At 1:59 PM -0400 9/5/07, Paul Galati imposed structure on a stream
of electrons, yielding:
13:05:07 1 SMTP(tcp) Failed to accept connection from [85.61.15.69:4727].
Error Code=-3158, OTLook=16, State=4
after this statement is written to the log file, SIMS will no longer
receive smtp connections. I have to change the receive connections to
zero, save, then change to 50 again for new incoming connections to take
place. When I change the smtp receive connections to zero, I get a
listener unbind failed message in the log. Turning off RBL seems to
reduce the frequency of this message, but not eliminate it. The computer
reboot itself each morning
Any suggestions?
Is this SIMS on Classic under OS X?
If so, just don't do that. It's unstable and the networking is flaky.
On the other hand, you can assure that it remains working most of the
time on that sort of setup by writing a cron job to kill and relaunch
SIMS every hour or so.
I've seen this problem in other circumstances as well, but don't have
a solid understanding of it beyond the circumstances where it hits:
OpenTransport listeners (e.g. Carbon/Classic/OS9) behind NAT and
under heavy connection load.
(OT geekery follows)
The -3158 OT result code means that a program tried to do something
with an OT endpoint which was impossible because of a pending
unhandled event on that endpoint and that the application has to
figure out the event by calling OTLook() which is returning '16'
meaning that the endpoint has received a disconnect. If the program
is expecting to be able to connect that endpoint, and doesn't
understand that sometimes a misbehaving peer or NAT device will get
you into an irrational state where all you can do is re-initialize
the listener, it ends up hung like this.
