Problem with dovecot on directadmin?

bostko · Mar 17, 2009

When I recieve messeges from gmail I recieve about 5-6 messeges in one hour. On all messeges it is written that they are sent at the same time.

Please anybody help me. I'm still recieving the same letters. This is what I'm talking about.

I've never seen anything like that. It would be helpful to see a set of logs (/var/log/exim/mainlog) related to those messages.

EDIT: well, now that I think about it, there is one easy trigger for this to happen: set a forwarding address to itself. It wouldn't send infinite message because of internal controls to the header, and I know that DA's exim conf sends the message to the inbox AND forwards it too, so that may be your case.

Here is a part from the /var/log/exim/mainlog . You see that at 15:44 17:59 I'm receiving the same message since one week.

tillo, can you explain me in details how to configure exim so it won't forward messages like that?

tillo · Mar 19, 2009

Check inside "/etc/virtual/lionmv.com/aliases" and remove the line "office: [email protected]".
I think that is the problem, if it's not there may be some more interesting logs; what you pasted was just the delivery log lines, you should be able to find the receiving and processing log lines just before those.

This last log is not about duplicated messages, the sizes are different in both directions.
Your aliases file is ok by the way, it must be something else.

To check the exim conf try:

Code:

exim -bt '[email protected]'

and post here the results. This command will print any routing function used by exim to deliver the Email, this way we will maybe understand what's happening.

If you want to try Real debugging, try with:

Code:

exim -d -v '[email protected]'

it's hard to read, but this will tell you exactly which syscalls are launched, which variables are set etc.

The "normal" debug seems ok.

For the second, it's only partial. To have a complete listing of debugging messages, launch the same exact command (exim -d -v '[email protected]'), then when arrived to "search_tidyup called" write this:

Code:

From: <[email protected]>(enter)
(enter)
(here it rewrites the From header)
(Ctrl+d)

then it will continue and print a few hundreds lines. Copy/paste them

Ok, I read it and it seems all right. Did you receive that message more than once?

If not, try the same thing with "From: <[email protected]>".
If yes, the problem is definitely in your Email client or webmail, not in exim.

bostko · Mar 20, 2009

It seems normal I don't receive more messages now. The strange thing is that this problem occurs for some e - mails like this and google adsense support system and a few more messeges from ispsystem. The strange thing is that when I try to send e mails from my account in gmail and abv everything seems fine I don't receive the same messeges for days

tillo · Mar 20, 2009

Well, I can't help you more, sorry. Hope you find what the problem is and write the answer here

other people may have the same problem in the future.

EDIT: you are a lucky man: one of my hosted friends just had the same problem on a DA server of mine!
He has been receiving the same message over and over again for the last couple days, I looked up into the logs and there it is:

Code:

2009-03-20 22:05:10 1LklgF-0004W8-5B ** [email protected] F=<[email protected]> R=spamcheck_director T=spamcheck: Child process of spamcheck transport (running command "/usr/sbin/exim -oMr spam-scanned -bS") was terminated by signal 11 (Segmentation fault)
2009-03-20 22:05:10 1Lkltu-00050v-4R <= <> R=1LklgF-0004W8-5B U=mail P=local S=15904 T="Mail delivery failed: returning message to sender" from <> for [email protected]
2009-03-20 22:05:10 1LklgF-0004W8-5B Completed
2009-03-20 22:05:10 1Lkltu-00050v-4R => [email protected] F=<> R=lookuphost T=remote_smtp S=16211 H=a.mx.ailab.ch [130.60.75.60] X=TLSv1:DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:256 C="250 Ok: queued as B25D01C4F52D"
2009-03-20 22:05:10 1Lkltu-00050v-4R Completed

As you can see, the message with ID 1LklgF-0004W8-5B arrives and the spamassassin check fails, then exim creates an error message 1Lkltu-00050v-4R ready to be sent back to the sender address. The problem is that just after that, 1LklgF-0004W8-5B's delivery gets completed anyway, so when the error is sent the sender (which is an automatic software, a mailing list) send the original message again an hour later or so and the cycle continues. I guess Google Adsense's support has a similar retry system (which, by the way, is probably not RFC).

I just restarted exim (and spamd), I suggest doing to same hoping the problem solves itself (/etc/init.d/exim restart). If it happens again I'll have to check why spamassassin or exim are failing the spam check on that message.
I checked my logs, and that message is the only one failing between hundreds, it's really weird.

I'll update the thread if I find anything else.

I found this thread, about the same problem: http://www.directadmin.com/forum/showthread.php?p=132970
Someone solved the problem by compiling the last version of exim by hand. I'm going to search further and see why Debian Lenny's repository has this bugged version (4.62-1, patched to 4.67) and if there is another one.
EDIT: I realize now, this exim package is from DA:

Code:

$ apt-cache show exim |grep Maintainer
Maintainer: directadmin

Can please DA create a fixed package, based on a recent version of exim? Thanks.

EDIT: it seems like they already wrote a guide on how to update the exim binary: http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=125
It's not a very clean solution... but I did it, and now I'm waiting to see if it's working.
Of course it would be better to have a complete da_exim-4.69 debian package instead of overwriting the binary of da_exim-4.67...

EDIT2: the problem has been solved that way, no more segfaults.

I upgrade to the newest Directadmin debian package, however, I'm still having the same issues.

I used the package here: http://files.directadmin.com/services/debian_5.0/da_exim-4.69.deb

What should I try next?

DirectAdmin Support · May 19, 2009

Hello tillo,

Can you confirm if you're using Debian 5? The binaries are all built against Debian 4, which is likely where the issues are coming from. The Debian 5 testing phase right now is to see if the old binaries work on Deb 5, but it seems it's a bit random when they do, and when they don't, so we'll have to create another build system for Debian 5 to get proper packages created for everything (directadmin, dataskq, and all deb files)

For anyone with issues with deb files for on Debian 5, you'll need to recompile from source. For exim, as tillo mentioned, this is the guide:
http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=125

To monitor to see when we have the real Debian 5 binaires uploaded, keep an eye on the http://files.directadmin.com/services/debian_5.0/files.sh. Right now it shows "filesh_path=debian_3.1". Once you see it say "filesh_path=debian_5.0", then it will mean the debain_5.0 directory is no longer a symbolic link to debian_3.1, and these new files should be ok. (3.1 and 4.0 were essentially transparent, didn't appear to have any issues between versions)

Hi John,

Yes, the system was Debian 5, upgraded from Debian 4 a while ago.

Even if that was the only problem I've seen on my system since the upgrade, I strongly suggest rebuilding the binaries with the new libraries: during the upgrade I've seen a lot of libraries known to have different APIs upgrading.

Problem with dovecot on directadmin?
