Plex Server maillog file?

[TAC]

Can anyone tell me anything about the Plex server ../var/log/maillog file in my Plex jail? My maillog file has about a bunch of entries, 40,798 KB worth :

Sep 27 02:59:05 plexmediaserver_1 sendmail[89747]: w8LA4Go9057312: w8R6udQl089747: return to sender: Cannot send message for 5 days

There are about 20 related entries per second in the log and I think this my be the reason the volume running my Plex jail is always running about 80% disk busy.

I looked around Plex for a feature to sending email reports to turn off but I can't find anything.

Thnx,
-TAC

To disable sendmail in the jail, add this to the /etc/rc.conf file inside the jail:

Code:

sendmail_enable="NONE"
sendmail_msp_queue_enable="NO"
sendmail_outbound_enable="NO"
sendmail_submit_enable="NO"

 

[TAC]

My rc.conf shows:

sendmail_enable="NO"
sendmail_submit_enable="NO"
sendmail_outbound_enable="NO"
sendmail_msp_queue_enable="NO"

Guess I'll change sendmail_enable from "NO" to "NONE" and see what that does.

 

[TAC]

So I've got all the sendmail options in my plexmediaserver rc.conf set to "NO" and the /var/log/maillog file size is 19,613 KB. Following
is just the tail end of the file.

I think this writes to /var/spool/clientmqueue which has so many files I can't even list it. Executing the ll or ls in the /spool/ directory show clientmqueue size as 5639010.

 

[DrKK]

Yeah, I have never been able to figure out how to disable this myself. I had all of my things for sendmail set as Monkey says, but it never helped.

I just occasionally blow away the clientmqueue files.

 

[m0nkey_]

Ah, this might be the periodic output. In /etc/periodic.conf add the following:

Code:

# Send _output to logs
daily_output="/var/log/daily.log"
daily_status_security_output="/var/log/daily.log"
weekly_output="/var/log/weekly.log"
weekly_status_security_output="/var/log/weekly.log"
monthly_output="/var/log/monthly.log"
monthly_status_security_output="/var/log/monthly.log"

 

[TAC]

Looking in my Plex jail I see the /etc/periodic folder with sub-folders daily, weekly, monthly, and security but don't see any periodic.conf file. Should I just create the file?

This has to be some periodic task that is running. This image shows Disk Busy running pretty low and at 3 am jumping. If I restart my Plex jail this drops to almost zero and will then again, @ 3 am, jump and stay there.

 

[m0nkey_]

Should I just create the file?

Yes

 

[TAC]

Kind of hoping / expecting to see some info in the file /var/log/daily.log today, but no such luck.
