For your problems 1) and 2) below: 1) You can forward goonda.org accounts anywhere you want - create .qmail files in ~vpopmail/domains/goonda.org of the form .qmail-userid 2) You have to use [EMAIL PROTECTED] (or userid%goonda.org) as the POP user, unless you set up goonda.org as your default domain, like this (from vpopmail's FAQ, question #0): rm ~vpopmail/users ln -s ~vpopmail/domains/goonda.org ~vpopmail/users As to your other questions: - vchkpw logs to syslog (only!?), which can be a real PITA - I don't know sendmail, and don't want to know sendmail! grier anindya wrote: > > Hi folks, > > I know what I am trying to do is straightforward, but > I have failed to find any documentation that explains this clearly. > Here is my setup: > > qmail 1.03 > vpopmail 3.4.11 > FreeBSD 3.4 > > The host's actual name is mail.goonda.org, and I have virtual > domain goonda.net.

Redundant email system delivery synchronization question
Greetings. I've been trying to plan out a hypothetical redundant email system, where email loss cannot occur if any single computer fails anywhere in the delivery or mailbox access process, and duplicated email is minimized. In this system, email is initially stamped with a unique ID and delivered to two or more qmail queues. I know how to deliver local email without causing duplicates (under normal conditions). How would I deliver remote email without duplicating it? That is, how could I synchronize the remote delivery of two qmail queues? I suppose one option is to build a new qmail-remote front end that does the synchronization before and after executing the real qmail-remote program. This seems like somewhat of a hack, though. Can anybody else think of a better solution? I will post a summary of my planned system on my web page once I've gotten it all figured out. -- Bruce Guenter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://em.ca/~bruceg/
2nd qmail-server
hi all, i have a qmail-server, which handles mails for a small company. i would like to setup a second mail-server, with an MX record with lower priority as the first one, so that if the first fails, the second one will receive the mails. after the first one is alife again, the second one should deliver him the received mails. how could i implement the second server? any comments, RTFM's are welcome. jan
Re: Spam, orbs, maps
You'll want to look at maildrop. There may be a way to do this with your .qmail files alone, but I haven't seen it. Maildrop's at http://www.flounder.net/~mrsam/maildrop/ It replaces qmail's own delivery agent and allows filtering of the message before delivery. The filtering language is pretty straightforward.. jon At 12:48 PM -0400 3/11/00, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >Is there a patch or a script that can be used >to filter by per user ?

Put the domain(s) you're secondary for into rcpthosts. Do NOT put them in locals or virtualdomains. Don't forget that lower number at MX is higher priority.

ALRM signal and the queue
Hello, I am running qmail under tcp server with the following command line: tcpserver -R -x/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c400 -uUID -gGID 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd User have been complaining about not recieving their mail. When I run 'qmail-qread | wc -l' I can see there are 440 messages in the queue. Some of them are five days old. I have sent the qmail-send program an ALRM signal(kill -14.) a handfule of times over the morning and the size of the queue seems to be the same. How can I process the queue since the ALRM signal doesn't seem to be working? How can I track down the cause of this problem. Thanks again in advance.

That's all fine for receiving e-mails when the primary is down -- but what if the server is running, say, IMAP, and users want to retrieve their mail? What if the secondary receives a bunch of mail and then the primary comes back up? Will users still be able to see the mail that the secondary server received? DNS will point them to the primary, but the mail is still sitting on the secondary. If there's something I've missed here I'd be happy if someone pointed it out. Cheers, Stephen Bosch

If you think about secondary to be a full mail server (with mailboxes and all that) which takes over also POP3 and IMAP during outages, it's not trivial to do (and usually not worth the effort; a redundant cluster or inteligent switch is better then). -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: PGP 6.0.2 -- QDPGP 2.60 Comment: http://community.wow.net/grt/qdpgp.html iQA/AwUBOM0iI1MwP8g7qbw/EQKEqQCg9z96+/owia4lE9A1bemWXbaKRW8AoMCJ fIrxrcp3lLiN9/GpccZTxWMD =mlED -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- Petr Novotny, ANTEK CS [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.antek.cz PGP key ID: 0x3BA9BC3F -- Don't you know there ain't no devil there's just God when he's drunk.

Okay -- what you're saying is that the secondary will pass on the mail to the primary once it's back up? *sound of gears grinding* We put the primary in the rcpthosts of the secondary so that the secondary will accept mail addressed to the primary, but we don't put it in control/locals because we want to prevent the secondary from attempting to deliver locally (which wouldn't work because we don't have users configured locally, nor a delivery agent like POP3 or IMAP). All right -- what's the mechanism by which this received mail is passed on to the primary when it becomes operational again? Does this mail sit parked in a mail queue? Which queue?

The usual /var/qmail/queue on the secondary. The secondary tries to deliver the mail from time to time (there's a quadratic backoff algorithm - the retries are more frequent at first and then slow down), and it keeps a cache of "connection outcomes"; it remembers that primary is down. To clear the cache of "this host times out" information, you run qmail-tcpok. To make all the mails retry, you ALRM qmail-send. If you do the latter and not the former, qmail will used the cached information "primary was down". If you don't do anything, the mails from secondary will eventually get delivered too, as the retry schedule permits.

Don't use | -- that tries to execute the rest of the line with "sh -c", which as you see breaks when you try to execute /dev/null The quickest way to drop mail is to create a .qmail file with only an empty comment, i.e. containing only a '#' character. -- Chris Mikkelson | Slashdot: because a million lemmings can't [EMAIL PROTECTED] | be wrong.

As already noted, a .qmail file containing a single '#' is the most efficient way...however, you may want to know why the above failed. You're trying to pipe to /dev/null; but /dev/null isn't executable.

Simply place a comment line and only a comment line in the relevant .qmail file. On Mon, 13 Mar 2000 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > I'd like to have certain addresses 'eat' email (ie. just discard it).

Re: Spam, orbs, maps
Hi, I'm just curious about other people's opinions on which solution is best. Maildrop seems cool, but it's interesting to note that it doesn't recieve a mention on qmail's home page. Procmail doesn't even support qmail natively (although it looks like they're working on it) and it's mentioned twice. Please excuse my ignorance, I'm just very new to all of this and would like to know what others have found. Sincerely, Pete...

RE: AOL Problem - Looked in archive ....
Why not an attempt to contact AOL, everything looks to be in order. AOL accepts the mail, whatever they do with it from there is their responsibility not yours. Apparently not even a feeble attempt to contact AOL has been made, yet this is one of many post I have seen here, most of which replied AOL accepted the mail. This is not a qmail problem as it shows right now. Possibly an attempt to send mail to postmaster or support @AOL will get you somewhere. If a user is bugging you about the problem, show them the log where AOL accepts the message, have them write an additional complaint to AOL. Personally I have not heard any complaints from any of my users, but I have a relatively small user base.

maildir/imap
I'd like to be able to allow our customers the ability to check their mail via the web while they're on the road and still be able to use POP3 for normal use. I know there are many implementations out there to make maildir/imap cooperate, but it seems they all do it differently. Basically, it is important that if a user leave messages on the server with their POP account, it doesn't confuse IMAP, and if possible I'd like to avoid creating separate synchronized imap and maildir folders for the obvious reasons. Has anyone done this? What did you use to implement it? Also, what would you recommend be taken into consideration when laying out maildirs and imap folders? Thanks in advance!

Logs accesible via web
Hello. Now that I have my server more finished I would like to know what do I have to use to log how many e-mails my system sends, receives, which user uses more the e-mails... What program do I have to use for this? Is it possible to access all this information through a web interface (as for logs from http servers, ftp servers, news servers...)? Thanks.
Re: Logs accesible via web
qmailanalog does a good job of logging what the qmail system does. as for putting them on the web..you could have a weekly cron job copy the processed logs to some web accessable directory. - Original Message - From: "Andrés" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, March 13, 2000 5:55 PM Subject: Logs accesible via web > Hello. > > Now that I have my server more finished I would like to know what do I have > to use to log how many e-mails my system sends, receives, which user uses > more the e-mails... > > What program do I have to use for this? > Is it possible to access all this information through a web interface (as > for logs from http servers, ftp servers, news servers...)? > > Thanks. >
procmail vs. maildrop
Hi, I'm just trolling for your opinion on which solution is the best match with qmail. Procmail 3.14 is said to be maildir compliant, yet on: http://www.procmail.org/todo.html you will find that they're admittedly still not totally up-to-date. http://www.root.cz/ has a review of the two, unfortunately I cant read Czech.
