Tiger Server Mail Server stopped delivering mail

I read a post from a person with similar troubles that you were able to help with, but the same suggestions didn’t work for me. The log messages I get are:

Sep 24 20:54:45 static-64-61-16-18 postfix/local[6725]: fatal: connect #11 to subsystem private/0: No such file or directory
Sep 24 20:54:52 static-64-61-16-18 postfix/local[6741]: fatal: connect #11 to subsystem private/0: No such file or directory

Sep 24 20:55:23 static-64-61-16-18 postfix/local[6795]: fatal: connect #11 to subsystem private/0: No such file or directory

I don’t know what I’ve done to break it and I don’t know what to do to fix it. The mail que is filling up and users can send mail to the outside, but none of the incoming mail is getting delivered.

I have tried turning off the content filter and the virus filter hoping that would help, but it hasn’t. Any further suggestions?

problem solved, edited the postfix config file for the mail transport.

thank you

For the record, I had this happen to me when I changed the Mail service settings via dragging a .plist file onto the Mail Settings window in Server Admin.

The affected file is /private/etc/postfix/main.cf:

Scroll to the bottom of the config file.
Somehow, Server Admin changed the “mailbox_transport” value to “0” – it should be set to cyrus. Changing it back and restarting Mail services resumed normail mail operations for me.

Whacky!
I spent an all-nighter again, relying on my own dumb head.
THEN i google the error-message and find this – duh!

Getting quite annoyed with tiger server
dns – a joke
blojsom – a joke

wondering if leopard will surprise us with being…er… useful?
