logsurfer kills cyrus

2003-07-10 Thread gshumway

I have an issue where logsurfer regularly kills the master 
cyrus daemon.. 

If an event occurs which causes logsurfer to generate a few 
thousand messages and sends them to my cyrus server, it seems 
lmtp falls over and never recovers. I have to restart the 
master daemon each time.

I figure if i can DOS myself then someone elso could do it as 
well..   Are there any tuning / performance / mail bomb 
protection measures i can look at ? 

I have set a confMAX_QUEUE_RUN_SIZE = 1000 in sendmail but 
this does not seem to make any difference.. Sendmail seems to 
handle the load fine, its just when cyrus tries to deliver 
the mail that things fall apart. 

Thanks..


lmtp behaviour

2003-04-04 Thread gshumway

Hi,

I'm running cyrus-imapd-2.1.12  with sendmail 8.12.9.  I have
an issue where lmtpd seems to refuse connections. 

This behaviour seems to occur when a large volume of mail is
delivered to the box.  I notice that there is an lmtpd process
fo each message that is being delivered so if i send a few
hundred emails i get a few hundred ltmpd processes. Is this
normal ? 

I have specified FEATURE(local_lmtp) in sendmail.mc and have
the following in my cyrus.conf file. 

lmtpunix  cmd="lmtpd" listen="/var/imap/socket/lmtp" prefork=0

The error in my maillog is:

Apr  5 10:00:55 myserver sm-mta[58837]: h3500t9u058768:
SYSERR(root): Could not connect to socket
/var/imap/socket/lmtp: Connection refused by localhost

Can anyone offer any advice ?

Thanks.
