How do I delete this queue all together?

yikesss

No spools have been defined

welp

Ooof.

aha, might need to create that directory

Directory? You’re out of inodes, fix that first.

hmm, created a new directory, didn’t help

yeah, im clearing up stuff in the meantime

had to fix the permission

its back up that’s nice

Any ideas what this refers to?

I don’t know why it kept printing that again and again

if you see expected user@domain it’s most likely a bug that was present in the main branch for a little bit and you need to upgrade to a newer version of kumomta.

Oof. Any ideas what could have gone wrong though?

Our KumoMTA legit exhausted all the space in the server and then refused to process anything

it’s most likely a failure to load metadata during logging
