    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.

Qmail Problem - qmail-smtpd exited by timeout

W

winnet

Guest
Hi,

I've a problem about my qmail smtp server.

I've looked at the maillog file and I've seen many warning messages such as:

"qmail-queue[19682]: possible qmail-smtpd exited by timeout, reset connection or with "See http://pobox.com/~djb/docs/smtplf.html."

What is the possible cause and solution?

Best regards

Stefano
 
Hi,

To eliminate this problem, stop Qmail process and replace qmail-queue, qmail-local and qmail-remote with the qmail-queue.moved, qmail-local.moved and qmail-remote.moved accordingly:

# cd /var/qmail/bin
# cp -p qmail-local.moved qmail-local
# cp -p qmail-remote.moved qmail-remote
# cp -p qmail-queue.moved qmail-queue

If you face any problems replaising these files, you can stop thses processes forsible and then try to replace them:
# killall qmail-remote qmail-queue qmail-local

Make sure that the permissions and ownersips are right:
# ls -la qmail-queue qmail-local qmail-remote
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root qmail 44060 Jun 13 2006 qmail-local
-r-s--x--x 1 qmailq qmail 15784 Jan 26 14:06 qmail-queue
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root qmail 43364 Jun 13 2006 qmail-remote

Thank you this solved a problem for me. I got the message 451 qq internal bug (#4.3.0) when i tried to send an email from the command line.

I have no idea what it all did but all my mailboxes work now.

From within horde email I got an error 110

All gone, thanks!

Thanks, that fix error message 451 qq internal bug (#4.3.0). Is this a bug or what could have cause this problem? Thank you?
 
# cd /var/qmail/bin

# cp -p qmail-remote.moved qmail-remote
# cp -p qmail-queue.moved qmail-queue
