Hi, although I can retrieve & send messages via pop3 and smtp, I have
detected some problems while using tcpserver. Sometimes I get long timeouts,
specially when I have not connected to the mailserver for some time (ie.
first time I look at mails in the moorning).
Because of this problem I started to play around with the optional
parameters, and now I seldom get a timeout, but I still get long delays the
first time I try to connect.
I'm posting this question here as it seems that there's no tcpserver mailing
list.
I have test it on 2 different places, getting the same result
1)
tcpserver -R -H -D -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -v -u 502 -g 101 0 smtp
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd \
2>&1 | /var/qmail/bin/splogger smtpd 3 &
tcpserver -H -R 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup _some_domain_1
/home/vpopmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir &
On that subnet qmailserver is running on a SuSE Linux with /etc/resolv.conf
pointing to a localnameserver which is running dnscache.
2)
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -o -d -H -R 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup
_some_domain_2 \
/usr/local/bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 2>&1
| \
/var/qmail/bin/splogger pop3d &
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -x/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -u2850 -g32750 0 smtp
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
On that subnet qmail is running on the same machine that runs dnscache and
the others use dnscache as their nameserver
I'm shure that there's something I'm doing wrong because the rest of the
time tcpserver has proven to be ok for the job.
Thanks in advance,
Franco
