Hi,

Now and then the SMTP on our iRedmail server stops responding. The workaround is to restart the entire server and things are back online. How can I go about 1) monitoring the current status of the SMTP service 2) How to restart the SMTP service when it is froze/not responding without restarting the entire server.

Thanks

Have you ever checked your logs to see what's happening?
Grep through the syslog to see if something causes this?

# sudo /sbin/service postfix start
# sudo /sbin/service postfix stop
# sudo /sbin/service postfix restart
from the commandline.
(You need administrative rights for this ;-) )

What do you mean "stops responding"?
