Hi Viktor,
Normaly at this time I have lot of mail in the incoming, but with
your modification nothing... the response of the server, and the mail
process are perfect THANK YOU !
I have just a little question, how can I disable de qmgr logging ?
In a "normal" case I am interrested in the log by the
smtpd/smtp/delevery agents activity (mail come from, go to filter, go to
dest...), but not by the cleanup/qmgr activity... what do you think ?
Best regards.
Francis

Yes... I changed the syslog config.
# Log all the mail messages in one place.

See you tomorrow at this time there is less activity on the server.
I hope the problem is solved, because since we activated the RDNS/HELO/IP
checks and put the server on internet the system log activity increase a lot
of...
Just one question how can the qmgr blocked be by the syslog ?
The queue manager writes a log entry every time it moves a file from
"incoming" to "active". If syslog is not servicing the log socket in
a timely fashion, these writes will block. With smtpd and cleanup and
spam filters wring piles of logs in parallel, the qmgr does not stand
a chance...
Also make sure your log socket is a datagram socket, not a stream socket,
otherwise logs are recorded (badly) out of order, and syslogd does not
scale to hundreds/thousands of processes (smtpd, cleanup, delivery agents)
connecting via stream sockets at the same time.
