Hi,
I have recently installed qmail-1.03 using ./Maildir/ and pop. I
am using qmail-pop3d and checkpasswords. The problem I am
having is that when a user gets large amounts of mail ie. 2000+ it
will not scan their maildir. This is the message I am getting:
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
user excesstest
+OK
pass xxxxxx
-ERR unable to scan $HOME/Maildir
Connection closed by foreign host.
It works fine for all other aspects just when a user gets excessive
amounts of mail it stops scanning their maildir. Everyone elses still
works though.
I found a post on the mailing list that made me think I had worked it out
but the amount of memory was not the case.
I am using a Pentium Celeron 400mhz with 384MB of RAM running
FreeBSD 4.1.
Another post told me I might need to change the limits could the
number of openfiles have anything to do with it.
Here are my resource limits:
Resource limits (current):
cputime infinity secs
filesize infinity kb
datasize 524288 kb
stacksize 65536 kb
coredumpsize infinity kb
memoryuse infinity kb
memorylocked infinity kb
maxprocesses 531
openfiles 1064
sbsize infinity bytes
I did a ktrace on the pop3 process and the results tended to indicate a memory
problem as it displayed the following line:
17129 qmail-pop3d RET break -1 errno 12 Cannot allocate memory
If anyone has any insights could they please help me it would be
much appreciated.
Drew
