Re: [qmailtoaster] pop3 connection when sending is too slow

[Tom Manliclic]

Hi Eric and Roxanne, I did below and I did not find any "soft reject" from the logs. # qmlog -d 0509 -lc "soft reject" smtp qmlog - pattern soft reject not found in any smtp logs  with date/time matching 0509 I tried connecting thru telnet to verify the connection in my pop3 and smtp and got this response from pop3. I just don't understand why it is downloading my messages still. smtp still does not connect right away when I tried  "telnet mydomain.com 25" Eric Shubert wrote: Time to plug the qmlog command. :) Roxanne Sandesara wrote: Well, that message would seem to indicate an issue with your SSL certs, becoming unverifiable. That wouldn't 'slow down' your SMTP, but if your users are connecting via SSL that could cause them to not even send unless their client offers a 'send anyway' button or the equivalent. If I may suggest, considering some of my own recent issues, try the following: cat /var/log/qmail/smtp/current | tai64nlocal | grep 2008-05-09 # qmlog -d 0509 smtp and/or cat /var/log/qmail/submission/current | tai64nlocal | grep 2008-05-09 # qmlog -d 0509 submission Note, these commands will include other logs for this date, not just current. Look for a proliferation of 'soft reject' messages. # qmlog -lc "soft reject" smtp shows logs containing regex # qmlog -g "soft reject" smtp shows only lines that match regex Note, options can be combined: # qmlog -d 0509 -lc "soft reject" smtp If you do find those, I suggest you then check the following: cat /var/log/qmail/spamd/current | tail64nlocal grep 2008-05-09 # qmlog -d 0509 spamd Look to see if there are any repeating error messages here. If so, respond to the list with whatever error messages you find and we'll try to help. Roxanne qmlog is sooooo handy!

This was not happening before and it suddenly slowed down. I don't know if it has something to do with it but tried commenting the only spam check I have "check-dnsrbl=zen.spamhaus.org" then did qmailtoaster restart to no avail. Any ideas? Sorry to others I am just new to this so please bear with me. Thanks, Tom
