Davide,
Last information: It works fine with Xmail 1.16 (compiled either on Solaris 8 or 9). Mail are delivered immediately. Seems like a fix ( SysAccept() probably or domain completion) that worked on Solaris 8 doesn't work on Solaris 9 (The version I use is the latest hardware release (08/03) with the lastest kernel patch : Generic_112234-08). Do you want me to investigate furthermore ? Cyril PS: for my first error message, the DNS MX entries where responsible. >From: "Cyril LAURIE" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: [xmail] Re: Moving xmail to another host (with a different >hostname) >Date: Fri, 07 Nov 2003 12:42:50 +0000 > > >Me again, > >Now, I have a clear diagnostic of what happens, but I don't know the >reason: >When I send an email, it goes to my Xmail server (as it has to be routed >there through MX settings) and it is accepted for delivery. >The mail is then stored in the spool (somewhere in spool/n1/n2/mess/...). >But the mail is not delivered: it stays there indefinitely. >If I restart Xmail, the mail in the folders are delivered to the mailboxes. > >As a workaround I restart Xmail every 15 minutes. >Is there a better way to make Xmail flush the queue and deliver the >messages >to their recipients ? > > >What has changed is : >Solaris intel was upgraded from Solaris 8 to Solaris 9 >hostname changed >hardware changed >2 NIC (instead of one) >DNS settings changed >Xmail is version 1.17 (this occurs wether the binary were compiled on >Solaris 8 or 9). >gcc is version 2.95.3 > >Differences in behaviour : >It doesn't deliver to mailbox (except at startup time). > >Is there a documentation about DNSROOTS file (at least if you can use the >syntax from nslookup : >M.ROOT-SERVERS.NET internet address = 202.12.27.33 >....) ? > >Do you have an idea of what I should do to correct this behaviour ? >Many thanks in advance. > >Cyril > > >From: "Cyril LAURIE" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >Subject: [xmail] Re: Moving xmail to another host (with a different > >hostname) > >Date: Fri, 07 Nov 2003 10:45:56 +0000 > > > > > > > >To be exact : > >the mail are sent to Xmail, and stay between 30 minutes to one hour in > >../0/11/mess/ or ./*/*/mess > >before the are delivered to mailboxes. > >It is very strange as I modified the dns settings (PRT , A, and MX) and > >/etc/hosts to reflect my hostname. > > > >I also received messages like the following one : > >Nov 7 10:35:55 platine XMail[2747]: [ID 461630 user.crit] gethostans: > >possible attempt to exploit buffer overflow while looking up >dns.fy.edu.tw > > > >Is that mailing list a technical mailing list, or am I disturbing the >usual > >use of this list (and then I would like to apologize for this). > > > > > > >From: "Cyril LAURIE" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > >Subject: [xmail] Re: Moving xmail to another host (with a different > > >hostname) > > >Date: Fri, 07 Nov 2003 09:20:18 +0000 > > > > > > > > >Thank you Davide, > > > > > >I did have problem with the DNS settings as the domains where just > >changed > > >few hours before. > > >However, DNS entries seem correct with MX records. > > >When I send email from another host on another network, sendmail does > > >connect to my new system, and place the mail there. > > >I can find these emails in the spool, not sent in directories > > >../spool/0/2/rsnd/ or ./spool/0/2/froz/ (plenty of mails there). > > >Occasionnaly, some messages are reaching their destination (several >hours > > >after...) > > > > > >What does $MAILROOT/domains/domainname/user/.ipconn serve for ?
