piler SMTP Connection Time out

[manickam_kagamalai]

Hi

When I submitting the message to few some message are accepting after that its say temporarily suspend when I am checking log from my server.

My Mail server have huge volume per hour 10000 receiving. all the message to archiving using always_bcc = [e-mail].

So this case how do I improve the piler performance accepting all the message very fast .

Please advise ... Or can I use postfix and how to setup

Thanks Manickam

Please check if piler is accepting emails, I mean you should see in the mail logs that piler is processing emails. 10k messages per hour should be no problem for piler.

However piler uses a pre-forking model, and by default it forks 10 child processes, so it means that piler can receive 10 emails paralel. The question is whether postfix (of zimbra) tries to deliver more than 10 simultaneously?

Hi

Yes, I am using Zimbra mail server and deliver the all archive ( bcc message ) mail to piler system,there is anyway to increase the receiving mail capacity ? more than 10 because our volume of message huge

Edit piler.conf, and increase number_of_worker_processes. Then restart the piler daemon.

Thank you, How much i can give ? any maximum limit is there ? Thanks Manickam

I'd say be conservative, and let's raise it to 20. It should match the default parallel delivery option value you have in main.cf of postfix.

Hi, I updated to 100, but no luck its say after some message getting below error

Dec 10 06:05:36 topmx postfix/error[412]: 439D8140B13: to=[e-mail], relay=none, delay=380, delays=380/0/0/0, dsn=4.4.1, stat us=deferred (delivery temporarily suspended: connect to mailarchiver2.mydomain.in[172.16.1.21]:25: Connection timed out)

kindly advise how we can fix this ? but one think we have huge volume per sec submitting more than 100 messages

Thanks Manickam

Hi

Its possible to use IMAP - like downloading from mail server journal account to piler

Please help us

yes, imap is also possible from a journaling account to where all emails are copied. However I'd take a look at the archiving server. Is it possible to see it via teamviewer or something?

I think we have covered this topic.
