Mail Services keeps shutting down
I have been plaque with this problem for about two months. I have 5 static ips and I use one of the ips to host a webserver and very small mail server. I am on DSL. My problem is my mail server always shuts down after a couple hours. The error is
127.0.0.1 port 25 is already in use.
I usually restart the server and everything is fine for a few hours and the mail is shut down.
I am using 10.4.5 OS X Server G4 1.4 GHZ Sawtooth.
this is my postconf -n:
always_bcc = virus@kents.mine.nu
command_directory = /usr/sbin
config_directory = /etc/postfix
content_filter = smtp-amavis:[127.0.0.1]:10024
daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix
debug peerlevel = 2
enable serveroptions = yes
html_directory = no
inet_interfaces = all
local recipientmaps =
luser_relay = virus

mailbox sizelimit = 0
mailbox_transport = cyrus

smtpd sasl_authenable = yes
smtpd tls_keyfile =
smtpd use_pwserver = yes
unknown local_recipient_rejectcode = 550
I also checked to see if port 25 is being used some where else:
samuel$ netstat -atn | grep 25
tcp4 0 0 127.0.0.1.10025 . LISTEN
tcp4 0 0 *.25 . LISTEN
tcp4 0 0 *.625 . LISTEN

Thanx in advance for any help in this matter.
