Re: stunnel/POP3 hanging ??

[Lordy]

Hi David,

i had a very similar problem with stunnel and POP3 on my mail server.

I installed and run stunnel pretty much the same way you did and tried to 
retrieve
mail with Eudora 5.1 which failed (unfortunately you didn't mention your Eudora
error message so I can't tell if it's the same one).

When I tried to connect with Outlook Express everything works just fine.

I guess this might be a problem in the SSL implementation in Eudora but I'm
not to sure about that. I've tried to find more information on SSL on the 
Qualcomm
pages but they don't provide anything there.

Sorry that I can not help you but let me know if find out anything about 
this issue.

Regards,
Lordy

Hi all,

I've been running a very stable RedHat installation with qmail for some 
time now.

Recently I've tried to install the stunnel wrapper on POP3.

I believe I've done everything as I should but clients cannot successfully 
retrieve e-mail.  It appears that something is hanging during the 
process.  The client program (Eudora) appears to be stuck trying to get e-mail.

On the server side I have the following in the log:

Jul 28 16:39:13 ikauni stunnel[5270]: Using 'qmail-popup' as tcpwrapper 
service name
Jul 28 16:39:13 ikauni stunnel[5270]: stunnel 3.16 on i686-pc-linux-gnu 
PTHREAD+LIBWRAP
Jul 28 16:39:13 ikauni stunnel[5270]: qmail-popup connected from 
192.168.1.3:1307
Jul 28 16:40:16 ikauni stunnel[5270]: SSL_accept: Peer suddenly disconnected

The last line occurs when I force the client to stop trying.

Here is my invocation of stunnel:

#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 300 \
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -likauni.vrona.com -H -R 0 pop3 \
/usr/local/sbin/stunnel -p /etc/stunnel.pem \
-l /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup -- qmail-popup ikauni.vrona.com \
/bin/checkpassword /usr/sbin/relay-ctrl-allow /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d 
Maildir 21

I wonder if anyone has run into this situation?  I wish I could provide 
more information about what is going on.  I guess they are ways to trace 
this but I don't know how to do it.

Thanks for any ideas.

Dave

Re: Inode allocation / qmail-queue?

[Lordy]

Hi Mike,

this is a known issue with ReiserFS. As you might now, Ext2 and ReiserFS
have many differences and you are just experiencing one of them. The whole
problem is documented unter www.namesys.com (the homepage of ReiserFS)
so you will find the information you need there.

In general you have two options:

1) Moving the qMail partition back to ext2 (probably /var)
2) Patching qMail with the ReiserFS patch. (I think that one is available 
through
a link on www.namesys.com too).

Just for your information: I have a linux box running qMail and I have 
moved /home
which contains the pop-boxes to ReiserFS but /var remains ext2. This makes sure
that mail is securely stored once it is delivered and if your queue (or 
the partition)
crashed you won't have much chances to restore it anyway.

Hope this help,
Lordy

Hello there.
I have been noticing slightly out of the ordinary things happening in my
qmail-send logs after changing the queue filesystem over to reiserfs.
I am seeing the same inode used for multiple messages. Is this normal?

(other users email has been blanked, as has all senders. mine is known
to all of you, so why bother typing to cover mine eh? )
