Delay after RCTP command on GMail - smtp

I want to create a SMTP validation on registration at my website, but I got a strange behavior on GMail SMTP servers.
The validation looks like sending emails: after establishing connection with SMTP server I send commands EHLO, HELO, MAIL FROM, RCPT TO and QUIT.
Commands like HELO and MAIL FROM not take many time, but command RCPT TO can take about 3 seconds on GMail. For example, on several others servers this command takes only 200-300ms.
Also, if I check an existing email address, RCTP command takes only 600-900ms, but this delay always takes more then 3 seconds for unexisting address.
I think, this delay is an antispam behavior, but how I can bypass it?
My domain already has correct TXT-SPF and SPF records. My server not listed in any spam lists.

I'm not seeing the delay that you're reporting after RCPT TO. I run a mail server that logs the transcript with the remote MTA for every delivery. Looking at a few recent deliveries to gmail addresses, I see that the server for gmail responded with a 250 OK almost immediately after RCPT TO from my side. See below. (email addresses and IP's anonymized to protect the innocent!).

XAMPP: mysql shuts down every day or two, Needs to restart xampp every time

Everything was working fine, but now I get error in browser while visiting my websites "error establishing database connection". Error gets solved after restarting xampp, and what I observe every time that mysql module of xampp stops running.
Few months ago this error was coming every 15 days, and I always solved this issue by restarting xampp, but now it occurs very frequently(everyday or in 2 days).
I also tried one solution "deleting the file ibdata1" that helped me for 3-4 days, and problem started again.
here is my error log:

It is big problem to me as well as visitors of my websites.
Please guys, If any one of you know how to solve this issue, do reply.
Thanks in advance !!
I got the same error on my website.
In my case it was the cron upgrade proces which gave an MySQL error. After fixing this no restarts where needed anymore.

Openshift site shuts down unexpectedly

I have a site hosted on OpenShift. Every so often, maybe once every two weeks, the server appears to randomly shut down the site. I get a 503 error on the page and the server log says:
DEBUG: Sending SIGTERM to child...

I can restart the app and it works fine again for a while but I would prefer to find the source of the issue and solve it. The error doesn't mean much to me. Where should I start looking for the origin of the SIGTERM?

How to debug Server Error 500 on Openshift, when rhc tail does not show errors?

I'm trying to debug a Server Error 500 with my application. I've read that you should use rhc tail to show a live log stream and with the current error, the log stream that appears when trying to display the page is:

The error shown is:
Other pages work, this error only appears on certain "more advanced" pages (eg. static pages show correctly). The rest of the log, is:

What is the next step to debug this problem?
I added the following Django logging configuration which gave me the details of the 500 errors in a file django.log. I set LOG_DIR = os.environ.get('OPENSHIFT_LOG_DIR')
LOGGING = {
'version': 1,
'disable_existing_loggers': False,
'handlers': {

'level': 'WARNING',

'filename': os.path.join(LOG_DIR, 'django.log'),
},
},
'loggers': {

'handlers': ['file'],
'level': 'WARNING',
'propagate': True,
},
},
}

The problem is described in your log file:
no listener in /opt/gwan_linux32-bit
This is likely to be a file permission issue. Also, try to rename this folder as gwan32 as old versions had trouble with names matching the naming patterns used by listeners.
Note: the version you are using is quite old: G-WAN 4.3.14 (March 14 2013), registered users have access to far more recent releases that add features and patches for system (OS versions, LIBC versions, Hypervisors...) incompatibilities.

iptables was the culprit. Simple turn of iptables or add libvirt default port ranges
