SMTPD not running properly since firmware update

chriswallis

since firmware update to 9.400-9 i have had some issues with the SMTPD not running (6 alerts since update) which means mail doesn't even come into the UTM logs.

I have rebooted and a flurry of mails come in, anyone else had issues?

    I don't use email, I have everything disabled but I do have the UTM email me issues. Every hour this happens. Started yesterday.

    Smtp daemon not running - restarted
    --
    System Uptime      : 3 days 8 hours 25 minutes
    System Load        : 0.69

    System Version     : Sophos UTM 9.400-9

    Yeah I am getting the same since upgrading our UTM's to 9.400-9.

    Have tried enabling and disabling SMTP global to no avail.

    I have the same Problem with the Virtual UTM since the Upgrade 9.400-9. The different thing is that I am running an Active/Passive Cluster.
    If i turn the Cluster off , SMTP works again. (But  the messages don’t stop coming in.)

    I also try a single new fresh install, same problem.

    Yes, I've been having this problem since Friday (8 April). If I turn off the SMTP Proxy, mail starts flowing (in both directions). Turn it back  on and silence.

    The SMTP Log does not even show me turning it off and on:

    Turning Sandstorm off didn't make a difference.

    (It is now 15 hours since these log entries).

    James.

    I'll turn it back on and reboot the system.

    Rebooted system, and after a while turned SMTP Proxy on again. Log is:

    Hey, 

    we had the same error, after i killed the smtpd prozess and start the smtpd prozess all works fine ;-)

    Daniel, you mean you just Disabled/Enabled the SMTP proxy from the 'Global' tab of Email Protection/SMTP?

    This doesn't work for me.

    Of did you do it by ssh-ing in?

  • 0 in reply to jlbrown

    you must use the ssh console with the loginuser and root. 

    i had used the kill -9 command
