qmail-smtp is running and if we see with netstat smtp port is listening. the smtp work properly, but in few days smtp have a problem with a long time of responding and if we restart the mail server the smtp can work with no problem and the problem come again in 1 day or 2 days. it happen again and again , so now i just can do is restart the qmail to fix the problem. i try to fix it, with add -H parameter in qmail-smtp run script because i guess it have a problem with big queue in server. this script i use in smtp-run like this: #!/bin/sh QMAILDUID=`id -u qmaild` NOFILESGID=`id -g qmaild` MAXSMTPD=`cat /var/qmail/control/concurrencyincoming` LOCAL=`head -1 /var/qmail/control/me` if [ -z "$QMAILDUID" -o -z "$NOFILESGID" -o -z "$MAXSMTPD" -o -z "$LOCAL" ]; then echo QMAILDUID, NOFILESGID, MAXSMTPD, or LOCAL is unset in echo /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run exit 1 fi if [ ! -f /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts ]; then echo "No /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts!" echo "Refusing to start SMTP listener because it'll create an open relay" exit 1 fi exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 3000000 \ /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -H -R -l "$LOCAL" -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c "$MAXSMTPD" \ -u "$QMAILDUID" -g "$NOFILESGID" 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1 -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
