That gave me some insight. I found that assp.cfg got scrambled and more than a dozen variables contained long hex numbers instead of reasonable values. I tried to correct that by editor and also set AsADaemon=0
When I start assp I get this: ================= ASSP 2.6.2(18313) (source: /opt/assp/assp.pl) is starting in directory /opt/assp on host mail using Perl /usr/bin/perl version 5.028000 (5.28.0), all Perl features for 5.28 are enabled compiling code and check code integrity - please wait ..... checking config in /opt/assp/assp.cfg [OK] the assp.pl code of version 2.6.2(18313) passed the integrity check ASSP uses AsspSelfLoader 2.03 - check [OK] loading configuration [OK] 1199 values loaded [OK] defining environment [OK] setting up global ENV [OK] loading modules.........U [OK] loading database drivers [OK] setup regular expressions [OK] loading plugins [OK] fixing up config [OK] check process env [SKIP] check process permission [OK] setting up modules..........

After that assp.cfg is scrambled again, containing values like "runAsUser:=5c13dfe7a63b36ed00061f028b". The file /opt/assp/sl-cache/main-ThreadStart.sl does exist and has a current timestamp. Ulimit says it is "unlimited". Von: Thomas Eckardt <thomas.ecka...@thockar.com> Gesendet: Montag, 12.

Assp.pl uses 2% cpu , does not listen on port 25 and does not log anything. (I waited up to 10 minutes.) The subfolders in tmpDB are recreated upon start of assp, but the files in tmpDB/files remain unchanged (timestamp from last successful shutdown of assp). The size of most of those file is 1 byte (is that correct?). I tried assp.pl 2.6.1 (18305) and 2.6.2 (18313).

On Debian (Buster, Kernel 4.18) I updated to Perl 5.28. I reinstalled modules from assp.mod. Now the result is that assp (2.6.1 / 18305) will start and create a process and moduleloaderrors.txt says there are no problems. But the assp process just sits there using ca. 2% cpu, doing nothing. It does not listen to port 25 or 55555 and it does not log anything in maillog.txt Is there a way to get it running again? How to proceed? Thanks for your input.
