Slow pop3
From QMail-Toaster
This applies to standard installation of Centos 5+xwindows/Mandriva 7 with QT.
Subject related to slow login to the pop3 server, the login prompts after 60 seconds or more, rest of the QT works as it should.
As most people and myself was convinced about this matter, is a DNS
problem in a network enviroment like this:
Internet <-> Firewall/Router ( Public IP nat/portforwarding ) <-> QT server wtih LAN IP ( Non public IP )
Edit the file: nano /var/qmail/supervise/pop3/run
Add the missing settings after /usr/bin/tcpserver, It should look like
this:
#!/bin/sh
PASSPROG="/home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw" HOSTNAME=`hostname --fqdn` exec /usr/bin/softlimit -m 9000000 \ /usr/bin/tcpserver -v -R -H -l0 -c 200 0 110 \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup $HOSTNAME \ $PASSPROG /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 2>&1
Very important -> !!! Reboot the server !!!
qmailctl cdb/restart will not do the trix.
Thanks to Firdaus Tjahyadi/mandriva tester, everyone else for tips and ideas and http://cr.yp.to :)
