Mail Status

This alert indicates that the postfix mail queue for the host has accumulated enough deferred messages to reach either a WARNING or CRITICAL threshold. The values for these threshholds are hardcoded into in the mf-monitor-mailq script puppet/modules/mayfirst/files/monitor-utils/mf-monitor-mailq but can be overridden by local environment variables. Evaluation: Using the mf-mailq-summary is a good place to start. The script will show a two column output with number of mails corresponding to a particular sending address. This will allow you to quickly determine whether the majority of accumulated mail is originating from one particular user, address or domain. If you can identify a particular address of interest try getting a sample of queue id numbers from that address mailq | grep $somepattern | tail . Use the queue id number to examine the headers and other details postcat -q $queueid.
