Hi !
I've been searching for a solution for the problem I encountered, but
found no solution for now. (No sign about it in the FAQ either).
I'm running qmail 1.03. Everything work fine, but:
When sending mail from our 192.168.0. network, clients connecting get a
delay of app. 40 seconds before the 220 message appears.
First, I used :
/usr/sbin/tcpd /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
in inetd (the 'smtp stream tcp nowait qmaild' stuff always at the
beginning).
Then I tried:
/var/qmail/bin/tcp-env /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
For a short time everything worked fine, but after reboot everything went
crazy. Telneting to port 25 resulted in an immediate connection drop after
connecting. Setting back inetd to the first version solved the connection
problem, but the timeout was back.
BTW: While waiting for the 220, the server tries to query the outside DNS
for the non-existent 192.168.0 IP numbers and waits until it has several
timeouts...
Todays I tried tcpserver:
tcpserver -v -c 42 -u 1001 -g 4243 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1
| /var/qmail/bin/splogger smtpd 3 &
Result: Now I have the delay from localhost too ... *argh*
I need to solve the problem fast or be decapitated :/
(I tested qmail on our intranet for months and this never happened
regardless the resolv.conf on the server having the internal DNS IP or
just the outside ones).
Thank in advance.
Bgs
PS: I'm on the list, but a Cc is welcome due to the urgency!
