Hi There Gurus, I find a solution for my case! My Problem: I'm using Qmail+MySQL (using the patch SoftAgency.co.jp) on a K6-II 450Mhz 128Mb RAM with IDE disks (I know scsi is much better, but is much expensive) and have up to 6000 users, and had installed AMaViS 0.2.1 (the shell version). With AMaViS running the "load average" of my server increases rapidly from the normal 0.2 - 0.5 to 30 - 35, and the software watchdog process I run restart the server at every 5min or so. My Solution: My first guest was the problem are with my users uid/gid, my users are on the MySQL db and the "id" command didn't find them. I then hacked the AMaViS scripts to use the "numerical id" instead of the user name on the log/tmp files and directories, but this didn't solve the load problem. Then I try changing the "concurrencylocal" and "concurrencyremote" values to make a test. And yes my problem was with the number of forks and external utilities called by the AMaViS shell-script! The _Solution_ I changed from AMaViS 0.2.1 to AMaViS-Perl-10, the AMaViS-Perl didn't depend on external utilities (only the virus scanners), then it is much faster! Now my server had a "load average" of about 0.7 - 1.2, and are working nicely again! Antonio. +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Antonio S.

Are you telling me you are using a k6-II 450Mhz and 128 MB of RAM to handle 6K users ? A friend o' mine was using a P100 with 32 MHZ to handle about 4K users, running qmail and FreeBSD (Of course), the box runs rock solid for more than 800 days.....
Hey All, Qmail MRTG v2.1 has been released. and can be downloaded from http://dev.prodigysolutions.com/qmailmrtg.2.1.tar.gz. Sean Truman

Dennis, It sounds like we're in very similar situations. I began working at a new company approximately 4 months ago and I too am moving most of the core services off Windows. I was presented with the same question regarding the bus, and even variations with street-cars, airplanes and trucks. ;) Cross-training, documentation and the URL to the archives are all a great start. We are about to rollout djbdns services from W2K machines and I had my two techs write the whole dns data file out for a couple hundred domains -- I don't think I'll need to explain to them how the entries work again. :) Yesterday I created another qmail server that will act as our relay and serve a hundred or so users -- I expect to go through some similar knowledge transfers. In the end, I think the benefits far outweigh the risks, and as Sean mentioned, M$ solutions have their learning curves as well. Worst case scenario would involve remote support via a SSH terminal from one of the many friendly qmail experts out there. ../mk - qmail grasshopper [BTW - the BSD box I created yesterday has djbdnscache, ssh2 and qmail w. courier-imap, vpopmail running on a dual PIII-500 with 256MB -- the machine has 232MB free with all services running (though no traffic yet) - what a beautiful thing!]

The status is that provided by the program tcpserver runs -- in this case, qmail-smtpd. Did you check what error message your DOS mailer was returning? It should point you to http://cr.yp.to/docs/smtplf.html, which explains the problem. Also, please fix your mailer; your message gets a little difficult to read with 200+ character lines.

Create one file containing the appropriate forward directive, and symlink or hardlink it to .qmail-virt1-postmaster, .qmail-virt2-postmaster, etc. If you don't like the brute force approach, you could have separate entries in virtualdomains for the role accounts you want: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:postmaster [EMAIL PROTECTED]:postmaster virtdomain1.com:virtuser1 virtdomain2.com:virtuser2 The two postmaster accounts could then be handled by ~postmaster/.qmail-postmaster or ~alias/.qmail-postmaster-default, which the rest of those virtualdomains are handled normally.

I was hoping to avoid this type of duplication. I guess what I really hoping for was a method of expanding wildcards in the assign file (eg *-root:...).

Hello, how can i define my IP-address and hostname to invisible when i send my email via smtp to the world ? I've seen the variable TCPLOCALIP and TCPLOCALHOST.

I am running Qmail and Vpopmail In my /home/vpopmail/domains/linux.octagon.se/ dir i have .qmail-"name" files, to make forwards. And this works fine as long as "name" doesnt contain a dot, but when i tried to make a .qmail file with a second dot in the filename (for example .qmail-mathias.gauntiz) qmail doesnt find it and sends the mail coming to that forward-adress to the adress in the .qmail-default file. i´ve tried with a - instead of a dot, i tried naming the file .qmail-mathias"."gauntiz and i´ve tried %2E instead of the dot. Nothing helps. Anyone got a suggestion? Thanks in advance! //Daniel Nilsson

>The issue at hand is whether or not you can specify multiple blackhole >lists with one call, or if you have to chain calls to rblsmtpd. With the help of the folks here, I've managed to implement multiple RBLs -- RBL, RSS, and DUL. I use tcpserver and rblsmtpd with qmail under Linux 2.2.18 (Slackware 7.1). The solution is multiple -r commands: rblsmtpd -r blah1.rbl.org -r blah2.rbl.org -r blah3.rbl.org This setup blocks the test messages at crynwr successfully. My full command line is: /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -x /etc/tcprules/tcp.smtp.cdb \ -u 1004 -g 2108 0 smtp /usr/local/bin/rblsmtpd -r blackholes.mail-abuse.org \ -r dialups.mail-abuse.org \ -r 'relays.mail-abuse.org:Open relay problem - see <URL:http://www.mail-abuse.org/cgi-bin/nph-rss?%IP%>' \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1 | /var/qmail/bin/splogger smtpd 3 & I've also installed the Alan Curry patch at http://itcentrx.com/mirrors/qmail/ucspi-rss.diff to resolve the issue of RSS not having TXT records anymore. Works perfectly. ag
Greetings. I'm seeking clarification on use of the "-r" option of rblsmtpd, described here: http://cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp/rblsmtpd.html The issue at hand is whether or not you can specify multiple blackhole lists with one call, or if you have to chain calls to rblsmtpd. I've had some reports that you can use multiple -r's, e.g. rblsmtpd -rrelays.orbs.org -rrbl.maps.vix.com However, user Mike Silbersack had a different experience and did some further research into the issue and sent me this: On Wed, 1 Nov 2000, Mike Silbersack wrote: > I'm sure that multiple -rs don't work now.

You can, at least with the latest rblsmtpd. You don't mention which version of ucspi-tcp you're using... The latest is 0.88. The page you reference above is for the rblsmtpd in the 0.88 distribution. > I've had some reports that you can use multiple -r's, e.g. > > rblsmtpd -rrelays.orbs.org -rrbl.maps.vix.com This is, in fact, the correct syntax. > However, user Mike Silbersack had a different experience and did some > further research into the issue and sent me this: [snip partial main() listing...] > I think this would indicate that repeating use of -r wouldn't work as > expected. The code you showed only allows one -r switch. However, that is not the code from ucspi-tcp 0.88. The following is the relevant piece of main() from 0.88: main(int argc,char **argv,char **envp) { int flagwantdefaultrbl = 1; char *x; int opt; ip_init(); x = env_get("RBLSMTPD"); if (x) { if (!*x) decision = 1; else if (*x == '-') { if (!stralloc_copys(&text,x + 1)) nomem(); decision = 3; } else { if (!stralloc_copys(&text,x)) nomem(); decision = 2; } } while ((opt = getopt(argc,argv,"bBcCt:r:a:")) != opteof) switch(opt) { case 'b': flagrblbounce = 1; break; case 'B': flagrblbounce = 0; break; case 'c': flagfailclosed = 1; break; case 'C': flagfailclosed = 0; break; case 't': scan_ulong(optarg,&timeout); break; case 'r': rbl(optarg); flagwantdefaultrbl = 0; break; case 'a': antirbl(optarg); break; default: usage(); } argv += optind; if (!*argv) usage(); if (flagwantdefaultrbl) rbl("rbl.maps.vix.com"); if (decision >= 2) rblsmtpd(); ... } > Can anyone clarify what's really supposed to happen, what really > does happen, and what it all means in a larger existential context?

Greetings, getmail version 2.0 has been released, and is available for download at: http://www.qcc.sk.ca/~charlesc/software/getmail-2.0/ getmail is a POP3 mail retriever written in Python and licensed under the GNU General Public License version 2. getmail has support for delivery to Maildirs and mbox files, and handles domain (multidrop) mailboxes. Version 2 is a complete rewrite featuring a simpler, more flexible configuration format, additional logging, regular expression matching on addresses for domain mailboxes, and improved handling of error conditions. getmail can keep track of which messages it has previously retrieved, and only download new mail. A mailing list has been set up to discuss getmail and offer voluntary support. Send a blank email to <getmail-subscribe @ discworld.dnsalias.org> to subscribe. As this is somewhat tangential to the qmail mailing list, please keep replies in private mail, or better, on the getmail mailing list.

Hi, I hope there is somebody out there so late on Saturday evening. I just want to warn you that this is my first Qmail installation and I am quite new to the Linux world. I was able to install checkpassword -0.81 and when I am testing it, I get these results. [root@test users]# telnet localhost 110 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.localdomain.

So both users have a little bit different problems, but the bottom line is that I can not retrieve the e-mails. I hope somebody can tell me what variable or ???? I messed up. I believe I am pretty close. Thank you for your assistance Peter
Title: RE: anybody out there at this time ??? confused about checkpassword and pop3Trying logging in with username '[EMAIL PROTECTED] 'instead of just 'test'. The same will fix
the problem for user 'x' (i.e. change it to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]').
Otherwise it will be looking for 'global' system accounts, not specific to a domain.
The other way to set this up, is to have the IP address that you are logging in to (on port 25) reverse lookup to the domain 'test.com'. See the Q-Mail documentation for more information on that.

Thank you Charles,
I did tested adding of the domain name to the user name with the same result
[root@test test]# telnet localhost 110
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain.
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
user [EMAIL PROTECTED]
+OK
pass test
-ERR authorization failed
Connection closed by foreign host.
I am also adding two config lines for this user just in case I did something wrong.
=test-com-test:popuser:888:888:/var/qmail/popboxes/test-com/test:::
test:teH0wLIpW0gyQ:popuser:/var/qmail/popboxes/test-com/test
I will have to try the reverse lookup after few hours of sleep. It is getting rather very early for Sunday on the East Coast US.
