    Sendmail performance tuning

    If you're overloading the server, then you're overloading the server and there is nothing you can do about it. Buy another server and use one for the sending process, leaving the other one for your normal company email.

    Memory stats and sleeping process

    Your memory stats show that you have 1.5 GB of total RAM, of which 920KB has not been used yet. Usage is approximately 175KB used as buffers, 195KB used for cache, and the remainder is what your programs are actually using (1500 - 920 - 175 - 195), which is about 210 KB. The reason your system...

    Bulk rename files in Redhat

    Here's a different tact. Run it through a loop and modify each filename individually: [todd@tlyons ~/test]$ touch 17142509192005.txt 17410709192005.txt 17413209192005.txt [todd@tlyons ~/test]$ ls 17142509192005.txt 17410709192005.txt 17413209192005.txt [todd@tlyons ~/test]$ for F in *.txt; do...

    Problem with sendmail and apache running on different servers

    My gut reaction is: Drop the ":25" from the IP address. Port 25 is implied when doing smtp connections. Test to make sure that a firewall or local firewall rules aren't blocking traffic from your server: telnet 192.168.0.4 25 You should see a banner that says what mail server it is. Just type...

    Sendmail issues

    You are running Exim, which provides /usr/sbin/sendmail binary which emulates many of the standard sendmail commands, but does not have the full implementation. That's problem number one, but it's only a minor problem in that that sendmail binary only supports a subset of the real sendmail...

    Procmail to Perl : Match subject and pass body

    You haven't told the regex what to match. Quoting from man procmailrc: \/ Splits the expression in two parts. Everything matching the right part will be assigned to the MATCH environment variable. So if your pattern was: * ^Subject: \/.*Daily Audit.* and the actual message...

    IP Address listed at http://cbl.abuseat.org

    Without the actual IP your machine is, it's impossible to know exactly why yours is being blocked. Give the IP and someone can get detailed info and prescribe a fix.

    perl relocation error

    My system is Mandriva 2006.0, but the same theory applies. The first command tells me what package owns the file it's complaining about, the second command lists all packages with that pattern. Check to make sure that the version numbers all match with the second command: [todd@tlyons ~]$ rpm...

    Help with AUTH using a pop client

    Next time this happens, see what is going on with your mail server by testing it manually: [todd@tlyons ~]$ telnet smtp.ivenue.com 25 Trying 64.14.201.31... Connected to smtp.ivenue.com (64.14.201.31). Escape character is '^]'. 220 smtp2.ivenue.com ESMTP Sendmail 8.13.4/8.13.4; Tue, 28 Feb 2006...

    user verification via ldap

    There are a few things to keep in mind when using sendmail with LDAP on the backend: 1) sendmail can only do anonymous LDAP binds, you can't specify a user DN and password 2) sendmail must see the user as a real system user (whether or not the user can actually login at a prompt has no bearing)...

    Strange incomplete error message "read open error: drive status is"

    Our Networker is version 7.1.2, Build 325. We have a single Linux box with two Sony 10 tape jukeboxes (1 drive each) directly attached. After 3 years of relatively troublefree operation, we all of a sudden had both jukeboxes start to give us problems at nearly the same time. Jukebox1 had to...

    RC scripts in Redhat

    I'm going to try to tie together a few different posts above to make a clear, concise solution: Near the top of the nasd init script (but not before the first line) put the following line. The leading # is important: # chkconfig: 2345 91 35 Then run: chkconfig --add nasd chkconfig --list nasd...

    SMTP parameters and mailx

    Nivo, since everybody is using the mailx command, we'll assume that we'll not try to open up sendmail to outside IP addresses. You seem to have a properly functioning mta (mail transfer agent) on your machine already, though it may not be a full mta. Find out what mail server is installed. I...

    Promise FastTrak or PERC 3/DCL

    The kernel in RHE 4.0 should support that controller without needing any drivers direct from dell. We use CentOS 4.x on the PERC3/i machines with no problems. It installs with no problems.

    postfix setup

    For some reason, when you are user mike, it still tries to look for /var/spool/mail/duke (unless you made a typo in the description). If you are using su to change from use duke to mike, then try adding a dash: su - mike If you're logging in as mike, then there's something weird in the bash...

    Failed linux RAID mirror - Help!

    Boot using a Knoppix CD. It has fantastic recovery capabilities. By default it won't mount the partitions it does find, but it puts directories in /mnt for partitions that it finds, so a simple 'mount /mnt/hdb2' would work. Since you're using raid, it might change things a bit, but if you can...

    Read from pop3 and forward to smtp

    You can either do this at the system level or at the user level. System Level Edit the /etc/mail/aliases file and use this format: user1: you@gmail.com user2: you@gmail.com user3: someoneelse@gmail.com, you@gmail.com You'll want to restart sendmail after you make these changes (which on most...

    fdisk creates new partition does not show on /proc/partitions

    Background: partition numbers 1 through 4 are referred to as primary partitions. Partitions 5 through 20 are referred to as secondary partitions. A primary partition is used to create the secondary partitions (ie just subdividing one of the primary partitions). More background: the linux...

    Sendmail hostname lookup failure

    Your sendmail is saying it's sending mail from root@sendmail_hostname. Your mail server is saying that it's asking a public DNS server if sendmail_hostname exists and it's getting back the answer no. Either give your sendmail machine a valid publicly resolvable hostname, or make it masquerade...

    linux hangs running sendmail

    If there are no network fs's then I'm not sure what could be causing all of those processes to go to the D state at the same time. Something on your system is happening, you think it's sendmail related, I'm not so sure. But either way, it's happening at the same time each night. What cron...
