RE: Server stops receiving mail

Brian,

I had a similar problem.

Ended up I had too many spam filters in the PostOffice interface.

Many SMPT-Accept process would stack up, and SMTP would grind to a halt as
it was checking through all the filters.

I removed the majority of the SPAM filters from PostOffice and entered them
directly in the Spam-Assassin config file.

Seems to have fixed the problem.

Thanks

Subject: Server stops receiving mail

Over the past week or so, Post.Office has periodically stopped 
receiving new mail. I can still check mail, but no new mail arrives 
until I restart the server.

I've tried stopping and starting Post.Office, but that doesn't restart 
receiving. Only restarting the server works, of the things I've tried, 
which is a bummer because this is my Web server as well. After the 
restart, messages sent in while the server was funky trickle in, with 
no apparent loss of messages.

Any suggestions on where to look for a reason would be most welcome.

Thanks,
Brian
