hi: i just upgrade my qmail-scanner to 1.20 to enjoy spamassassin plugin. it works great in my home mail server, but i met some problems when upgrade my company's mail server. these problems are old, maybe exist for 2 years. but since i can not reproduce them in my home server, i just let it go. but several days ago somebody said he lost one important mail, he told my boss that maybe there is something wrong with our mail server. so i try to find out why. first i want to figure the old problems. i m using mandrake 9.2 + qmail 1.03 + vpopmail + qmail-scanner 1.20. qmail-scanner work with sophie and spamassassin. and i archive all the mails with "archiveit = 1".
1. there are zero sized mails in the archive. i ask this 2 years ago, but no fix. after looking at qmail-queue.log, i found that qmail-scanner will give up when g_e_h fail. eg: "g_e_h: no sender and no recips." qmail-scanner will call &cleanup and exit. but the zero sized mail is archived during cleanup step. so myabe it should set archiveit to "0" before calling cleanup to prevent this. like below: &debug("g_e_h: no sender and no recips."); $archiveit = 0; &cleanup; exit; but i m curious what cause this kind of mail? failed connection or something? i never see this in my home server. 2. there are some old mails in "qmailscan/tmp" and "qmailscan/working/tmp". i know qmail-scanner -z will clean "qmailscan/tmp". but i m curious again why these mails die there. and "qmailscan/working/tmp" is not cleaned by qmail-scanner, so i wonder these mails in "qmailscan/working/tmp" maybe lost??? 3. sometimes the same mail sent several times. i think this maybe vpopmail's problem, if some dot-qmail file wrong i know vpopmail will go crazy. but i want to make sure it's not related to qmail-scanner.. i m still checking our mail server. thanks for any advice !!
