Re: Please help - something is strange

[James Beam]

Thank you.   -H -R helped, but it really started to work the way I expected it to when I added -l {localhostname}   So my line now looks like this:   -H -l mail1.biznizweb.com -R   I suspect it has something to do with reverse lookup on the local host (the -l option bypasses this local check apparently). This IP address is only temporary, as I will be co-locating this Mail server at a local ISP for our company use, so I did not have any reverse entry put in place for the IP address. I am going to put a reverse in place and see if my suspicions pan out.   Now, with the daemons screaming like the should be, I can test this using the RieserFS to see if it has any impact on sending a snarf load of mail through the server :)   Thanks again to all of you who responded.   James Beam BiznizWEB, Inc. ----- Original Message ----- From: Luca Zancan To: James Beam Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 27, 2000 12:59 AM Subject: Re: Please help - something is strange Try to add "-H" and "-R" switches: /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -uXXX -gXXX  -H -R 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup biznizweb.com /mail/bin/vchkpw /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir & (similarly with smtpd) if this does not change the situation, add the switch "-l<IP address of your server>" too. This works fine on my RedHat6.0 with Qmail-1.03. Bye, Luca James Beam wrote: I just finished installing vpopmail-4.8.6 on SUSE 6.4 Linux. I have everything working, but I am noticing a serious delay when trying to check mail via POP3 - it takes almost 20 seconds before the server will respond. It does this on both SMTP and POP3. Now this server is running a PIII600 with 256meg RAM - and no live domains are currently running on it. You can see the delay by telneting to 206.20.158.62 ports 110 and 25 - it will take 20 or so seconds before the server will even respond! Qmail 1.03 w/DNS and Tarpit patchucspi-tcp-0.88vpopmail-4.8.6daemontools-0.70 That is what I am running. Here is my POP3 start string: /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -uXXX -gXXX 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup biznizweb.com /mail/bin/vchkpw /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir & All one line (in case your client wraps it) Please, if anyone can help or make a suggestion. Thanks in advance, James BeamBiznizWEB, Inc. -- __________________________________________________ Luca Zancan Logica S.r.l. e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] URL http://www.logicaonline.com __________________________________________________
