[IMail Forum] SMTP TIME-OUT HELP!

[Sergio Rinc�n J]

Hi there:   We are a medium size ISP , Imail server V 8.05     From days ago, we are experiencing some sort of strange problem.   We have an IBM Dual Processor 2.8 Ghz Xeon 2.5 GB RAM Level 3 RAID 70 GB HD's   Windows 2003 (Was Windows 2000 but same problems) + Imail + Declude AV + F-prot (32 Bit)   This system is purely for our Imail and about 200 Vhost's and 1 Primary Host for imail woth more than 13000 Users.     Email is getting stuck in the queue, if you follow up the Logs for the emails, the last call for the process is "Performing anti-spam checks' and if you go to the spam logs(Imail's AntiSpam Feature), the process says that the email is spam-free, but there is no rdeliver process created for the File in the queue.   So we had to install an alternate POSTFIX server, purely for delivering the Imails Emails, by checking at the imail server, the "Send all remote mail through gateway" option and pointing to the POSTFIX machine. This worked fine when we were not using ANTI-SPAM features of Imail, (But still have the queue stuck problem if we unchecked the send all email through gateway, oonly thing is that in the logs, the email never got an rdelivery process).   If you check the ALERT MANAGER via WEB (8181 port) sometimes it says that SMTP is DOWN (TIMEOUT 60 SECS).     May it be a Hardware-NIC Related Problem????   Even if debugging is turned ON at SMTP LOGS, the log files show the same for the Email, gets stucked after SPAM CHECKS.   Thanks for your help!   Sergio Rinc�n Jaramillo    Ingeniero Telem�tica GeoNet S.A.    TEL (574) 5104701 Fax (574) 2350160 L�nea �nica de Atenci�n al Cliente 3500111 Calle 34B N� 66� 42, Medell�n, Colombia   Ya visit� nuestro sitio www.geo.net.co   Las opiniones que se expresan en este e-mail son personales y no necesariamente coinciden con las de GeoNet S.A.
