E-mail stopped coming in after an update

Guys, it’s been a while since I had issues with this system, but now I have one that I can’t find a solution. I stopped receiving e-mails. Dovecot is turned on and postfix is also working. I can send emails out normally, I just can’t receive. It doesn’t even make it to queue. Here’s what I got back from hotmail. Command died with status 127: "/usr/bin/procmail-wrapper -o -a $DOMAIN -d $LOGNAME". Command output: sh: 1: /usr/bin/procmail-wrapper: not found Anyone have any idea what that could be? Thanks in advance.

@ilouie,

First thing to check is your quota for the mailbox, and quota for the Virtual Server. In that order.

Thanks, but they’re unlimited.

Why’d you uninstall procmail-wrapper?

@ilouie,

The default for a mailbox is 50MB hence the ask, and if your overall “Virtual Server” quota is reached then that’s your actual limit.

This issue comes up periodically so, and I’ve personally addressed a few similar cases which resulted in the quotas NOT being completely unlimited in every way, hence the errors and ultimately not receiving of mail.

Thanks Joe. But, I have not removed/deleted anything called procmail-wrapper, unless it’s part of a package. However, I tried installing it and this is what I got back.

O.K. I had to re-install Postfix to fix this issue. It’s now working properly. TY

I asked why you uninstalled procmail-wrapper not procmail. But, I guess you’d uninstalled both?

That broke it worse. Now Virtualmin probably does not have control of mail delivery at all. (Though I guess the default configuration will deliver mail, you won’t have spam/AV scanning.)

I really don’t remember ever deleting/removing anything. It just stopped working after an update. I noticed it because I weren’t even receiving spam mail.
