RE: Wrong Server Name in Qmail Header?
I had this problem before and I ended up just executing that ./config script again, which is located where you compiled qmail from. That took care of updating all the files necessary to make it work with the new domain name. Also if your DNS server is not configured properly, you can try running "./config-fast the.full.hostname" where the.full.hostname is your qualified domain name like mail.newdomain.com. -Original Message- From: Dave Sill [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, June 25, 2001 11:20 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Wrong Server Name in Qmail Header?

RE: Delay in POP and SMTP response
Hi. I was having the same problem on my linux system and the -R option didn't seem to help. What fixed it was adding the -l localhostname argument which helps qmail resolve the local host name which I think is what's taking the longest. Actually, when it was happening on my system, it would take about 2 minutes to send an email, but then it would work fine for 10 minutes because the hostname resolution was cached. After 10 minutes, it would go back to the same issue. -Original Message- From: Uwe Ohse [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, February 04, 2001 11:47 PM To: Jagadish.N Cc: cr.yp.to log list; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Delay in POP and SMTP response On Mon, Feb 05, 2001 at 12:13:45PM +0530, Jagadish.N wrote: >I even telneted to 110 and 25 specifing >the mail server's ip address but it takes quite a long time to respond. try starting tcpserver with the -R option.

RE: Slow response time
Hi Michael. I posted this message a couple of days ago. There is also a very good article that talks about using "split DNS" for your internal network, which would help your linux box resolve the incoming clients. You can find it at http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue45/tag/11.html I really recommend it. Good luck. Mario Campos Hi.

Regards, Uwe -Original Message- From: Michael Owens [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 06, 2001 4:35 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Slow response time Perhaps I have my DNS settings botched, but lately I have noticed a delay in qmail's response when sending mail from my LAN. If I telnet to it, it can take up to 30 seconds or longer before I get the greeting. Once I do get the greeting, or make the connection, subsequent responses are perfectly fine. It seems that only after a period of inactivity will this happen. I don't think this problem is present for others sending mail in from the Internet. My LAN IP's are not stored in any DNS server that qmail knows of, but they are on /etc/hosts. Any ideas?

Would you people just drop this issue. We all know he made a mistake. Let's get back to the good stuff. QMAIL. I do want to tell you I learn a lot from this mailing list.

Ha. ezmlm doesn't filter out Received when I retrieve something. ezmlm-idx does by default. My bad :) I'll send a complaint to [EMAIL PROTECTED] later today. Greetz, Peter.
RE: Slow connection on send & Server connection closed
I encountered this problem not long ago and it was fixed by implementing a split DNS. I would recommend you look into split DNS and see how it would help your mail system resolve the name of the clients. -Original Message- From: Kris Kelley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 21, 2001 3:58 PM To: QMail Mailing List Subject: Re: Slow connection on send & Server connection closed JK wrote: > 1.

How was qmail installed by the consultant? Do you know if it's using inetd or tcpserver (or something more exotic) to listen to the SMTP port? My guess is your server is trying to do ident queries (port 113) which are disappearing into never-never land. tcpserver has an option to disable this, not sure about inetd. ---Kris Kelley
