Hello all, I've got a bit of a head scratcher here. I have a couple of XMail boxes setup to do relaying (no filtering of any kind) as backup MX servers and I've never really paid much attention but it appears that they relay received messages about 2-4 hours after it is received. I had someone complain about it recently so I did a bit of testing (and a couple of restarts, even though on a *nix box it shouldn't need it). Dates and times are correct on the servers.
I did a telnet session to localhost from this server (MX2) and sent a message to my office account (changed to myofficeacct in the text below) from this account and it really did take 4 hours to get through. Here's the log info: MX2:/var/MailRoot/logs # grep "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" smtp-200711200000 "pmnhg.net" "pmnhg.net" "127.0.0.1" "2007-11-20 08:05:07" "radtechnologies.net" "myofficeacct.com" "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" "[EMAIL PROTECTED] com" "S99747F" "RCPT=OK" "" "0" "" "pmnhg.net" "pmnhg.net" "127.0.0.1" "2007-11-20 08:05:22" "radtechnologies.net" "myofficeacct.com" "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" "[EMAIL PROTECTED] com" "S99747F" "RECV=OK" "" "15" "" MX2:/var/MailRoot/logs # grep "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" smail-200711200000 "pmnhg.net" "1195567522962.2820438944.1ca30.MX2" "S99747F" "[EMAIL PROTECTED] technologies.net" "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" "RLYS" "10.5.10.3" "2007-11 -20 12:09:01" MX2:/var/MailRoot/logs # date Tue Nov 20 12:14:10 CST 2007 I then did a telnet session to MX3 from MX2 and sent a message to my office account (changed to myofficeacct in the text below) from this account and it took 2 hours to get through.

All of the "l" are lower case "L"s. Kinda strange. I have to assume it's always done this. Any nuggets of wisdom on what I should look at? Both servers are XMail 1.24 on SLES10.1 thanks! - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
