Resending messages after Postfix "Relay Not Allowed" failure
Yesterday my mail server was down due to a cofigurateion error in main.cf where mydestinations was missing my domain name mlml.calstate.edu. After correcting this end users are now asking what happened to the email that apparently was sent; is in there sent mailbox but has not been received by the destination user. I have looked in the /var/spool/imap/user/... directories and there are no entries during the down time:
-rw------- 1 cyrusima mail 4574 May 18 09:33 30803.
-rw------- 1 cyrusima mail 14606 May 18 09:34 30804.
-rw------- 1 cyrusima mail 2724 May 18 09:45 30807.
-rw------- 1 cyrusima mail 6435 May 18 09:46 30808. <-
-rw------- 1 cyrusima mail 2888 May 18 16:58 30813. <-
-rw------- 1 cyrusima mail 1381 May 18 16:59 30814.
-rw------- 1 cyrusima mail 1406 May 18 16:59 30815.
My OS X Mail client shows mail in the sent mailbox during the downtime and I received this email after the mail server came up at 16:58 but many end users are saying they did not receive CC's or internal email. All the emails I received after the server came up had resided in my outbox until the server came up. Users with problems are saying their email appeared to be sent, did not appear in their outbox.
Thanks
Jeff
