Hello all,
We underwent a server to server move over the holiday weekend, it went well but we are having some issues. I thought i would ask the DA forums to see if anyone coule lend a hand here to what could be wrong.

Essentially i got 4 issues, 1 & 2 are pretty major.

1) DA hangs up daily, and can only be quickly brought backonline with a reboot of the server.

2) Today sending to SMTP ( although inbound was OK ) totally hung and required the reboot of the server to correct. Once the server came back online, you could send mail.


3) Some of our users went over the quota allotment on the server, and this showed the folders in email, but no email. I was told this was due to "being over the limit". I understand that, and increased their size to above what DA was showing for their current size. Once i did this, it worked. Also noted that we converted from MailDir to Dovecot. None of the users on our box are set to "suspend when limit is reached". All of our users should be able to use any resrouces they need, and of course pay the price at the end of the month.

Below are some logs that DA asked me to look at in referance to (I can't login to DirectAdmin on port 2222)

I did the first step, of course at this point it didn’t do anything for me as my DA was running.

Step 2 showed me this: ( I have no clue what these IP’s are, 69.214.56.76 appears to be someone’s Sonicwall, not sure about the other )
