Mail UP on lorien

[lwood]

Somewhere in all the upgrades I did to the sundry mail servers, something went awry that did not present itself until the machine was rebooted as a result of its momentary power outage. This means no e-mail is working at the moment. What's also true is that I have no brain left with which to troubleshoot, so I've passed this on to countgeiger. Must sleep.

No ETA.

Update, 14:03: Everything's back now, including the new spam stuff. The underlying problem was libdb version skew -- I overwrote the systemwide one, and everything pretty much seemed to like it except postfix (mail server) although it didn't complain until the reboot. Have reinstalled libdb in a place that doesn't overwrite the system-wide libdb. While I was down in the mail server's sub-basement, I also had to wrassle with the alligators of SpamAssassin, but at least I finally did do so, and SPamAssassin has now, officially, gone from 2.64 to 3.0.3, go team.

Update: 17:11:

There was a problem with sending mail through me for people who use their own mail clients. This has been fixed. Geek version: pop-before-smtp daemon needed a restart.
