Been having bad problems with SF just as described, seems that SFDB is creating problems; SF has been down a lot in the last couple of months.

It goes for hours if not noticed and accepts no messages, tunring hte SFDB option off appears to make it stable.

 

Running 3.1.3.597 since it came out, have not tried any pre-release as there is a Barracuda sitting on the workbench waiting implementation.  :(

Here are some excerts from the logs....

SpamFilter has failsafes in place so that mail processing continues even if the SFDB service is not available.

We did find a problem when the SFDB web services are *slooow* rather than unavailable. In this case, the HTTP request timeouts are too long when reporting a spammer IP to the SFDB. The reporting occurs upon disconnect, and this can affect the counter that keeps track of the current connections. The counter missses are very rare, and were thus hard to locate.

We were able to replicate this by placing SpamFilter behind a 56K modem and hitting it with 200 concurrent connections. Here we were finally able to reproduce the "stuck connections" problem!

We're testing build 3.1.603 with a fix. So far it looks fine, but it will need to be tested quite a bit more to ensure there are no other issues. If anyone is still suffering from major issues with the "stuck connections", we've made the build available on the website.

We're trying to figure out what the relationship is, but it is indeed a strange coincidence that we're looking into.

This morning, between 8am-1pm EST, we experienced severe slowdowns in our internet connection (it was an internal problem on our ISP, no hackers attacking the SFDB, no worries there), and from all your reports, the issues do seem related. We're looking into HTTP timeouts, and are trying to replicate the scenario in our labs. Hopefully we'll have updates soon.

Starting to suspect SFDB overload myself. Seeing a lot of SFDB hanging as well....

Any chance the bad guyz are attacking the SFDB server(s)?
