Upgrade to 10.4.4 - check-quota filter errors

[fearz]

Any words from developers Igor?

 

[IgorG]

Still under investigation.

 

[fearz]

Any update is highly appreciated...

 

[IgorG]

I have received following information from developers:

Looks like a problem with this mailbox. I can't recognize a root cause because there're no any logs for 8-th of January and this mailbox on the customer's machine.

 

[fearz]

Huh? Which mailbox? which machine? - This error is reproduced by ANY sent or received email within my server...not with a specific mailbox...

 

[fearz]

Oh and all the logs are in /var/log/maillog

 

[IgorG]

I think that he talk about server with login credentials that you have provided.

 

[fearz]

These are the commands they did:
990 less /usr/local/psa/var/log/maillog
991 less /usr/local/psa/var/log/maillog.processed
992 less /usr/local/psa/var/log/maillog.processed

They looked at the wrong log files...all my maillog is in /var/log/maillog

Please ask them to connect and check once again as I need this fixed please..

Correct place for Plesk maillog is /usr/local/psa/var/log/maillog
Why do you think that your Plesk installation has /var/log/maillog for maillog location?

Igor, I am very surprised with where this conversation is heading...

I am the one who chose to have my mail logs in /var/log/maillog

Is there a problem in that? Shouldn't we focus on the problem itself please?

Thank you very much

 

[IgorG]

I showed our discussion to developers and they will continue investigation.

 

[fearz]

Thank you and I will be eagerly waiting for their kind support

I also see these errors also on new install

I also see these errors on a pretty fresh install of PPP 10.4.4. However, I see the errors in the context of a spammer trying to send spam to a non-existent user and then bouncing the email.

Here is a snipit from my logs located in /var/log/psa/maillog. Note the fourth line "check-quota filter." Why does it check the quota on a nonexistent user?

Any updates?

I can observe this error at four machines running 10.4.4.
Mail is still delivered, but error log is filled by this.

[nucknuck]

Does someone know how to avoid this check of quota in general?
Where is it function defined?

 

[Red Paint]

Hello, we are also seeing this problem after an upgrade from 10.3.1 to 10.4.4 on 2012-01-20 on one of our production servers. Mail quota checks are being run on external email addresses, something is definitely wrong.

Igor do we have any update on this bug?

Thanks

 

[nucknuck]

Update? Even no reply ...

 

[IgorG]

I sometimes get this as well:

Jan 7 21:53:51 xxxcheck-quota filter[26310]: stat('/var/qmail/mailnames/xxxx.com/xxxx/Maildir') failed. Permission denied: 13
..........

You have a lost suid bits for quota-check handler:

-rwxrwxrwx 1 popuser postfix 35732 Nov 2 14:37 check-quota

 

[burnleyvic]

Same here, heaps of 'Failed to run' entries
grep "Failed to run '/usr/sbin/postalias -q " /usr/local/psa/var/log/maillog| wc -l
447

# /usr/sbin/postalias -q [email protected] hash:/var/spool/postfix/plesk/virtual
# echo $?
1
# /usr/sbin/postalias -q [email protected] hash:/var/spool/postfix/plesk/virtual
[email protected]
# echo $?
0

Looks like check_quota filter dumbly runs this command for all the recipients instead of discriminating between local and non-local users, returning failure for non-zero exit code. The filter should instead, *I think*, check postalias exit code and proceed with the quota check on zero exit code only.
I wouldn't worry about these log entries, they're just annoying, otherwise pretty harmless. Unless the server does a very large number of deliveries.
