Greylisting fails: "Buffer too short"

[Tim Bernhardt]

Hi everybody..

At some point greylisting stopped working for me with the following error message:

Jun 18 16:43:09 static qmail-queue-handlers[31431]: call_handlers: call executable = '/usr/local/psa/handlers/info/05-grey-Fs2qWc/executable'

Jun 18 16:43:09 static qmail-queue-handlers[31431]: LOG Internal error in handler '05-grey-Fs2qWc'. Skip handler.


It used to work fine before but now even a reboot doesn't fix it. Plesk 9.2.1, Suse 11.0.

Any ideas?
Thanks
Tim

Hello,

Please use the mchk utility in order to repair mail configuration.
You can find more information about this utility in the following article:

Hi Andrey,

thanks for the info. That actually did the trick. I might add that it's a good idea to clean out the remaining handlers in /usr/local/psa/handlers/before-local|before-queue|before-remote|info/* though because mchk creates new mailhooks and the old ones point into nothingness effectively stopping serverwide mail delivery.

Found that out the hard way :/
