Hi all,

I'm building a load balanced e-mail server using two Dell Opterons
running CentOS with Postfix/Dovecot that attach to an NFS point. I have
both Opterons mounting /vol/vol0/spool-mail and /vol/vol0/spool-mqueue
via /etc/fstab, and that's working fine.

I am however, getting some errors in the logfile:

I did a Google, and every post I found mentions something to me about
upgrading, but I'm not upgrading - this is a fresh install, and the only
items I changed in the /etc/postfix/main.cf is mail_spool_directory and
the queue_directory.

Anyone have any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Patrick

Each postfix instance must have its own queue_directory.

Hmm, postfix 2.2 appeared over 2 years ago. Last patch is 2.2.11,
released about a year ago.
The current stable version is 2.4.4, any reason to not use current
software on a new server?

Note the further behind you get, the harder it will be to get expert help here.

"postfix set-permissions" or "postfix upgrade-configuration" may help.

Did I mention that each postfix instance must have its own queue
directory? It appears you are trying to share the queue among your
two machines - that won't work.

Minor correction, 2.4.3 is the latest stable release. The 2.4.4 release
is expected shortly (2.4.4-RC1 is available), but is not released yet.

This is all good information. I honestly don't know why I don't have
the latest Postfix - I did a yum install postfix from CentOS - I'll look
into that.

I'll make sure each postfix instance has its own queue directory - this
might help a lot.

Thanks again for the help, I really appreciate it!

I will update shortly!

Once I gave each postfix instance its own mail queue directory things
started working.

Thank you very much!

no, you won't see latest postfix on centos. use simon mudd rpms (or
rebuild his src rpms).
