Re: [vchkpw] Vpopmail mysql and aborted clients

2007-10-06 Thread egoitz
So then no matter for worrying about this? This can't break the database
or... don't know cause any type of problem... or should I do any conf in
authdaemon for this to be avoided? or is this normal and nothing happens
with it?

Thanks a lot!!!

 As told in other messages, the way of playing is different.

 Each vpopmail/qmail program usually executes brieftly and opens and
 closes MySQL, so there are no abnormal exits.

 When courier plays (both imap and pop), it asks auth data to
 courier's auth daemon.

 When this daemon is started, it opens MySQL and never closes it, as
 it supposes to reuse continuosly the same opened connection.

 But if none is going to use the connection for eigth hours, MySQL
 itself closes the connection.

 This will be opened again automatically by vpopmail library in
 courier's daemon, but you see an error in MySQL stats.

 Hope I've been clear.

 I thought this was addressed in a recent version of vpopmail?
 
  Yes, but you see in the logs that some connections have been dropped.

  Yep but wait a minute! if you have a machine in wich you only run
 qmail
  for mail scanning or smtp relay, or even with qmail-pop3d you don't
 get
  those aborted clients... but if you run there pop and imap with
 couier, so
  the problem occurs when you use courier... if you don't use it... you
  don't see any error... and both use vpopmail equally aren't they
 (courier
  and qmail) ?
 
  if you have for example qmail-smtpd with smtp auth only and of course
  vpopmail you will never have that errors...
 
  and you go to ask to courier and they say is a vpopmail question...
 but
  vpopmail works fine with qmail-smtpd!!!
 
  this was an important detail I forgot to tell yesterday...
 
  could this give you any more clue???

If your courier still works without you need to restart it, it means 
you already have vpopmail in the right configuration, and you are 
only facing a log warning (which reason is now known).

Either restarted authdaemon if this happens or upgrade vpopmail. This 
should not break the database. It just affects your imap connections.


Or change your my.cnf for mysql to allow unlimited timeout's.  That's 
what I did (Well I actually set it to 4 days).

You'll need to give something specific here.  Bill Shupps Toaster is widely 
popular.  I use it myself and have no issues with performance.  What are the 
specifications of the hardware you've implemented it on.  What specifically is 
performing slow?  Is there anything else on this server?  Approximately how 
many mailboxes are housed on this server?  How many deliveries per 
second/minute/hour/day (whatever is easiest to convey) and do you have any idea 
what your peak concurrent deliveries are?  You need to provide as much 
information as possible before asking such a general question.

Hi Tren,

Sorry. My english is not good :).

My server is dual xeon 2.4 with 2 Gb RAM and HD SCSI 73 Gb.
I have problems with delivery delay when my server is with many connections 
POP3 and SMTP.
I use isoqlog to analyze my email traffic, but I don´t have stats of POP3 
and connections with my SMTP (RBL, no delivery, ...). Exists any software to 
analyze POP3 and SMTP log?

When my server is slow, I have:
SMTP concurrent: 40 - 50
POP3 concurrent: 20 - 30
Load Average: 30 - 40

I have many SMTP connections with not existing recipient.

My server was very good. Between last monday and last friday it is very 
slow.

How can I identify a possible attack?

Thank you
Joao
