Hi all ... Happy to be back for a question/suggestion again ....
I came accross this weird situation. I take care of a site running shorewall 3.0.5 in the firewall and qmail in the DMZ ( mail server ). A remote clients smtp server denies to accept more than one incomming smtp connections from my site :-(. In my site users are always sending mail to this server ( 50 - 60 per day ). So when an smtp transfer is on ... the next ones gets stuck in the queue and the message I get in the log is "Remote_host_said:_421_#4.4.5_Too_many_connections_from_your_host" and finally gets bounced ( 3 hour queue - life limit ) depending on the traffic of that particular date. I 've searched all qmail documentation but I was not able to find a way to limit the number of connections to remote smtp server. Is there a safe way to do this in shorewall ( One active smtp connection to a specific remote site only ) ??? With out mails getting bounced back to my users ??? Any help will be much appreciated as always ... Kind Regards Harry .... ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
