spams causing huge deferred email and slow performance

We sometimes get compromised accounts which are difficult to trace from just looking at the logs. I just discovered a neat way to tag each sent mail with a header showing the authenticated user that sent it. As user Zimbra (Zimbra 8.x)... postconf -e 'smtpd_sasl_authenticated_header = yes' zmmtactl ...

Updated live sync script

Hmmm. Maybe there are processes running with an older PID to that recorded in the PID files. This happens to me sometimes with LDAP which fails to start because a previous LDAP process that Zimbra doesn't know about is already binding to the address/port. Issue a zmcontrol stop and then ps aux looki...

Updated live sync script

Three days of redo logs will take a long time to play back on a busy server. Over one hour is not surprising. Try tailing /opt/zimbra/mailbox.log to see if the replay is actually happening.

Updated live sync script

Looks like the Wiki is alive again! I have updated the script on the Wiki page and tried to incorporate as much of the feedback as possible.

451 4.3.0 Error: queue file write error

OK. Solved it. MxHero had stopped listening on port 5555 but was still showing its web interface.

We have a Release 8.0.2.GA.5569.UBUNTU10.64 UBUNTU10_64 FOSS edition production instance. This morning it suddenly became unable to process mail. It produces the "file write error" as soon as the recipent address is entered in Telnet. Using the web interface to send mail results in a "...

Updated live sync script

If anyone is interested. Here is the /etc/init.d script I use. I know it works on Ubuntu. It /should/ work on Redhat/CentOS too but needs verifying.
One the standby server I disable Zimbra on boot and enable this script on boot.

Zimbra Live Sync

Check the ownership and permissions of the .ssh folder. If the private keys, in particular, are not owned by zimbra with 600 perms it will fail. Also, make sure you are using the latest version of the script that I uploaded to the end of this thread. The Wiki is currently locked to editing for maint...

Updated live sync script

The script is now aware of HSM. If use of HSM is detected then mailboxd is kept running on the standby server and sync operations are suspended while the HSM process is active on the standby server.

Updated live sync script

Oops. New version already. There is an egrep that won't work on RHEL systems that has been fixed in the sync_commands script that resulted in the purge time days not being passed.
