Sometimes cant send me email

[SylvanOgre]

Ok, thats prettty obtuse, but was trying to keep it S&S (short & sweet).
Several times, now, an aol.com email and a gmail.com cannot send email to my account (it comes back to them as "not found"). Other users have no trouble sending to my account. Most of the time, if the aol.com and/or gmail.com user retries the send, it goes through.

Occasionally I have the same issue sending email out: it fails, I hit retry, and it goes through.

Any ideas?

Can you supply a time that the last email failed to go out? There are a lot of emails in our log for your domain.

At a glance, though, I can't see why these might be refused/not delivered.

 

[SylvanOgre]

yes, there should be since I have broadcast to my contacts that I am using a new email address.
I will see if the senders can get that information to me. Is there a private way to give the actual senders email?
The approximate times would be Feb 11th for the gmail account, (they sent me an email to an alternate address at 4:13pm) and Feb 7 for the aol account (they sent to my alternate at 1:51pm)

from the aol account (the headers were sent to me):

subsequent messages from the aol.com sender have been successful, with an intermittent? failure
testing the gmail sender is still in-progress

I'll look into this for you. Give me a bit. I'm about to head to bed.

Is this thread related? "absolute offline??"
I am on Absolut...

 

[SylvanOgre]

OK, logged into control panel and looked at server status...
Absoluts' swap file is at 99.99% (wont that cause some timeout issues?)
Also both /home and / are almost full, but if the file sizes are static then not so much an issue.

I am mostly a system administrator wannabe, but Im pretty sure the swap file needs some attention?

 

[leafypiggy]

There's 20GB left on /, and 70GB left on /home.

I prune them almost daily.

That the swap is of no importance. It clears itself.
