netqmail 6

hi all...

just compiled and installed qmail netqmail 1.0.6 following the
instructions on lifewithqmail.

it's not the first time i'm intalling qmail but until now i always used
the original 1.0.3 and pached it myself. it always worked.
not with netqmail i have some problems.

it installs fine. and i start it with qmailctl start. i can see all the
normal processes. then if i do telnet host 25 from a remote. i get
'Connection refused'.

same thing if i do it on localhost.

the cdb file has only the very first 127. line and i redid a few times.

netstat doesn't show any smtp ports open... sendmail is off.

but:

# qmailctl stat
/service/qmail-send: up (pid 14896) 194 seconds
/service/qmail-send/log: up (pid 16466) 0 seconds

Ok

So the logging process for qmail-send is trying but failing to start

To find out what's wrong, see what readproctitle reports:
ps auxw | grep readproctitle

Re: netqmail 6 [In reply to]

thank you.

i rebuild the whole thing. now it seems to be working.

what was really weird is that i got logged errors like:
Remote_host_said:_421_out_of_memory_(#4.3.0)

and i started with: softlimit -m 5000000 and not 2000000 as default.
now with 7000000 it appears to be working. slow...

i have a current server running with softlimit -m 5000000 and it does
some filtering. it's not netqmail. it's just qmail with some patches.
this install without any filtering - jsut out of the box - needs
softlimit -m 7000000?!

why is that? is that normal for netqmail?

Re: netqmail 6 [In reply to]

is there a way to know which patches are bundled with netqmail 6? like a
list. http://www.qmail.org/netqmail/ dosnt mention anything in
particular (except QMAILQUEUE) and recommends a pair of other ones....

thanks...

I had a 64 bit install which gave those errors on memory: I gave it a
softlimit at 10000000 and it works great.
