Luck appears to be what I am running out of. These email problems are
eating my lunch! I know everyone out there has been very helpful and I
appreciate the information. However, the suggestions do not seem to be
effective in my getting our email functional again. We are still having
multiple email failures. Duplicate emails are still coming in, users
emails that are sent from our network are not being delivered (this is
upsetting users the most as they feel they cannot trust that their
emails are being delivered) and outside emails are also being delayed or
not delivered at all.
Are you sure all your problems are SA related? SA shouldn't affect outgoing
main in normal configurations. I would try disabling SA (change
/var/qmail/control/simcontrol, then # qmailctl cdb) and see if things
stabilize. Then add SA back in a little at a time. Local rules only at
first, then add rules which require network access, a few at a time. Leave
bayes db disabled until all other rules seem to work ok.
These problems began on Monday when I was attempting to update SA rules
using RDJ. I have removed all but a small number of .cf files in
/etc/mail/spamassassin and rebooted the server. The files currently in
/etc/mail/spamassassin folder are:
70_sare_adult.cf
70_sare_bayes_poison_nxm.cf
70_sare_evilnum0.cf
occa_phishing.cf
occa_replica.cf
chickenpox.cf
init.pre
random.cf
tripwire.cf
weeds2.cf
local.cf
Right now I cannot rely on receiving emails as delivery is very
sporadic. Please send any replies to this post to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] As of this writing no outside email is being
delivered to our mailboxes. I would appreciate any help anyone can
offer.
Duplicates are symptomatic of smtp timeouts. Are you getting a lot of exit
256 status codes? When the session times out in SA, the sender will send
again, and often the mail is delivered too, resulting in duplicates.
I've experienced a problem with the bayes database that I haven't nailed
down yet. When expiration of tokens kicks in, SA seems to hang. I rename (or
remove) /home/vpopmail/.spamassassin directory (where bayes db resides), and
everything is hunky dorey for a while, until token expiration rules kick in
again (apparently).
