STMP crashes

Hi all

 

Alpha DS20, OpenVMS 7.32, TCPIP 5.4 Eco 4

(I know ECO 7 is current, but have not seen any SMTP fix in the releases notes).

 

I see in any sys$specific:<tcpip$smtp>TCPIP$SMTP_RECV_RUN.LOG

 

$ !
$ ! start smtp receiver process
$ !
$ run:
$ run SYS$SYSTEM:TCPIP$SMTP_RECEIVER.EXE
%SYSTEM-F-ACCVIO, access violation, reason mask=00, virtual address=000000000000
000C, PC=0000000000000012, PS=00000003
$ !
$ ! completed smtp receiver execution
$ !
$ exit:
$ exit $status .or. %x10000000
TCPIP$SMTP job terminated at

 

Versions of the images

 

TCPIP$SMTP_MAILSHR;1 V5.4-15E 23-AUG-2004 SYS$COMMON:[SYSLIB]
TCPIP$SMTP_PARSESHR_TV;1 V5.4-15B 29-JAN-2004 SYS$COMMON:[SYSLIB]

Known/already seen ?

Re: STMP crashes

Well there are some fixes for SMTP, but they do not seem to look my problem

Re: STMP crashes

It's not clear from your description if the SMTP receiver dies straight away or if it runs for a while and then dies.

 

Have you also checked that your SMTP configuration is not broken in some way?  See what TCPIP SHOW CONFIG MAIL tell you, and verify that it looks OK.  Also check the configuration file SYS$SYSROOT:[TCPIP$SMTP]TCPIP$SMTP.CONF.

 

There are various options for debugging SMTP receiver issues; for starters, try

 

$  DEFINE/SYS/EXEC TCPIP$SMTP_RECV_TRACE 1

 

which will turn on some logging in the TCPIP$SMTP_RECV_RUN.LOG file.

 

Have a look at the TCP/IP  Management Guide for more information about diagnosing problems with the SMTP receiver.

Hi Jeremy

 

 

>>>It's not clear from your description if the SMTP receiver dies straight away or if it runs for a while and then dies.

 

Well, I think it dies immediately, as I have several .log in a few milliseconds, and the elapsed time is really short

 

dir sys$specific:<tcpip$smtp>*.log

Directory SYS$SPECIFIC:<TCPIP$SMTP>

TCPIP$SMTP_RECV_RUN.LOG;544
6 8-OCT-2012 08:08:09.23
TCPIP$SMTP_RECV_RUN.LOG;543
6 8-OCT-2012 08:08:09.21
TCPIP$SMTP_RECV_RUN.LOG;542

and

 

$ ! start smtp receiver process

$ run:
$ run SYS$SYSTEM:TCPIP$SMTP_RECEIVER.EXE

$ !
$ ! completed smtp receiver execution

$ exit:
$ exit $status .or. %x10000000

I have defined the logical TCPIP$SMTP_RECV_TRACE to 1, restarted SMTP, but no mail since.

 

tcpip sh conf smtp 

show in substitute domain my outgoing domain

and I have put the incoming one in 

SYS$SPECIFIC:<TCPIP$SMTP>TCPIP$SMTP_LOCAL_ALIASES.TXT;

 

I do not have a SMTP.CONF file, I will check if it is correct in the doc.

 

Thanks
