RE: [SAtalk] Spamc on remote host

[Tony Bunce]

I have tried this with no success, The issue we are having is that it can take upto 4 mins for spamc to realize that the spamd host is not running.  I have tried to use the –t option with spamc but that only seams to effect how long spamc will wait on spamd after the connection is made.  If I stop the spamd process on the remote host, mail is delivered fine, but if the remote host drops off the network, this is what the error log is showing:   Here is an example of the log file when this is happening: Jul  8 14:03:10 mail1 spamc[14952]: connect() to spamd at 10.1.1.100 failed, retrying (1/3): Connection timed out Jul  8 14:04:44 mail1 spamc[14952]: connect() to spamd at 10.1.1.100 failed, retrying (2/3): No route to host Jul  8 14:05:30 mail1 spamc[14952]: connect() to spamd at 10.1.1.100 failed, retrying (3/3): No route to host Jul  8 14:05:31 mail1 spamc[14952]: connection attempt to spamd aborted after 3 retries   Jul  8 13:58:51 mail1 spamc[14619]: connect() to spamd at 10.1.1.100 failed, retrying (1/3): No route to host Jul  8 14:02:01 mail1 spamc[14619]: connect() to spamd at 10.1.1.100 failed, retrying (2/3): Connection timed out Jul  8 14:05:11 mail1 spamc[14619]: connect() to spamd at 10.1.1.100 failed, retrying (3/3): Connection timed out Jul  8 14:05:12 mail1 spamc[14619]: connection attempt to spamd aborted after 3 retries   As you can see we are getting two different error messages in the log file, No Route to host and Connection Timed Out During testing we were running spamc out of procmail with –d 10.1.1.100 –t 15 as the options   Anyone have any ideas?   Thanks, Tony B, CCNA, Network+ Systems Administration GO Concepts, Inc. / www.go-concepts.com Are you on the GO yet?

Mail will then be delivered as normal, but without any SA info.   Thomas -----Original Message----- From: Tony Bunce [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 11, 2003 5:05 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [SAtalk] Spamc on remote host Is anyone here using spamc on a remote host system wide?    If so what are you doing to ensure that if the spamd system fails that mail will still be delivered?   Thanks, Tony B, CCNA, Network+ Systems Administration GO Concepts, Inc. / www.go-concepts.com Are you on the GO yet?
