qmail-queue crashed.

[slotthansen]

I'm having a live mail server and lately I've been having a major issue with mails containing attachments larger than 200 kb.

All over my log I see:

@400000004187a1820cf0f33c smtpfront-qmail[9420]: MAIL FROM:<xxx@dangaard.dk>
@400000004187a1820f0def6c smtpfront-qmail[9420]: RCPT TO:<xxx@midtsj-radio.dk>

@400000004187a18425fbb77c tcpserver: status: 0/40


I've been looking all over the net and it seems that no one has ever had the same problem - so please help me as I'm going nuts looking for the needle in the haystack :-(

slotthansen,

Do you have a /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run file?
If so, change the line that begins exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit
to
exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 40000000 \

I've been down that road

Here is my run file


#!/bin/sh
# when QMAILQUEUE is set, all mail will be sent to the nominated script
QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue.pl" export QMAILQUEUE

QMAILDUID=`id -u qmaild`
NOFILESGID=`id -g qmaild`

exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 40000000 \
/usr/bin/tcpserver -H -R -v -p -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb \
-u $QMAILDUID -g $NOFILESGID 0 smtp rblsmtpd /var/qmail/bin/smtpfront-qmail 2>&1

What is "smtpfront-qmail" ???

[slotthansen]

Well it's the thing that handles the qmail mail delivery.

 

[thedaver]

The qmail implementations I've built use

/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd

in this position. I was wondering if you're using some replacement SMTP server product instead of the qmail code.

Hmmmm, I did try to install SPAMASSASASIN and follow a walk through. So maybe it's the spam thingy causing all the trouble...

I'll try this one and see what happens...

 

[thedaver]

Spamassassin installs normally don't replace the core qmail-smtpd binary.

Perhaps a change in the instructions or a symlink was suggested?
