Re: QMail Performance Question Miscellaneous Issues
Another allows increasing the maximum number of concurrent remotes beyond 250. The patch allows up to 500 but that limit seems to be linux related. I would imagine that to be because Linux by default only allows 1024 file handles to be open at once. If each of the qmail-remotes has a message in the queue open, then having too many can cause "bad things", as we found when we needed to run a few hundred extra virtual domains on our web server, and the same thing happened. Despite the docs at RedHat.com, saying how easy it is to increase the file-handle limit on the new kernels, I found that it simply didn't work. Editing the source and recompiling the kernel (as you had to in older kernels) did the trick. It's not even that hard, that was the first time I had ever fiddled with the Kernel source. We went to 4096, which should allow for quite a few qmail-remotes. : ) steve

Suggestion:
Edit the script. Look for any and all references to files and file paths.
Verify each of these paths really exist. Chances are the init script is
looking in the wrong place for a qmail related file. Find out where the
target files *really* are on your system and edit the init file to point to
them.

Hi,
I have followed the doc from "life with qmail" to install my qmail

stating that "execup : directory not found[failed]. I have placed

I think this is your problem. Try making the group 'qmail'.
If that doesn't help, try the following patch:
Between the lines

tie %array, 'DB_File', "$db_filename.db", O_RDONLY, 0600 ||
tempfail("cannot open $db_filename - $!");
foreach $file (@allfiles) {

insert the following statement
debug("perlscanner-test: " . join ("\n",keys %array));
and check the logs as to whether there are any virii file names after the
string perlscanner-test .

Which version of Qmail to use?
After 4 days of not being able to get Qmail working properly for me, I've decided to completely wipe *every* trace of sendmail and *every* trace of qmail on my system (Mandrake 7.02).. then install Qmail from scratch all over again using "life with Qmail" suggestions. I've noticed there is a version of Qmail called var-qmail-1.03-2-gnu-linux-i686 and another version just called qmail-1.03.tar.gz Which one do I use for Mandrake 7.02? I was able to get the var-qmail one to work only halfway (Can send but not receive), and when I tried installing the regular qmail, I couldn't send OR receive.

Re: Unable to Telnet
I can now use qmail's smtpd, but I have to manually start svscan by `cd /var/qmail/svscan; /usr/local/bin/svscan ` (I used /var/qmail instead of /service), with the help of scripts from "live with qmail", qmail get started by svscan, then I use `/etc/init.d/qmail stop`, then `tcpserver -x/usr/local/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -u103 -g102 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd `, then `/etc/init.d/qmail start`, at last I find qmail all working ok. But the problem comes when I make some changes to qmail's configuration, then I have to stop svscan, stop qmail, stop tcpserver, and start over manually again. I know there must be a much cleverer way to start and stop this set of things. I also don't know how to start up svscan as the server starts up, I applied scripts from "live with qmail" to /etc/rc2.d/S79svscan, but the server complains that it has no permission to access some supervision files.

ORBS prevention
I am at the point of setting up my qmail-server as the mail-hub for my organization. I have only used qmail for testing purposes so far and I am not experienced with anti-spam techniques. Now that I want to use my qmail-server in real life, there are many other issues involved--like preventing my qmail server from being put on the ORBS database. I have referred to the archives, however, there is much heated discussion without much pratical detail. Pleae let me know what I need to do for ORBS prevention and any other configuration details necessary for a secure, anti-spam mail-hub. Thankyou in advance, Kristina

Help with virtual domains
hi folks, My qmail is currently running well for my company's email addresses. However, I need to setup some mailboxes that will cater for staff of our sister company, and I'm having problems with the virtual domains in qmail. My company's domain is abc.com (for e.g.), and they have some users on our system, e.g. johndoe. Now johndoe should only send mail out as [EMAIL PROTECTED], and should receive mails at the same address. It should not be a local delivery as the mails for this domain are in fact forwarded from their HQ in Hongkong. I've read up the docs for virtual hosts and it still doesn't seem to help. Changes I've made always point me back to error messages indicating no user exists or cannot accept domain. What am I doing wrong? Regards, Isaiah Chua

deletion of large queue.
Qmailers, Today i got into work to be faced with a local queue of 17000 odd messages. We were spammed by an american company who offered cheap university diploma's. Anyhow.. this is what i did to remove the messages and was wondering if anyone has a better alternative: 1. killed qmail-send 2. found out that the spam message contained "UNIVERSITY DIPLOMA" somewhere within the mail 3. went into /var/local/queue/mess and did a grep on all files for "UNIVERSITY DIPLOMA" 4. piped these to /tmp/messagenumbers which contained a list of 17000 odd message id numbers of spammed mail 5. opened up three terminals to machine running qmail, one in /var/qmail/queue/info, one in /var/qmail/queue/local and one in /var/qmail/queue/mess and wrote a for loop to remove all the files that were in the /tmp/messagenumbers file 6. restarted qmail-send and everything was okay again, queue was back down to a couple of hundred mails which were cleared in 10 minutes or so I originally tried using the qmhandle.cgi script that is floating around.. that works fine, however looking at the cgi it is obvious it takes time to decide whether the mail is local or remote... and seeing as i knew these were all in the local queue, i didn't have that time, i just had to remove the mails myself. Can anyone see if there is anything i've done wrong here? Regards, Marc-Adrian Napoli Network Administrator Connect Infobahn Australia +61 2 9281 1750

I've noticed there is a version of Qmail called var-qmail-1.03-2-gnu-linux-i686 and another version just called qmail-1.03.tar.gz Which one do I use for Mandrake 7.02? I was able to get the var-qmail one to work only halfway (Can send but not receive), and when I tried installing the regular qmail, I couldn't send OR receive. After I wipe every trace of qmail and sendmail from my system, which version will be the best for me to use? qmail-1.03.tar.gz is the source tarball. If you use this file and follow the directions either in LWQ or the installation document INSTALL that you'll find in the source tarball, you should be up and running in no time at all.

restarting qmail quickly
Hi, I'm trying to write some scripts, and my script add lines to smtproutes, I believe qmail must be restarted when you do this, yes? When I run the rc script with the 'stop' option, it seems to take AGES giving me stuff like this: last qmail log line [957788665.031323 status: local 0/80 remote 6/100 exitasap - local] - sleeping 1 last qmail log line [957788807.634725 warning: trouble injecting bounce message, will try later - trouble] - sleeping 1 I'm sure its just trying to do things cleanly, but I can't wait 5 minutes to restart my mail software in my script. Is there anything better I can do? Any advice will be appreciated. Tim.

This does raise the question of some sort of crowbar functionality in one's qmail relay servers, such that you're actually accomplishing anything by forcing them to relay rather than going straight out from the dialup pool; you'd need to ID your user, probably by consulting your RADIUS server, track RCPTs/user/hour, share that data among multiple redundant relay servers, and be able to shunt the user's outbound mail into a holding tank when it goes over the volume threshold and alert a human admin. -- Anthony DeBoer [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: QMail Performance Question Miscellaneous Issues
It's not even that hard, that was the first time I had ever fiddled with the Kernel source. We went to 4096, which should allow for quite a few qmail-remotes. : ) Do you have any feel for how to evaluate what is an optimum number of remotes? At 400 remotes I still have 80% CPU idle time. The load average is around 4. This suggests to me that the system is limited by disk I/O, network I/O or the responsiveness of remote servers. If it is Disk I/O more remotes won't help. I track network traffic through our router fairly closely and don't think that is the bottle neck. If it is the responsiveness of remote servers then more remotes will help.

Re: QMail Performance Question Miscellaneous Issues
The documentation of RedHat.com is technically accurate, just not complete. There are two limits. One is the total number of files handles for all processes. This is adjustable through /proc/sys/fs/file-max. The other limit is the number of file handles opened by a single process. This is dynamic in the newer kernels. You are probably running into a resource limit. Try: ulimit -n I just opened 2000 files after using "ulimit -n 2048" (the default was 1024). No recompile was required. Ah. In this case, the number of files that a user can have open (1024) was the same as the total number of files that the entire system could have - I imagine that raising user files above total system files doesn't do much good. : ) steve

RE: Future of qmail: will it care about viri/worms/etc?
However, since this was 12 hours after the initial attack, it was a reasonable response. My first server-based filter was a subject filter, meant to stem the tide while I developed something a little better. Turns out "something better" was easily implemented, but nowhere near as easy as the 3 min or so it took to write the procmail subject filter. So, as a stopgap measure, subject filters are fine. But long term (I guess anything more than 24 hours) it is a poor substitute.

As always, there is a bottleneck. I like to see everything on an email system as a set of queues. While some are tangible, such as the physical mail queue, some are less so, such as the queue of I/O requests to the disks, the queue of packets coming in and out of the interface, the queue of processes to be run, the receiving servers at the other end, etc. It is very rarely the case that all of these queues are in perfect balance such that they all fill up and degrade at the same rate. Consequently there has to be a slowest queue. That's your current bottleneck. the slowest of those queues is going to be your current bottleneck. You fix that, then the next slowest queue becomes your bottleneck. Keep fixing until the first bottleneck comes around again, and you start the whole process over. As you say, in your case the bottleneck may well be disk or network I/O or even a queue at the other end, namely the remote servers. If you have good connectivity and a diverse range of recipients and a large concurrencyremote, then it's probably not the remote servers. But there's only one way to find out. Analyze each queue and find out where it's currently at in terms of utilization. Start tuning the queue with the highest utilization and you'll probably see improvements. Regards.

Lowercasing non-ASCII chars?
Hi, I'm wondering if qmail will also lowercase the non-ASCII (or, "high ASCII", 8bit) characters in local email addresses? For example, if I create ~alias/.qmail-mikko:hänninen, will this catch both mikko.hänninen@myserver and MIKKO.HÄNNINEN@myserver, or do I need to have two .qmail files? I looked in the man pages, but the only reference I could find to lowercasing was in dot-qmail, which said simply that qmail will convert upper case letters to lower case. And yes, I know it's not a good idea to use 8bit characters in the email addresses. I'm not planning to use these addresses except as a safety catch in case someone happens to use them by accident...

You will need two. This is the exact code:
while (x = *s) {
x -= 'A';
if (x = 'Z' - 'A') *s = x + 'a';
++s;
}
(there is another version for fixed-length strings, which does the same
conversion).
This code only converts A-Z to a-z, all else is left alone.
I looked in the man pages, but the only reference I could find to
lowercasing was in dot-qmail, which said simply that qmail will convert
upper case letters to lower case.
Yeah well since it doesn't support LOCALE 'n stuff, it can't now which
characters are special in your country.
Oh, and Breyten says hi :)

Re: Which version of Qmail to use?
Tony Wade [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Best to use the source and compile qmail yourself. get the qmail-1.03.tar.gz On a Debian GNU/Linux system it can be painful to install from source because of constraints imposed by the package management system dpkg. Dpkg wants a mail transport agent defined (by default our friend sendmail, of course). Lots of packages depend on the mail transport agent. In my case I found that an install of qmail from the source tarball caused additional pain, since the Debian Gods have decided that it is a great idea to enforce the qmail user IDs one must use: qmaild:x:64011:65534:qmail daemon,,,:/var/qmail:/bin/false qmails:x:64012:64010:qmail send,,,:/var/qmail:/bin/false qmailr:x:64013:64010:qmail remote,,,:/var/qmail:/bin/false qmailq:x:64014:64010:qmail queue,,,:/var/qmail:/bin/false qmaill:x:64015:65534:qmail log,,,:/var/qmail:/bin/false qmailp:x:64016:65534:qmail pw,,,:/var/qmail:/bin/false I had created the IDs via the instructions in INSTALL.ids. Of course they were different. No other set of ids works with the package one gets. I only got the "debianized" qmail package install to work after I wiped all traces of the vanilla install from my system and ran the install script via 'dselect'. It does work, but one must let it do *everything*. -John -- "God is a comedian playing to an audience too afraid to laugh." - Voltaire

Re: help qmail+vpopmail+ezmlm+qmailadmin+sqwebmail
Hi Ken I had three lines in the assign file, and a single period for the last line. I had added single period's after each line. But the problem still remains. Kapil You probably don't have a ending line with a single period . That is why qmail-newu is failing to compile. and without a compiled assign file, qmail won't be able to find the virtual domain directory to deliver it to.
ezmlm question
Hi. I've set up a family mailing list. When I send an email to the mailing list server, the message is send out as From: me, where me is the sender's email. I'd like responses to go to the mailing list, rather than the sender. I was thinking of adding a Reply-To: to 'headeradd' but I'm not sure what side effects might arise. Is there a better way to go about this? Thanks, BTW, ezmlm-idx does not compile or install properly on my Solaris 7 machine (using gcc). I'll look into it further when I have time.

Hi, I noticed my name appears in one of the From: fields a couple messages up. How could that happen? I don´t remember posting anything to this list. greetings Thilo

I think this therefore eloquently answers my previous question and confirms my original feeling that it is a bad idea to post virus warnings to this group. - Original Message - From: Kai MacTane [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 08 May 2000 23:22 Subject: RE: FW: FW: VIRUS PEOR QUE MELISSA II *** Importante*** At 5/8/2000 02:52 PM -0700, Bryan Hundven wrote or quoted: Could we possibly get this in english?

Sure will.

Qmail Setup
I am having a hard time setting up Qmail on a FreeBSD4.0 machine and was wondering if there was anyone on this list that I could correspond with that is running a similar build. My goal is to set up a mail server with POP3 that will support around 100,000 pop boxes. Although I have read the documentation I am unsure what the best way of going about this would be. First of all what software would you all recommend. Here is what I have so far. FreeBSD4.0 (Setup and working great) Qmail-1.03 (When I telnet to localhost port 25 I get "421 unable to read controls (#4.3.0)" UCSPI-TCP 0.88 (I compiled it and now I am not sure what to do!) I read in the /etc/inetd.conf file that I should use tcpserver. Still need a POP3 Server By the way if you cant tell already I am pretty new to UNIX (FreeBSD) but the mail server that I am setting up will be a great way for me to learn. I do have 3 years of networking experience, just not with UNIX and I will be a contributing to this list as much as I can after I figure out what I am doing. Thanks in advance,

badmailpattern
Hi all, Just getting conflicting information here.. i know badmailfrom and badrcptto work with the standard qmail-smtpd, but do i need to patch with anything to get the badmailpattern file to work as well? I'm assuming yes, as i put in a string into /var/qmail/control/badmailpattern and it didn't work. Regards, Marc-Adrian Napoli Network Administrator Connect Infobahn Australia +61 2 9281 1750

I had added single period's after each line. But the problem still remains. Kapil You probably don't have a ending line with a single period . That is why qmail-newu is failing to compile. and without a compiled assign file, qmail won't be able to find the virtual domain directory to deliver it to. dont' put periods at the end of each line. If you want to try starting over, run ~vpopmail/bin/vdeldomain domain for each of the current domains.

Lowercasing non-ASCII chars?
From: =?iso-8859-1?Q?Mikko_H=E4nninen?= [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Mon, 8 May 2000 21:49:22 +0300 . . . And yes, I know it's not a good idea to use 8bit characters in the email addresses. I'm not planning to use these addresses except as a safety catch in case someone happens to use them by accident... Regards, Mikko To belabor what is perhaps obvious by now, RFC822 forbids 8-bit characters in the local-part of an address (or anywhere else, for that matter). The key lines are as follows: atom= 1*any CHAR except specials, SPACE and CTLs CHAR= any ASCII character; ( 0-177, 0.-127.) I haven't actually seen this particular violation in use; has anybody else? -- Bob Rogers
