Bounce Server not terminating processes

Hi there,

We have an installation of mailwizz and my developer says the the bounce handler does not terminate the processes and keeps building up.
We are using the latest version. When we remove the bounce server, the numbers go down. When we add a bounce server, the processes go up. In a few hours, it will overfill.

Our bounce server uses POP3.

What advice can you give so that it terminates the processes?

Thanks
 
You can disable the cron job and run it from command line with the --verbose=1 flag, to see if it hangs for any reason, and if it does, you'll see where.
Bounce processing will always be slow and heavy on the resources though, this is just how this works.
 
We did that with my developer with --verbose=1 flag. My developer said this:

"The script is very fast and does not require a lot of resources. It just can't terminate. And the next iteration of the cron runs additional processes. They accumulate until the memory runs out."

This will not happen, when the process starts, if you look in the output in screenshot, it will acquire a lock.
As long as this process holds the lock, no other process can start. They will run, see the lock and then exit. You can test this by having two opened console terminals and run the command in both of them at the same time.

This is weird, i'd say, since processing of the bounce servers is done, it should exit clean, not sure where it hangs, but we can take a look into this if you wish, via support tickets.

I'll be happy to do that, let me send the details and reference this thread. Cheers
