misc@, I just discovered that smtpd dies becuase of filter hit "too many open files".
Last logs from smtpd: Jun 11 13:06:03 mx1 smtpd[80363]: 1825a196e20867b3 mta disconnected reason=quit messages=1 Jun 11 13:07:06 mx1 smtpd[80363]: 1825a197ad6634d4 smtp connected address=198.2.134.32 host=mail134-32.atl141.mandrillapp.com Jun 11 13:07:08 mx1 smtpd[80363]: 1825a197ad6634d4 smtp tls ciphers=TLSv1.3:TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384:256 Jun 11 13:07:08 mx1 smtpd[82182]: auth: 1825a197ad6634d4 Can't open tempfile: Too many open files Jun 11 13:07:08 mx1 smtpd[80363]: dispatcher: tree_xpop(0xfae2ce35960, 0x1825a197ad6634d4) Jun 11 13:07:08 mx1 smtpd[61396]: smtpd: process dispatcher socket closed inside filter the code which writes that logs looks like: if ((msg->origf = tmpfile()) == NULL) { auth_err(ctx, "Can't open tempfile"); return NULL; } .. void auth_err(struct osmtpd_ctx *ctx, char *text) { struct message *msg = ctx->local_message; fprintf(stderr, "%016"PRIx64" %s: %s\n", ctx->reqid, text, strerror(errno)); if (msg != NULL) msg->err = 1; else osmtpd_filter_disconnect(ctx, "Internal server error"); } I expect that it clsoes connection, but not kills smtpd. Am I wrong? It is running on OpenBSD 7.5 The code of filter is hire: https://github.com/catap/opensmtpd-filter-auth -- wbr, Kirill
