This evening one of my customers emailed me saying it took 3 days to deliver an email... I investigated what was happening:
running qmail-qstat, I saw that messages in queue were around 8000+
In the plesk admin, I had relaying turned on with authorization required (pop3 lock 20min & SMTP)
I disabled relaying to see if I could get the queue back down to normal, and do research on what caused the problem.
Even after disabling relay completely, I was able to send SMTP emails from my home outlook account to the server. I see this in the logs:
Apr 22 00:03:30 air44 qmail-queue: dwlib[5924]: scan: the message(drweb.tmp.syvUvH) sent by [email protected] to [email protected] should be passed without checks, because contains uncheckable addresses
Apr 22 00:03:30 air44 qmail: 1145682210.136352 new msg 5284285
Apr 22 00:03:30 air44 qmail: 1145682210.136474 info msg 5284285: bytes 756 from <[email protected]> qp 5925 uid 2020
I verified that I could send SMTP from another server also without any type of auth and I get the same exact logging, and my queue grows.
I see that the xinet.d smtp_psa file is still disable = no, and my server args are:
/var/qmail/bin/relaylock /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd /var/qmail/bin/smtp_auth /var/qmail/bin/true /var/qmail/bin/cmd5checkpw /var/qmail/bin/true
I'm still receiving spam, and I'm really at a loss here... Please help!
