OK, our postfix is back to life.
I'm not sure what was the problem, but Chris Schmidt restarted postfix
and it helped. Thanks Chris!
Debugging tools I used:
'mailq': Reported ~1500 messages in queue.
'/usr/sbin/postqueue -f' did not affect the messages that were in the
queue slated for delivery: when everything is working, '-f' should
add a '*' after each queue identifier in the mailq output, and it
didn't.
This indicated to me that something was wrong with postfix. So I
restarted postfix (/etc/init.d/postfix restart), and ran postqueue -f
again: and looked at the mailq output and saw that it indeed now had a
star after everything, and mail was being delivered according to
/var/log/maillog
In the future, if you look at /var/log/maillog, and see only *incoming*
mail, and no *outgoing* mail, this is a bad sign: search the logs for
'qmgr', specifically, to see if anything is happening.
I don't know why the qmgr does. Putting monitoring on the total queue
size on the server would probably let us visually check this in the
future: if it hits 1000, it might be a sign that mail isn't flowing.
