Courier + MySQL (was exim+mysql)
Still working on the virtual domains using MySQL. Found an excellent article at http://www.tty1.net/virtual_domains_en.html if anyone is interested. My problem is with Courier. I installed the courier-authmysql package, followed the info in :/usr/share/doc/courier-authmysql, then threw it all away and followed the info at the above site, and am still getting invalid authentication. I have tailed my /var/log/mysql/mysql.log and see no activity. I am assuming it is because Courier is not talking to the server. Also looked at the mysql.err file and see nothing there, nor in auth, daemon, message or syslog indicating courier is actually trying to talk to mysql. Any suggestions? I have attached the configurations if anyone has the time to look at them.

Sorry, now that i re-read it I see that I made it sound like SA was a hog. It has never impacted my server that I've seen. But, I only have it on a few accounts (it is opt-in for my clients, as is sanitizer), so I really don't know the impact. I just have noted that, even with spamd, it jumps to the top of the "top" list occasionally. But, like I said, I have never noticed the server slowing because of it, and it is a pretty crummy server. > > Rod Rodolico said: >> 2) spamassassin uses some processing power, so I am only running it >> against unknown senders > > What is your mail volume? > You really need a serious amount of mail for SA to bog down. > As you all realized, mail volume is relative. >>From what I've seen you can handle 100-200K messages per day on a single > 2-3GHZ mimedefang+sa box with no problem. > Then throw in greylisting if sa is slowing you down. > That should work well at reducing the number of messags you need to run > content-analysis on with sa. > > Greylisting has worked well at blocking drive by spammers from one shot ip > addresses. > I've used it on my production servers with never a complaint. > > > -- > --Luke CS Sysadmin, Montana State University-Bozeman > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Hi! Do you have some security-enhancement packages installed on www01? I could imagine (i.e. don't know :-)) that stuff like selinux decreases umlimits on kernel compile time. Or maybe some uml or virtual hosts/machine package installed for hosting customers? rgds, j.

Re: [mailinglists] Ulimit and max processes
/etc/sysctl.conf is empty on both boxes... Both are running woody. Very confused...

I am running two debian boxes with woody, but one has a ulimit -u (max user proc) of 7168, and the other of 256. (both as root) the difference does not appear to be in login.defs or /etc/security/limits. Does anyone have any ideas where I should look... diff -r /etc /etcother didnt seem to show any important diffeneces..
