Hello, I write here because I Am really clueless. there is a probem I have since a very long time which I Am not able to solve.
I have now sendmail-8.12.10 and cyrus-2.1.16 I have all the time a "Connection refused to localhost" error like if the /var/imap/socket/lmtp cannot be opened by sendmail but the file permissions are correct that is root:cyrus. mailer=cyrusv2, relay=localhost, dsn=4.4.1, stat=Deferred: Connection refused by localhost sometimes I have another error: mailer=cyrusv2, pri=35544, relay=localhost, dsn=4.3.5, stat=Deferred: No such file or directory but this has not a specific reason, it depends from time to time. I Can reboot the system and it works or it just give me the above errors. Once the system starts up with no error cyrus and sendmail will work flawlessy, once I Reboot and the error above does occour sendmail+cyrus won't ever work. THe same things of course happens starting cyrus and sendmail by hand and killing them and restart them again, sometimes works sometimes not. This is a problem because my mailserver has to serve for 500 users. All the settings are corrects at my eyes here are the directory permissions for cyrus: /var/imap drwxr-xr-x 3 cyrus cyrus 512 Jan 13 11:33 certs drwxr-xr-x 2 cyrus cyrus 512 Jan 16 11:09 db drwx------ 2 cyrus cyrus 512 Jan 16 11:09 db.backup1 drwx------ 2 cyrus cyrus 512 Jan 16 11:08 db.backup2 drwxr-xr-x 2 cyrus cyrus 512 Jul 8 2003 db.backup3 -rw------- 1 cyrus cyrus 15663104 Jan 16 11:18 deliver.db drwxr-xr-x 3 cyrus cyrus 1024 Dec 16 2002 deliverdb drwxr-xr-x 3 cyrus cyrus 1024 Dec 16 2002 deliverdb.old drwxr-xr-x 2 cyrus cyrus 512 Dec 16 2002 log drwxr-xr-t 2 cyrus cyrus 9728 Dec 16 2002 lost+found -rw------- 1 cyrus cyrus 36720 Dec 16 2002 mailboxes -rw------- 1 root wheel 36720 Jan 8 2003 mailboxes.OK -rw------- 1 cyrus cyrus 229376 Jan 16 11:17 mailboxes.db -rw------- 1 root wheel 172032 Jan 8 2003 mailboxes.db.OK -rw------- 1 root wheel 163840 Dec 16 2002 mailboxes.db.bck -rw------- 1 cyrus cyrus 163840 Dec 16 2002 mailboxes.db.old drwxr-xr-x 2 cyrus cyrus 512 Dec 16 2002 msg drwxr-xr-x 2 cyrus cyrus 14336 Jan 16 11:18 proc drwxr-xr-x 28 cyrus cyrus 512 Dec 16 2002 quota drwxr-xr-x 28 cyrus cyrus 512 Dec 16 2002 sieve drwxr-xr-x 2 cyrus cyrus 512 Jan 16 11:09 socket -rw------- 1 cyrus cyrus 65 Dec 16 2002 ssrvtab -rw------- 1 cyrus cyrus 737280 Jan 16 11:18 tls_sessions.db drwxr-xr-x 27 cyrus cyrus 512 Dec 16 2002 user here is /var/imap/socket drwxr-xr-x 2 cyrus cyrus 512 Jan 16 11:09 . drwxr-xr-x 17 cyrus cyrus 512 Jan 16 11:09 .. -rw------- 1 cyrus cyrus 0 Jan 16 10:47 imap-0.lock -rw------- 1 cyrus cyrus 0 Jan 16 10:47 imaps-0.lock srwxrwxrwx 1 root cyrus 0 Jan 16 11:09 lmtp -rw------- 1 cyrus cyrus 0 Jan 16 11:00 lmtp-0.lock -rw------- 1 cyrus cyrus 0 Jan 16 11:09 lmtpunix-0.lock -rw------- 1 cyrus cyrus 0 Jan 16 10:47 pop3-0.lock -rw------- 1 cyrus cyrus 0 Jan 16 10:49 pop3s-0.lock the /var/imap/socket/lmtp file is created by cyrus so I cannot understand why sendmail gives me errors, I Really cannot figure out the permissions are just fine. Here is the sendmail configuration: Mcyrusv2, P=[IPC], F=lsDFMnqXzA@/:|m, S=EnvFromSMTP/HdrFromL, R=EnvToL/HdrToL, E=\r\n, T=DNS/RFC822/SMTP, A=FILE /var/imap/socket/lmtp I don't really know anymore what to do with this problem. Sometimes the problem disappears and sendmail+cyrus works, sometimes it comes out. At the end I could solve the problem with this sendmail configuration: Mcyrusv2, P=/usr/local/cyrus/bin/deliver, F=lsDFMnqXzA@/:|m, S=EnvFromSMTP/HdrFromL, R=EnvToL/HdrToL, E=\r\n, T=DNS/RFC822/SMTP, U=cyrus:cyrus, A=deliver -e -m $h -- $u so I Call directly the deliver program and I have no problem anymore. I do not know why when I use lmtp I run always in the "Connection to localhost refused" and sometimes I run into "No such file or directory" but this happens randomly. I am running sendmail+cyrus on FreeBSD-5.1 could it be a problem due to FreeBSD softupdates ? I have soft updates enabled on the /var/imap and /var/spool/imap partition. THe partition is on a RAID10 storage system. Could someone pelase give me at least some hints which could help me to solve the problem? I had the same problem also on a standard no-RAID disk always FreeBSD. I also tryed O DefaultUser=cyrus:cyrus for sendmail but also this did not help me. So I have no clue anymore. thanks Rick _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
