Mail Queue Settings changes to defaults

[alwaysk2]

Apologies but I searched a lot for my answer on the forum but did not get any answer so thought to post it a topic if someone helps.

[zimbra@mail root]$ zmcontrol -v
Release 8.7.1_GA_1670.RHEL7_64_20161025045328 RHEL7_64 FOSS edition.

I am trying to setup some mail queue settings permanently in main.cf but they are getting reset and coming on to default values.

None of the below commands are setting up values in postfix over zimbra user.

Code: Select all

postconf -e maximal_queue_lifetime=0
postconf -e bounce_queue_lifetime=0
postfix reload

Another way:

Code: Select all

zmlocalconfig -e postfix_bounce_queue_lifetime=0
zmlocalconfig -e postfix_maximal_queue_lifetime=0
postfix reload

Once I hit postfix reload command it removes new values and sets up default values to = 5d.

Is there any other process that needs to be followed to set this?

settings have moved to ldap :

Code: Select all

zimbra@srv-zproxy01:~$ zmprov gs $(zmhostname) | grep 5d$
zimbraMtaBounceQueueLifetime: 5d
zimbraMtaMaximalQueueLifetime: 5d
zimbra@srv-zproxy01:~$

Try searching the forums and the wiki, this subject has been covered many times.

I already tried searching this but all wiki and forum comes to following commands which does not put new values as permanent.

https://wiki.zimbra.com/wiki/Tuning_Postfix_Queue_Settings#To_reconfigure_the_queue_lifetime

Code: Select all

postconf -e maximal_queue_lifetime=0
postconf -e bounce_queue_lifetime=0
zmlocalconfig -e postfix_bounce_queue_lifetime=0
zmlocalconfig -e postfix_maximal_queue_lifetime=0

Can it be a bug?

The wiki is not up to date.
If a setting has moved to the ldap, the zmprov should be the tool you need to use.

Thanks dualboot for giving idea.

Following commands solved the issue:

Code: Select all

zmprov mcf zimbraMtaBounceQueueLifetime 0
zmprov mcf zimbraMtaMaximalQueueLifetime 0

hope this helps others.
