I am unable to receive emails on an Ubuntu 11.04 server running postfix with the Plesk control panel. I can't see the mails even on webmail. I am able to send emails and am not getting any error messages on the email client when I try to receive. Here is the output of the logs:

*tail -f /usr/local/psa/var/log/maillog

  • Just when users started complaining, I saw the machine was out of disk space.

Are you using Plesk or ISPConfig?

Try rm /var/lib/postfix/smtpd_scache.db

I got this solution by Googling invalid argument sltn postfix. You omitted sltn from this post.

You should add that the problem started when the disk space ran out.

I resolved this by mv /var/lib/postfix/smtpd_scache.db rm /var/lib/postfix/smtpd_scache.db.backup. It seem the smtpd_scache.db was the cause of the problem. I got the advise from http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=50569
