Title: connect/disconnect from localhost.localhost[127.0.0.1] in maillog every 30s Post by: brawoens on Sunday 29 August 2010, 08:58:09 pm After upgrading my endian machine yesterday, I see the following lines coming into the /var/log/maillog about every 32 seconds.
Aug 29 12:37:13 endian postfix/smtpd[25322]: connect from localhost.localhost[127.0.0.1] Aug 29 12:37:13 endian postfix/smtpd[25322]: disconnect from localhost.localhost[127.0.0.1] Aug 29 12:37:45 endian postfix/smtpd[26415]: connect from localhost.localhost[127.0.0.1] Aug 29 12:37:45 endian postfix/smtpd[26415]: disconnect from localhost.localhost[127.0.0.1] Aug 29 12:38:17 endian postfix/smtpd[25322]: connect from localhost.localhost[127.0.0.1] Aug 29 12:38:17 endian postfix/smtpd[25322]: disconnect from localhost.localhost[127.0.0.1] Aug 29 12:38:49 endian postfix/smtpd[26415]: connect from localhost.localhost[127.0.0.1] Aug 29 12:38:49 endian postfix/smtpd[26415]: disconnect from localhost.localhost[127.0.0.1] I didn't see those in my previous version. The main.cf en master.cf of postfix haven't changed. I know this by comparing the current file and the .old file the upgrader tool creates. The upgrade has been by efw-upgrade. Current version: cat /etc/release Endian Firewall Community release 2.4.0 It seems to me some new process is connecting to the mailserver every 30 seconds. I think it is not doing harm, but is flooding/dirtying my logs. Has anyone seen this as well and know what the culprit is? Thanks in advance.

When I change the inet_interfaces = all to only the eth0 ip in /etc/postfix/main.cf and restart postfix, I dont see the lines anymore, but there is a restart of postfix every 30s. I figure there must be some kind of monitor process which checks if postfix is up. Is this endian monitoring or postfix itself which monitors? I haven't been able to find the process so far. Tried with: while true; do fuser smtp/tcp ; done The process doesn't come up here however, I think it must be too short when it connects. Has anyone an idea to find out which is the connecting process? Thanks. |
