Hello there,

I have experiencing slow outgoing smtp connections, I add the following points that I can see.

- Always the connections are alive, and these connections are keeped in 2000 but never down
- The rate of delivery for minute is 200 emails (very slow), I have more than 100 vmtas and more of 300 ips at this moment

The last change in our infrastructure was add four IPs in pmta network interface, these Ips were in another postfix infrastructure.

Is it possible that, this problem is due to a network problem?

In pmta log I can see multiple extraneous IPs that try to connect with us? Is it normal or could be a ddos attack?

Thank you!

What errors do you get from ISPs ?
connection timeouts,deferrals,blocks ?

You have an issue with your connections as you see.
This should be resolved first.
Check DNS resolving and tracert results.

Hasan,

Thank you! I try to check the connections.

Is it possible that these Ips added were in another network interface and cause connection errors in general?

Regards!

[CaLViN]

Well anything is possible.
You cant reach GMAIL,there you can see the issue.

run a pmta trace command on the VMTAs that are using the new IP addresses. This looks primarily like a DNS issue like Calvin said, or a larger network issue if the new IP's can't get "out" of your area.

Hello, thanks

We have detected the problem. We are using a bounce handler via pipe using the following code:

Code: [Select]


<acct-file |/usr/local/bin/python3.6 /opt/emBlue3/App_Main_Popper/PowerMtaPipeEmblue.py -u "popper.embluemail.com" -s "bounces">
    records b, rb
    record-fields b orig,timeLogged, bounceCat,dsnStatus,rcpt,header_X-emmkt
    record-fields rb orig,timeLogged, bounceCat,dsnStatus,rcpt,header_X-emmkt
</acct-file>


When we comment the whole config, pmta starts work fine.

I have attached in this thread a screen capture with a time-out error.

We find a similar error in the following github forum : https://github.com/magicdude4eva/port25-bouncehandler/issues/12

Could you please tell me if this issue is due the pmta version? We have Pmta V4.5

Regards!

I know people do use the pipe command, but I have found that time and time again under load it will cause issues... it's much better to write the data to disk and use an out of band bounce processor, that's what I do and it lets PMTA do it's job much better.

You can always test outside of PowerMTA with:

Hello Admin,

Thank you for your advice. I'll try to use it to change this issue. I'll like use some software to get reports about exceptions or errors and understand all about it.
