Minor(?) problem with rspamd

Hello,

I have migrated our ISPConfig webserver from spamassassin to rspamd by this howto: https://www.howtoforge.com/replacing-amavisd-with-rspamd-in-ispconfig/

Apart from minor issues it seems to work well, but I keep getting an error message in the errors list on the history tab of rspamd GUI:

Can anyone please tell me what that means, and if I need to fix that (and, if so, how)?

Thank you!
Regards, Tom


System is:
- Debian GNU/Linux 9.9 (stretch)
- ISPConfig 3.1.15
- Dovecot 2.2.27

 

Would be a nice ans simple solution at least, but alas is not the case. ;-)
I re-checked the howto steps; everything ok, redis and rspamd services running.

Any other ideas?

 

Hi,

no I don't think so. Redis port is standard 6379.

Menawhile I have tried a few things. This did not solve the problem, but maybe the following steps should be done as part od the installation of rspamd:

I found that in the redis log there are some hints when you restart the redis-server service:

I fixed the issues by following the suggestions in the log text above. For the first issue (TCP backlog) I used

1. Code:

   echo 1024 > /proc/sys/net/core/somaxconn

2. added
   Code:

   net.core.somaxconn=65535

   in the /etc/sysctl.conf file

After that I restarted redis-server and all issues of the log were gone.

But this did not change the behaviour of rspamd, I still get the same errors.

After that I set the redis logging level to debug and searched the output for hints at the times when errors were reported in rspamd. Nothing.

I will try now to debug the lua module in rspamd that produced the error. If I should find a solution I will post it here.

Thanks for your help!
Regards, Tom

 

Hi, sometimes i see this error too on Debian 9, it looks like redis is working and rspamd, have not had time to investigate this yet.
Not yet seen on Debian 10, so could be that.

 

Hello,

after reviewing the problem in all detail again, I have found at least a partial solution now.
The problem is the Redis connection configuration in rspamd provided by the howto (https://www.howtoforge.com/replacing-amavisd-with-rspamd-in-ispconfig/#install-and-configure-rspamd)

In the howto the configuration is done by the line

But this seems to fall short; you have to add the port for the connection to work fully.

So, in my case, the command should be

6379 is the default redis port; if you are not sure on which port redis is listening on your server, simply execute

You should get an output like the following:

There you will see the correct redis port for your system.

This fix reduced the amount of rspamd errors on our server significantly.

 

I had also the same redis_cache_cb received error: -messages in rspamd.log. I had been running rspamd for 6 days on this production host, and just yesterday noticed those errors. The fix was like @teves wrote, add the port number to redis.conf.
I had tested rspamd on my test system before I dared to install on production. But the test system runs Debian 10 Buster, the production system is Debian 9 Strech. On Buster rspamd and redis work despite not having the port number. I do not know about Ubuntu, but Debian 9 seems to need that port number.
I noticed the error message by chance, I happened to scroll the rspamd GUI history page to the very bottom, where the errors were hiding. Then looking at the logs I saw there were no rspamd_proxy lines, like on the test system. Lesson learned: even if the tool has very nice GUI, always read the logs.
Readers of this forum may have noticed I tend to promote using Internet Search Engines. I did not ask about this redis_cache_cb error because I first used those search engines and found this thread where the problem was already finely solved.

 

Same situation here:
cannot connect to redis (OS error): Cannot assign requested address
cannot connect to redis ::1 (port 6379): Cannot assign requested address

I was able to fix the problem by following your solution. Thank you!

 

Thanks so much!
