qmail-smtpd process
Hi my name is Andre, I'm using qmail for a long time in the same machine, when I start using qmail, sometimes it seems to stop work, so I run qmail-stop an qmail-start again and it delivery many messages that are in it's message spool, nowadays, my qmail starts a qmail-smtpd process, complete the action, but it didn't finish the process, and after 1 hour it finish that process. I have a busy server, about 3 thousand messages by day, and it happens not all the time, but in a random mode. Somebody has an idea of what are happening?? Following are my actual system Pentium III 500 128Mb RAM Slackware 7.1 qmail 1.03 amavis 0.21 I'm using only a DNS server more in this machine!!!

Re: qmail-smtpd process
i don't have an idea, whats exactly the problem, but i can give you an advice.. follow life with qmail. tcpserver daemontools solve many problems that inetd or standalone tcpserver can cause. you can get lwq at http://www.lifewithqmail.org, written by Dave Sill, and really worth reading At 18:22 31.07.2001 -0300, Francisco André Barbosa Neto wrote: Hi my name is Andre, I'm using qmail for a long time in the same machine, when I start using qmail, sometimes it seems to stop work, so I run qmail-stop an qmail-start again and it delivery many messages that are in it's message spool, nowadays, my qmail starts a qmail-smtpd process, complete the action, but it didn't finish the process, and after 1 hour it finish that process.

I'd be taking a closer look at items such as, - Whether there's any problem with your 'Trigger'; see that /var/qmail/queue/lock/trigger, which should be owned by user qmails, group qmail, with permissions prw--w--w- (NB the p at the start for a named pipe). - Try and get some angle on the behaviour of *your* system, and the mails coming into it. Checkout the qmail-qstat command, to see the number of messages in the queue (and whether they're preprocessed). Think about whether you expect most mails to be delivered locally or to be relayed to machines elsewhere; then take a look at your log files to see if that's indeed what's happening. If you're relaying a lot, you may need to increase your concurrencyremote. - Once you've done the above, you might like to post your findings to the list. In particular, the list members will want to know What do the logs say. If you solve the problem, tell us that too... On the (lack of) information you've given us so far, the above can only be broad guesses of where to look. cheers, Andrew.
