Topic: [SOLVED]Enable.Throttling/Debian.Ubuntu

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to enable throttling with the help of the wiki but i can't make it work.  ( i'm on 0.6.0-rc1 )
When i try to start / restart /etc/init.d/postfix-policyd_sender_throttle, it doesn't start ( and i've got nothing in the log file ) and with a netstat -ntlp | grep -i 1003 i only see the 10031 port not the 10032.

I'm wondering if it can create PIDFILE is their a way to create it manualy ?
Shoud I upgrade to 0.6.1 first ?

i've set SENDERTHROTTLE=1 SENDER_THROTTLE_SASL=1 SENDER_THROTTLE_HOST=0 RECIPIENTTHROTTLE=1 in the postfix-policyd_sender_throttle.conf

Heres is my /etc/init.d/postfix-policyd_sender_throttle

esac

exit 0

Re: [SOLVED]Enable.Throttling/Debian.Ubuntu

Any error message after start failed? Policyd will log error message in /var/log/maillog.

3

Re: [SOLVED]Enable.Throttling/Debian.Ubuntu

No error at all

when i type :

/etc/init.d/postfix-policyd_sender_throttle restart

i got :

Restarting Postfix greylisting policy daemon: 

And it stop.

Re: [SOLVED]Enable.Throttling/Debian.Ubuntu

Try below commands to get debug message in /var/log/maillog:

# /usr/sbin/postfix-policyd -c /etc/postfix-policyd_sender_throttle.conf

If no error message, try to increase 'DEBUG' value in /etc/postfix-policyd_sender_throttle.conf and try again.

Re: [SOLVED]Enable.Throttling/Debian.Ubuntu

Hmm....

With this command : /usr/sbin/postfix-policyd -c /etc/postfix-policyd_sender_throttle.conf

It works >_<

But if i restart ( /etc/init.d/postfix-policyd_sender_throttle restart) , it don't anymore.

Re: [SOLVED]Enable.Throttling/Debian.Ubuntu

I'm starting to think that i have some issues in my /etc/init.d/postfix-policyd_sender_throttle file (because with command line it works )
But i can't find where...

Try:

# bash -xv /etc/init.d/postfix-policyd_sender_throttle start

And post output of terminal here.

Re: [SOLVED]Enable.Throttling/Debian.Ubuntu

In /etc/init.d/postfix-policyd_sender_throttle:

start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --background --pidfile $PIDFILE --exec $DAEMON -- -c $DAEMON_CONFIG

But we don't have variable "DAEMON_CONFIG" after we comment out below lines:

# Include policyd defaults if available
#if [ -f /etc/default/postfix-policyd ] ; then
#       . /etc/default/postfix-policyd
#fi

So we should change 'DAEMON_CONFIG' to 'CONFIG'.

Could you please help test it?
