<HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Check_mailq always reports queue empty</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> Hi Everyone. I have NRPE running on my Ubuntu mail gateway (referred to as SMTP) that is running MailScanner, clamav, etc. I am having problems with the check_mailq command. It doesn’t seem to be reporting correctly. When I run the mailq command (as of about 1 minute ago) there were 10 messages in the queue. They were all MAILER-DAEMON emails so nothing that would suggest a relay problem. When I run the following command from SMTP: /usr/local/nagios/libexec/libexec/check_nrpe -H 127.0.0.1 -c check_mailq it returns: OK: mailq is empty|unsent=0;10;15;0 The same thing happens when it is run from Nagios. Yesterday a Exchange server who the SMTP server relays for went down and we got no notification that mail started spooling on the SMTP box. Any suggestions why this command is always reporting the mailq is empty? Also, does anyone have any good NRPE scripts that check MailScanner? Thanks. </BODY> </HTML>
