Greetings!
I'm a bit stumped. I have 2 machines running postfix
# postconf -d | grep version
mail_version = Snapshot-20010808
both of which were installed via the FreeBSD ports collection. Their
master.cf files are identical, and their main.cf files differ only in
their hostnames.
What has me stumped is that if I send mail from each machine, one of
the machines will deliver the message right away, the other machine
simply queues the message and delivers it after a few minutes. The
logs don't indicate any trouble, other than the obvious delay between
the "cleanup" message and the "qmgr" message.
I turned on additional debugging (adding -v in master file) and tried sending
another message and got:
Oct 15 20:06:12 friesen postfix/qmgr[1036]: qmgr_active_feed: queue incoming
Oct 15 20:06:12 friesen postfix/qmgr[1036]: dir_forest: 974CF1A2D00 -> 9/7/
Oct 15 20:06:12 friesen postfix/qmgr[1036]: qmgr_active_feed: incoming/9/7/974CF1A2D00
Oct 15 20:06:12 friesen postfix/qmgr[1036]: qmgr_active_feed: skip 974CF1A2D00 (10 seconds)
The QID 974CF1A2D00 was certainly the message I sent, and despite an empty
queue, it stayed queued up until qmgr woke up, found it (again) and
then got it on the road to delivery. The queue was empty, the machine was
idle, the recieving machine was idle and accepting connections, yet for some
strange reason, qmgr decided to "skip" the message.
I'm hoping someone can point out to me what obvious thing I am missing
which is allowing one machine to deliver right away, and the other to
be queuing first.
And I'm positive this is the case... I'm not just getting luck on one machine
to catch it just prior a queue run. I've sent dozens of test messages and
each and every time this occurs.
Both machines are running the same OS, are attached to the same switch, ...
Any suggestions?
