relaylock & authpsa-Spam?

[Werner Welsch]

Hello,

today I updated to Plesk 9.2.1.
Since then, i had two times a strange problem... there were hundreds of relaylock & authpsa processes in my process list leeching all my cpu. :-D

/var/log/mail.warn says e.g.:
[...]
May 3 23:27:33 server relaylock: /var/qmail/bin/relaylock: mail from 88.253.9.240:2022 (dsl88.234-2544.ttnet.net.tr)
May 3 23:27:41 server relaylock: /var/qmail/bin/relaylock: mail from 77.204.64.55:2891 (55.64.204-77.rev.gaoland.net)
May 3 23:28:13 server relaylock: /var/qmail/bin/relaylock: mail from 216.120.255.25:33056 (not defined)
May 3 23:28:16 server relaylock: /var/qmail/bin/relaylock: mail from 88.238.135.199:58277 (dsl88.238-34759.ttnet.net.tr)
[...]

I now deactivated SMTP-After-Pop and activated greylisting and I hope that this will solve the issue for now but maybe there is a better solution for fixing this problem.

Thanks for you help!

Any luck with a response or solution? I'm seeing the exact same thing here. Debian Etch.

I have the same probleme, but when I'm activate the greylisting I have thes message in mail.info :

I can't recived mail.

I have a partial solution rebuilt the Qmail configuration with /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/mchk

I have just one mailbox not working

I juste delete the domain and It's working

 

[mortenpoulsen]

Is there any other solutions to this? I tried running /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/mchk and while it seemed for a while to clear up the multiple relaylock sessions they soon reappeared.
How do I disable SMTP-After-Pop as suggested?

regards

Morten:

Same problem here - and everyone else, apparently. The SMTP after POP setting is in the mail server settings. (Home > Server > Mail Server Settings > Relay Options > POP3 [x] lock time...)

Keep in mind that your clients will need to authenticate to send mail whereas all they would have had to do before was check their mail first, so you'll be getting calls.
