And the solution was ... raise the softlimit.
"But I thought we told you to raise the softlimit?" the assembled
members of qmailtoaster-list cried with one voice.
Well, yes. You did. And so did all the four hundred archive postings on
the subject.
But the secret, boys and girls, is that you have to restart qmail. And I
did, but:
qmailctl restart
doesn't cut it. You have to do:
qmailctl stop
qmailctl start
I finally figured this out when, after doing 'qmailctl restart', I then
did 'qmailctl stat' and noticed that while 'send' and 'smtp' were shown as
having been up for SMALL-NUMBER-OF-SECONDS, everything else was shown as
having been up for REALLY-BIG-NUMBER-OF-SECONDS. This made me think that
they hadn't got the message that it was time to restart.
So I stop-started the whole shebang and, mirabile dictu, 'submission' and
'pop3' and all the other things that hadn't been working suddenly started
working.
Incidentally, one really weird thing: while 'pop3' choked under the
default softlimit, 'pop3-ssl' worked flawlessly with the same limit. Go
figure.
Thanks to Délsio Cabá for helping, and thank you all (especially Jake and
Eric) for supporting qmailtoaster. Now that I think I'm almost at the end
of the things-that-can-go-wrong (many of which were the product of my own
boneheadedness), I really appreciate all the hard work you guys put in to
save me from all the things that could go wrong but didn't.
Thanks again,
Angus
