Re: [qmailtoaster] send from remote client doesn't disconnect...
Thank you everyone for your suggestions. I really appreciate the help. I did what Dave suggested and emptied the /var/qmail/control/ blacklists file and then reloaded. No change. Then I tried Eric's suggestion and set my external IP address the same as SM in the tcp.smtp file and rebuilt. This allowed me to send mail without delay. So it must be something within the server. And although I am not seeing it myself, others with email accounts on the server are now reporting getting hundreds of duplicate incoming messages. Yuck. I think I might be fubar'd. On the other hand, maybe this gives someone an idea of where to look? Thanks again for you generous help. On Jul 21, 2009, at 1:45 PM, Eric Shubert wrote: That would be a good test, Dave.

I'd be curious to see why it does not happen in webmail myself, unless you changed Squirrelmail from port 25 to 587. You can turn on recordio (instructions in the wiki or in the archives) and get a really verbose log that way. Does it happen if the user switches to port 25 instead of 587? You can also set the "-t n" option in your run file for the rblsmtpd command. -t n (n being a number) will tell it to give up on a RBL lookup after seconds (default is 60 seconds - and this is 60 seconds per blacklist checked). For example: RBLSMTPD="/usr/bin/rblsmtpd -t 10" would tell rblsmtpd to check each blacklist, but to give up after 10 seconds if it does not answer. - Qmailtoaster is sponsored by Vickers Consulting Group (www.vickersconsulting.com) Vickers Consulting Group offers Qmailtoaster support and installations.
