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!
