Hello,
we have a problem with SMTP Timeouts, and it has been a general problem during the last year of running the system.
We have ensured that the link and speed of NIC is good. But we miss an option to be able to set the SMTP Timeout. Problem as we see it; one message arrives at the GW, when it tries to connect to the server it should deliver it to it gets a timeout, after several timeouts the server is auto-blacklisted, and it becomes a problem for all messages arriving to specific servers. The timeout for the servers to be auto-whitelisted can vary - depends on the load. It not a thing we see every day, but yet too often to just let pass un-noticed.
We are running a large site, where approximately somewhere between 200.000 and 300.000 mails pr. month is being handled. The load is shared between two servers (Sun Fire V20z - They are listen in servers approved to run Astaro) and they primarily only handles ingoing mail. Outgoing mail is handled by seperate SMTP servers.
Short output from log: SEE ATTACHMENT (astaro_smtp_timeout.txt).
Our latets configuration is ASL 6.311 (patch to 6.312 is planned within a couple of weeks).
Any input, comments or help at all are very much appreciated.
Best regards
