Trouble with mail on 9.706.9 - too many connections

Since Updating our SG550 to 9.706.9 we have trouble with mail. E-Mails are delayed or even not delivered at all.  

E-Mail senders get the following message:

Remote Server returned '554 5.4.0 < #4.0.0 X-Proxmox; delivery temporarily suspended: host x.x.x.x[x.x.x.x] refused to talk to me: 421 Too many concurrent SMTP connections; please try again later.>'

or: 421.4.4.2 connection dropped due to TimeOut

I also recognize high cpu load (100%) on exim processes

In smtp log I often see tcp connection count 25, so all allowed connection are beeing used.

When increasing the allowed connections whole utm perfomance goes down and httpproxy will be very sloooow .

Max connection: 25 (default: 20)

Max connections / host: 15 (default: 10)

Any ideas for me?

Markus

    Hi ,

    Thank you for reaching out to the Community! 

    Is there any new core dumps on your firewall? Or is there a pending pattern update?  Can you check that with the following command?

    • ls -larth /var/storage/cores

    Thanks,

    Hi ,

    Did this issue start on May 13th or 28th? If yes, open a support case for further in-depth investigation, provide the support access id from your firewall on your support case and send me the case number via a personal message. 

    Thanks,

  • Just curious, Markus - what do you get from df -h?

    Cheers - Bob
