Mail issues

[morraine]

Hi i have a problem with my server. the other day the hard disk space run out due to getting a lot of larger emails (20gb worth) on it which i sorted out and deleted but after that its not letting me send email from my outlook (if i do it from webmail it will send) and its giving me max connection errors??????

Mail error log - A whole page of the same:

Aug 11 13:45:19 servername imapd: Maximum connection limit reached for ::ffff:My IP Address

Mail warning log - A whole page of the same:

Aug 11 15:46:05 servername imapd: Maximum connection limit reached for ::ffff:My IP Address

Mail log of me trying to send and email via outlook to my server

Aug 11 16:47:48 servername postfix/smtpd[21912]: connect from isp.user.url.virginmedia.com[My IP Address]
Aug 11 16:47:49 servername postfix/smtpd[21912]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from isp.user.url.virginmedia.com[My IP Address]: 554 5.7.1 : Relay access denied; from= to= proto=ESMTP helo=
Aug 11 16:47:53 servername postfix/smtpd[21912]: disconnect from isp.user.url.virginmedia.com[My IP Address]

Do you know why its having problems connecting with my home computer basically?

The relay access denied could be because you're not authenticating yourself before you send the mail, so the server thinks you're trying to relay a msg through it, that's not allowed ;-)

the max connections: netstat -tapn | grep :143 | grep <Your IP> | wc -l
that should be the amount of connections you have to the server
