Share a common backend and the have multiple front end machines accepting mail/delivering mail and all serving webmail. Each machine you put in the cluster will decrease the load point by a compounding factor. 2 machines decreases the load on each machine by 1/2, 3 by 1/3, etc. This also makes drive space easier in the event you want to increase space at a later date. 2 machines running NFS and replicated on a constant basis would allow you to either add drives (depending on your setup) on the fly whenever needed.

RE: [qmailtoaster] Can QMailToaster Handle 10,000 email addresses?
The advice Jake has already provided is great. If you truly are going to build a setup like this the biggest part will be the shared storage solution and a clustered environment on the front-end. Making sure you have fairly aggressive spam filtering as well is big, too. I for instance, have a system dedicated to only running the Spamassassin daemon process with quite powerful hardware. In addition spamdyke or similar will help with load. The biggest part if you want reliable service, though, will be the LB solution.

[qmailtoaster] mac address
Last night I migrated my mail server using qtp-backup and qtp-restore. Everything went well. The server is sending and receiving emails just fine. My only problem is one scanner on my network will not connect to the server via port 25 to send out scanned documents. I've looked at everything. SpamDyke, SpamAssassing, IP Chains, IP Tables, etc. I cannot find any reason why the server is rejecting all communications with this device. I even changed IP addresses twice and it still rejects its connection. My only remaining thought is that somewhere the devices MAC address is blacklisted or something. Any ideas out there? I feel like I've tried everything.

RE: [qmailtoaster] mac address
I don't think that there is anything wrong with the log message, I see many just like it in my log file. If the scanner isn't using SMTP AUTH, however, then the connection to port 587 is going to be rejected by your toaster. You can verify the ARP cache on the Linux server using the `/sbin/arp` command. Are you sure that it isn't the scanner that has cached the previous server's MAC address (or some other stale piece of information)? _ From: Dan Herbon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 02, 2008 2:52 PM To: qmailtoaster-list@qmailtoaster.com Subject: RE: [qmailtoaster] mac address Nothing even displays in the SMTP or SEND logs.

[qmailtoaster] toaster specs
Hello all, Edwin Casimero question about the Qmailtoaster's specifications for serving 10,000 email clients spur my first question. 1.

[qmailtoaster] QControl version 1.1-1.0.1
I've released QControl 1.1-1.0.1 and QControlPE 1.1-1.0.1 This is a minor bugfix release - an oversight in the PHP code did not allow for -1 to be used as a valid entry for unlimited when editing a domain. This issue has been fixed. Cent4 and Cent5 versions are available at http://qcontrol.v2gnu.com If you purchased the commercial version, it will be available in your downloads area when you log into vcghosting.com Thanks! - QmailToaster hosted by: VR Hosted http://www.vr.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Have I assumed correctly that the standard install of Qmailtoaster is sufficient given the correct hardware and internet connection for this application. Plenty. You really don't need to adjust much until you start to get 900+ users, depending on certain criteria. 2.

If I decided to us IMAP4 or IMAP4-SSL is there a rule of thumb mailbox size. Depends on your hard drive space. Don't remember if this version of courier does or not, but some versions had issues with mailboxes over 2G. 3.

Outlook and Outlook Express are the email client software this particular customer will be using. There was an Outlook hack out there a while back that allowed you to re-bounce a message without affecting the headers, but that was several Outlook versions ago so it probably doesn't work with the new versions. Otherwise, no, not that I'm aware of. You could use DSPAM instead of Spamassassin (which DOES allow you to do what you're looking to do) but for the situations where I tested it out, it did not work for me. It needs to be trained before it's any good at all and requires a higher level of user that I usually get hired by.

Re: [qmailtoaster] Can QMailToaster Handle 10,000 email addresses?
Thank you for all the advices. This is the offer of the data center: 10TB SAN (storage area network) 8 core cpu with up to 32gb of memory, gigabit connected to the internet. Will a single install of CentOS 5.x 32-bit be enough to handle 10,000 email addresses? Or do I need 64-bit CentOS to be able to handle 32GB of memory? Or do I still need a clustered qmailtoaster for the front end? Which I do not know how to do. Is there a link how to do a clustered qmailtoaster? - QmailToaster hosted by: VR Hosted http://www.vr.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: [qmailtoaster] Can QMailToaster Handle 10,000 email addresses?
Having 32 GB of RAM doesn't automatically necessitate 64-bit processors. Unless your application is specifically designed to use 64-bit instructions, the extra 32 bits does nothing. And I can tell you that the Qmail toaster packages DO NOT take advantage of 64-bit processors with the possible exception of a 64-bit installation of MySQL Server. And even then, your real resource tax is the nasty filtering software. Qmail doesn't acknowledge an incoming e-mail was actually received until after it places it in the queue, which does not happen until ClamAV and SpamAssassin are done doing their jobs. If you're going to spend real money on an infrastructure, your better severed not trying to load balance a bunch of qmail toasters but actually try and host spamassassin and clamav externally. Use a back channel network (separate Ethernet interface with RFC 1918 addresses) and then configure spamc and clamav clients to connect to spamd/clamd running on physically separate machines. They SHOULD be able to return those messages back to your incoming SMTP servers. Another thing to do would be to also have a separate SMTP server dedicated to your own users (perhaps a xen instance, if you have the processing power to spare). It would have port 25 turned off, and JUST 587 turned on. This way, on your public SMTP server(s), you can switch your /var/qmail/control/blacklists hostname to Spamhaus' zen database, and drastically reduce the amount of filtering your spam filters have to do by just refusing the SMTP connections out right. Finally, consider moving IMAP4 to its own machine. A lot of this is going to require some experience with customizing the configuration of the software packages. Things like vpopmail are going to need to be tweaked to connect to a remote host for reading MySQL vpopmail database. I encourage a lot of testing if trying to set all this up. regards, Dairenn Lombard Unix Systems Administrator BroadSpire 617 West 7th Street, Suite 601, LA, CA 90017 Phone: 213.986.1051 | Fax: 213.688.7791 | NOC: 888.262.6161x2 Web Ecosystem Marketing www.BroadSpire.com -Original Message- From: Edwin Casimero [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 02, 2008 5:13 PM To: qmailtoaster-list@qmailtoaster.com Subject: Re: [qmailtoaster] Can QMailToaster Handle 10,000 email addresses?

Re: [qmailtoaster] Can QMailToaster Handle 10,000 email addresses?
Another point that I think (I could be wrong) Jake was trying to get to which I think is important to acknowledge is that if you are setting up something like this, you want to do everything reasonably possible to avoid any single point of failure. The offered 8-core processor system with 32gb of RAM is great. But that's one box. If that box has a serious problem, suddenly your email is inaccessible. For a tiny little 'home' service, that might be OK. But for a business- critical system like this for 10k users, that's just unacceptable. You're going to want and need multiple complete physical servers running in clustered format with replicated database and shared storage via that SAN, so that if something tanks one of those machines, the system as a whole is still usable, accessible and running while you work on fixing the problem, whether it be hardware or software. I know I've heard others say that Dovecot is a more efficient IMAP4 than Courier (which is the QMT default) for large numbers of users and for large email stores. I think, hardware-wise, you'd be better off with 4 dual-core systems with 4gb each, than with 1 8-core with 32gb, specifically for that reason. I confess I myself am not up to snuff to be able to execute all of this, but I know that Jake and others have expressed previously that they've done it, and would do it again for a fee. I strongly advise you to consider hiring out someone capable of the expertise required to make this go, especially if the project is at all time- critical.
