[qmailtoaster] bandwidth hog
At about 5:40am CST something on my network pegged out the T1. After much pulling out of hair, to my shock, I discovered that it was the qmail server. As soon as we pulled out the ethernet from the switch to the mail server the network was ok. Now I am so frazzled that I don't know where to begin trying to figure out what went wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Here are some snips from my logs: Send: 2009-08-19 05:31:48.549113500 status: local 0/10 remote 0/60 2009-08-19 05:31:48.549118500 end msg 11175037 2009-08-19 05:39:41.758399500 new msg 11175037 2009-08-19 05:39:41.758405500 info msg 11175037: bytes 10767 from qp 3257 uid 89 2009-08-19 05:39:41.766017500 starting delivery 17105: msg 11175037 to local northlakechristian.org-kbus...@northlakechristian.org 2009-08-19 05:39:41.766035500 status: local 1/10 remote 0/60 2009-08-19 05:39:41.794251500 delivery 17105: success: did_0+0+1/ 2009-08-19 05:39:41.794295500 status: local 0/10 remote 0/60 2009-08-19 05:39:41.794300500 end msg 11175037 2009-08-19 06:12:25.496925500 new msg 11175037 2009-08-19 06:12:25.496931500 info msg 11175037: bytes 1386 from qp 3758 uid 0 2009-08-19 06:12:25.503692500 starting delivery 17106: msg 11175037 to remote r...@mail.northlakechristian.org 2009-08-19 06:12:25.503699500 status: local 0/10 remote 1/60 2009-08-19 06:13:18.973655500 delivery 17106: deferral: CNAME_lookup_failed_temporarily._(#4.4.3)/ 2009-08-19 06:13:18.973662500 status: local 0/10 remote 0/60 2009-08-19 06:19:06.902007500 starting delivery 17107: msg 11175037 to remote r...@mail.northlakechristian.org SMTP: 08-19 05:36:13 tcpserver: status: 0/100 08-19 05:39:18 tcpserver: status: 1/100 08-19 05:39:18 tcpserver: pid 3238 from 216.81.238.95 08-19 05:39:18 tcpserver: ok 3238 mail.northlakechristian.org:192.168.1.8:25 :21 6.81.238.95::50329 08-19 05:39:25 CHKUSER accepted rcpt: from remote rcpt : found existing recipie nt 08-19 05:39:25 policy_check: remote qmailtoaster-list-return-2540-kbusbee=northl akechristian@qmailtoaster.com -> local kbus...@northlakechristian.org (UNAUT HENTICATED SENDER) 08-19 05:39:25 policy_check: policy allows transmission 08-19 05:39:25 spamdyke[3238]: ALLOWED from: qmailtoaster-list-return-2540-kbusb ee=northlakechristian@qmailtoaster.com to: kbus...@northlakechristian.org or igin_ip: 216.81.238.95 origin_rdns: mail.qmailtoaster.com auth: (unknown) 08-19 05:39:41 simscan:[3239]:CLEAN (-2.50/7.00):16.1175s:RE_ [qmailtoaster] tcp rules:216.81.238.95:qmailtoaster-list-return-2540-kbusbee=northlakechristian.org @qmailtoaster.com:kbus...@northlakechristian.org: 08-19 05:50:42 spamdyke[3238]: TIMEOUT from: qmailtoaster-list-return-2540-kbusb ee=northlakechristian@qmailtoaster.com to: kbus...@northlakechristian.org or igin_ip: 216.81.238.95 origin_rdns: mail.qmailtoaster.com auth: (unknown) reason : TIMEOUT Submission: 08-18 22:32:32 tcpserver: status: 0/100 08-19 06:47:01 tcpserver: status: 1/100 08-19 06:47:01 tcpserver: pid 4222 from 127.0.0.1 08-19 06:47:01 tcpserver: ok 4222 mail.northlakechristian.org:127.0.0.1:587 :127 .0.0.1::50276 08-19 06:47:56 CHKUSER rejected sender: from remote rcpt <> : temporary DNS problem 08-19 06:47:57 tcpserver: end 4222 status 256 08-19 06:47:57 tcpserver: status: 0/100 Kent Busbee Director of Technology Northlake Christian School - Qmailtoaster is sponsored by Vickers Consulting Group (www.vickersconsulting.com) Vickers Consulting Group offers Qmailtoaster support and installations.

Ok, now I am subscribed in gmail and should be able to email more efficiently. DNS warn - I don't think it is that big a deal, and my ISP does my DNS. I am sure he is on .com not .org, thus not the same TLD. The problem at hand is getting these messages in the queue out 213 and growing. What is preventing the emails from going to the outside world? What should I check?

If this is the domain in question, maybe a DNS issue? - Qmailtoaster is sponsored by Vickers Consulting Group (www.vickersconsulting.com) Vickers Consulting Group offers Qmailtoaster support and installations.

RE: [qmailtoaster] bandwidth hog
Are emails going at all or just very slowly? Are the senders getting bounce back messages? Here's a website you can look to see if your site is blacklisted: http://www.isipp.com/resources/am-i-blacklisted/ GL David Burke, PC Technician Coachmen Technology Services Phone: 574-266-2542 Fax: 574-266-3044 NOTICE: The information contained in this e-mail message is CONFIDENTIAL information for the use of the intended recipient, and may be subject to the ATTORNEY/CLIENT PRIVILEGE.

Or you have been blacklisted because of excessively high unusual traffic?

Ok, having serious problems... This morning I discovered that our email server was pegging out our T1. I have no idea why. After a while things calmed down but now we are not able to send out emails.
