Hmailserver crash with mailinglist 10000 subscribers

Post by Thomas Parvais » 2008-11-13 13:27

Hello Martin

HMS 4.4.b270 crashes when I launch mail to my distribution list (10000 subs).
Here is some dump info:

I have also others debug files: hMailServer.exe.hdmp et hMailServer.exe.mdmp available for you if needed

I don't know what's happen. Do you need more info ?

any errors reported in hMails own error log?
If at first you don't succeed, bomb disposal probably isn't for you! ヅ

Can you reproduce the problem?
Is it a distribution list or are you sending the messages using some other software?
When does it crash? When you deliver the message or while hMailServer is processing it?
Can you enable all logging in hMailServer, reproduce the problem, zip the log and send it to me at martin@hmailserver.com so that I can take a look at it?

ok, for next Newsletter release, I'll log everything (beg. of DEcember).

Yes, it was during Hmailserver processing. This is not the first time it happens.

No script, no other software. Just a mail sent to a distribution list, populated directly with your API to add / delete new members.

So when you started hMailServer again, it continued to process the messages, or?

I did try to send a message to a distribution list with 15 000 subscribers but didn't get this problem. I tested it in the same build as you are using. I recommend that you upgrade to the latest version before the next sendout, and then enable all logging in case it happens again.

Hello

Yesterday we tried to send Newsletter again.

Previously, I also upgraded to last stable release available.

I activate logging (SMTP/Application & Debug).

Same issue occurs: only internal members have received the newsletter (I mean email also declared on Hmailserver).

Here is the log from the reception of the newsletter by HMS and the phase after where normally the email must be replicated.... (there is nothing relevant in others error log files):

send_newsletter@droit-technologie.org is the source origin of the newsletter (ASP Page) and newsletter address is newsletter@droit-technologie.org

What is very strange is that I didn't find any recipient in the log for the newsletter distribution. I suppose HMS should open a SMTP connection to each of the recipient ?

There is no special traffic reported in Awstat neither. Nothing special in message waiting list window (3 mails waiting to be sent among 2 for newsletter)

I really don't see what is happening here ?

If I try to stop Hmailserver via its mgnt interface , it took some while (30-40s) then restart the process. And now, mails seem to be generated to the distribution list:

in error log I have the following:

Code: Select all

"DEBUG"	3912	"2008-12-02 22:20:24.723"	"Socket::~Socket(ID:5803, Addr=61480632)"

"DEBUG"	3912	"2008-12-0.....

Then +/- 9000 similar lines (that corresponds to #of subscribers maybe)

and then successful SMTP transaction with subscribers....
I really don't know why "internal users" receive the mail directly, but the external subscribers start to receive the newsletter after a restart of the hmailserver service.

Martin, I hope this will help you....to help me. I keep all log files at your disposal if you want

Just simple question: have you changed/improved the queuing/throttling on distribution list on Release 5 ? something like http://www.hmailserver.com/forum/viewto ... =2&t=10629 ?

Thank you

I'm a bit confused. Your original post was that hMailServer crashed. Now you're saying it reports an error message in the log and but continues running with no crash?

The error is caused because your distribution list contains an empty email address. If you open the list in hMailServer Administrator, you should see it there. Removing the empty address should fix the error.
