Re: host masquerading.
From: Russell Davies [EMAIL PROTECTED] I realise that, however I want to deliver to _real_ recipients in some.domain, if I put some.domain in locals, then all mail going there will be delivered locally. Also check http://cr.yp.to/qmail/faq/incominguser.html#luser-relay , the last FAQ there can solve your problem in yet another way: let qmail deliver locally, forwarding unrecognized users elsewhere. There's a trick to it, tough, if I remember correctly: I replace the remote mail server address by its IP, like this | forward "$LOCAL@[192.168.1.1]" I think that the [ ] are mandatory. I'll be able to check exactly how I did it in a few days, if the above doesn't work. Armanfo smime.p7s

too many files
hi, im almost finished thanks to all of you guys, but i noticed that if im using ./Maildir/ qmail creat one file for all the incoming mail meaning one mail one file. if i have so many users then many incoming mail for every users meaning i have so many many files in my system in their home directory right? do i need to worry in filehandle error? anyone give me a suggestion to adjust the filehandle in linux? thanks again
RE: sending mail outside local domain
John, Does the domain tester.samhill.com exist in the DNS? - and is there a PTR record for the IP address of your sending mail server?

Anything you can do to speed up disk I/O will help, including: 1) Apply the big todo patch 2) Increase the number in the conf-split file and re-install 3) Change conf-spawn to 255 and reinstall 4) Get a Flash IDE disk for your queue ... or.. 5) Run qmail's queue on a disk drive all by itself 6) send qmail's log output to /dev/null I've seen machines that at max were doing 80 qmail-remotes.

RE: Building very large Qmail instalations...
Greg, I concur with the others who've replied to this message - there's no reason you can't run the size of userbase you propose on Qmail - two of the installations I've worked with are already happy at the half-a-million-users mark and should scale into the millions (these run on Solaris and Linux). The 'Classical' solution for a large installation of Qmail revolves around NetApps, a solution that has worked very well for me - this offers an effective FS, RAID, and nice rollback (snapshot) functions, maximising the data-integrity of users E-mail. Also, since NetApps have a good chunk of battery-backed memory, they can 'Sync' faster than a normal hard disk (once the NetApp says it's written a file, you can trust it to make sure it'll do so). The advantage with a NetApp - or probably any SAN - is that you can have multiple qmail front-ends to it, rather than having to buy the biggest machine you can lay your hands on (which will still - as you are finding - have limitations in terms of the hard disks). With Solaris, Veritas do a journalling-style filesystem, which will offer improved performance over UFS. Also ensure that you don't have any huge directories: many Unix filesystems struggle with large directories, so think about using hashing to distribute your files (user dirs etc.) into manageably-sized directories. It would seem Sun aren't being very imaginative with their Qmail figures, perhaps for the reason Toens mentions... but I'd suggest that it is necessary to have a careful Qmail design for it to scale properly anyway (My technique, when I first had to design a large system like this as a Qmail-newbie was to get some consultancy from Russ Nelson: Consultancy is cheap compared to anything you buy from Sun... ;-) cheers, Andrew. -- From: Toens Bueker[SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 28 June 2000 15:31 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject:Re: Building very large Qmail instalations...

Their answer was predictable - at least they have to try and sell their SIMS. I don't know about qmail - but as we have used a Sun U2 (two cpus) with 100,000 mailboxes for a short period of time with sendmail, qmail should easily handle much more. The problem - in this case - is Suns filesystem and qmails file operations. You didn't mention the number of disks in your A1000 - but maybe you should add some and spread the load between them. My suggestion, though, would be to dump the E450 and grab a reasonable sized Intel box (maybe dual PII 500) with FreeBSD on it. With FreeBSD, ffs and softupdates your i/o headaches should be gone.

I had instaled IMP for the Webmail but, I can't figure out what parameters I need to supply to qmail-inject for IMP will be able to send emails! Are there anyone with IMP/Qmail working? Another point, my last POP toaster where made using Qualcomm qpopper, and since the change (to qmail-pop3d) my customers had noticed they didn't had the status bar when downloading their email messages, the server (or the client) didn't inform the number of emails and what email is currently being downloaded, there is some parameter to change on qmail-pop3d to alter that?

Re: desperately looking for solution to this virtual domain problem
Well, it is your lucky day, or unlucky if I am wrong. However, I just finished doing what you want to do. I will try to make this detailed but brief. What you are trying to do is make a POP3 Toaster (Or IMAP Toaster) with vitural users and vitural domains. Where each user of one domain is independent of other unrelated users on other domains. So that means [EMAIL PROTECTED] has nothing to do with [EMAIL PROTECTED] and both get mail without bugging each other, and more importantly, not bugging you. (IE: The first bob as nothing to do with the second bob and their mail will be seperate of each other.) What my list of software and instructions will give in the end is machine takes mail for whatever domains and put them in maildir format on your machine. What is cool about this setup is that you can have normal mail users like you would regularly think of, and also have virtual users, who will never login to the machine execpt for pop and imap. So its a duel type system Some of the great things about this system is that you can have quotas for vitural user based on amount of messages and/or total size of all messages for a user. You will also only have real accounts for the vitural domains. For example, when you host hell.com, will have a user call "hellcom" (For example). Then VmailManger will put the vitural users in "hellcom" account. So you can host a tons virtual domains. The whole system is alittle clumsy at first, but it works really well and it grows on you after a couple of days. For example, its a couple of steps to add a new user to a virtual domain, and more steps if it is new virtual domain you have to add. I am kinda running out of steam, so the docs are below. Post questions and will get replies back to the list on my second wind. To make this system you will need all/most of these below to make this beast. (Note: I did not use LDAP, so that might change things.) Unix Box that is up and working. (www.Linux.org or www.FreeBSD.org (Just to name two)) qmail-1.03 (www.qmail.org) tcpserve (http://cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp.html) Courier IMAP (http://www.inter7.com/courierimap/) OpenSSL (www.openssl.org) (Encrypted IMAP) stunnel (http://mike.daewoo.com.pl/computer/stunnel/) (Encrypted IMAP) VmailManager (http://www.vmailmgr.org/) relay-ctrl (http://em.ca/~bruceg/relay-ctrl/) (If you want to let non-local users send mail through your server) You need these need these patches: qmail-103.patch (Big DNS patch.

This give you a good idea of whats going on. hi everybody I know this is a tense subject on the mailing list, but please bear with me. ;o) I haven't even INSTALLED qmail yet, but would much rather use it on my RedHat 6.1 box than the stock sendmail that's full of holes. However, my dilemma is that I'm going to be running multiple virtual domains on one qmail server and dont want to use /etc/passwd rather i am planning to use LDAP DIRECTORY SERVER (WHERE I CAN SPECIFY MAILMESSAGESTORE AS WELL AS USERS HOME DIRECTORY ) and am curious to know what steps exactly I should follow to get the setup completed with qmail. , I have read through the FAQ's and found them a little confusing. I also searched through the mailing list archives and am even more confused. What I'm looking for here is a way to set up my server to accept mail for domain1.com, domain2.com and domain3.com ... etc, to domainn.com. Each domain should have its own unique users. That is, [EMAIL PROTECTED] is NOT [EMAIL PROTECTED] Is this going to be a problem? This is the issue that I fail to see (easily) addressed from what I've read so far for each of the domains so that each user can login using POP/IMAP to retrieve their mail( i am planning to use Maildir rather then Mailbox . I'd also like an way to handle Email aliasing so that [EMAIL PROTECTED] can be sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or wherever else I need it to go. I'm not new to Linux, but I'm new to the idea of setting up multiple domains on a single host using qmail and directory server , so any hand-holding would be appreciated.

Re: multilog
That go it. You were absolutely right - that was the only difference between the two machines. Thanks so much. :) Susan From: Susan LB [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have this same exact setup on 3 machines. It works fine on 2 of them (i.e. multilog starts up fine when qmail is started) but the 3rd machine is exhibiting this strange behavior. I've compared the machines and I can not find any difference between them. Check the sticky bit on the log directory... if you compare with the other two machines you'll see the difference. Armando
Making servers tell bytes send/recieved
Hi! Does anyone have a pointer as to how i can get qmail-smtpd and qmail-pop3d (or tcpserver, for that matter) tell how much data has been sent and received on a per-connection basis? Or has anyone written a patch to do this? Yes, I could probably get the kernel to tell me that, but I don't wanna. -Johan -- Johan Almqvist

Anyway, if you want to have it delete everything from the queue on it's next pass through, you could run this command in the /var/qmail/queue/info directory: find . -type f -print | xargs touch 0530 This would touch all the info files to a date of about 2 months ago. Next time qmail tries to send them, it will see this and delete 'em from the queue.

How can I clean it up ? What do you mean by "dead mail"? All mail times out within 7 days by default, and is returned to the sender. There is no action you need to take to cause this to happen. Actually, those mail are sent from a null-client. The client did not have sendmail/qmail listening on port 25. As a result, qmail cannot rebounce those email to originating host. Actually, I am finding a way so that qmail can rewrite those return-path: of email that qmail relay. It seem that the mess822 on another package did not suitable for this purpose. Regards, Edward.

Re: too many files

Filehandles are only used on open files, so no, you don't have to worry about them with Maildirs. Inodes, on the other hand, are used by all files on disk. If you run out of inodes, you can't create more files--even if the disk has lots of free space. THe only was you can add inodes is by backing up the filesystem, re-newfs/mkfs'ing it with more space for inodes, and restoring from the backup. -Dave

When i changed the permissions on /var/qmail/supervise and it's subs to qmaill.qmail it worked like a charm. The real reason is that multilog runs as user qmaill. I know it's not a scientific approach, but i couldn't find anything in lwq about the proper permissions (Dave, if you're reading this ;-)) It's in there: Then set up the log directories: mkdir -p /var/log/qmail/smtpd chown qmaill /var/log/qmail /var/log/qmail/smtpd Nope, this talks about the /var/log/qmail subtree.

Re: fastforward, redirection and truncating messages
Anyway-for the brief question. Has anyone ever seen the problem of
emails being delivered with without the body of the message?
I would try to check that the mail actaully arrives at your system in
the format the users sending it believe it should.
I have had users of one PC mailer (Eudora) complain of this type of
behaviour. One of the users tracked this down to a "forward to"
facility in the client only sending on portions of the message. Their
workaround was to use some other Eudora facility ("redirect to")
instead. I didn't investigate first hand; I'd believe anything about
PC mail clients except that someone somewhere wrote one that works.
