For Outlook and Outlook express I user the email address

don't like '@' in the username - the same goes for Outlook Express on Mac.
So far I haven't seen anything that chokes on the precent sign.

Depends on what you mean by wasted. Nobody's worried about the mail
system being overloaded (bandwidth now becoming the limiting
factor). It keeps The Man off my back. IMHO, a small price to pay.

Of course, yes, it could be handled by a PII for now, but I'd still
rather have the quad Xeon with the redundant hardware goodies (and a
service contract) than an off-the-shelf PII, or even one built by my
own hands.

Granted, I'm not a sysadmin by profession, and I've only been using
qmail for ~4 months, but I've been running a similar system (aside
from the ReiserFS) under a similar load. From my limited experience,
and our record of loadaverages over the past 3.5 weeks, a load average
of 1.4 would indicate something out of the ordinary.

It's interesting that you're using ReiserFS.  Are you doing

At what rate are you able to inject messages into the queue

Um, no.  Even if you (incorrectly) express load average as a percentage of
processing capacity in use, a load average of 1.4 on a 4-way system would
still only indicate 35% of available capacity in use.

It is also very possible to achieve high load averages without using 100% of
your processor.  I've seen machines with one processor, that regularly have a 
load average over 2, and are only using 10-15% of the processor.

In other words, your quad Xeon is being wasted.  You could replace it with a
single Pentium II or Pentium III machine.

Mail delivery is typically not CPU bound.  You could probably add
another 4 CPUs and not see any significant improvement in throughput.
Mail delivery is pretty much 100% I/O bound.  And, with the way qmail
writes its queue files, it becomes mostly seek-time bound as well (due
to running many fsync's).

Not quite.  It means that, on average, 1.4 tasks were ready to run.  On
a 4 processor machine, that means that there were still two completely
idle CPUs.  A load average of 4 would mean all 4 CPUs are 100% busy.

But qmail doesn't "know" what the load on your machine is, or how 
many processors are available.  Scheduling of processes is controlled 
by the operating system, not the processes themselves.  There might 
be something wrong with the way your OS is set up.

There are things that you can do to "tune" a qmail installation, like 
setting concurrency remote.  IIRC they're covered by "Life with 
qmail".  Start at www.qmail.org.

Ok, the average of 1.4 was taken at the start of this discussion,
with great activity. The load average is now down to 0.7 and 
dropping.

My point was: qmail should interpret 25% of this load as the
capability of these computers are 4x what a normal computer
can handle with the same configuration in 1x.

I want mail delivery to go much faster, the computer can do
much better than this!!! I want the qmail-send program to deliver

I agree. I manage a similar system (quad Xeon, 1GB memory) with a

A slight correction there, the uptime program gives a load
average accumulating on each and every process. If five
processes want 100% processor time, you will get an
output from 'uptime' saying '5'.

An average of 1.4 is high, but absolutely not as high as
140% of your computer's resources!! ;)

1.4 might mean that I have 10 processes requesting 14%,
but that's not the same as a 140% processor load.

Yep. Just do it.

Running qmail on a 4x Xeon 550MHz system

2000-03-25 Thread Andreas Aardal Hanssen

Hello,

I'm currently administrating the mail delivery system on a
system as described in the subject, with 1GB of SDRAM and
100GB disk.

I'm using ReiserFS (which, BTW, is working very well). My
mailsystem receives 70'000 mails a day and the throughput
is just about twice that. Average mails sent per second
varies around 70-170 mails.

I wonder if qmail understands that I'm running a quad-
processor system, as it doesn't seem to deliver messages
faster when the queue builds up. When I run single-threaded
programs which use 100% of one processor, qmail will not
deliver mail!

Does anyone have any idea what could be the problem? The
disk IO is very low and my computer is *really* sleeping,
with a load average (uptime etc) of approx. 1.4..

Hope for an answer,


Andreas

qmail pop3 & outlook express (encoding problem)

2000-03-25 Thread Hong Taeki



Hi,
 
I am Redhat linux 6.1 user.
 
I'm trying to use qmail as pop3 server. 
 
And like many free mail services I wanted to insert 
footnote(banner, url so on) to mail.
 
With mailing list's answer I modified the qmail source 
and inserted the footnote.
 
After several tests, I found some problems. 
 
If the mail is written in plain text-case of using pine, there 
is no problem. 
 
If I use outlook express, I can choose content type(html, 
text) 
 
and encoding methods(base 64, quoted printable, 
7bits).
 
So when I choose 7bits, there is no problem.
 
But in other cases the footnotes is not recognizable or not 
seen.
 
(not recognizable: chose text and different encoding 
methods(except 7 bits)
 
 not seen: chose html )
 
I use Korean. Because Korean is 8 bits character, there are 
many problems(especially encoding).
 
How can I solve this problem?
 
According to the mail header, should I change the 
footnote?
 
Is there any methods or module to change the encoded 
content(7bits -> base 64 and so forth)?
 
Thank you...

Both of what? GNU users?

can you compile, link and run trivial programs?

echo "int main(void) { write(1,"hello world\n",12); exit(42); }" >x.c
gcc -o x x.c && ./x

Your development system may be seriously crippled.

This is how the alias mechanism is designed to work: 
mail gets delivered to alias (and fastforward) only if there is no
account for that address. In this case there is a listar account,
so /etc/aliases will not be used.
echo "|/home/listar/listar" >~listar/.qmail 
chown listar ~listar/.qmail

It's possible to get this behaviour through some hacks (FAQ 5.3 plus
serialmail, for example).
You can use "at" for that, too.

Try running

 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup qmail-popup juara.com /usr/sbin/logpopauth-pre \
 /bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir

Re: MX records changed, but mails still go through old mailserver...

Yes.
Your MX record for mail.buz.ch will only be used for mails to 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Mail for [EMAIL PROTECTED] is sent to the IP
address buz.ch (209.15.28.27), which happens to be identical to
the old MX for mail.buz.ch.

You need to add another MX record, this time for the buz.ch and
not for mail.buz.ch. In bind-speak:
buz.ch IN MX 10 mail.buz.ch

It might take some time until all name servers have learned about
this.

POP3 && sticky bit, IMHO

2000-03-25 Thread Russell Nelson

IMHO, qmail-pop3 should deny access to a Maildir if the home directory
it is stored in has the sticky bit set.  It's consistent with
qmail-local, which will refuse to deliver mail to such a home
directory.  I know, I know:

sh -c 'if test -k .; then qmail-pop3d Maildir; else qmail-pop3d /etc/skel/Maildir; fi '

Still, shouldn't that be included in qmail-pop3d?

Hi,

How can I add a header X-Deliver-To that has final destination of the 
email.  The reason I need to do this is because the To or CC header is not 
enough information for a program to deliver the mail correctly.

The domain in question I need to do this with is a "Virtual Domain" setup 
in qmail.  To some extent this already exists in the header Delivered-To, 
the only problem is it looks like the following:

  Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you can remove the virtual username and dash and put this into the 
X-Deliver-To header this would slove the problem in a stroke.

Thanks,
Chris

We've done that with the development version of vpopmail 3.4.12.
Instead of a header that has: virtualdomain-user@virtualdomain
It puts user@virtualdomain

Hi,
Is it posible to inject a message, but that the qmail does not try to
send it until within two days, for example?

Thanks,
Eduardo





Thanks for all your help. It all seemed to be working.
But for some reason if you generate email from the machine it gets sent. But
any email that come from another machine just seems to vanish. How can I
trace the email from the time it get recived till the time it should have
been sent out to the internet.

Could you or someone on the list send me in the rite direction for the info
or give me some help. Thanks.


Sorry to be a novice at MTA's but just begining at MTA's I can do most other
things needed.

Hi there

I have a situation with my new (qmail & ldap) and old (post.office)
systems. The old system holds the bulk of the mailboxes. I need some
suggestions for the following :

1) I need to be able to hand (proxy?) connections to the post.office
system if a lookup in the ldap/qmail system returns that the mailbox is
not local to that box. The proviso for this is that the envelope must
remain unmodified.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
