User Mail size
Hi, How can I restrict the incoming mail size for each user before smtp handshake. I have managed to get the .qmail-toolarge file working perfectly. But it works only after smtp handshake, which is not very useful for larger mail servers. Any suggestion or documention or patch where I can look for this sytem. Thank you. KK

Re: Hotmail (insanity check)
The right answer is to firewall all incoming and outgoing mail from
Hotmail, until they fix their mail server to comply with RFC 821.
Unfortunately, it's not my local server, it's a client's.
Is this too insane? I liked it better than some RELAYCLIENT =
"@hotmail-fixup" in tcprules as that causes every message to be handled,
logged twice, etc.
Here's my end run of qmail and hotmail to handle this:
control/virtualdomains:
hotmail.com:alias-hotmail
alias/.qmail-hotmail-default:
# this bounces messages that are too big for buggy hotmail servers
|/var/qmail/bin/bounceonfilesize
# slight-of-hand to name service hotmail.com looks up to hotmail.com.
# but apparently not in virtual domains, which actually is cool for us
# doesn't affect incoming smtp stuff, only local outgoing, which is
# perfect
|/var/qmail/bin/forward "$DEFAULT"@hotmail.com.
bounceonfilesize.c:
#include sys/types.h
#include sys/stat.h
#include stdlib.h
#include string.h
#define die(str,code) { puts( str ) ; exit( code ) ; }
#define HOTMAILSIZELIMIT 1048576
extern int errno;
int main(void) {
struct stat sb ;
if ( fstat( 0, sb ) != 0 )
die( strerror(errno), 111 ) ;
if ( ! (sb.st_mode S_IFREG) )
die( "stdin is not attached to a regular file", 111 ) ;
if ( sb.st_size = HOTMAILSIZELIMIT )
die( "This message exceeds hotmail.com limits.", 100 ) ;

qmail-send won't log anymore
I upgraded my FreeBSD box, and installed the latest version of qmail. For some reason, qmail-send won't log in my /var/log/maillog file. So, any incoming email logs fine, but for some reason any SMTP traffic does not show up in the log (it used to before!). What am I doing wrong ? Thanks for your help in advance!

smrsh/preventing users running programs in qmail dotfiles.
Hi. I've only recently started using qmail. I've been looking for a way to stop users running programs in their .qmail files, or preferably to just allow them to run certain programs, like you can do with smrsh from sendmail. Is this possible or should I just hack the qmail source to use smrsh instead of /bin/sh?

Is this possible or should I just hack the qmail source to use smrsh instead of /bin/sh? If you want them only to do forwards, not execute or mbox or maildir, you can set the execute bit on the .qmail files. You have to screw with ownerships, too. Soungs like smrsh might be a better answer. Assuming it isn't a security risk itself. Monte
RE: Performance?!
I noticed from my experience that when you inject mail too fast on one qmail instance, you can bring qmail to a seemingly halt, your concurrency can go down from 200+ to just 5 or 6 after a few minuates, your mile may vary. I suggest you to use multiple instances (N) and inject mail from 1 to N in sequence. I found the result is incredible. dp -Original Message- From: Ekker, Heinz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, December 10, 1999 7:55 AM To: Qmail (E-Mail) Subject: Performance?! Hi! When playing around with qmail I couldn't avoid noticing that I only reach a poor performance. My tests run with some Perl-Scripts that send randomly sized messages to random users via smtp. The message sizes average to ~100k. When I first tested it, I used alias-expansion with the fastforward-package, and to be honest, I was quite surprised to find that qmail could - on a Pentium III 500 with 512 Megs RAM and a 19GB Level 1-RAID running RedHat, 2.2.13 with fd-patch - deliver only about 2 messages per second. The Queue kept filling up, and half of the messages were not preprocessed. Only when I let go of fastforward, I reached ~200 messages per minute and 17-18 MB of throughput, which still seems very little. At least the preprocessing seemed to work now. The CPU idles with 70, 80 %, there's plenty of RAM left. The local concurrency never ever rises above 5. I did my homework and dug through the archives of this mailing list, but the only suggestions I found were (hopefully a joke) to take out the fsyncs (which, BTW, didn't bring any increase) and people telling what good performance they get with qmail(15, 20 messages per second? Still more? With a lot less investment in hardware?). Have you any suggestions for me on which type of hardware I should set up qmail to reach similar results? We plan to move a medium site to qmail, and I know there are severall still bigger ones running this mailserver. Thanks in advance, Heinz
