[xmail] XMail on FC4
Any horror stories about running xmail on FC4? I've given up on running it on Open Suse 10, it just doesn't like the hardware I guess (it's a strong running Dell but OpenSuse just drags on it. Stopping xmail takes forever, and eventually the processes are stopped but the /etc/init.d/xmail stop command never finishes, this along with other issues including my filter error -97 woes Never had an issue like this on our RH8 box so I guess sticking with RH in some form is the way to go. We're either going to go with the FC4 or just rebuild the box on RH8 with larger drives. Might have to just stick with RH8 since we know it works pretty darned good.

Hmmm. On this box it starts up fine but doesn't stop easily. It is an Intel chip. Also, for some reason it's very sluggish. Running in debug mode showed approximately 8-10 seconds to connect via POP3 and SMTP from the client (and both were on a 100mb switch with nobody else on). -- later, Dale mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sunday, March 12, 2006, 8:13:34 AM, you wrote: On Sunday 12 March 2006 08:02, Dale Qualls wrote: Any horror stories about running xmail on FC4?

I can post full output 4.5k but that was first error encountered. I've not had any other unexplained problem during setting up this server. xmail-1.21 compiled ok on the k6-400 with NetBSD 2.0 (gcc 2.95) but on trying again after update to NetBSD 3.0 (gcc 3.3.3) and failure of xmail-1.22 to compile I found that wouldn't compile either and gave same error. That would suggest I try again with gcc 2.95 which I'll try after working out how I can safely install it without messing up existing setup. Ok, now I remember. This is not a gcc problem. You seem to be missing (or have a broken setup) of the libc development package (dunno how it is called in NetBSD. Thanks Davide I just found this in /usr/src/UPDATING 20040418: statfs(2) and friends have been replaced by statvfs(2). ... In addition your libc build might not work (undefined SYS_statfs symbol) because make clean does not know how to remove files it does not know about anymore. So that's got me progressed a bit further and seems to be related as my hack was to change statfs to statvfs in SysDepBSD.cpp. However I thought there were compatibility settings in use that were supposed to handle this and the suggested solution above doesn't seem applicable.

XMail does not care at all and runs everywhere there's a SuS POSIX subsystem. Delays in the XMail stop procedure are very likely related to a slow DNS name/IP resolution. You can modify the xmail script to issue a kill after waiting for 8-10 seconds. Wait, error -97 is related to filter execution errors or segfaults, so you might want to look into that before blaming XMail ;) - Davide - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe xmail in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line help in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I am definitely a Unix kinda of guy, but I have to say that there is a reason why Microsoft makes bazillions of dollars. They never do that. You can get a Win32 binary (leaving DOS stuff apart) built in 1995 and run it today w/out problems. And we're talking about binaries, letting apart all the times ABI are broken in the middle. Now, the fix is not a problem, but the source files start becoming a mess in trying to distinguish even between versions of the same OS.

Dell is the last of the major PC manufacturers to refuse to use AMD chips. It appears that is about to end since their customers are demanding Opteron servers and Dell is said to be working on an AMD based line. I'm personally not a big fan of Intel, nevertheless if it were a chip issue I'm sure lot's of people would be having the same problems. Also, for some reason it's very sluggish. Running in debug mode showed approximately 8-10 seconds to connect via POP3 and SMTP from the client (and both were on a 100mb switch with nobody else on). In my experience slow connections have always been DNS or firewall related; waiting for the primary nameserver to timeout before trying the secondary, or a connection waiting for a response which is being blocked by a firewall. Another possibility is one of your filters is hanging which might explain all of your symptoms. If I recall correctly checkvirus.cfg has path settings that need to be changed when switching to SUSE.

Hiya! Trust me, I'm not blaming xmail, I'm blaming the OpenSuse. xmail runs beautifully on everything I've had it on (RH and Mandrake).

No disrespect meant towards the xmail product or you Davide. Three production boxes, all XMail 1.22 on FC4 on Dell PowerEdges of various vintage. Lindeman AV and Dario XSpamc filters on all three and never a hiccup. Actually, I have run XMail on RH6, 7, 8, 9, FC3 and 4, OS X and various versions of that thing once called Caldera and have never had a problem.
