 NOTE: it takes 2/3 minutes to deliver a message from an external e-mail 
(gmail like) to our server. Is it normal time?


 Sure. Sometimes they get delivered in a couple seconds, other times a few
minutes. Depends on a lot of variables. You have not indicated that is Gmail
is taking a long time to connect to you, or if you still have problems on
your system.  You would need to watch the logs to see when Gmail contacts
your server to determine this.

 

FYI, some time ago, Gmail instituted a delay in sending mail.  This delay
was intended for people to be able to recall a message that was sent to
the wrong person, forgot an attachment, etc.  It gives you a chance to stop
the message from being sent in one of those Oh shit moments.  The delay
is, I believe a minute or two.  

 

So, it would be perfectly normal to see a delay when sending from Gmail.

This will be a DNS issue, or the RBL you are using has shut your access 
down for usage reasons. Either way, it's still technically a DNS lookup 
issue.
Remember that Spamhaus only allows something like 15,000 lookups a month 
for their free service, which is why we recommend a caching nameserver 
running on the local mail server.

The funny thing is that i haven't change nothing at all.
Is it possible i have been blacklisted on port 25 by zen spamhouse?

Also another problem happened yesterday, in the noon, we could not 
recieve e-mail from pop3 and ppl who recieved them were delayed by 30 
minutes.


Nothing special on logs the only strange thing i can see is in 
/var/log/qmail/smtp, this line:
vchkpw-smtp: vchkpw is only for talking with qmail-popup and 
qmail-pop3d. It is not for runnning on the command line.


Telnet port 25 today gives:
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1).
Escape character is '^]'.
220 server1.isocast.it - Welcome to Qmail Toaster Ver. 1.3 SMTP Server ESMTP

Yesterday was giving both on localhost and remote the same messages 
given to you.


So.. i can't really understand what's going on...

What recently changed? Can you show us logs? What do you get when you 
telnet to port 25 at the localhost? Is there something in the network 
that may be intercepting this traffic?

2010-07-22 Thread Mike Canty

If it is any consolation, we have a site where the ISP has blocked port 25
traffic to any other point except their own outgoing mail server.  This was
noticed recently because the site is currently using mail hosted externally,
and I have tried to install a qmail toaster machine and came across the
block.

 

Could this be an ISP thing?
