Roberto

Thank you for your input, the blame was the protection profile at the spamfilter rule of our firewall

Sorry for that!

Kind regards

Wayne,

SpamFilter will poll stats from our SFDC and SFDB databases every two minutes to display the count of IPs and of spam hashes being blacklisted at any time. Twice every two minutes indicates 1440 queries every 24 hours, which is pretty close to the number of errors you see. If you see those errors exactly 2 minutes apart, it means that your SpamFilter server is not able to communicate with our website (specifically http://sfdb.logsat.com) to retrieve that information. Please also note that if your server is not able to make HTTP requests to that same URL, SpamFilter will not be able to use our SFDB and SFDC filters, which are very effective in stopping spam.

Can you please ensure that the server running SpamFilter is able to make those web connections? Proxy servers and/or web filtering appliances/applications in your network could be preventing that from occurring. You can verify that this process works by going to the "Settings" - "Configuration" tab in SpamFilter, and then clicking on the "SFDB Settings" button. In the window that appears, you should see in the bottom right a value for "Current IPs listed in the SFDB" in the order of 100,000-500,000.

Hmmm ... not sure if this means anything or helps but .... in 5 days:

1 of these: HTTP Error in GetSFDBStats:HTTP/1.1 503 Service Unavailable

3 of these: HTTP Error in SFDBUploadIP check:HTTP/1.1 503 Service Unavailable

All events happened around the same time ... within a 1 minute period.

Push up

Roberto, is there something new about this problem?

Because we've got 1'410 "HTTP Error in GetSFDBStats:Connect timed out" in 24h.

Thx

Yes, we see the same on our end. Looks like the timeout is not caused by the query, as we've verified that the calls are now indeed non-blocking, and they were not before. Back to the drawing board.
