MX synchronization

MX synchronization

2017-10-30 by Hoggins!

Hello list,

First post here.
I have two MXes for the same domains and their greylist.conf have their
peer configured :

Host 1 :

    peer 192.168.148.53

Host 2 :

    peer 192.168.148.11

Yet they don't seem to sync at all. There is no firewalling between
these two hosts, and I can see that the milter-greylist process is
successfully binding on 0.0.0.0:5252.
But their respective greylist.db are not the same, and I can't see any
traffic between them on TCP port 5252.

Could there be something missing here ?

My milter-greylist version is 4.5.12 on both sides.

    Thank you !

        Hoggins!

You should check is there established TCP connection between
the hosts. The peers establish connection only if there is new
data to be synchronized. They do not synchronize old data.
So it may be totally legitimate having no sync connection.
If there is any peer connectivity issue, than you should see that
In the log file.

Best,
Attila

Thank you.

There is no established connection between the two hosts, I can only see
them listening on the correct interface and port, but nothing
established, and no activity at all on a tcpdump, although there are
quite a lot of messages flowing through these hosts, and some Greylist
activity in the logs.

Maybe I should scrap the existing database on both sides, and restart
the service to force it to sync with empty databases on both sides ?

Cheers !
