hello again,
well..... the server that is running the DBmail system is connected to the
internet 24/7 and never get's disonnected ! it's placed in a server farm in
germany and the uptime is 99.9% !! the problem is more on the client side,
this is where the connection gets droped !!
i'm sitting here in thailand and connect through a dial-up with the ISP in
thailand ! then DURING the send&receive process my ISP in thailand drops the
connection on the client side ... and then the pop3d or imapd hangs itself
up on the SERVER in germany !!
i'm also runing a primary nameserver on my server and this is setup properly
! forward and reverse lookups are working fine ;-)
the problem only accures when my dial-up ISP here in thailand drops the
connection druing a send& receive to the SERVER in germany !
hope this helps a bit ..
all the best & have a nice day
becki

What right comes to my mind is the DNS resolving, can
you check you forward and reverse dns lookup, with and
without internet connection?

hello,
i've discovered a strange behaviour with the dbmail-pop3d and imapd
processes. when i check my emails with a client and my ISP drops the
internet connection during the send&receive to the pop3d or imapd process
then this process will hang with 99% cpu usage !
my mail logs telling me =>
Nov 23 11:48:33 gehirn dbmail/pop3d[32528]: PerformChildTask(): incoming
connection from [169.210.147.240 (ip-r-sniLF1-240.s.loxinfo.net.th)]
and then the PID 32528 somehow hangs and under TOP i can see that it uses
99% of the CPU !
if my ISP doesn't drop the connection during send&receive everything works
fine without any problems. the logs show as follows =>
Nov 23 11:49:59 gehirn dbmail/pop3d[32530]: PerformChildTask(): incoming
connection from [169.210.147.15 (ip-r-sniLF1-15.s.loxinfo.net.th)]
Nov 23 11:50:00 gehirn dbmail/pop3d[32530]: pop3(): user
[EMAIL PROTECTED] logged in [messages=0, octets=0]
Nov 23 11:50:01 gehirn dbmail/pop3d[32530]: pop3_handle_connection(): user
[EMAIL PROTECTED] logging out [messages=0, octets=0]
as i told before, this ONLY happens when the ISP DROPS the connection DURING
the send&receive process !!!
i'm running dbmail 1.2.1 on a SuSE Linux 8.1 !
is there anybody experiencing the same problem ?!
is there any way to fix this issue ?!?
thanks a lot for your help & have a nice day :-)
becki
