Mail not being delivered (postfix)

[adamluz]

I didn't do any changes, came in to the office this morning andf no e-mails are being delivered. However, no e-mails are being bounced nither. I don't know what to do now.... doesn't seem like there are errors and yet nothing is being delivered, please help postfix mbox and I followed the perfect setup guide to a T for fedora core 4 so thats how my system is setup.

Can you copy some of your log files in here, preferably your postfix, and from restart of postfix to up and running...
Can you also so a netstat -ant and copy in the contents?

[adamluz]

Okay it looks like its not just my mail. Mail gets delivered just a few hours later. For some reason, the entire machine has started to slow down today. I attempted to login via ssh and the username & password came up pretty quick but then it took a few seconds to get the command line to appear. So I decided to logon to the machine its self and same thing. Websites on the server are running slow remotly, just everything has kinda crapped out. Any help would be great... customers are about to kill me ehhh

Heres the command top output

??? Is that high of a number normal when you host about 20 sites with only a few e-mail accounts? Doesn't seem right to me... ahhh where is everyone... need help. Need to figure out how to make the server move these messages faster

[adamluz]

tried to reinstall ispconfig thinking it might reconfigure something and then it crashed through install. Now when I start I get

Executing /etc/rc.d/init.d/ispconfig_server start ..


Starting ISPConfig system...
/etc/rc.d/init.d/ispconfig_server: line 45: /root/ispconfig/httpd/bin/apachectl: No such file or directory
/etc/rc.d/init.d/ispconfig_server: line 47: /root/ispconfig/php/php: No such file or directory
FreshClam is already running!
ISPConfig system is now up and running!

though its not really running. When I go to reinstall its acting like a fresh install rather than an upgrade now.... is there a way to get this to install as a upgrade again and get my system back online... . ahhh everything is a mess

It seems as if your system is abused by spammers. Make sure you're not an open relay.

Your problem has nothing to do with ISPConfig...
Please check the /tmp directory. There should be backups of your last working ISPConfig installation (a tar.gz of /root/ispconfig, a tar.gz of /home/admispconfig, and an SQL dump of the ISPConfig database).
