This is the first time I've posted to the list, so if I've missed
something, kindly let me know...
I checked the FAQ but didn't find anything...
This is concerning the etrn solution I found at this URL:
http://www.cqc.com/~pacman/projects/qmail-etrn/
I am currently using a P90/Redhat 5.2 test station using qmail-1.03
installed via the memphis rpm's.
(qmail-1.03-11ucspi.i386.rpm, based on a src rpm)
I then compiled the qmail-1.03, patched with etrn diff v0.1f on another
test station also running Redhat 5.2 and the memphis 1.03 rpm.
(only have a limited HD on the testing station)
Compared the binaries from my existing /var/qmail/bin to qmail-1.03/ and
moved in the changed binaries...
Restarted...
Took a bit to get the permissions on etrntrigger and
/var/qmail/queue/lock/tcpto but it appears to be working...
The etrn command is received and says ok....
But I'm not seeing an "instantaneous" outflow of held mail... I use
qmHandle -l to see what's sitting in the queue, and I have the test mx10
go offline, watch the mail pool by watching for deferrals in the wmail
log, and then I bring it back online and issue the etrn command via port
25... 250 ok...
But no outgoing mail traffic... In amount 5-10minutes it will starting
spooling out and everything is fine...
The only thing I can think of is the patch isn't quite right... I have
noticed that nothing shows up in qmail-tcpto but I've gotten varied
results in regenerating qmail-tcpto tables for specific IP address on
"unmodified" qmail installs... I can see healthy qmail-tcpto responses
on our outgoing mail server, but everytime I trick it into holding email
a specific IP using static mail routes I don't see it show up in the
qmail-tcpto tables...
Is 5-10 minutes response from an ETRN, in this configuration normal or?
Any checks I can make to make sure that tcpto "tables"(?) are working
ok...
I have attempted to find other ETRN solutions, and have found mention of
AutoTRN(?) but can't find anything concrete on it....
If you have URLs or leads on an ETRN package you can email me
directly...
Any input would be greatly appreciated...
