<div>Hi</div>
<div> </div>
<div>We really need some help resolving the slow email issue.</div>
<div>I have been researching this for over 2 weeks now before calling our to RT_Users.</div>
<div>I have searched all of the below, </div>
<div> </div>
<div><a href="http://wiki.bestpractical.com/">http://wiki.bestpractical.com/</a> </div>
<div><a href="http://gossamer-threads.com/lists/rt/">http://gossamer-threads.com/lists/rt/</a> </div>
<div><a href="http://www.google.com/">http://www.google.com/</a> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>and much wider across the Internet. Almost given up!!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>++Description:</div>
<div>Overall there are no issues with email leaving RT - email reaches all destinations</div>
<div>There are no issues raising tickets into the queue via email.</div>
<div>Overall speed of moving around RT Web front end is fast / acceptable</div>
<div> </div>
<div>++Issue:</div>
<div>replying to a ticket takes up to 30 seconds to complete and sending the email in some cases up to 1 min.</div>
<div>this is simply prohibitive to use in a professional setup.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>++Other Issues:</div>
<div>Squirrel Mail (Linux Web Mail) has the same issue, up to 30 seconds to send an email - no solution</div>
<div>SSH to shell remotely same problem 30s - Now resolved by removing the DNS lookup: /etc/ssh/sshd_config [UseDNS no]</div>
<div>SFTP - Slow 30 sec - fixed by line above</div>
<div>Sendmail takes 30 sec to send an email from command line test an issue we have had with php apps for over a year - now resolved by :</div>
<div>Edit the sendmail.cfg<br> <br>Was:<br># pass to name server to make hostname canonical<br>R$* $| $* < @ $* > $* $: $2 < @ $[ $3 $] > $4</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Now:<br># pass to name server to make hostname canonical<br>#R$* $| $* < @ $* > $* $: $2 < @ $[ $3 $] > $4</div>
<div> <br>OR<br><a href="http://sendmail.mc">sendmail.mc</a><br>Add:<br>FEATURE(`nocanonify')dnl</div>
<div> </div>
<div>then rebuiuld sendmail using m4</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Sendmail now blistering fast.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>++RT mail Configuration:</div>
<div>Previously I was using sendmailpipe</div>
<div>$MailCommand = 'sendmailpipe';<br>$SendmailArguments = "-oi -t";<br>$SendmailPath = "/usr/sbin/sendmail";</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Now that I have confirmed that Sendmail is NOT the issue I am now using:</div>
<div>$MailCommand = 'sendmailpipe';<br>#$SendmailArguments = "-oi -t";<br>$SendmailArguments = "-oi -ODeliveryMode=b -OErrorMode=m";<br>$SendmailPath = "/usr/sbin/sendmail";</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Also have soft link:</div>
<div>/etc/smrsh/rt-mailgate -> /opt/rt3/bin/rt-mailgate</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Note sure what else to test.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The common denominator here is Apache Http</div>
<div>So here is the conf entry for RT:</div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>[root@caitanya conf]# diff httpd.conf httpd.conf.working.20101126<br>997,1015d996<br>< Alias /rt "/opt/rt3/share/html"<br>< PerlModule Apache::DBI<br>< PerlRequire /opt/rt3/bin/<a href="http://webmux.pl">webmux.pl</a><br>
< <Directory /opt/rt3/share/html><br>< AllowOverride All<br>< Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks<br>< <IfModule mod_access.c><br>< Order allow,deny<br>< Allow from all<br>< </IfModule><br>
< </Directory><br><<br>< <Location /rt><br>< RewriteEngine On<br>< RedirectMatch permanent (.*)/$ $1/index.html<br>< AddDefaultCharset UTF-8<br>< SetHandler perl-script<br>< PerlHandler RT::Mason<br>
< </Location><br></div>
<div> </div>
<div>Appreciate any help that one can give.</div>
<div>Its the only issue stopping us from moving RT from test environment to production.</div>
