Bounce emails are getting stack in queue

[Priwac]

Hi,

All bounce emails are getting stack in queue (deferred). I tried a few suggestions I found around but nothing changed. Any ideas please?

Ubuntu 12.04
Postfix
Plesk

"Deferred" means in the first place, that the mail-server was not able to deliver the mail. You should investigate your different mail - logs, to see WHY this happens. Without any logs, we are just guessing and are not able to suggest decent solutions or workarounds.

If you are unsure, where you may find logs and configuration files, this KB - article will help you to find it: Parallels Plesk Panel for Linux services logs and configuration files ( KB 111283 )

This is the only message in mailog

Sep 13 23:24:39 server postfix/qmgr[17342]: B3C2A60ED4: from=<[email protected]>, size=5088, nrcpt=1 (queue active)

Well... this answer is a bit too short, to investigate why the queue doesn't proceed on the next try - the log entry just points out, that there IS a queue, why the actual mail won't be delivered and why the new email is queued behind the others.

To tell postfix, to go to work immediatly you might want to force postfix with the command: "postqueue -f" ... but this doesn't solve the innitial problem, which you still have to investigate to get rid off.
