[02:58:44] <spronk> hi guys - i've got 35k emails in my incoming queue.... and they seem to be delivering very slow. is there any way i can speed this up?
[02:59:02] *** freezey has joined #postfix
[02:59:12] <lunaphyte> delivering to where?
[02:59:22] <spronk> local virtual users
[03:00:06] <lunaphyte> pastebin a sample of your mailq output which shows messages in question, and log snippit of complete processing of a message exhibiting the problem.
[03:00:10] <spronk> they started off delivering quickly...
[03:02:04] <adaptr> spronk: disk contention. postfix (or any MTA) is primarily disk bound
[03:03:09] <spronk> how would i find a log snippet processing the message? if I do a grep on /var/log/mail.log for the message ID in the mailq output i just get the connect message...
[03:03:50] <spronk> lines above and below are just connect messages for the other similar pieces of mail
[03:04:37] <lunaphyte> use a pager, and perform association
[03:05:08] <lunaphyte> reconcile both queue id and pid
[03:06:20] <lunaphyte> err, cross reference, rather
[03:08:02] <spronk> hmm, only seem to be a couple of lines for each message
[03:08:32] <lunaphyte> well, pastebin them and include adjacent lines for context.
[03:10:01] *** midnightmagic has joined #postfix
[03:13:10] *** honestly is now known as EveryBody
[03:13:13] <spronk> http://pastebin.com/uJXHEwuK
[03:13:17] <spronk> this is basically all there is in the logs
[03:13:20] *** EveryBody is now known as honestly
[03:13:30] <spronk> looking at a particular message that was in the mailq output
[03:14:37] *** davlefou__ has joined #postfix
[03:14:40] <spronk> if i do a qshape, i get a huuge number of messages in the queue
[03:15:04] <spronk> heaps in the righthand cols too
[03:15:09] <lunaphyte> use a pager, search for the queue id, and pastebin that screen
[03:16:15] <spronk> its just a page full of postfix/cleanups
[03:16:17] <spronk> hmm
[03:16:38] <spronk> are there any keywords i can look for like... "queued" that might give further hints?
[03:17:20] <lunaphyte> so you're ignoring me?
[03:17:47] *** davlefou_ has quit IRC
[03:18:37] <spronk> lunaphyte: if i less mail.log then /(queue id), all i see is pages full of Oct 21 22:59:20 dev postfix/cleanup[23132]: E44CDF8ED7: message-id=<E1VYOFa-0007Z9-Ia at loadtest dot local>
[03:19:16] <spronk> the queue ID is the E44... right?
[03:20:05] <lunaphyte> then grep for the pid, like i said
[03:20:38] <spronk> ah right, skipped that step
[03:21:09] <lunaphyte> btw, on a semi side note, do not use .local
[03:21:43] <spronk> this isn't a production server... unless it's a bad idea for testing boxes as well?
[03:24:03] <lunaphyte> note there were no conditionals attached to my statement ;)
[03:24:25] <spronk> any reason why not to use it?
[03:25:14] <spronk> i have local dns for web servers, but it's a bit of a pain to keep it working etc
[03:25:30] <lunaphyte> same logic applies there as well.
[03:25:38] <spronk> i see
[03:25:47] <lunaphyte> .local is a special, purpose specific "psuedo" tld. it's *not* for dns.
[03:26:27] <spronk> Oct 21 23:02:27 dev postfix/pipe[21714]: 5DD0061066: to=<test1 at mailrecv dot local>, orig_to=<logging at loadtest dot local>, relay=spamassassin, delay=2184, delays=0.02/2168/0/16, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered via spamassassin service)
[03:26:35] *** MaximusColourum has joined #postfix
[03:26:49] <lunaphyte> use of anything like postfix, apache, etc. almost invariably misappropriates it into use with/by dns.
[03:27:04] <lunaphyte> pipe?
[03:27:08] <lunaphyte> well, not a good start there.
[03:27:28] <lunaphyte> using pipe is unlikely to be the most efficient mechanism
[03:28:10] <lunaphyte> now you have a new queue id with which to search
[03:28:52] <lunaphyte> but at this point i imagine we can probably just offer suggestions on improvements based simply on your config.
[03:29:00] <lunaphyte> !tell spronk welcome
[03:29:00] <knoba> spronk: "welcome" : Welcome to #postfix! If you're new here, or to IRC, first read the channel topic (/topic). It has important instructions on how to ask good questions. You will get more and better help if you follow those instructions. Good Luck!
[03:30:54] <spronk> http://pastebin.com/DxrFsJqn that's my conf
[03:31:18] <spronk> basically haven't touched it outside apt-get installing postfix and postfixadmin
[03:31:48] <lunaphyte> please follow the instructions.
[03:32:14] <spronk> !getting_help
[03:32:14] <knoba> spronk: "getting_help" : before asking your question, provide a pastebin which includes relevant log data and your config. see !pastebin, !relevant_logs and !showconfig for instructions on doing this.

[03:37:21] <knoba> spronk: "showconfig_old" : for versions of postfix < 2.9, pastebin postconf -n and the contents of master.cf with comments removed
[03:50:54] <spronk> !relevant_logs
[03:50:54] <knoba> spronk: "relevant_logs" : Relevant logs are mail.* syslog Postfix logs (NOT verbose, see !verbose) which show the entire handling of a single mail which illustrates the issue with which you want help. Random selections from your mail log might not do. IMAP/POP3 daemons and external delivery agents typically log to the same facility (mail); those are usually not relevant here.
[03:51:02] <spronk> !verbose
[03:51:03] <knoba> spronk: "verbose" : You probably do not need verbose logging, but in rare cases the extra detail can assist in debugging. To set verbose logging add a -v after the command name (such as smtpd) in master.cf, then 'postfix reload' after that.

[04:04:30] <lunaphyte> you've a new install that's older than 2.9?
[04:05:15] <thumbs> ick
[04:05:40] <spronk> debian 6..
[04:06:39] <spronk> apt repos are on 2.7.1
[04:08:25] <lunaphyte> well, 2.7 is still supported, yes - albeit begrudgingly.
[04:08:43] <spronk> i see
[04:08:50] <lunaphyte> anyway, i'll cut though the fluff, and be Frank - that config sucks :)
[04:09:00] <spronk> :(
[04:09:03] <lunaphyte> not very efficient.
[04:09:57] <spronk> where are the biggest bottlenecks?
[04:10:23] <lunaphyte> at a quick glance, i'm not even seeing how mail is getting through spamassassin
[04:10:48] <spronk> line 78 and 79 of the pastebin i think
[04:11:04] <lunaphyte> that's only half of it.
[04:11:11] <spronk> oh?
[04:11:13] <spronk> yesh.
[04:11:32] <spronk> apart fromt he virtual users file, this was all generated by the installers
[04:12:06] <lunaphyte> pastebin /etc/postfix/sender_access
[04:12:50] *** MacWinner has quit IRC
[04:13:05] <spronk> there's just one line, deployment at loadtest dot local REJECT
[04:13:36] <spronk> there is a sender_access.db file in /etc/postfix
[04:14:04] <lunaphyte> oh, there it is.
[04:14:21] <lunaphyte> line 76
[04:14:49] <lunaphyte> why is that way down there?
[04:14:55] *** davlefou_ has joined #postfix
[04:15:01] <lunaphyte> that's normally at the top of master.cf
[04:15:21] <lunaphyte> [lines 75-76]
[04:15:46] <lunaphyte> i've got to get to bed, but here's what i'd suggest you do:
[04:15:52] <spronk> ah rightg
[04:16:02] <lunaphyte> get rid of spamassassin for now.
[04:16:35] <lunaphyte> put lines 75-76 back above submission, and comment out -o content_filter=spamassassin
[04:17:02] <lunaphyte> then, deliver to dovecot via lmtp, not pipe.
[04:17:25] *** MaximusColourum has quit IRC
[04:17:29] <spronk> ah yep
[04:17:35] <lunaphyte> deliver right from postfix to dovecot - not content filter in between - for now.
[04:17:47] <lunaphyte> *no content
[04:18:09] <lunaphyte> also, why do you have all of those different mysql lookup maps?
[04:18:13] *** davlefou__ has quit IRC
[04:18:21] <spronk> postfixadmin installed them, i guess
[04:18:29] <lunaphyte> oh.
[04:18:46] <lunaphyte> catchalls are *not* wise, at all.
[04:19:00] <lunaphyte> that file name is alarming in that context.
[04:19:13] <spronk> hmm
[04:19:16] <lunaphyte> mailbox_size_limit = 0 - do NOT do this.
[04:19:53] <lunaphyte> we don't do postfixadmin here, but all of those different lookup maps don't really scream logic or efficiency.
[04:20:02] <lunaphyte> but who knows what postfixadmin "needs".
[04:20:05] <spronk> yeah..
[04:20:14] <spronk> maybe i'll try and get rid of PFA too
[04:20:50] <lunaphyte> the thing is, i'd really suggest you not use a "virtual" setup if you're delivering to dovecot anyway.
[04:21:21] <spronk> oh? so have dovecot handle that side of things?
[04:21:47] <lunaphyte> there are edge cases where it's validity can be argued, but in pedestrian environments [read: 99% of all setups], it's just awkawrd and sort of misleading.
[04:21:56] <spronk> ah, ok
[04:22:31] <lunaphyte> i'd use relay_domains and relay_recipient_maps, with relay_transport set to dovecot
[04:23:16] <lunaphyte> where dovecot is an entry in master.cf as "dovecot unix - - n - 5 lmtp" - for example.
[04:23:30] <lunaphyte> rather than "dovecot unix - n n - - pipe"
[04:23:39] <spronk> yep, following
[04:30:13] <spronk> thanks lunaphyte
[04:30:34] <lunaphyte> sure thing, good luck.

[14:26:32] <lunaphyte_> the person who is the author does include documentation with the software though. seems like that would be the smart choice for instructions on using it.

[14:28:16] <danialr> i read everything but it seems user friendly for beginning
[14:28:45] <lunaphyte_> that's seems contradictory.
[14:28:49] <lunaphyte_> *that seems
[14:29:04] <lunaphyte_> i'd think if it were user friendly, wouldn't it be working?
[14:30:28] <danialr> yes but i read that it because it seems easy now i know something that i can read another documents . is there any admin for postfix that i can do some config with a web panel or also cli but it be easy
[14:30:53] <lunaphyte_> please enlist the services of an experienced consultant.
[14:31:31] <rob0> Mail is very challenging indeed. A lot to learn. Any given part of it can only be expected to document itself, not usually other related parts.
[14:32:08] <danialr> ok i have to read more but not bad starting
[14:34:49] <rob0> Postfix documentation is excellent, but it doesn't try to teach you everything about how email works.

[16:19:07] <Pies> or no, this doesn't have sense..

[21:15:38] <thumbs> mtu: heh
[21:15:45] <thumbs> mtu: a little more elaborate.
[21:15:46] <adaptr> mtu: that sounds very wrong.
[21:17:58] <mtu> let's see how easy mailgraph is to set up
[21:18:50] *** master_o1_master has quit IRC
[21:22:51] <mtu> it works, but the errors from the log don't show up in the graphs. (postfix couldn't resolve the hosts it was supposed torelay to)
[21:23:43] *** davlefou__ has joined #postfix
[21:24:32] <adaptr> which is it ?
[21:24:54] <mtu> status=deferred (Host or domain name not found. Name service error for name=mail.foo.bar type=A: Host not found, try again)
[21:25:04] <mtu> hmm, i guess that's not an actual error, just a deferral ...
[21:25:43] <mtu> i forgot: "dsn=4.4.3"
[21:26:16] *** davlefou_ has quit IRC

[21:27:57] <knoba> cite: Error: "nopony" is not a valid command.
[21:28:15] <mtu> (i had changed the way the machine resolves, but forgot to update the /var/spool/postfix/etc/resolv.conf - so the cause is understood and fixed
[21:28:27] <mtu> bottom line, i just want to know when deferrals happen
[21:28:32] <cite> !yespony

[21:29:12] <knoba> adaptr: Error: "nopony" is not a valid command.
[21:29:17] <adaptr> what ? why not ?
[21:29:35] <adaptr> cite: you're never here, and when you are, you wanta pony. dem germans, all the same.
[21:30:31] <cite> adaptr: Achtung ;-)
[21:30:49] <adaptr> Baby!
[21:31:01] <rob0> cite, oh NOOOOOO!!
[21:31:29] <cite> rob0: And why did you delete nopony? We had pony and nopony, and now we are left with pony and 404.
[21:31:33] <cite> :-(
[21:31:39] <cite> !404
[21:31:39] <knoba> cite: Error: "404" is not a valid command.
[21:31:49] <cite> See. Even knoba doesn't know 404.
[21:32:41] <cite> mtu: Deferrals happen when the DNS error returned by the system's resolver library indicates that it is _not_ a permanent error.
[21:33:12] <rob0> I didn't delete it.
[21:33:24] <rob0> why are you blaming me?
[21:33:33] <adaptr> why not ? it's obviously the right move
[21:33:36] <SMalametal> They're not mailboxes actually, adaptr, it's just an SMTP server where users in an LDAP servers can auth and send mails.
[21:33:38] *** dylukes has joined #postfix
[21:33:39] <rob0> oh
[21:34:44] <cite> Server goes down? rob0! Network glitch? rob0! Obama wins an election? rob0!
[21:35:03] <cite> No wait. I take the network glitch back.
[21:35:56] <adaptr> yeah, that's just random quantum particles that.. no, wait. still rob0

[21:36:19] <cite> heisenbug?
[21:36:21] <adaptr> I KNEW it
[21:36:21] <mtu> cite: i see. it seems that mailgraph doesn't (by default) show deferrals. apparently, queuegraph does, i'm looking into that atm.
[21:36:41] <adaptr> yes. that would be why I lead with that
[21:36:52] <adaptr> but alas, knoba kno's knot.
[21:37:08] <cite> .o0(Store logs to logstash, feed to riemann, export to graphite. Who needs mailgraph?)
[21:37:32] <adaptr> people who don't have 3 weeks to learn all that
[21:37:51] <cite> Why would anyone who doesn't have 3 weeks be on IRC?!?
[21:38:13] <adaptr> um. let me get back to you on that.
[21:38:16] <adaptr> in 3 weeks.
[21:38:20] <rob0> "Cat dies?" At least we still have Schrodinger to blame for that.
[21:38:57] * cite hands rob0 some umlauts to copy/paste: ÄÖÜÜäöüß
[21:39:07] <adaptr> if you're secretly Heisenberg, Schrodinger isn't such a leap
[21:39:22] <rob0> (cite, it's a nick in channel)
[21:39:36] <cite> My neighbour once owned a cat named Schrödinger. It died :-(
[21:39:51] <rob0> how could you know for sure?
[21:40:00] <adaptr> Schrodinger's that coke dealer from over Santa Fe
[21:40:16] <adaptr> rob0: he used a Chinese box!
[21:40:20] <cite> Well, I was taking an educated guess, following the tire marks' lead.
[21:40:25] <adaptr> cheater
[21:40:32] <adaptr> was it chinese ?
[21:40:40] <cite> Audi
[21:41:06] <adaptr> sounds chinese
[21:41:43] <rob0> I swerved to avoid a dead cat in the road on a fire call the other day. I didn't want cat squish all over those tires.
[21:42:12] <cite> Fire call?
[21:42:27] <rob0> fire truck
[21:45:41] <rob0> 10K liters of water is pretty heavy, and the tires which hold it up would make an awful mess of a cat.
[21:46:20] <adaptr> unless there's mail queueing somewhere along the way, you're veering awfully far OT
[21:46:26] <adaptr> was there mail queueing during the fire ?
[21:46:38] <rob0> oh yes!
[21:46:59] <adaptr> postman Pat was distraught ?

[23:41:49] <Shinobi> I'm trying to test my smtp connectivity via telnet on port 465. Should it respond with an SMTP header on connection?
[23:47:53] <Zerberus> Shinobi: no, because you can't make the SSL handshake using a telnet client - use openssl s_client instead
[23:48:12] <rob0> Why are you using smtps, anyway?
[23:48:15] <rob0> !smtps
[23:48:15] <knoba> rob0: "smtps" : Port 465 is smtps, SMTP over SSL, a deprecated means of submission. This means that smtps should *not* be used, and that this factoid exists for historical purposes only and should not be implemented. See !submission for smtps' successor. That being said, Postfix can implement smtps with a separate smtpd(8) listener with \"-o smtpd_tls_wrappermode=yes\". See the commented example in master.cf.
[23:48:56] <Shinobi> rob0: I downloaded a sogo script which setup postfix + ldap + kerberus... I'm just testing now... but will covert it over to TLS.
[23:52:52] <Shinobi> !submission
[23:52:52] <knoba> Shinobi: "submission" : Port 587 is submission, for user submission of mail, NOT suitable for mail exchange. See the commented example in master.cf. also see !msa, and rfc 6409. Also read http://www.maawg.org/sites/maawg/files/news/MAAWG_Port25rec0511.pdf
[23:54:35] <Shinobi> So for mail exchange should port 465 be open?
[23:54:44] <Shinobi> !msa
[23:54:45] <knoba> Shinobi: "msa" : Message Submission Agent : a process which accepts message submissions from MUAs on port 587 known as 'message submission service' using the 'message submission protocol' defined by rfc4409. To enable message submission service in postfix uncomment the relevant lines in master.cf. also see !submission.
[23:55:07] <rob0> No mail exchange ever takes place on 465. All mail exchange is on 25.
[23:55:20] <Shinobi> even if it's SSL?
[23:55:34] <rob0> !tls
[23:55:34] <knoba> rob0: "tls" : Transport Layer Security (RFC2246). Previously known as SSL, TLS adds a layer of encryption to protocols such as SMTP, submission, IMAP or POP3 to improve security during transmission over the Internet. TLS is implemented using the STARTTLS method, while the non-standard wrapper style of implementation is deprecated at this point. See http://www.postfix.org/TLS_README.html for more info.
[23:57:39] <Shinobi> ok. I guess I don't understand quite yet. Are you saying that 465 is needed in addition to 25, not in place of?
[23:57:47] *** MacWinner has joined #postfix
[23:58:21] <thumbs> Shinobi: you don't want to use 465 for anything.
[23:58:36] <thumbs> Shinobi: use 25 for mail exchange, and 587 for submission.
[23:58:57] <Shinobi> thumbs: I won't in production, but I'm dealing with a system that's already set up. I'm testing how it works and will modify from there.
[23:59:28] <Shinobi> thumbs... ok 587 is blocked at the server level.
[23:59:38] <thumbs> Shinobi: why is it blocked?
[23:59:41] <adaptr> thumbs: if nobody is using 465 anymore, I can usurp it for anything I want!
[23:59:47] <thumbs> adaptr: no, not you.
