Mail service restart

[potemkin_ai]

From time to time, mail server got stuck - it doesn't accept messages to be delivered from the users.

Cloudron v8.3.2 and I would rather postpone update to v9, given the changes under the hood and amount of reported issues here.

My solution so far was manual mail server restart, as it's RAM consumption went up to ~2Gb (with not that many users and mail traffic flow).

Would it be safe to put docker restart mail into the cron at the night? Would it work on Cloudron 9?

Thanks.

Yes, a nightly docker restart mail would work. Should also work in Cloudron 9 since container name is the same. Does /home/yellowtent/platformdata/logs/mail/*.log have any errors indicating why it is getting stuck?

@joseph thanks!

No, no errors inside of docker image logs. /home/yellowtent/platformdata/logs/mail/*.log - from what I can see, that is the same logs I can see inside of Docker - so I would say there are no (error) logs - from all of the perspective, the server looks perfectly normal... except that it doesn't accept user's messages...

I would hope that you bring updated Dovecot to Cloudron 9 and it will self-resolve, but better will just do a restart for the time being...
