But when I try to use quee, emails are not sent. I am using an external SMTP server (postfix) on another self hosted ubuntu machine. This all started after a huge campaign that I sent (approx 70K emails). I thought all emails were sent, but seems like some are stuck in spool. Also I do not know how to check the local quee/spool. I read somewhere that spooling is only done if I use the local system for sending emails. but in my case I am using an external smtp, so will 2 places will be used for spooling? (one on my location machine and the other on the external one). On the other machine I am using virtualmin and postfix . I am able to see the messages in quee that are stuck due to blockage from other email providers. so I am clearing those messages… _Steps I have tried to fix the problem_ : when I try to run the following command manually: > /bin/console mautic:emails:send I see the following: _NO OUTPUT GENERATED_ and when I run the following: > bin/console swiftmailer:spool:send it gives me: [2021-12-05 00:49:20] Processing default mailer spool… In AbstractSmtpTransport.php line 178: Argument 1 passed to Swift\_Transport\_AbstractSmtpTransport::send() must be an instance of Swift\_Mime\_SimpleMessage, bool given, called in /home/traini ng/public\_html/vendor/swiftmailer/swiftmailer/lib/classes/Swift/FileSpool.p hp on line 169 swiftmailer:spool:send [–message-limit MESSAGE-LIMIT] [–time-limit TIME-LIMIT] [–recover-timeout RECOVER-TIMEOUT] [–mailer MAILER] [–transport TRANSPORT] [-h|–help] [-q|–quiet] [-v|vv|vvv|–verbose] [-V|–version] [–ansi] [–no-ansi] [-n|–no-interaction] [-e|–env ENV] [–no-debug] [–] and when I run the following: `bin/console swiftmailer:spool:send --message-limit=20 --env=prod` it gives me: [2021-12-05 00:51:49] Processing default mailer spool… 20 emails sent I also tried clearing and warming the cache.

One more thing I want to add is that this problem started after my virtual server (on which mautic is installed) got out of space. But then I doubled the space and I still face this issue. ---

Why not to use mautic:email:send? CORRECTION: I see you started with that. I see you have no feedback on using that command. You shouldnt. Did the emails disappear from your spool? ---

I’m having this issue after also running out of space and fixing the issue. Were you able to find a solution? I have to restart my instance about every two days and it is very unpleasant. ### Mautic Version 4.1.x series ### PHP version 7.4.24 ### What browsers are you seeing the problem on? Not relevant ### What happened? So a couple of months ago, I ran out of space on my mautic instance. Everything seemed to be working great after upgrading my storage, however, since then, every about two days, mautic will fail and I will have to restart it, I’ve tried many things, mainly fixing permissions with Mautic’s guide, clearing spool, clearing cache, updating, updating schema, googling log lines, but have been unable to identify the issue much less fix it, so I am here to ask for help or guidance on where the issue might be coming from. This is what the log looks like: mautic\_prod-2022-04-11.php `[2022-04-11 00:30:34] mautic.NOTICE: PHP Notice - SessionHandler::gc(): ps_files_cleanup_dir: opendir(/var/lib/php/sessions) failed: Permission denied (13) -
