[qmailtoaster] pop 3 softlimit

2013-01-29 Thread Rajesh M
hi

the value specified in the pop3/run file for soft limit

i am a bit confused as to what this means

is per pop3 session or for the entire pop3 service.

exec /usr/bin/softlimit -m 2500 \
/usr/bin/tcpserver -v -R -H -l0 -c 300 0 110 \

thanks
rajesh

 the problem is that i cannot install iotop because it needs a later
 version of python. updating python may break yum.

Hmm, I just installed iotop with yum on three centos5 servers...

It is part of the base CentOS5 so you should have no problems
installing it as well?

at this point i was not thinking of raid at all.


I don't do any server w/out raid-1 (at least) any more. The HDD is the

  be sure to have noatime and nodiratime (mount options) and

dir_index (tune2fs option) specified.

todate i never had to used noatime and nodiratime and dir_index. Are there
any negatives of using this. i using this server only for qmailtoaster ?


I don't know of any negatives of specifying noatime and nodiratime. It 
only means that the access times on files and directories won't be 
updated. I don't know of anything this affects, and it does improve HDD 
performance slightly.


dir_index on the other hand does have a potential negative. It requires 
a little overhead on writes and deletes, but reads are faster. I think 
the overhead's negligible. This is mostly to improve imap, and I can see 
where having this setting with a lot of pop3 accounts might be slightly 
detrimental.



the client transmits around 30 gb data per day - 6 emails per day in
between there employees and also with external entities



That's a ton all right.

 I don't know of any performance measurements. Dovecot isn't designed for
 pop3, so I wouldn't necessarily expect performance to be much better. I
 wouldn't expect it to be much worse either though.

 I just made the switch a few minutes ago. In addition to what's
 mentioned on the wiki, I added (to local.conf file):

 protocol pop3 {
pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh
pop3_fast_size_lookups = yes
pop3_lock_session = yes
 # %f format is compatible with qmail-pop3d
 # pop3_uidl_format = %f
 }

 If you include pop3_uidl_format = %f, you should have no problem with
 duplicated message downloads, as this is the same format as qmail-pop3d
 uses (according to the dovecot wiki). I was able to verify that there
 weren't any such messages on my server, so I've commented this out, and
 will be using the default dovecot format going forward.

eric,

thanks for the reply.

the dovecot indexing method is what intrigues me. when i switched over
from courier imap to dovecot imap the performance difference was huge

i am having a server with around 5000 users. around 3500 users use
webmail. dovecot imap handles this pretty well.

around 1500 use pop3 and webmail both and many leave copy of messages on
server.

i have kept the pop3 limit in qmail to 400 which gets attained during peak
load times.

the server load goes very high ie around 200 - 300 during peak load times.
io wait is huge.

i tried by splitting the webmail users and pop3 users data in two separate
server using NFS but it created more problems of heavy server load, than
when all the users were in one server.

my servers are centos 5, dual core dual xeon 2.33 ghz with 100 mbps
connection between the servers plus 2 X 2 tb drives on each server.

my client's number of users is increasing but i am really lost on how to
expand 

any advice would be great ..

Hi,
  I use this to stop immediate attacks...

if [ `whoami` != root ]; then
echo

if [ `echo $1 |eval $is_ip` != 1 ]; then
echo $mdate Error in IP address $1
else
iptables -I INPUT -s $1 -j DROP
# echo out to rc file to start at reboot

quick and dirty but you can remove it when you like...

hope this helps...

Also use bfd (brute force detection) on pop/ssh/ftp as well. Automatically
stops attacks at 30 invalid login attempts from the same ip address.

[qmailtoaster] POP collect howto

2008-05-06 Thread Sergio Minini {NETKEY}
Hi list,
I am thinking of replacing a Win32 Mdaemon server with a QMT box, mainly to
benefit from spamdyke.
 
But I keep having second thoughts about an issue that I dont know how to solve:
 
In this Mdaemon server, I have a POPcollect thing set up, that checks a
catch-all account in an external server that acts as mx-backup, and then it
distributes the downloaded mail to the corresponding accounts. This is a
standard feature for Mdaemon.
 
The question is, how can I implement that in a QMT installation? I have no clue.
 
Thanks for your thoughts- Sergio

Sure.  fechmail was a program written for back in the old dial-up days - 
you would configure your system to dial up and have fetchmail grab your 
various email accounts and deliver them to the mail system on your local 
machine. It's grown into other areas and continues to solve issues like 
this from time to time.
Basically fetchmail will grab from any mailhost it can talk to (POP3, 
IMAP, etc.) which you configure using a config file (.fetchmailrc). 
Here's an edited example of one that I used to use to grab my wife's 
Rollins College email and deliver it to her account on my QMT machine 
before she graduated and we started paying back the loan:


set postmaster [EMAIL PROTECTED]
set syslog

poll gw.rollins.edu protocol imap authenticate password
   user her_rollins_username
   password her_rollins_password
   is her_qmt_username # leave off the @domain part
   smtpaddress v2gnu.com


that would log into her Rollins IMAP account, download any new messages 
and the deliver them to [EMAIL PROTECTED] when the fetmail 
command was called during a cron.
There are ways of running the incoming mail through a 
maildrop/mailfilter script but that was more than I needed for this 
simple application.
Hope that helps some.  Here's fetchmail's website 
(http://fetchmail.berlios.de/).

You just create it.

Then put in your config (use Jake's as a good example) then save and

fetchmail itself should be in the repos - just yum install fetchmail to 
get it. The .fetchmailrc file you have to create yourself.  There's a 
lot of how-tos out there showing how to create them. Just remember that 
if you create one and it doesn't work, it may just be because you have a 
newer version of fetchmail than what the author wrote the article for. 
fetchmail has gone through a couple config file changes in the last 
couple years as things are added.

[qmailtoaster] Qmailtoaster POP Problem

2008-02-19 Thread Hemang Arun Pandeet

Hi,

Firstly i would like to thank and applaud Erik and everyone else 
involved in making Qmailtoaster. It is indeed a fantastic product.


I need some help regarding QmailToaster. We have an installation with 
about 125 users using POP to download their mails in Thunderbird mail 
client. The same server is used to deliver about 2 mails per day to 
various subscribers too. Off late we have had a SEVERE problem where in 
while downloading mails via POP, we get an error message saying that 
Connection Timed Out after the message Downloading 1 of 100. The 
mechanism is behaving quite erratically since sometimes it works and 
sometimes it does not.


I and my tech guys have been trying to sort this out without any 
success. Can someone please help us regarding how to solve this problem.


Regards,
Hemang Arun Pandeet

The problem arises single at some moments of the day at other moments are no
problems

2007/7/24, Janno Sannik [EMAIL PROTECTED]:


way too few infomation to suggest anything.

have you tried telnetit to port 110 to your mailserver from computer you
have problems with?
have you tried disabling antivirus/firewall on that computer and tried
to pop?


Richard Lopez wrote:
 Maybe there is an error in my Qmailtoaster Server or an error in
 either a program or a service that's having a conflict with POP3.
 Maybe some configuration is missing because when the users try to
 download their mails from Outlook, it take a long time and then the
 following error appears:

 ..error Ox8004210A the operation timed out waiting for a response from
 the receiving (POP) server. If you continue to receive this error
contact
 your server administrator or ISP.

What is Outlooks response? Has the port been opened on the firewall? Is POP 
activated (webmail is using imap).

  WIll it be possible that Outlook gets timeout while downloading email / 
  waiting your server to reply? Try to increase the timeout period to, 
  say, 5 minutes and see if it works better.
  
  Have you tried to enter the IP address, instead of mail.domain.com,in Outlook? If 
  it works fine, then may be it's a problem of your DNS server.

[qmailtoaster] POP-TSL versus POP-SSL

2006-10-07 Thread Quinn Comendant
Is POP with STARTTLS not available with the Qmail Toaster? For me only 
POP over SSL using port 995 is working. I've read on this list that 
SMTP over SSL is depreciated in favor of SMTP over TSL. So why not POP 
over TLS?

Re: [qmailtoaster] POP-TSL versus POP-SSL

2006-10-07 Thread Erik Espinoza

Because SMTP over SSL never gained a foothold, and then SMTP w/ TLS
became a standard.


POP3/SSL and IMAP/SSL both became standards and are supported by most
clients. I don't know of too many clients that support IMAP/TLS or
POP3/TLS.

It can be supported, but there really hasn't been a need for it.

Title: Message



You 
need to enable authentication for 'Outgoing Server' settings. Users need to log 
in with username/password to outgoing SMTP server first, before they can send 
out mail. You may select to 'Use same settings as incoming mail 
server'.

The QmailToaster has pop and smtp by default. You just have to login
by using the full email address as the username. Instead of just
username, it has to be [EMAIL PROTECTED]
