Hello,

My VPS server got updated to plesk 9.3.0 from 9.2.3 and the qmail stopped delivering email. In maillog it shows Unable to open pipe to /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue.orig
I updated qmail-scanner (qmail-scanner-2.08-1.el5.art) and reset the permission of qmail-queue and the mails started getting delivered but the delivery is very slow. In the logs it shows the following error.

qmail-queue-handlers[18109]: Handlers Filter before-queue for qmail started ...
qmail-queue-handlers[18109]: Unable to get 'From:' string from SMTP session
X-Qmail-Scanner-2.01st: [xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx126346123176318086] Unable to open pipe to /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue.orig [54] (#4.3.0) -
X-Qmail-Scanner-2.01st: [xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx126346123176318086] Unable to close pipe to /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue.orig [54] (#4.3.0) - Illegal seek

I am running Virtuozzo plesk 9.3.0 over CentOS 5.4

what does
telnet localhost 25
say?

sounds like the wrapper got overwritten or something. Usually reinstalling psa-qmail and then qmail-scanner will fix that.

I'm seeing this problem as well after upgrading to Plesk 9.3.0. The CPU usage of clamd is also through the roof on some machines. I have tried installing several components and running things like qmail-scanner-reconfigure, but to no avail so far.

These are a few of the permissions that might be relevant:



Anything strange here?

I did that, but it didn't help.

By the way, I'm also seeing clamd taking up lots of CPU cycles. Is that something others are seeing as well? I haven't been able to figure out whether this is directly related to these qmail-scanner error messages.

koolnyze, I see you're still on qmail-scanner 2.01. I'm running with qmail-scanner 2.08 (current version in the atomic channel), but otherwise I'm seeing the same error messages.

Ok, I fixed that clamd load problem. Doesn't look like it's related to the 'Unable to open pipe' messages, because I'm still seeing those. By the way, mail delivery *appears* to work just fine, despite those disturbing pipe messages.

i have updated also to 9.3.0

the parallels team tells me to use patch /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue

but still is broke....
spamassassin and qmailscanner wil stop working....

so can you tell me how you fixed the

error???


Thnx in advanced

I haven't fixed that, I still get those messages too. It doesn't seem to harm delivery though.

Hi breun,

could you please tell me how you solved the load problem?

Thanks

I don't really remember what the problem was. If you see clamd loading your box, I suggest checking out your maillog to see what's happening.

thanks for your quick reply. I got it handled. There were bounce mails in a loop.

BTW, people that have this issue on PLESK 9 (9.3 in my case). See this fix:

It seemed to solve my problem as well as the missing SMTP header issue.

I just tested that patch on CentOS 4 i386 and it seems to work. Guess I'll be rolling this out to all boxes soon.

If you're using qmail-scanner make sure you replace /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue.orig with the patched version (and match that file's ownership and permissions) instead of /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue.
