mail logs don't work

[disproinl]

After several problems with my qmail, like spam, corrupt queue, and so on... i got fix them but log files don't work. It's said, when something happen, nothing is write into whatever log file. It's too weird, log files have stoped to grow up few days ago, so if you read their content only you find until few days ago..

For example, today is: 25/08/2011, I'm going to show you what there are in my log files (with tail command):
/var/log/mail.info

I think log files need to reassociate with qmail or with my linux in general, but i don't know how.

How could I fix it?
maybe deleting all of them?

Thankx

Try to switch from Qmail to Postfix MTA and then back to Qmail - http://kb.odin.com/en/5801
After that Qmail should be repaired.

it doesn't work.
I did it, but nothing changed.

It is courious, the log files have the same size:

/var/log

-rw-r-----  1 syslog       adm          2147483647 Aug 16 23:43 mail.info
-rw-r-----  1 syslog       adm          2147483647 Aug 17 00:04 mail.warn
-rw-r-----  1 syslog       adm          2147483647 Aug 16 23:54 syslog

I think you can ignore it. The main Plesk mail log is /usr/local/psa/var/log/maillog and you should worry only about it.

but, like i said i have the same problem with that log file.
You can find it above..

Ok. Look at this article - http://kb.odin.com/1892

 

[disproinl]

I've already done that, a week ago. Since that date I can't look into my log files because they never update.
How do I solve it?

 

[IgorG]

I think in this case it would be better to contact Parallels Support Team.
