setlock permission denied

1999-11-01 Thread Peeter Pirn
I run setlock to lock qmail-pop3d sessions on a per-user basis. Setlock runs the poplogger script to log POP activity. After two days of running smoothly, setlock fails with something close to: setlock:... poplogger.sh: permission denied P. Pirn - Sys Admin - see complete headers for more

setlock... permission denied

1999-11-01 Thread Peeter Pirn
Sorry for the preceding mispost! I run the poplogger script with setlock for my qmail-pop3d invocation. After running fine for two days, I get an error similar to: setlock:... poplogger.sh: permission denied and popping fails. What's strange is that poplogger.sh is set to 755: -rwxr-xr-x

I'm normally a digest subscriber and I saw this come through the digest. We have approx 15,000 accounts on our server. I solved the "unable to fork" problem using sh's limit (not the bash(?), csh(?) ulimit) and by increasing the value of the -c option in tcpserver. I have the following lines

1999-10-22 Thread Peeter Pirn
I am running fastforward against /etc/aliases.cdb. I want to force the default sendmail-type behavior that an entry in /etc/aliases will have delivery priority over a user's mailbox, e.g., an alias exists for "bobo" and so does the user account for "bobo" but mail will get delivered according to

Heads up. If you have a reasonably high-volume server (10,000+), you may be facing the "big todo" queue issue (See mailing list archives.). And even with the big-todo patch installed, the disk controller for the separate filesystem may not keep up with the volume of local deliveries. I ran into

According to the FAQ: 2.5. How do I deal with ``CNAME lookup failed temporarily''? The log showed that a message was deferred for this reason. Why is qmail doing CNAME lookups, anyway? Answer: The SMTP standard does not permit aliased hostnames, so qmail has to do a CNAME lookup in DNS for

don't worry about this DNS error

I figure it might help to put this one in the archive. Having applied the AOL DNS patch (According to a previous post, AOL may have corrected the problem by now.), I'm wary of any DNS error messages when our customers send mail to AOL. Here's one not to worry about, other than informing the
