I don't have anything to contribute or any suggestions to help you, but I wanted to post anyway to say that you have my sympathy. Double-damn spammers. Faris. thanx mate.. pretty sure i went grey that day.. what we found out was a user had a basic email password, a botnet had compromised this passw...

i take that back - even setting the variable to null qmail-scanner-queue.pl runs out of control. i downloaded psa-qmail from the art repository and re-installed it after removing qmail-scanner and finally emails are going through. I'll re-install qmail-scanner once the queue is flushed. damn spammer...

righto. finally after shutting everything down and using qmhandle we were able to purge 165,000 emails from the queue. looks like one of our clients pop3 accounts were compromised by a spammer/botnet and used to email out. biggest problem now is that with qmail-scanner, spamassassin and clamav runni...

the search function of the forums aren't produced results, looks like something has changed? anyway - got a strange problem, for some reason mail on our server has backed up as of this morning. i went through and changed a few things and suddenly it started processing, except the clamd process overw...

i seem to have this problem all the time, yet log rotation is on for all my sites

for anyone interested i found a way to test the responses http://www.thedjbway.org/djbrbl/rblsmtpd.html from shell/cli, TCPREMOTEIP="202.63.160.111" rblsmtpd -B -t 300 -r sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org echo "hello" i also added -b -t 300 to my /etc/xinetd.d/smtp_psa which changes the respo...

Try this first to see if they are blacklisted. If they don't know their IP, point them to whatismyip.com http://www.mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx hey scott, thanks for the url.. problem i need to verify tho is whether our server(s) are producing an NDR to people who are blocked or not, as if it isn...

We're running a number of Plesk 8 boxes (RHEL3 and RHEL4 based) with ART's packages.. Recently put in the RBL's zen.spamhaus.org, cbl.abuseat.org and bl.spamcop.net in the smtp_pas service checking This has done wonders for dropping down the rate of incoming spam and lowering SpamAssassin's overhead...

bugger!

howdy just found out one of my servers has been listed on SpamCop.. and after investigating the situation further the _only_ valid reason I can see for it is the fact it may have bounced a few spam emails back to their sender (standard reaction for NDR's) i have spamassassin, qmail-scanner, clamav, ...

sorry PLESK 8.0.1/RHEL3

I did some digging around further before, spamd is going ballistic with memory usage and the mail qmail-smtp process (where greylist is called) has high cpu usage..

Since we added qgreylist our servers have experienced a much 'cleaner' mail environment, like everyone else here can attest to.. which our clients love the only issue i have most recently found is that every now and then our load averages go through the roof - 20+ - which tends to bring other servic...

actually.. i thought up2date wasn't working because the 'listed' directory tree for ES4 is not actually correct.. I changed it to this: # Atomic yum atomic http://3es.atomicrocketturtle.com/atomic/art/4ES # Atomic App Vault yum atomic-app-vault http://3es.atomicrocketturtle.com/atomic/app-vault # SW...

yer, hadn't noticed until today but this occurred on my server as well..
ES3/Plesk8.0.1

removing qgreylist and re-installing via yum, then restarting xinetd however fixed the problem..

As Scott said, check PS and see if spam assassin is actually running ps ax | grep spam 606 ? S 0:51 /usr/bin/spamd -d -c -m10 -H -r /var/run/spamd.pid 20357 ? S 1:06 spamd child 25775 ? S 0:30 spamd child also check the maillog either less /var/log/maillog or less /usr/local/psa/var/log/maillog I ha...
