Thanks, it seems a problem with the local delivery only, this is why I
didn't notice because the machine is generally a transport and that
works fine. I noticed when I was not getting messages in the admin cyrus
mailbox where root messages are aliased. This is what I'm getting:
Jul 2 00:00:16 esmtp postfix/local[40911]: warning: connect #2 to
subsystem private/cyrus: Connection refused
Jul 2 00:00:18 esmtp postfix/pipe[40926]: fatal: invalid option: ?
Jul 2 00:00:19 esmtp postfix/master[1566]: warning:
process /usr/local/libexec/postfix/pipe pid 40926 exit status
1
Jul 2 00:00:19 esmtp postfix/master[1566]:
warning: /usr/local/libexec/postfix/pipe: bad command startup -- throt
tling
Cyrus stops and restarts fine and I can login to the mailboxes. What can
I look for to tell me why that connection is being refused to cyrus?
