qmail + Outlook2003 + timeout error + POP

Hi all,

I'm getting 0x8004210A error in MS Outlook 2003(The operation timed out
waiting for a response from the receiving (POP) server). It is not about an
anti-virus program, I'm sure about it. I also checked it with thunderbird
and i got the same error again.

By the way a small detail, the server i'm working on it is configured by
another person and today i've rebooted the server. This error happened after
rebooting. Also my clients can look their mail from the web interface.

Is there anyone that can help me?

Regards

Is POP3 running on the server?

I suggest you give us (the list) some detail of your server setup,
such as what the logs say.

cheers,

Andrew.

Re: qmail + Outlook2003 + timeout error + POP [In reply to]

I'm working on a CentOs server with Linux version 2.6.18-53.1.13.el5xen.

Here is an output for:
# qmailctl stat
/service/qmail-send: up (pid 26603) 2897 seconds
/service/qmail-send/log: up (pid 23742) 3922 seconds
/service/qmail-smtpd: up (pid 23735) 3922 seconds
/service/qmail-smtpd/log: up (pid 23743) 3922 seconds
/service/qmail-pop3sd: up (pid 24304) 3734 seconds
/service/qmail-pop3sd/log: up (pid 9204) 0 seconds

and then again:
# qmailctl stat
/service/qmail-send: up (pid 26603) 3078 seconds
/service/qmail-send/log: up (pid 23742) 4103 seconds
/service/qmail-smtpd: up (pid 23735) 4103 seconds
/service/qmail-smtpd/log: up (pid 23743) 4103 seconds
/service/qmail-pop3sd: up (pid 24304) 3915 seconds
/service/qmail-pop3sd/log: up (pid 10134) 1 seconds

The pop3sd/log service seems not starting. Its pid is changing permanently.
However the pop3 service seems to me as running.

We are using stunnel for ssl connections.

I hope this information would be enough. Is there any more specific
information that you like to have?

P.s: Sorry for my bad english...

Regards

3 questions:

First, what's the content of the /service/qmail-pop3sd/log/run file?
Second, what's the output of the command `ps ax | grep readproctitle`?
Third, what happens when you attempt to run
/service/qmail-pop3sd/log/run yourself?

I should have also mentioned: this is your problem. The pop3 service
will eventually die if it cannot save out logs (the theory being: if
it's not being logged then it's doing things without your knowledge
and therefore it's not safe (e.g. a hacker would leave no evidence))

change the permissions on /var/log/qmail/pop3sd

chown qmaill /var/log/qmail/pop3sd
chmod 755 /var/log/qmail/pop3sd

restart pop3sd

So, you corrected the permissions... did the answers to my three

them below...

Alright, well, this is what we're trying to fix. Generally, in order
to log things, it needs to be able to read/write/lock the log
directory as the user specified in that file (in this case, qmaill).
Other basic permissions need to be set, of course, so that qmaill can
do all the basic operations specified in your run file. From the error
message, it looks like qmaill is unable to switch to
/service/qmail-pop3sd/log, and it needs to be able to do that. Fix
those permissions such that qmaill can do that, and try running that
log file again. If you get a new error message, fix it (or, if you
don't know what the error means, post it here and ask). If you get
completely lost, delete it, and start again, following the
instructions at http://www.lifewithqmail.com/lwq.html, and check your
work with the http://lifewithqmail.org/inst_check script.

Anyway, the long and short of your problem is that qmail-pop3d will
not function unless logging works, and it looks like that's your
problem. If you can get logging to work, qmail-pop3d should work.

Re: qmail + Outlook2003 + timeout error + POP [In reply to]

Hi again,

My problem changed a little bit.
# qmailctl stat
/service/qmail-send: up (pid 31937) 2749 seconds
/service/qmail-send/log: up (pid 18642) 332 seconds
/service/qmail-smtpd: up (pid 18644) 332 seconds
/service/qmail-smtpd/log: up (pid 18651) 332 seconds
/service/qmail-pop3sd: up (pid 19490) 0 seconds
/service/qmail-pop3sd/log: up (pid 18650) 332 seconds

As you see the service that doesn't working now is qmail-pop3sd itself.It
started logging. But here is the last 20 lines of the
/var/log/qmail/pop3sd/current

You need to see what's already using that address/port. See what the
port is in the /service/qmail-pop3d/run script, then see if you're
using that port in any of your other /service/xxx/run files. If not,
see if you have inetd or xinetd running: They may be using the
address/port (/etc/inetd.conf, /etc/xinetd.d/xxx).

cheers,

Andrew.
