Archival server issue of mails not delivering
Appearance
Issue
The archive server of Triburg was not working due to Certificate expiry on Zimbra
Once that is solved by creating New Certificate mails were stuck in the queue and not / very slow distribution happening
Findings
check the top process found Amavis on top
Amavis is not required for archival .
date was April 22 ,2012
changed the date to current date
Resolution
So to disable antivirus and antispam , we found the enabled services by
zmprov gs archive.triburg.co.in zimbraServiceEnabled
Out put was
name archive.triburg.co.in zimbraServiceEnabled: antivirus zimbraServiceEnabled: antispam zimbraServiceEnabled: logger zimbraServiceEnabled: mailbox zimbraServiceEnabled: memcached zimbraServiceEnabled: mta zimbraServiceEnabled: stats zimbraServiceEnabled: snmp zimbraServiceEnabled: ldap zimbraServiceEnabled: spell
Disabled the amavis by disabling the antispam and antivirus services
zmprov ms archive.triburg.co.in -zimbraServiceEnabled antispam zmprov ms archive.triburg.co.in -zimbraServiceEnabled antivirus
Restarted the zimbra by
zmcontrol stop zmcontrol start
Still there was lot of mails in the Queue so we had to requeue the mails by
as root
/opt/zimbra/postfix/sbin/postsuper -r ALL
5000+ mails dlivered in 1 hour
