I have a patch for deamontools-0.70 that creates a new executable
called tai64nunix. It takes TAI64 timestamps and converts them to unix
epaoch time, suitable for qmailanalog. Russ Allebury has a similar
patch.
Here is another variation on the theme. It is designed to run on raw
(possibly gzipped) daemontools-0.70 logs, so it is not directly
applicable for Kins.
The script should be run once a day by cron. It mails the results of
'zoverall' to the user 'admin'.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my $logdir = '/var/log/qmail-send';
chdir $logdir or die "Can't chdir to $logdir: $!\n";
open(OUT, "|matchup 5.pending.n|zoverall|/var/qmail/bin/mailsubj 'Mail statistics'
admin") or
die("Can't pipe to matchup: $!\n");
opendir(D, '.') or die "Can't open $logdir: $!\n";
my @logs = sort grep /^(?:@|current)/, readdir(D);
closedir(D);
my $tai64n_yesterday = sprintf "\@4000%08x", $^T - 86400;
while (@logs 1) {
last if $logs[1] gt $tai64n_yesterday;
shift @logs;
}
unshift @logs, '.pending' if -r '.pending';
foreach my $f (@logs) {
$f =~ s/(.*\.gz)$/gzip -cdq 2\/dev\/null $1|/;

printf OUT "%.6f%s", tai64n($1), $_;
}
close(IN);
}
close(OUT);
rename '.pending.n', '.pending';
# Simplistic tai64n converter. Returns float time_t value or undef.
sub tai64n {

It does not really matter. The bandwidth requirements are about the same. POP has overhead, a few hundred bytes per connection, and so has SMTP. If you _really_ need to preserve bandwidth and if you have compressible messages (most attachments are not), and if you don't mind a bit of hacking a bit, then you might want to use serialmail/ucspi-tcp over a compressed SSH connection.

local delivery for 1 user only
I find it amazing what corp enviroments ask IT to do instead of confronting a user on specific issues, but I was told to look into it.

Best mailling format for large attachments
I have a client that is very unwisely using his email server as a sort of FTP server where people are sending him very large attachments. His mailbox size is about 250 megabytes and he receives emails daily that are about 10 - 25 megabytes big (I told him not to do this and to simply use FTP, but he insists on doing everything through email). Anyway, the system is slow and he is getting timeout errors left and right. I am currently using the mbox format, but was wondering if there are better formats out there (maildir?) for email servers with a low number of emails, but high attachment size.

Certainly Maildir with qmail-pop3d will help here, though it should be noted that many clients don't cope well if a download exceeds a certain time such as the time between mailbox checks.

Problems using qmail on very large site
Hi everybody, I installed qmail (v. 1.03 running on Solaris 2.6 for x86 - JUST ! (without any patches)) with tcpwrapper ucspi-0.88 and multilog from daemontools package (v. 0.70) all them compiled with gcc 2.95.2 running in 4 machines PIII - 500Mhz with 256mb RAM. In my DNS I have smtp.ig.com.br pointing to IPs addresses of that four machines trying to make some kind of load balance (Probably soon I will replace this by IPVS or something like that (Altheon, etc). The total amount of messages that are sent through those machines are aprox. 1.5 million by day (!) . I have set remote and local concurrency to 255 (and I change the limit in conf-spawn to 255 and recompiled qmail after that). My tcpwrapper is configured to 400 simultaneous smtp connections (per machine). The remote and localconcurrency stay between 30-150 connections so, I think that 255 limit isn't problem by now (Maybe in future I will need to install the patch to concurrency above 400). Memory and wait I/O isn't the problem. The number of file descriptors are ok (2048) now (Now I don't receive messages tell me that was not possible to open a pipe (or something like that)). The problem is the fact that I'm having too much defunct process. Usually I have between 350-500 process running by machine. From that, normally I have between 90-120 defunct process per machine. Anybody have ANY idea about what can be causing this ? Is there any patch to correct this problem, in case of this be a well know problem for my plataform ? PS. multilog and tcpwrapper are in PATH and this problem NOT started after I reboot my machines ;-) Any help will be very appreciated . Thanks in advance...

Re: local delivery for 1 user only
What you're asking is not very difficult -- especially if you use tcpservers. First however, it's important to note what your current network looks like. In the case of a local network that's firewalled to the internet, you can simply use RELAYCLIENT= and a shellscript . simply change your smtp server to call a shell script instead of qmail-smtpd; this shell script should look something like this: #!/bin/sh if [ "$TCPREMOTEADDR" = "192.168.0.5" ]; then qq="" else qq="env RELAYCLIENT=" fi exec $qq /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd then make sure that /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts only contains your local domains. if however, you use a server that's on a public network, you must also limit the appropriate ip addresses. the shell script above should make it easy to do the trick. finally, if bychance the ip addresses aren't known however, you'll be in a bit more trouble...

RE: local delivery for 1 user only
Rumor has it that Gregory J. Forkin may have mentioned these words:
Tim--
I have a suggestion for you. But first, I think that you should look at the
real implications of the request, that is if this starts for one employee
you can be sure there will be others.
I agree with Gregory on being aware of the implications, and what I have to
suggest may not be pretty either, but here goes:
*If* this person has a static IP address, and you're using tcpserver, you
can log all outbound mail from his IP address, so at least you'll have
proof of "email-infidelity"...
I will *not* go into the illegalities of hijacking someone's outbound email
in this manner. let the PHB's get in trouble for that. I'm just letting
you know it's possible.
Add a line to the /etc/tcp.smtp file, like this:
xx.xx.xx.xx:allow,RELAYCLIENT="pookie"
where xx.xx.xx.xx is the person's static IP address, then in
/var/qmail/control/virtualdomains, put in this line:
pookie:alias-pookie
then make the file /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-pookie-default which contains:
|/var/qmail/alias/logeverything.pl
where logeverything.pl is a perl script that logs all messages to a file,
here's my quickdirty, but it may help for starters...
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
# This is a quick test program to see if the selective mail routing will work.
# Open a file to store all of the environment variables,
open (Q,"/var/qmail/alias/pookie-logger.txt");
# go thru each environment variable and write them to my logfile...
foreach $quack ( sort(keys(%ENV))) {
print Q "ENV - $quack = $ENV{$quack}\n";
}
print Q "\n\n";
# open a mail to re-mail everything that comes in to my real mail account...
open (MAIL,"|/var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject $ENV{'EXT2'}");
open (MAIL2,"|/var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject mail\@me.too");
@zline = STDIN;
foreach $liner (@zline) {
print MAIL "$liner";
print MAIL2 "$liner";
# and also send a copy of the mail to the logfile that I have.
print Q "OrgMail: $liner";
}
# Shut 'er down, boys!!! ;-)
close (Q);
close (MAIL);
close (MAIL2);

This proggie will output some extra info to the logfile, like the
environment variables - it's good for a beginner so s/he can find out what
the ENV variables look like, what to expect for parameters, etc...

You've already run the logs through tai64nlocal. That converts the

tai64nunix) and it will generate timestamps suitable for qmailanalog.
Now, I'm really confused.

qmail - accustamp - tailocal

works fine in this case?
And another question:
We've been running qmail awhile, so we have a some amount of logs (with
converted from TAI64 to Local timestamps), so my original question was how
can I convert local timestamps to TAI64?
I've wrote a small awk-script to accomplish this, but it doesn't work with
big files on my machine (more then 440-445 lines), and I can't figure out
why (if someone has suggestions/recommendations, please, let me know):
cut here--
#!/bin/awk -f
BEGIN {
ACCUSTAMP="/usr/local/bin/accustamp"
ECHO="/bin/echo"
}
{
LOCAL= $1 " " $2
ECHO " \"" LOCAL "\" | " ACCUSTAMP | getline TAI
sub(/ .+/, "", TAI)
$1=TAI
$2=""
sub(/ +/, " ")
print
}
--cut here
This script does the trick for me. Again, originally I was for such kind
of program/script which works fine with any size of input.
Thanks.

On Wed, 3 May 2000, Kins Orekhov wrote: You've already run the logs through tai64nlocal. That converts the TAI64 timestamp into human readable form. Don't do that. Leave the multilog output alone and then run it through tai64nfrac (or tai64nunix) and it will generate timestamps suitable for qmailanalog. Now, I'm really confused. Here's the path that logs go thru on my machine: qmail - accustamp - tailocal accustamp ALREADY gives you timestamps suitable for qmailanalog, as you state below. accustamp has been superceded by multilog which gives timestamps in tai64 format. If, AND ONLY IF, you are using multilog, THEN you need tai64nfrac (or tai64nunix) to transform the timestamps into a format suitable for qmailanalog.

RE: Does Qmail handle mbx
mbx is the name of a format that UW-IMAP supports. It's an all-messages-in-one-file database format file. It's not as ugly as mbox where all the messages are concatenated together (which requires so much re-organization when doing IMAP access), but the file is really a kind of database with the messages and some binary glop. qmail does not have native mbx support. However, grab the imap-utils package (from the same place as uw-imap) and drop the dmail program in your .qmail file to deliver to your mbx mailbox. See "man dmail" for more information. - David Harris Principal Engineer, DRH Internet Inc. -Original Message- From: Bob Rogers [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, May 03, 2000 9:05 PM To: Steve Quezadas Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject:Does Qmail handle mbx From: "Steve Quezadas" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wed, 3 May 2000 16:26:07 -0700 Any way to get qmail to handle mbx format? - Steve If this is "mbox" format, it's trivial (see "man dot-qmail").

Mental torture
hi folks, I've installed qMail for my office server and it runs fine - delivers mails and all that jazz. However, I'm getting only external mails out, and internal mails to users' mailboxes seem to die. Using /var/qmail/bin/makemaildir, I created a Maildir for myself in my home dir /home/isaiah. Mails do go there, but when I try to check my emails using POP3, nothing comes in. I've got this line in my /etc/inetd.conf pop-3 stream tcp nowait qmaild /usr/sbin/tcpd /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Is that correct? Or should I use pop-3 stream tcp nowait qmaild /usr/sbin/tcpd /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup mail.mydomainname.com /bin/checkpasswd pwd The fist one gives me the error The server responded with an error. Account: 'mail.twc-sg.com', Server: 'mail.twc-sg.com', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR this user has no $HOME/Maildir', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC90 while the second one doesn't authenticate me at all and throws me out with a bad authentication message even though the password is correct. Can anyone help? Everyone in the office is throwing bricks at me now for missing their emails... Thanks! Best regards, Isaiah ChuaOfficial Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]AIM Nick : radar00
No retry and no bounce?
Hi, How can I setup email to ignore all messages that cannot be delivered, i.e., even not to bother the re-delievery and bounce? Thank you for help. Sincerely, Peter Li
Re: No retry and no bounce?
I suppose you could set queuelifetime to 1 second. This will fail permanently if delivery fails on the second delivery (or possibly the first, depending on how busy your machine is.) If you want to kill every email on the first deferral you will need to write a patch. --Adam On Wed, May 03, 2000 at 09:09:57PM -0400, Yuan P Li wrote: Hi, How can I setup email to ignore all messages that cannot be delivered, i.e., even not to bother the re-delievery and bounce?

It should use root as the user. checkpasswd is spelled incorrectly (should be checkpassword) and the Maildir argument doesn't look correct. What is the name of the Maildir you have created. The above line assumes it is "pwd". IE did you create the Maildir using the command /var/qmail/bin/maildirmake ~/pwd Proably not.

This is covered in the FAQ that shups with qmail, question 5.3. You should also consider using tcpserver (from Dan's ucspi-tcp package http:/cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp.html) instead of inetd.

Re: Problems using qmail on very large site
The problem is the fact that I'm having too much defunct process. Usually I have between 350-500 process running by machine. From that, normally I have between 90-120 defunct process per machine. Do they stay forever, or do they go away? Which qmail process is the parent? I have seen Solaris 2.x systems where processes do stay around forever, but I have not seen in on, eg, FreeBSD. Regards.

Re: what does this mean in my logfile?
It means it has the execute bit set. If you do chmod 600 .qmail-whatever it will probably be fine That will make the file readable and writeable by it's owner, with no permissions for anyone else. You may want to find a reference on basic unix file system permissions. jason Anyone knows what this means and if there's any corrective action I should take?
