Description (last modified by chris)

Yesterday a CRINmail newsletter was sent out (see also ticket:14#comment:5) and there are currently 245 emails stuck in the mail queue on Crin2, these are probably undeliverable addresses and there should be a way to mark them so and perhaps disable sending emails to these addresses in the future.

In addition as the queue is greater that 100 it is resulting in ​Munin sending a alert email every 5 mins, this threshold needs increasing to prevent these emails.

  • Add Hours to Ticket changed from 0 to 0.2
  • Total Hours set to 0.2

The default configuration for the ​Exim Mailqueue in in the script, /usr/share/munin/plugins/exim_mailqueue:

  [exim_mailqueue]
    env.graphtitle Exim Mailqueue
    env.exiqgrep  <autodetected>
    env.queuewarn 100
    env.queuecrit 200
    env.frozenwarn 100
    env.frozencrit 200

I have overridden these by adding the following to /etc/munin/plugin-conf.d/munin-node:

[exim_mailqueue]
group adm, (Debian-exim)
env.queuewarn 300
env.queuecrit 600
env.frozenwarn 100
env.frozencrit 200

And munin-node was restarted.

This will stop the current queue from resulting in a email alert every 5 mins.
