy it's not getting sent (because then it's it stays in the que for a reason). I'm willing to bet the problem isn't with the queue so much as with the actual sending.

 

Does your ISP use SSL for POP mail (or maybe they just started?) SSL uses different ports...
