Topic: SMTP problems after upgrade to 6.0b3

Problems persist,  users are complaining about not receving mail and outgoing mail is also slow -- a result of a poor transfer? -- box is a Poweredge 2.6 GHz with 160 Gb mirrored drives -- RAM is only 128 Mb -- got more RAM ordered -- Thoughts? logs to look at?

Try using the top command to see what processes are running and what the average queue wait is like.

Could also use vmstat.

If in doubt after that copy and paste the screens here for us to have a look.

What does the qmail log say?

PeterG.

p.s. memory requirement for 6.0 is 128mb so anything more will be a good improvement.

top reports 98% idle --

Problem is clearer now -- we are not receiving mail from the outside -- Any mail from a server user can reach another server user, but if that user tries to email himself -- say from a Yahoo account -- it does not come in -- I did a test at dnsreport.com -- it tells me that I have no reverse DNS -- this would have more effect on outgoing mail though , riight? This is a new problem with the server upgrade. The MX records at sprint look fine mail.froglevel.net is in the local names

qmail logs seem ok  -- upgraded from 6.03b to 6.0 final with a ws backup and restore to a new computer -- Charlie Brady's fix  made a lot of things work that were broken -- wonder if there is something else along those lines

I found it -- stoopid fiddling with port forwarding about 6 or 7 rebuilds/restores ago
