Postfix/PMG "451 4.3.0 Error: queue file write error"

If encounter periodically "queue file write error" running Postfix or Proxmox Mail Gateway, most likely due to not enough CPU/RAM/DiskIO resources on your system.

Workaround is try add below setting to /etc/postfix/main.cf.

smtpd_proxy_timeout = 240s #default settings is 100s

If it does not work then maybe is time to increase/upgrade your postfix/PMG system resources.
