[qmailtoaster] spam filter restrictions results impossible sending emails
Hi, Every Monday I'm sending a newsletter to a couple of thousands of mail addresses. During the weekend I modified in simcontrol spam_hits from 12 to 5. As a result Outlook was unable to send the newsletter. Unable means no error message, just sending/processing forever. In that list of email addresses are many invalid addresses too, which generate 256 errors, which are time-out-s, but correct me if I'm wrong and I also seen simscan: connect error 2 errors. But even if there are error, it worked before and I don't see the connection between the spam_hits parameter. In the Linux world I know that there is no such thing as, something works today, but it doesn't work after a while, like in case of Windows. So there are two possibilities: or Qmailtoaster was not configured well(less probable, because is to simple to configure), or the spam_hits parameter affected qmailtoaster's functionality.

What do you think? Istvan check your spamd log to see if spamassassin is flagging your mail as spam: /var/log/qmail/spamd/current Natalio. Yes, this is good to mention, I've disabled the spam checking for local addresses in the tcp.smtp file 192.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=,RBLSMTPD=,NOP0FCHECK=1 That means it should not check it for spam, nor else, just send it. Right?

What do you think? Istvan There are more than 2 possibilities (lucky for you). ;) There is a known intermittent problem with sending which seems to happen more often with Outlook than with other clients. In this case, the message is received by the toaster and subsequently sent, but the submission session terminates abnormally, leaving Outlook to think that the message wasn't sent, so Outlook keeps sending it until you remove it from Outlook's outgoing folder. The fact that you changed spam_hits is simply coincidental to your error. There is no other relationship between them. In the Linux world I know that there is no such thing as, something works today, but it doesn't work after a while, like in case of Windows. I like that. Applies to Outlook the same as Windows. -- -Eric 'shubes' - QmailToaster hosted by: VR Hosted http://www.vr.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I created a mailing list and I hope like I'll get rid of this problem. But Is there a workaround for this problem? The same thing happens with Outlook 2007?

It's intermittent, and no one has pinpointed the cause ttbomk. I don't know about Outlook'07, but it might be worth a try. What version(s) of the toaster are you running? If your clamav-toaster isn't the latest, I'd begin with upgrading the toaster. -- -Eric 'shubes' - QmailToaster hosted by: VR Hosted http://www.vr.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
