Hello. I got a small problem i hope you can help me.
A couple of days ago I have recompiled qmail with some patch/third
party enchancement/whatever_yuo_want_to_call_it, and the morning after I
saw alot of qmail-smtpd and qmail-queue processes running for 2,3,4 hours.
I thought that the patch did this, killed all of these processes and kept
on, thinking of reverting to prevous configuration in the evening. during
the day I have discovered, that I was getting alot of these processed, but
only when a certain server was trying to connect to me. I have blocked
that server in tcp.smtp and everything went on fine. i only later I have
discovered that is was some music lover that was trying to sent 5 mp3
files in the same time over and over again, and his server was sitting on
a wery slow link, so I was fooled to think that theer was a problem with
my server since I didn't see any traffic to corespond to 5 qmail-smtpd
processes.
Now I see, that these messages are still sitting in my queue, they
are already past queuelifetime, and they are not being flushed with "kill
-ALRM `pidof qmail-send`"
shoud I do something about them ? |
