Change them to A records. So instead of:
abc.com IN A 1.2.3.4
branch1.abc.com IN CNAME abc.com
do this:
abc.com IN A 1.2.3.4
branch1.abc.com IN A 1.2.3.4

Or a typo, perhaps. Thank you for making a good point in
this discussion. It should be 'per minute', as everyone
else seems to have understood.
-----------
Closing up this discussion:
The problem was: How can I make qmail deliver more mails per
day, how to increase to flow of mails, considering that a
computer has 1.4 in 15-minute uptime load on average mid-day.
Currently the system does actually use our own mail delivery
program (the magic '|' option in dot-qmail). This, ofcouse,
serves our purpose much better than the /Maildir system
or LDAP databases.
It seems I might have solved our problem by removing the
unneccesary qmail-local from the delivery system, so that
qmail-lspawn spawns my delivery program directly.
I also removed some unnessecary fsync()s as they were
slowing down everything very much. It also seems that
Linux's ulimit on processes-per-child has been a problem.
Burst mailing causes serialization because Linux won't
spawn child processes. That too is no problem anymore.
IO is obviously the problem here, not how-to-interpret-that
damn-uptime-load. To everyone making 'points' about typos
and misinterprets: please stick to the question, don't
harass the one posting. All I want is someone's opinion on
a technical problem, not 14-year-olds quarreling.
Thank's for all your postings, especially to Adam McKenna.

mail systems at http://NamePlanet.com). :)

Be careful; if you mean that you've removed fsync()s from Dan's code,
then you have definitely thrown away reliability in order to gain
throughput. In your application, is it acceptable for emails to be
silently lost under a power failure? Where did you get the idea that
they were "unneccesary"?
BTW you could get the same result--indeed, better results--without
tampering with Dan's code, if you simply add memory and mount a
ramdisk on /var/qmail/queue.
If that revolts you, then you might want to put the fsync()s back.

Correct. But Dan is not stupid; when he accepted the I/O cost, it was
to gain a benefit. Before you refuse the cost, you should be sure you
know what the benefit was--and that it doesn't outweigh the cost.

Ok firstly,
Who said I removed fsync()s from Dan's code? Please read my
closing and see if I've said that. You see, you're really
taking words out of my mouth.
What I said was that I removed unnessesary fsync()s. From *MY*
code, that is. I used two fsync()s before every close, just to
reassure that we wouldn't get any NFS problems. Now, we aren't
ever going to run NFS, so I removed *one* fsync per file-close
and wrote it as a 'fdatasync'. Our RAID-7 controller is mounted
with write-through cache and so the loss of mails equals ZIP.
First, you complain about my where-did-you-get-that-from removing
of Dan Bernstein's fsync()s, then you advise me to mount my
queue-directory on a *ramdisk*????
That means, if the power dies and the UPS short-circuits, all
the mail in the queue will be lost!

Just FYI, the correct expression is ``putting words into my mouth'',
and I didn't do that. You did notice the ``if'', I trust? All the rest
of my remarks were predicated on the conditional:

I'm glad you solved your problem.
I am somewhat surprised, though: if you call fsync() twice in a row, I
would think that the second one would not do anything. The kernel
knows that the file has been flushed, and wouldn't bother to do it
again, would it? However, profiling doesn't lie--if you've seen
performance improve, then you've improved performance. :)

This is one of many serious bugs in the Solaris ucb libraries. Do not
use /usr/ucb/cc. One way to prevent mistakes is to move
/usr/ucbinclude to /usr/ucbinclude-broken.

It was a turn of phrase -- he meant that IF you were removing the fsync()
from Dan's code, you might as well put your queue on a RAM disk, since the
results would be the same.

I was asked to administer a site of a organization, and the homepage of the
organization is already running (Www.site.or.id)
The organization site now is hosted at an ISP.
Now the organization want to have their own server (Server colocation) and
no longer use the ISP space.
The ISP only gave one IP address for the organization, and with that one
IP, I should make a web mail service for about 25 sub domains.
At the server, I use qmail, ucspi, qmailadmin, vpopmail, ezmlm, and other
qmail tools.
Actually I've made a DNS record to add to the ISP's dns record, because we
still not permitted to run our DNS service, although I've setup the DNS,
and only need to enter the record and run ndc start
the DNS record is below (not with real IP)
server A 192.168.1.1
MX 10 server
MX 20 my.isp.mail.service
staff CNAME server
MX 10 server
MX 20 my.isp.mail.service
sma CNAME server
MX 10 server
MX 20 my.isp.mail.service
smp CNAME server
MX 10 server
MX 20 my.isp.mail.service
and so on, until 25 sub domains
But this morning the administrator of the ISP, just added like this
server A 192.168.1.1
MX 10 server
MX 20 my.isp.mail.service
staff CNAME server
sma CNAME server
smp CNAME server
to his server.
Okay, the site now could be accessed by it's domain name
(http://server.site.or.id), but if someone called joe with his account
[EMAIL PROTECTED] want to send email to me (@iname.com), then I will
received his email, but his return address will be [EMAIL PROTECTED]
If I want to send email to joe, using my ISP SMTP, then after the email
arrived at server.site.or.id, the email will be bounced back, because the
email when arrived at server.site, would be changed it's to address from
[EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Now my question is how to fix this ?
Is by adding MX record to the DNS record will solve the problem ?
Beside that, how to use qmail-pop3d to fetch mail from virtualdomain account ?
I run it under tcpserver.

Thanks for your answer, but, is it okay to have multiple A address which

It's absolutely okay, and it's required if you want your mail setup to work. It
had better be okay, because you can't stop someone from pointing a name in his
domain at one of your addresses.
Chris
Yes, we do it all the time.

Okay, I am understand ;)
I think CNAME is enough for mail system as for virtual domain with IP
aliassing hosting ;)

Well qmail has this feature with the '-' instead of '+', and IIRC this
is configurable as well.

Your entry will allow the complete class -c subnet of 195.245.48
(195.245.48.0-195.245.48.255) to relay through your server. Is there
somewhere a typo or wich host will be allowed to relay from the mentioned
subnet? This host should be added like the other hosts at the end of your

Good day.
We're running Qmail as a mainline ISP mailserver.
Here's a few stats...
420,000 Email on the server.
27 Gig of disk space used for that Email.
66,000 local mailboxes.
300,000 Email delivered to local users/day.
200,000 Email delivered to remote sites/day.
600,000 POP mail accesses/day.
750 Virtual domains hosted on the server.
17,000 Mapping for those virtual domains.
The box is an Ultra enterprise 450 with dual 330Mhz Ultrasparc II processors
and an A1000 RAID array.
Now, this poor box during the day is running with a load between 10 and 20
and goes down to around 2 or 3 late at night.
Normally it keeps up pretty good, but when there's heavy spamming it can start
to get behind with between 10,000 and 20,000 Email in the queue. (there's
never less than 1000 in the queue, waiting for remote delivery)
The queue has to be cleaned very regularrly as Mailer Daemon email builds up
in the queue at a rate of over 1000 per day.(all undeliverable)
Now, the question is. What to do to get the poor box under control. I don't
think it's CPU related but more IO problems.
Anyone else running this large a Qmail instalation?
I'm about to call Sun and ask them to make it better, but I'm not sure they'll
be able to recommend much either.
Greg
You need to tell us additional facts about the server that are relevant to the
question.
Eg, Is /var/qmail/queue on a separate partition?
What are the iostats like on each of the spindles?
How are you running qmail-smtpd?
what are your concurrency settings?
What pop server are you using?
Are the 66K mailboxes in user home directories all in /home?
What does qmail-qstat show?
Regards.

I'm averaging 120,000+ emails (mostly mailing lists) a day on just an
Ultra 10 333Mhz, 512MB Ram, and IDE HD's, and it rarely shows more than
1-2% utilization, so, I'm not sure that helps, but maybe it gives you
some reference point to go on. It certainly seems your setup should be
running far lower on utilization. Are you running it in inetd? or
tcpserver? (etc).

One thing to note is that inbound mail typically consumes a *lot* more system
resources than outbound, especially if the outbound is mailing lists managed
by something qmail-friendly, like ezmlm.

How much cache ram on that RAID array. 256MB would be a good start.

Solaris patches, or qmail patches?
As for qmail, I'm running it pretty much vanilla, no patches at all.

Hmm. 2Gig of /var/qmail, that seems quite large, even for 3,000 queue entries. Btw,
3000 queue entries is not necessarily a problem. That's about 100K per mail message,
which is very large indeed. Is there something else significant on that partition?

Looks like both disks are getting pummelled into the ground. 200+ tps is a lot!

So you can have upto 350 processes trying to do i/o to the queue. That seems
high to me. You might want to a separate instance of qmail handling inbound smtp
and outbound smtp. That way you can control the concurrency better.

That's good. big todo wont do much for you. It may simply be that you're trying to run
too much concurrency for a single spindle. How may of each time of qmail process do you
have?

How many were remote and how many were local?
Regards.
I don't think bigtodo is going to help much given that his todo is empty - at least
in the one sample we have.

The queue itself is taking 512Meg of space. The other thing there is a huge
log of pop accesses I was using to work out stats of how many pops per day.

How would one split it apart? I suppose we could have the clients connect to
one IP/host for their mail, but anything coming into the MX for the box
eventually has to show up on this box anyway.

Is there an option in qstat to determine remote and local?
I'm pretty sure it's all remote, and probably all Mailerdaemon.

If spamming is the main problem, have you looked into tarpitting?

Subject: Tarpitting
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
From: Chris Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
There was some discussion a while back about tarpitting. If you don't
know what that is (I didn't when it first came up), it's the process
of inserting a small sleep in an SMTP session for each RCPT TO after
some set number of RCPT TOs. The idea is to thwart spammers who would
hand your SMTP server a single message with a long list of RCPT TOs.

I think the other thing is that his smtp concurrency via tcpserver is serving
a dual purpose in that it's providing enough concurrency for his internal people
as well as for MX traffic. That means it has to be set fairly high so that his
internal people always get a connection.
I'd be inclined to put the MX on a separate (multi-homed) address running a separate
instance of tcpserver which has a *much* lower concurrency than 300 and have the
original
tcpserver concurrency set to something lower to match the internal requirements.
Other possibilities are to lower the concurrencylocal on an instance of qmail that
handles MX traffic so that even if a spammer gets thru the delivery is distributed
across greater time.
Regards.

Yes, I meant qmail patches. big-todo is a patch by Russell Nelson,
updated by others:
http://www.qmail.org/big-todo.103.patch
It can increase qmail's performance by an enormous amount if there are
large numbers of messages injected into the queue but qmail hasn't yet
preprocessed them.
There's also a note on the www.qmail.org page about changing conf-split
and recompiling if your queue will ever get above 23k messages or so.

Hello,
I am running Qmail 1.03 with the LDAP patch from http://www.nrg4u.com
on a Solaris 2.6 box. LDAP is OpenLDAP 1.2.9 residing on the same
box.
The patch applies cleanly to the source, and I'm able to compile qmail
successfully. However, when I try to start qmail, I get:

Now, I believe I have all of the ldap entries in /var/qmail/control
entered correctly, but at this point, I'm not exactly sure where the
problem lies. Any hints at what I should be trying?

Do you have ldap related control files? AFAIR, control/ldapserver must
exist.

Yeah, I do have those. I added the ones mentioned in the QLDAPINSTALL
file, one of which is 'ldapserver'. Is there a minimum set that is
needed? Right now I have them all defined; could it be that one of
the non-required files is causing this?

Do you have a user name and password set up in qmail control files to
access LDAP server? That user must have rights to read LDAP directory. Try
to query LDAP server using that username and password.

For the username and password, what I would like to do, at least for
now, is to just perform an anonymous bind. How do I represent that in
the control files?
However, I have also tried using a username/password with which I can
successfully perform an ldapsearch against the db. qmail still
doesn't launch successfully, however, when given this information.
thanks,
blair

I've just checked my qmail-ldap settings and found no username password
there :-). However, when I removed control/ldapserver qmail refused
to start saying "cannot start: hath the daemon spawn no fire?". Everything
went back to normal when I put control/ldapserver to its place.
So, I don't really know but the problem seems to depend on existence of
that file.

I got the same error using qmail without any patches, after renaming
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-local and /var/qmail/bin/qmail-remote for an amavis
installation. Are qmail-remote and qmail-local located in /var/qmail/bin and
have the correct file permission? Perhaps something went wrong while
compiling of the patched source.

I have some domains with different names, but they are really the same
one. It's something like: my-domain.com, mydomain.com, my-domain.net,
mydomain.net...
It is possible to make each of the domains an alias of the "real one"
(in this case, "my-domain.com"). I'm using vpopmail, and I though that
making a link from ~vpopmail/domains/alias.tld to
~vpopmail/domains/my-domain.com will be enough, am I wrong??

Not as far as I can see. I'm running with a similar change.
Actually, my change neuters the effects of execvp returning:
*** qmail-rspawn.c 1999/04/23 16:48:16 1.1
--- qmail-rspawn.c 2000/01/27 15:16:35 1.2
***************
*** 96,103 ****
if (fd_move(1,fdout) == -1) _exit(111);
if (fd_copy(2,1) == -1) _exit(111);
execvp(*args,args);
! if (error_temp(errno)) _exit(111);
! _exit(100);
}
return f;
}
--- 96,102 ----
if (fd_move(1,fdout) == -1) _exit(111);
if (fd_copy(2,1) == -1) _exit(111);
execvp(*args,args);
! _exit(111);
}
return f;
}
The root problem in my case was a FreeBSD semi-bug...
Between 2.2.x and 3.x, the bad-old vfork() semantics
returned (i.e. parent and child had the same address
space). This lead to a memory pseudo-leak[1] in
qmail-rspawn, which then ran into an rlimit, which
prevented rspawn from, well, spawning.
Quick (and effective) fix:
sysctl -w kern.fast_vfork=0
stopped the leaking instantly.

Hello, I'm trying to configure my MX host running qmail 1.03 to pass all
incoming mails to another host that makes the local delivery.
While not solve this problem I can't migrate from Postfix to qmail, in
postfix I use a config file called "transports" and add a line like this :
domain.com smtp:[a.b.c.d]
This means that all mails for "domain.com" recived in this server are passed
via smtp to "a.b.c.d".
Please, I need to do this in qmail but I cant find how to do this in the
Docs/Faqs/etc....
Tnx.

It's done through the smtproutes file. Do a
'man qmail-remote' for more info.

I have a very simple question : How to reload postfix configuration (some
like restart all postfix daemons to reload the configurations files).

Running qmail on Solaris 7+dotforward+fastforward+procmail into

Nothing ever appears in /var/spool/mail. I have done this plenty of times
so I know its something stupid. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks.

a) an empty .qmail file
b) a program in a .qmail file exits 99.
c) "fastforward -p"

found out where is your sendmail.cf on your machines
and define macros M
i think there may be something like this
<snip>
#who I masquerade as (null for no masquerading)
DM
</snip>
and change it to
DMdomain.com

Hi,
we are going to start a web mail project with more then
300.000 users.
As imap server we use cyrus, modified to do authentification
via an oracle account_db.
We decided using qmail instead of sendmail as SMTP server.
My question is how to setup qmail working with cyrus,
especially doing the same authentification mechanism.
Is there a way to configure qmail asking cyrus for user
authentification or do we also have to change qmail doing
the pwcheck with an oracle db?
Are there already any qmail-oracle authentification modules
available? And can we use the same account_db as for cyrus
or does qmail need any other authentification values?
Thanks,
Markus
hi all,
We have two locally delivered domains: cia.com.au and ezeelynx.com.au
We have a user willows who wants to receive mail at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and
wants [EMAIL PROTECTED] to be forwarded somewhere else. I've tried
creating:
/var/qmail/alias/.qmail-ezeelynx:com:au-willows
with a line:
&[EMAIL PROTECTED]
but this file is ignored and any mail that comes in to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] just goes straight into the willows mailbox.
Anyone have any ideas?
