Howdy, Got a bit of a problem, not real sure how to solve it.
Debian box used for mail. People pop their mail (via Outlook). Theres about 50 clients that do this every 5 or so minutes. Every now and then people will complain that they can't get their mail [that in fact, they cannot be logged on to the mail server] Theres nothing obviously wrong with the box [it's been happily chugging away for 359 days] but I THINK the problem is this.. $ netstat |more Active Internet connections (w/o servers) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State tcp 7 0 mail-i.proton.com:pop-3 122.122.125.125:1117 CLOSE tcp 7 0 mail-i.proton.com:pop-3 122.122.123.206:1059 CLOSE tcp 7 0 mail-i.proton.com:pop-3 122.122.123.20:1036 CLOSE tcp 7 0 mail-i.proton.com:pop-3 122.122.125.125:1045 CLOSE tcp 7 0 mail-i.proton.com:pop-3 122.122.123.199:1033 CLOSE tcp 7 0 mail-i.proton.com:pop-3 122.122.125.123:1047 CLOSE tcp 7 0 mail-i.proton.com:pop-3 122.122.125.125:1051 CLOSE ... etc. ~210 CLOSE or CLOSE_WAIT's. They don't seem to disappear. Is there any way I can nuke these manually? or decrease the time it takes for the kernel to clean them up? Or even increase the number of simultaneous connections per socket? Or am I barking up the wrong tree? Help appreciated.. :) D. -- Dale Harrison | Universe, n.: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | The problem.
