Plesk No Longer Accepts Incoming SMTP

[lloy0076]

Hmmm...


For some reason my WHOLE mail server has stopped accepting incoming SMTP connections from the outside world.

In /etc/inetd.conf there is:

smtp stream tcp nowait root /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env tcp-env -Rt0 /var/qmail/bin/relaylock /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd /var/qmail/bin/smtp_auth /var/qmail/bin/true /var/qmail/bin/cmd5checkpw /bin/true
smtps stream tcp nowait root /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env tcp-env -Rt0 /var/qmail/bin/relaylock /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd /var/qmail/bin/smtp_auth /var/qmail/bin/true /var/qmail/bin/cmd5checkpw /bin/true

And if I telnet localhost 25 I can get to the mail server.

However all outside clients are timing out.

As far as I know, nothing has changed and this has just mysteriously started to happen...

Errk,


It turned out that the server itself had run out of some type of resources and gotten confused.

A reboot helped!
