Ouch, that looks painfull. Do the messages get delivered at all?



This is a snapshot from top as I'm trying to send an email to a local ezmlm list that goes to about 50 local people.

This shouldnt be slow at all. I have a mailling list that goes to 300 local people, with vdelivermail and never have this problem, however, i do not use MySQL.



I get 50 vdelivermails (which is fine) but they are all slow to deliver.


I've had this server for almost a year (dual 933's 512Ecc U160 drives) and it does nothing but qmail+vpopmail and a webmail client.

I have clam antivirus and spamassassin which I'm calling through qmail-scanner.

this is my tcp.rules file:

127.0.0.:allow,RELAYCLIENT="",RBLSMTPD="",QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue"

192.168.1.:allow,RELAYCLIENT="",RBLSMTPD="",QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue"


:allow,QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue"

This is useless to us if its vdelivermail that is screwing up and not qmail-smtpd.

and yesterday I was getting intermittent errors like this:

2004-04-06 09:28:48.197123500 delivery 19551: deferral: vmysql:_sql_error[1]:_Can't_create_database_'vpopmail'._Database_exists/
2004-04-06 09:28:48.211717500 delivery 19534: deferral: vmysql:_sql_error[1]:_Can't_create_database_'vpopmail'._Database_exists/

This cant be good.

but so far today things have been ok.. except that vdeliver mail is *so* high..



Have you tried recompiling vpopmail from scratch/ports tree, and installing a new copy. It shouldnt make a difference, but if it does then something was wrong with your old binaries.


2004-04-07 09:41:06.857760500 delivery 956: success: did_0+0+1/

How long does it take approxamitly for each mail to be delivered with vdelivermail? And do you have it compiled with the spamassassin patch or not.


This is on a FreeBSD 4.9-p3 system ( I know I have to patch to p4 )


Go patch yourself :P


vpopmail-5.4.0 and mysql 3.23.57 (compiled for freebsd 4.8)


Should be fine.
