Postfix - sending for newsletter system - settings or limits?

Hi,

I have a server thats used for only a domain with our php newsletter script. I am trying to figure out if Postfix (default install by vmin) has limits or settings that i need to adjust.. It seems that when i send a campaign it doesnt send all messages even though my script says it has.. (i am on some lists and dont get messages as well as others tell me they never got them..) (We are not blacklisted anywhere..)

I looked in the mail logs but dont really understand what i should be looking for specifically for this.. I appreciate any advice or help to get this right.. Thank you...

Howdy,

There aren't any limits setup in Postfix.

You could always review your mail queue, to see if the messages are still waiting to go out.

To view the current queue, you can look in Webmin -> Servers -> Postfix -> Mail Queue.

Thanks - I actually looked there and it didn't show anything in que... which is partly why i was asking about postfix config.. i was thinking maybe a setting was preventing something...

I am getting these errors a lot lately:

mail01 named[20544]: managed-keys-zone ./IN: Failed to create fetch for DNSKEY update

Could this be an issue?

Here is a snippet of the mailog from the period when the emails were supposed to be sending. Does anything odd jump out at you? Thanks a bunch.

Well, the thing to do would be to get an example of an email address that didn't arrive -- and then to look for that particular address in your logs, and see what happened to it.

I don't see anything particularly unusual in your logs -- I see lots of emails being generated, and towards the end there I see some of them starting to be delivered.
