RE: [FW1] SMTP connection log

Sounds like you're running the SMTP security server.

Remember back when you ran cpconfig for the first time....  It asks you to
define the parameters of the SMTP security server.  Most people just accept
the default, I know I used to.  There is a setting for the "Max Connections"
that defaults to 50.  Depending on how much RAM there is in the module, I
tend to bump this number up from 50 to 500.

Re-run cpconfig and change this value and restart your firewall.  See if you
still have the problem.

Subject: [FW1] SMTP connection log



In one night I had an incident, the asmtpd.elg log file was 350 M (normally
the size should be a few K 15 -20 K) with this message:

smtp_new_connection: accept(0): Too many open files

I'm not storing the mail on the firewall only forwarding, so I would like to
know from were is coming this messages. CP told me the message is comming
from Solaris, but the log file is from the firewall not from OS.

Maybe somebody experience the same problem.

Thanks

p.s Solaris 7, CPfw 4.1 SP3
