qmail log analysis script
I've written a 'qmail statistics' script that does the dirty work of
generating qmailanalog-acceptable log files:
- making sure you have an up-to-date pending file
- converting timestamps to fractional time using tai64nfrac
- running current and pending logs through matchup
It then calls qmailanalog's z-commands to analyze the results. It's intended
for creating weekly email messages to root, but it wouldn't be hard to tweak
to generate web pages or some such.
In its current state, it makes a few assumptions:
- your logs are rotated (archived), but are all available in the log
directory
- log stamps are in TAI64N format--at least, they're run through the
tai64nfrac
translator before sending them to matchup, so if they're not in TAI64N
they'd
better have the fractional-time stamps that matchup expects
Everything else that can change from installation to installation should be
defined in the first section ("Files and Paths"); change it as appropriate.
I'm sending it to the list in the hope that it will be useful to others, and
for comments and corrections--I'm sure there's a lot that could be improved.

#
# This script does the dirty work of generating an up-to-date pending
# file from archived (rotated) logs. It runs the logs through
# tai64nfrac to convert TAI64N timestamps to the fractional timestamps
# required by qmailanalog's matchup. After an producing a current
# matchup file from the current log file and an up-to-date pending file,
# it runs a list of qmailanalog commands on the current matchup file and
# writes the results to standard output.
#
# Note that the output is only the result of the current log file; since
# my log files are rotated once a week, that means that the statistics
# output are only for messages send and received so far this week.
#
# This script tries to be reasonably intelligent about generating the
# up-to-date pending file: If the pending file is newer than the archived
# log files, it isn't regenerated. If the pending file doesn't exist at all,
# it's regenerated completely, starting with the oldest log file (see the
# matchup man page). Since my log files are rotated weekly, the pending file
# should only need to be updated once a week--nice, since the old log files
# are about 2.5MB each.
#
# CUSTOMIZATION: Any parameters that need to be changed for your qmail
# installation should be in the "Files and Paths" section. If something
# doesn't work, it's most likely because your files are in different
# locations--double-check the paths carefully.

Re: Not receiving from all domains - is it DNS?
Barry Dwyer wrote: Would this reverse-DNS entry (apparently there for the convenience of the ISP's reseller) be preventing some mail servers from forwarding to ours? I noticed that your provider is a backup mailserver for you: dream:/usr/src # nslookup -type=MX nethan.com nethan.com preference = 500, mail exchanger = mail2.sohoskyway.net nethan.com preference = 1, mail exchanger = mail.nethan.com You may have the same problem I did at one time. Our provider was a backup mailer for us, and they didn't have their MS Exchange server setup to correctly route mail to me (I had to research the subject and TEACH them how to do this, btw, UGH...) - which would normally not be a problem since our Frame Relay is (supposed to be) up all the time - the backup mailer is _supposed_ to come into play only when the primary one is down. The normal way a mailer is supposed work is to try contacting the best preferrence mailserver, and if that doesn't work, the next preference, and so on... Well, MS Exchange doesn't do that - MS uses the get-mail-the-hell-out-as-fast-as-possible-and-screw-the-consquences approach: it opens a connection to _all_ mailers for a given domain, and hands off the mail to whichever mailer responds the fastest. So domains running MS Exchains servers were sending mail through my provider (because his connection to the outside is naturally much faster than mine), and the provider wasn't setup to relay for me, so the mail never got through. Some domains, running other mailers, got through just fine. And the really frustrating aspect was that even the domains that _were_ running MS Exchains would get mail through some of the time, when they happened to get directly into my server faster. It was horrible... Anyway, I dunno if this is your problem, but to check, try going to a machine outside your provider's domain, telnet to your provider's SMTP port, and try relaying mail through it into your domain. If his mailer refuses to relay for you, it might be the cause (it's a problem in any case). Eric

Re: Not receiving from all domains - is it DNS?
I don't know what server software our ISP is using. At the time of the problem, though, they didn't have the backup mail entry in place so whatever was going on was related to our primary server only. The ISP is *adamant* that the problem had nothing to do with the reverse-DNS problem and was caused only by some of the ISPs using cached DNS information that took a while to update after our mail server went live. OK in theory but it seems that doesn't explain inconsistent delivery from some of those ISPs (1 message in 10 with no bounces for the other 9). Also, 72 hours is a long time for that problem to persist - seems a long time to keep cached information. Even odder is that it went away and the mail started to flow not long after the reverse-DNS problem was corrected. I have to admit to being new to this, which is frustrating. I need to do some homework on what happens with mail servers set to what I've heard described as "paranoid mode". Barry

If you are using mysql, sybase or oracle, you need to edit the courier-imap code. In the authlib directory, find the vauth_getpw function call and add a vclose(); right after it. The reason why is, a courier-imap client causes a courier-imap process to run on the server. Unlike pop, the courier-imap server process stays active for the entire session. So if you have 200 people using imap, you'll have 200 courier-imap server processes running on your machine. Now the reason for the vclose() is that vpopmail API doesn't explicitly close the connection to the database. Once the vauth_getpw() function is run, courier-imap has all the information it ever needs from the database. At that point we need to call vclose() to close the database connection. If not, those 200 imap clients will cause 200 database connections to stay open. The vclose() call isn't needed if you are using the file based authentication module in vpopmail. Since the files are closed during each vpopmail api function call. Ken
Unable to switch to home directory
Hello, I'm stumped on this one: One of my users can't receive mail because qmail has problems getting to his home. - the user has a home like /prefix/www.do.main - with maildir delivery ./MailDir/ in said case (that's the same for all users) - he owns both his home (mode 0755) and the MailDir (mode 0700) My setup is such that I first route through a private switchboard and from there redirect the messages to the different users (or to the outside). So I can avoid letting users mess around with their own mail setup... Ok, in my switchboard I say that this user should receive mail in his home, so there is user@localhost in the corresponding .qmail- file. In said user's home are .qmail and .qmail-default files saying to put the mail into ./MailDir/ (it needs this indirection because I have no access to the homes of these users when doing a normal qmail delivery). The user owns these files which are mode 0444. I see qmail reading the info in my switchboard, but don't see it access the user's home. I would appreciate it very much if anyone can spot the problem and tell me... Best Regards, --Toni++

RE: cannot authenticate
Kittiwat, You've probably still got qpopper running from inetd (Start looking in /etc/inetd.conf on your system). This needs to be disabled, and to replace it, use qmail-pop3d. vpopmail may have already set this up for you (I don't know vpopmail), but have been unable to bind to the POP3 port because qpopper was already using it. So try, 1. Disable qpopper. HUP inetd to make the change effective. See if the system now works. If not, 2. Reboot system (so all startup scripts get read, e.g. starting tcpserver to invoke qmail-pop3d) And see what's happening for POP3. If nothing's happening, 3. You'll need to get a handle on setting up qmail-pop3d with vpopmail. cheers, Andrew. -- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED][SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 05 July 2000 09:45 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject:cannot authenticate Hi there: I'm not sure if this list is the right place, or I should post it to vpopmail list.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Still having the service lock problem -- thanks Dave, I've followed your suggestions here: The general approach to fixing this problem is: 1) Stop all qmail-related processes including svscan, supervises, anything running as a "qmail" user, qmail-send, multilogs, etc. *Everything*. ps -a shows no qmail related services running prior to sending the start command. If I let the error loop in one term window I see svscan and TWO service entries (with one or both defunct depending on how quickly I run ps). I looked for clues as to the origin of the two instances, but couldn't find anything obvious. You mean "supervise"? You should see four: one each for qmail-send, qmail-smtpd, and two for "log"--the logs associated with them. 2) Double check directory names/owners/groups/modes and the contents of "run" scripts against LWQ. Check for extraneous ampersands () at the ends of lines. I have probably messed this up from standard... I recursively set ownership of /var/qmail/supervise and its subdirectories to qmaill.nofiles. The directories I opened up to 777. I reran the chmod commands in LWQ on the run files in those directories setting them to 755. I have no idea whether these changes would make my problem worse, but the results have not changed... Post the output of the following: ls -lR /var/qmail/supervise cat /var/qmail/supervise/*/run cat /var/qmail/supervise/*/log/run -Dave

New delayed mail notification setup
Greetings. I have looked at the qmail_bounce package, and am somewhat dissatisfied with it. The logic is excessively convoluted (I want a single response after a set time, etc.), several easily determined constants are hard-coded into the program (the queue lifetime, control/me, others), and it can't tell why the message was delayed. It's also written in Perl and requires several supporting Perl files whose path must also be hard-coded into the program. Once simplified somewhat, this program could just as easily be written in C. So, I want to write a new one. Ideally, I would like seomthing that will respond to the sender once, after the message has been in the queue for at least a configurable time interval. The notification message should detail all the recipients that have not received the message, and preferably a message indicating why delivery has been deferred. It may also limit notifications to senders in rcpthosts, for servers that function as gateways. The notification should contain at least part of the original message to help the sender remember what was sent. I am looking at three possible approaches for data gathering: 1. Use the same approach that qmail_bounce uses -- scan the qmail queue files for "old" files. Pros: simple, and gives me the sender and recipient and message times. Cons: still gives no indication about why the message bounced, and must be run in a cron job. 2. Run as a front-end for qmail-local and (especially) qmail-remote. Pros: reading the response from the preceding programs tells exactly why the bounce happened and when, and the message content is available on standard input. Cons: this requires renaming the preceding two programs to new names and hard-coding their new paths (a nuisance for package management systems like RPM, and makes aggregation of notifications difficult. 3. Run as a reader of the qmail log file, potentially using a multi-file reader to keep tracking when multilog's "current" file changes. Pros: the complete state of each message is known at all points, and once this state is built, timing and aggregation are simple. Cons: parsing the logs could be expensive; starting the process in mid-stream results in missing information; reading the original message requires either knowledge of queue-split and the hash algorithm or a linear scan of the queue directories. Do I have any other options? Are there any other issues that I haven't considered? -- Bruce Guenter [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://em.ca/~bruceg/ PGP signature

dial up - optimal solution?
Hi, What's the optimal solution for dial up connections (ppp and dynamicaly asssigned ip address)? A) The "Mail queue with qmail" configuration from Doug L. Vander Woude? [1] It works well here, but how is it possible to send online typed messages immidiately? The default configuration only allows to send queued messages at the beginning of the ppp session. or B) The "Qmail Holdremote Patch" [2]. But does it work for dynamicaly asssigned ip address? Or are there suggestions for alternative solutions? Greetings, Mark Weinem Footnotes: [1] http://www.i2k.net/~dougvw/mailqueue.html [2] http://www.warren.demon.co.uk/qmail.html
