Mail will send but takes a long time.
« on: March 01, 2017, 07:13:22 PM »
I see Sending... for a long time and either it will disappear and still be on the compose screen. Sometimes it will timeout.
It will send only when I click back and say I want to cancel the message but it still doesn't show in sent immediately.

Also the messages aren't being signed by openDKIM

This is a mailcow-0.14 install. Ubuntu. Nginx.
 I don't know how to get into the console but I can pull any logs or configs you need
Wondering if this line in my Nginx config is the issue

add_header Strict-Transport-Security max-age=15768000;

Thanks for your help :)

I sent a message and got it in the receipt inbox 5 mins later :/

Roundcube Webmail 1.2.1

Plugins that are installed (by mailcow)
acl 1.6 GPLv3+ 
archive 2.4 GPLv3+ 
attachment_reminder 1.1 GPLv3+ 
filesystem_attachments 1.0 GPLv3+ 
jqueryui 1.10.4 GPLv3+ 
managesieve 8.6 GPLv3+ 
new_user_dialog 2.1 GPLv3+ 
zipdownload 3.1 GPLv3+

Postfix config has deferred messages set to 300s so that might be it.

Before I reinstalled mailcow to try and fix the DKIM signing it was working faster. I wasnt' expecting to have all my messages still so maybe it's a permission issue on the mail storage folders in Ubuntu.

have you checked for any errors in your browser console. sometime the behaviour you describe of getting "stuck" on the sending screen is caused by having
Code: [Select]
add_header X-Frame-Options DENY; in your httpd config. Roundcube uses frames.

you could also try enabling smtp_debug in your roundcube config and then it will log the SMTP conversation so you can check that the server is responding in good time.

I checked the browser console and I'm not finding any errors. I'm using Nginx but I'll look for add_header X-Frame-Options option and set it to SAMEORIGIN if I find it.
---edit
Code: [Select]
add_header Strict-Transport-Security max-age=15768000;is the only thing I'm finding in my server mail server conf file.

I added then disabled the add_header directive when it didn't change anything. I disabled all header directives, there are no warnings in my browser console. I enabled SMTP_Debug and just restarted. I just sent an email and don't know where to look for the log.

that logs says it took 5 minutes for your smtp server to send the message. so it looks like your smtp server is the source of the delay in the roundcube ui (roundcube is simply waiting for it to respond).

perhaps someone in the community of your smtp server can help you track down why it is take so long.

okay, thanks. I'll dig through the configs and try with postfix on the Ubuntu forums. Feel free to close this issue, and thanks for the help.
