I've been running qpsmtpd-async for years on all sorts of servers.
Likely I have something in DNS setup slightly wrong on a new server I'm setting up + what's wrong escapes me. The symptom is qpsmtpd-async hanging forever in the HELO sequence. Both forkserver + prefork work fine + async works so much better, I'd like to resolve this problem. Here's an example of the problem... Listen child making a Qpsmtpd::PollServer for 7. 11869 in config(plugins) 11869 config(plugins) returning (resolve_sender_host dont_require_anglebrackets rcpt_simple t...@newswire.net ch...@newswire.net d...@newswire.net supp...@newswire.net account...@newswire.net sa...@newswire.net debr...@newswire.net maildir /cluster/clients/ivan-budimir %d/users/%l/Maildir) from cache DNS failure looking for 127.0.0.1 after 0 secs (looked for 1, got 0) 11869 (connect) running plugin: resolve_sender_host 11869 (connect) resolve_sender_host: DEBUG: ip=127.0.0.1 host=localhost domain=localhost 11869 Plugin resolve_sender_host, hook connect returned DECLINED, 11869 in config(smtpgreeting) 11869 config(smtpgreeting) returning (Ready!) from cache Notice this line emitted from ParaDNS...
