I'm not getting either of those issues. My softlimit is set at 128000000.

I'm also running Bind on my mailserver and am using my internal nameserver
rather than Google's public servers (though they are the fallbacks). My
understanding is Spamdyke doesn't support ipv6 so maybe that's why you're
getting those errors....

What do you have in your /etc/resolv.conf file?  If you have the ipv6 IPs
for Google in there rather than the ipv4 IPs, maybe that's your issue?

Subject:  [qmailtoaster] vchkpw segfaults and spamdyke errors

Greetings all.

Overall, my new toaster build is working great; however, combing the logs, I
still see a couple of issues I’d like to get to the bottom of. (CentOS 7.2,
built the toaster a couple of weeks ago.)

The first is that I’m still getting a ton of segfaults from vchkpw, even
having raised the softlimit in /var/qmail/supervise/submission/run from the
default of 64000000 to 100000000, 128000000 and even 160000000. I sometimes
have 20 or more in a row in my logs:

Jun  6 08:43:18 xxx kernel: vchkpw[25196]: segfault at 0 ip 00007fca89bdbad6
sp 00007ffda62cef98 error 4 in libc-2.17.so[7fca89aa9000+1b7000]
Jun  6 08:43:21 xxx kernel: vchkpw[25200]: segfault at 0 ip 00007f2dd9f91ad6
sp 00007ffc754d7b58 error 4 in libc-2.17.so[7f2dd9e5f000+1b7000]
Jun  6 08:43:23 xxx kernel: vchkpw[25204]: segfault at 0 ip 00007feb85bf8ad6
sp 00007ffe1ad395c8 error 4 in libc-2.17.so[7feb85ac6000+1b7000]

That said, I’m able to send / receive mail and log in to my imap system
without any problems, so I suspect these are triggered by login attempts
from someone else, but segfaults aren’t something I’m used to being
comfortable with, and I’m not even sure where to begin troubleshooting this.
Googling this hasn’t gotten me far. It may be a CentOS issue and not a
toaster issue, but it’s still a bit unnerving. Is there anything else in the
toaster config that I can look at or that might cause this?

The second is hundreds of error messages from spamdyke in /var/log/maillog:

Jun  6 10:56:32 xxx spamdyke[30667]: ERROR: invalid/unparsable nameserver
found: 2001:4860:4860::8844
Jun  6 10:56:32 xxx spamdyke[30667]: ERROR: invalid/unparsable nameserver
found: 2001:4860:4860::8888

These are constant, and always with those addresses, which I’m 99% sure are
Google’s DNS servers in ipv6. I’m not actively using ipv6, and my first
thought was to just turn it off (in /etc/sysctl.conf), but even after a
reboot, I was still getting these messages, over and over in
/var/log/maillog.

Does anybody have any ideas on either of these issues? Thanks in advance.
