Volunteers for a multilog patch?
G'day all I'm in need of some sanity. Does a patch exist, or does anyone want to make one, to make multilog rotate logs based on time rather than file size? I hope that I don't even have to start explaining why...The word 'standardisation' comes to mind. It's like comparing America to Australia. Why do America have to make everything back-to-front for us? The same goes for multilog... I want to be able to archive logs easily, analyse them easily. Tell me how I can do that if I am limited by file size. A bulk e-mail that I'm not expecting will wipe my files out of existance. Sure I can make the number of files I keep bigger, but is that really a fix? More its an unnecessary hassle getting in the way. Using tai64 time format, I kind of understand. It makes some degree of sense, even if it is annoying to read straight out. But size-based log rotation with no option for time? OK someone's been smoking some big time drugs here... Oh and before you say try the !processor directive, I did but to no avail...There is probably a whole paragraph of information on it spanned across the Internet. Great. No examples anywhere really though... Thanks for perusing this query /BR Manager InterPlanetary Solutions http://ipsware.com/
Re: Qmail Basics
Hi Daniel I was faced the same problem two months ago and I was provided with great help from the list. My big problems were problems in the config files. Especially your tcp-server problems seem to occur for this reason. So I sent you my startup script for tcpserver. I have the same Configuration as you so you should have not a big problem to adapt it to your setup. Just call it in the appropriate rc.x level and everything should be fine. The documentation you asked for is Dave sills Life with qmail. I think you yet found it. When I had problems I was also looking for further documentation but finally I discouvered that you could really everything to work with LWQ. hth /ch

Re: SPAM is not a big deal if you are getting only SPAM
I've been watching this thread on the sideline, and it seems to me, that the problem is that your box accepts to receive mail to adresses that doesn't exist on your server, and thus floods your postmaster (you) am i right? If this is so, then all you really have to do is this: remove .qmail-default make .qmail-postmaster inot a script that looks up if the reciving adress is valid, othervise send it to /dev/null /Martin Petr Novotny wrote: > > -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- > Hash: SHA1 > > On 4 Oct 2000, at 19:45, OK 2 NET - André Paulsberg wrote: > > > Block them with ORBS ;D > > You don't get it.

The storm is (fortunately) over. I have solved the load on the box by changing my .qmail-default to |fastforward -d /etc/aliases.cdb; exit 0 It kept the load down, and kept my inbox (almost) clean. But still the trafic was killing the line.

Clustering Qmail

Re: Clustering Qmail
>do there exist any solutions for clustering qmail to build high-volume-servers >i`m looking for some tools or patches to do load-balancing, put pop-boxes on >more than one server, use more than one smtp-server... >help??? There are several server load balancer solutions available. I use the 'ServerIron' product from Foundry Networks (www.foundrynet.com), it seems to perform very well. You also have Alteon (www.alteonwebsystems.com), cisco, and others. These boxes are regular layer-2 switches. In addition to switching packets like other switches, they perform load balancing. One way they can do this is to reply to ARP requests for the IP addresses your mail server is known by on the Internet. Your router will therefore send all incoming IP packets to the ethernet address of the switch. The switch will pick up a packet, choose the front-end mail processor (FEP) it thinks has the lowest load at the moment, put that ethernet address on the packet instead of its own and put the packet back on the wire for the FEP to pick up. The switch also monitors the FEP's and routes connection requests to other working servers if a FEP is discovered to be faulty. This makes error situations and maintainance downtime invisible to the clients. -- Gjermund Sorseth
RE: Clustering Qmail
None as such..I have been meaning to write a HOWTO for something similar but this year has just been crazy...maybe next year. BUT some suggestions: - Look into a NFS/NIS combination (I use this for a distributed e-mail system currently spanning a city, soon to be spanning several locations on the planet) - AFS (Andrew File System) also looks interesting for some real hard-core distributed, clustered work There are probably other ideas, but those are the two I would look into first. /BR Manager InterPlanetary Solutions http://ipsware.com/ > -Original Message- > From: Thomas Ackermann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, October 05, 2000 6:50 PM > To: MailingList Qmail > Subject: Clustering Qmail > > > do there exist any solutions for clustering qmail to build > high-volume-servers > ?? > i`m looking for some tools or patches to do load-balancing, put > pop-boxes on > more than one server, use more than one smtp-server... > help??? > > thx >

Hard Disk Requirements for ~200 users
Hello, I am gearing up to convert a sendmail system with pop/imap access on a DEC Alpha to a Qmail-LDAP / Courier Imap virtual user environment on a Sun Netra T105 with Solaris 8. Could somebody provide me with an estimate of how much hard disk space I need based on your personal experience. My setup is as follows: * Qmail with Maildir storage * currently 170 users, but the number grows from 5-10 a month * Imap only access to the server * virtual user environment * All mail stored on the server * Clients include Outlook, OE, Pine, Mutt, Netscape, etc. Windows clients don't always compact their folders as often as they should and some have never done it. * Current mailboxes on the DEC Alpha contain from 1 week to 5 years of messages. I have estimated the current disk usage on the DEC Alpha to be around 70GB just for mail, but this is just a quick look at users home directories and /var/spool/mail. The actual size of those directories is approx 105GB. Please copy me personally also if you reply. Thanks, Mike

RE: A couple newbie install questions
I had similar problems (I'm also a newbie), and I'm sure exactly how they were resolved, but here is what I did. I'm running RH 6.2 and the 'Life with qmail' setup qmail-send and qmail-smtp directories correctly, but did not do qmail-pop3d. I had to figure out on my own. Well, here it is: mkdir /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-pop3d chmod 777 /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-pop3d chmod +t /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-pop3d mkdir /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-pop3d/log the owner should be root. /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-pop3d/run looks like: #!/bin/sh exec /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R 0 pop-3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup yourdomain.com /bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 2>&1 the exec is all on one line. Replace yourdomain.com with your own FQDN. I'm using redhat 6.2 so the port 110 is aliased as 'pop-3'. /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-pop3d/log/run looks like: #!/bin/sh exec /usr/local/bin/setuidgid qmaill /usr/local/bin/multilog t /var/log/qmail/pop3d mkdir /var/log/qmail/pop3d chown qmaill /var/log/qmail/pop3d then I still had a problem with the same error messages you are getting. Then I ran these commands, which I think created the lock files. svc -u /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-pop3d svc -u /var/qmail/supervise/*/log It still did not work, then I rebooted, and everything started working. Since tcpserver handles pop-3 (port 110), you should comment out your entry in inetd.conf and then restart (killall -HUP inetd).

Re: Hard Disk Requirements for ~200 users
You are gonna have ALOT of problems with courier-imap if your clients are using all the clients you described here... The guy who wrote courier-imap is fanatically standard compliant and thus it isn't really suited for use with todays almost-but-not-really-standard-compliant imap clients like netscape, outlook and so on :) I have tried to set it up myself and came to the coclusion that either courier-imap needs alot of patching to allow stupid clients (and no the switch to help stupid clients that is allready there isn't enough at all) or else courier-imap will have to wait a few years to be put into use :) If i were you i would instead use the patch UW-imapd 4.7 that you will find here: http://www.davideous.com/imap-maildir/distrib/imap-4.7/imap-4.7-maildirpatched-1.00.tar.gz this patched version supports Maildir and it runs like a dream (i've been using it for a few weeks now) Well that was my 5 cents /Martin Mike Jackson wrote: > > Hello, > I am gearing up to convert a sendmail system with pop/imap access on a > DEC Alpha to a Qmail-LDAP / Courier Imap virtual user environment on a > Sun Netra T105 with Solaris 8.

vacation questions
I have written my own vacation program to fit in with some unusual configs we have here. My question is this: What other considerations in designing a good vacation program have I not thought of? I know there are all sorts of ways a poorly implemented vacation program can cause all sorts of nasty loops. So far the only feature I have in place to prevent that is that it keeps a flat text file containing the addresses to which it has already sent it's vacation message. Subsequent messages from the same sender are safely stored in the Maildir but not replied to. Any thoughts/recommendations? Should I be looking for any special headers or similar thoughts?

svscan weirdness...
I am using svscan to start qmail and dnscache. I use a similar config on our mail server and it works fine. But on my Linux workstation, when I reboot I get screens full of errors. I do a 'killall svscan supervise' and the errors stop. Then I start up svscan from the command line using exactly the same syntax as in the rc.local file (I just type "svscan /service &") and it works perfectly. Here's the actual errors and configs: -- svscan: warning: unable to start supervise dnscache: file does not exist svscan: warning: unable to start supervise dnscache/log: file does not exist svscan: warning: unable to start supervise qmail-smtpd: file does not exist svscan: warning: unable to start supervise qmail-smtpd/log: file does not exist svscan: warning: unable to start supervise qmail-send/log: file does not exist svscan: warning: unable to start supervise qmail-send: file does not exist -- svscan is started like this, from /etc/rc.d/rc.local: -- #!/bin/sh /usr/local/bin/svscan /service & -- And /service looks like this: petra:~$ ls -ld /service/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 21 18:58 /service/ petra:~$ ls -l /service/ total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Jun 19 15:57 dnscache -> /etc/dnscache// lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 Jul 21 18:28 qmail-send -> /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-send// lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 Jul 21 17:51 qmail-smtpd -> /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/ And the same contents of each of the relevant directories: petra:~$ ls -l /etc/dnscache/ total 20 drwxr-sr-x 4 root root 4096 Jun 19 15:57 log/ drwxr-sr-x 5 root root 4096 Sep 2 14:30 root/ -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 236 Jun 19 15:56 run* -rw--- 1 root root 128 Jun 19 15:56 seed drwx--S--- 3 root root 4096 Oct 5 10:57 supervise/ petra:~$ cat /etc/dnscache/run #!/bin/sh exec 2>&1 exec &1 Anyone see any red flags here?

As the author of the qmail-vacation program, let me give you a run down of features that have been requested by me and others (and most of them are not implemented yet). - do you want to reply if the recipient was not mentioned in To: or Cc: headers? - virtual domain handling people want to be able to reply to messages for different virtual domains/users - better control of updating .qmail (my feeling is to remove this from qmail-vacation completely as it is dangerous). You may also run into duplicate delivery/reply issues. The dot-qmail man pages summaries this quite well in the last paragraph: To set up independent instructions, where a temporary or permanent failure in one instruction does not affect the others, move each instruction into a separate .qmail-ext file, and set up a central .qmail file that forwards to all of the .qmail-exts. Note that qmail-local can handle any number of forward lines simultaneously. - do not reply to bounce or double bounce messages - eg check whether $SENDER is null or #@[] - do you want to worry about messages that have been 'bounced' or 'forwarded'. By bounce I mean that the original From: and To: headers remain intact, but additional Reset-From: and Resent-To: headers (etc) have been added. - do you reply to $SENDER, From: or Reply-To: and which has precendence? - do you want a default hard coded message just in case the text file is not there. - do you want to tailor replies for specific users: if from mum then print "Hi Mum, you can reach me in Canada on +1 613 368 4398" else print "I'm away from my mail" - do you want a reply only mode (useful for users who no longer live at your site - how do you handle very large databases of reply details. You use a text file, if you receive a lot of mail, processing that text file might be a performance hit. Would a dbm/cdb file be better? These are some of the ideas I've been tossing around for the next version of qmail-vacation, which I think I'll call qmail-reply because I'd like it to do more than just be a vacation system. -- Regards Peter -- Peter Samuel[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.e-smith.org (development)http://www.e-smith.com (corporate) Phone: +1 613 368 4398 Fax: +1 613 564 7739 e-smith, inc. 1500-150 Metcalfe St, Ottawa, ON K2P 1P1 Canada "If you kill all your unhappy customers, you'll only have happy ones left"

U.S. nutritional information labels aren't just metric. They commonly have one "layman's terms" measurement, followed by the metric equivalent in parentheses. For example, my orange juice bottle has "Serving Size: 8 fl oz (240mL)", and the cupcake package reads "Serving Size: 1 cake (50g)". > [Light switches] toggle, for Peter's sake!

Gee, I can't imagine why we put them on > the wall... A bit of clarification is needed here. Typically, power outlets in the U.S. won't have switches at all; that is, they're "always on." However, housing and apartment contractors have gotten really cheap lately. Instead of putting in overhead lighting, they'll wire the wall switch to a power outlet and expect the tenant to provide his/her own light source. On the other hand, power outlets in many modern U.S. home bathrooms *do* have a switch on the outlet itself, due to safety codes. > Of course we have a North Amercian centric view of the world: we're > the most powerful and important country in the world.

As Dave says, it's very much an individual site thing and you can do no better than extrapolate from your current users. 70GB for 170 users (~500MB per user!) sounds like a lot to me. But I guess that's the side-effect of IMAP and keeping folders on the mail server. Certainly a centralized well-managed disk farm is probably better than 170 unmanaged IDE disks sitting out there on PCs. You can be sure though that the average per user will rise - if for no other reason than the average size of each email is growing over time. Whatever you do, make sure expansion is really easy. Consider structuring your home directories so that can be spread across disk systems relatively easily. A little forethought now will save you a lot of hassle later. Regards.

qmail not recieving mail
Hi all, Im totally new to qmail, so please forgive my lack of knowledge. I seem to have pop3 set up on my server now. I can log in via telnet etc. The thing is, it seems qmail is not recieving incoming mail properly. Could someone give me a checklist of how to track how far the mail makes it and where it goes wrong? In other words, I want to know if it makes it to the server and then if qmail handles it correctly or where the problem may be. Thanks in advance. Gregg

replacing a working qmail box
hi, I'm about to replace a qmail box. I'm trying to plan a suitable strategy to replace the box in the least time, with the least hassles. A new box is ready, with the same software installed, except for sone security critical patches. A good deal of qmail related things are running there. See: Software: - qmail (as per qmail+patches v14 by Bruce Guenter) - svscan, supervise and friends of daemontools in general - vmailmgr - pop3d - ezmlm with idx - Courier-IMAP daemon Config/Data: - a few dozens of VDomains - 4 mailing lists managed by ezmlm - no users are (yet) using the IMAP services - The box doesn't relay for anyone, (except for mailing lists, and these are announce lists that can afford to loose their queue) so I don't think I'll have problems waiting for the queue to empty. It's usually empty. Now, the strategy: a - Get the queue to empty (how do I keep qmtpd from being called from supervise) b - Check the old box UIDs for the users attached to each vdomain, and create users on the new box with the same login/UID. c - tar and copy the homedir of these users to the new box d - untar keeping ownerships and permissions e - will this transfer my ezmlm-idz mailing lists safely? I hope so! f - copy /var/qmail/control and /var/qmail/alias to the new box g - copy the dns setttings to the new box h - disconnect the old box, give the new box the old IP, `shutdown -r ` to see that it all comes up nicely. i - go home early for once in my debugging life! Besides i, do you find anything wrong/misplaced with this scenario? If it works, we could actually build an appendix to LWQ! martin

connection refused on port 25
qmail is refusing my connection on port 25. qmail-smtpd seems to be up and running fine. I catted the most recent file in the log directory (not sure how you're supposed to use multilog) and it had a ton of lines saying: tcpserver: fatal: no IP address for 510 over and over and over. Does this have anything to do with my failure to connect on port 25? How can I track down why qmail is refusing connections? Thanks a lot for your help so far. The qmail community is obviously well-informed and knowledgable, which after working with MTA's for a while I can see is tough stuff to master. I look forward to poking around my (working ;) qmail setup and learning more. Gregg

My guess is that 510 is the user id or group id of qmaild and you have forgotten to put a -u or -g in front of 510.

For normal/shell users, use your system's per-user file quota mechanism. This may be easier for you if you do not use /var/spool/mail mail storage, but instead put their Maildirs or mboxes in their home directories. The only size checks that qmail does are those involving DATABYTES; see the man page for qmail-control for more.

Re: Clustering Qmail
I had this done once, and I used my mailservers used multiple NICs, IP aliasing, and NAT to deliver mail from a real IP mail server, to a Private IP fileserver mounted via NFS. Not really any security issues that I found, since the mail servers only have to run NFS client, and the fileserver is inaccessible from the internet. It worked out all right.

RE: Quota Problems
Okay I was a bit confused on my problem but here it is plain and simple. I am using qmail + ldap for authentication. I have a MailSizeDir File in each directory that the users mail gets dumped into. It keeps a running list of all the mail in the directory and size. Problem is after a user reads mail it does not elminate the file, I need it to do that after they read mail, my current script just deletes the file every 50 minutes, in effect eliminating the quota ability. Anyone able to help with this would be very apperciated?

[Linux/x86] dietlibc linked tcpserver
I have made available statically linked x86-linux binaries for tcpserver and tcpclient from ucspi-tcp with my IPv6 patch. You can download them from http://www.fefe.de/ucspi/x86-linux-ucspi-tcp.tar.bz2 and my gpg sig from http://www.fefe.de/ucspi/x86-linux-ucspi-tcp.tar.bz2.sig Why would you want to use those? First, these support IPv6, even on libc5 systems. Second, the memory footprint is very small. These lines are from ps awux. First: the regular binaries: qmaild8778 0.0 0.3 1200 476 ? S Aug 31 0:01 tcpserver -R -u 30 -g 35 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd Second: the new binaries, linked against dietlibc: leitner 9860 0.0 0.06056 ? S22:49 0:00 ./tcpserver -R 127.0.0.1 8000 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd While these savings are probably not very significant for desktop machines and servers who have plenty of RAM, they are important for embedded Linux people trying to build "pop toasters" or for people who want to run many services on the same machine. I am working on linking daemontools against dietlibc (supervise is already working and the savings are 20k vs. 344k resident. Stay tuned ;-) Felix PS: In case you want to learn more about dietlibc, please go to http://www.fefe.de/dietlibc/ In case you want to learn more about my ipv6 ucspi-tcp patch, please go to http://www.fefe.de/ucspi/

Re: connection refused on port 25
i might be wrong here but according to the man page of tcpserver that i have on my server there SHOULD be a space between -x and the cdb file name. anyway... Have you tried to use tcprulescheck to check the rules you've set up? What does your log files say? Shouldn't your group be nofiles and not qmaild? you can try to ass -H -R -l to the tcpserver switches, maybe it is chocking on information gathering... /Martin Barley wrote: > > > Hi, > > is there a space between -x and /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb ? > > if so, remove it. that's the only thing that looks suspicous... > > There sure was a space.

RE: connection refused on port 25
hi again, is 510 users id of qmaild or the group id? btw. is the log-message still the same? and not to forget, is the -p (paranoid) really necessary? try -R -H (only for testing) to switch off the paranoid stuff. did you try a "telnet localhost 25" or a connection from a remote station? :) a == Alexander Jernejcic email:[EMAIL PROTECTED] begin LOVE-LETTER-UND-NIX-DAZUGELERNT.txt.vbs I am a Signature, not a Virus! end == > -Original Message- > From: Barley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, October 05, 2000 10:34 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: connection refused on port 25 > > > > > Hi, > > is there a space between -x and /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb ? > > if so, remove it. that's the only thing that looks suspicous... > > There sure was a space.

RE: connection refused on port 25
use 'netstat --listening' while the program is running, and see if it lists a program doing the listening. Do it while its not running, and see if it DOESN'T list it listening. My program shows [root@CIO-QMAIL1 /root]# netstat --listening Active Internet connections (only servers) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State tcp0 0 *:smtp *:* LISTEN BTW: Does your cdb file completely deny access to anything?

xinetd vs. tcpserver
Hi all I have just switched from tcpserver to xinetd for simpler management since i need to be able to use the libwrap method of handeling access (/etc/hosts.(allow|deny)) The reasons why i need libwrap support is many and i won't bother you with it. I've got it up and running and everything seems to be fine... I would however like if you could point out negative implications that this switch might have? I know that performance (speed) probably is a bit lower with xinetd than with tcpserver, but i can't see anything else than that. /Martin

It doesn't matter. There is something else wrong with his setup.

Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.1.1)
Greeting, I'm in need of some help. I just reformatted my hard disk and started over from scratch. Im running qmail 1.03 and vpopmail 4.9.4. I don't have any /etc/passwd users. I installed vpopmail and everytime I send mail to one of the user I get a returned mail saying "Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.1.1)" I have the pop3d daemon running as the vpopmail user vchkpw and vpopmail owns everything in the users directory including the Maildir. EG
POP3 in qmail+mysql very slow
Hello everyone, I use qmail+mysql in my ISP and I verified that the POP3 server is very slow. Sometimes Netscape goes out by Time out. Anyone knows this problem? thanks in advance Luis
