something strange ...
Hi ... I use qmail vpopmail and I was trying to setup a dot-qmail to forward emails to another account , at the same time retain a copy of message on maildir, but I did not succeed. Here is the content of my .qmail file. __ [EMAIL PROTECTED] /var/vpopmail/domains/ipko.org/test/ - "(I've tried to add ./Maildir/ as well)" When I send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] , I get an error reply from MAILER-DAEMON that "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" is not listed in control/locals ... bla bla bla ... As you see the second line in my .qmail containing my path to Maildir is treated as E-mail address and not as a local path. I have read the "man dot-qmail" manual , and tried everything , but the problem remains the same. If anybody can help me on that , I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance, Visar

QMAIL Newbie: Simple Question
I did check the FAQ before sending this The setup I am administrator of is using QMAIL 1.03 vpopmail. There are a number of domains and the mail is broken up for users under the domains. I need to forward a copy of ALL inbound messages for one domain to a specific address [EMAIL PROTECTED]. I suspect that I shouldn't make this specific address part of the domain I want to copy because that would probably put me off in an endless loop. I suspect that I need to add a .qmail file into the home directory for the domain, and that should get parsed for each user ( Correct? ). Anyone that could help me, I'd really appreciate it.

Many local messages being generated ??
I'm running qmail v. 1.03 and vpopmail 4.96 on Linux RedHat 6.2. All domains are virtually subhosted. Everything is working fine. My init script is: csh -cf '/var/qmail/rc ' /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -H -R -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -u 506 -g 505 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -H -R 0 pop-3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup mail.inloc.com /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir The problem is I'm getting hundreds of local messages in my qmail maillog, repeated about 500-600 times a day. They are mostly like the following: Nov 23 14:14:53 inloc qmail: 975006893.795559 starting delivery 5791: msg 50247 to local [EMAIL PROTECTED] Nov 23 14:14:53 inloc qmail: 975006893.795692 status: local 1/10 remote 0/20 Nov 23 14:14:53 inloc qmail: 975006893.813645 delivery 5791: deferral: POP_user_does_not_exist,[EMAIL PROTECTED]/Can't_create_tempfile_(#4.3.8)/ Nov 23 14:14:53 inloc qmail: 975006893.813782 status: local 0/10 remote 0/20 The /home/vpopmail/inloc.com/.qmail-default file points to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and works correctly. This also happens, though less often, for other virtual domains. There is nothing in the crontab or cron log concerning this. Any ideas would be most welcome. -- All the best (Adéu-siau), Lou Hevly [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.visca.com

Re: Problems starting qmail
From: Phil Hedley@MITEL on 11/24/2000 04:42 PM GMT Just found that qmail seems to run OK when /etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail is executed after reboot.

slow POP3 response
I'm a newbie, and maintaining single qmail server, supports 3000 user with 10 email domain. Authentication handled by vpopmail. Machine is AlphaServer-DS20E, memory 1 GB, Digital Unix 4.0F patched. And recently we suffer a slow (very) POP response. For this, i have detailed data which i gained from sniffing. And it shows how much time needed just to connect to POP application. This is our tcpserver configuration, /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -c 128 0 110 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup My-Hostname \ /vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir What wrong with this? Please help me. Any help very appreciated. Wisnu.

Hardware Requirements
What's hardware requirements I need to run a server with Qmail and Ezmlm and. - 2.000.000 subscribers - 100 newsletters - 2.000.000 deliverys for day ? Please, if anybody have idea or experience about it reply me! :) ..thanks! Federico Edelman

Linux? Solaris (Sun)? how many space i need for 100 lists and 2.000.000 subscribers (total)? The messages's size: 50 KB If you're using ezmlm to manage these mailing lists, then I presume that the answer to this question, which you didn't answer: For any one newletter, will all of it's recipents get the same newsletter? if not, then that means each newletter will have to have 2 million copies if itself in the mail queue. is 'yes', in that all recipients get the same newsletter. That means that you only have 100 copies of the 50k newsletter in your message queue. That's only about 5M of diskspace. No problem there. I don't have a quick handle on how much diskspace any one instance of a mailing list takes, though, WRT the list of subscribers. I have one fairly tiny list I run (~100 people); based on what it takes up, I'm going to odd-handedly guess that 2 million subscribers (over all lists) will cost you maybe 40M of diskspace. Are you maintaining indexes of these lists? (The ezmlm-idx patch implies that). That will open-endedly eat diskspace forever. Each list's mailing will cause another 50k message to be saved. How long are you going to keep messages? How long are you going to keep mail logs for deliveries? They can possibly eat your diskspace if kept forever. You'll want to keep some, so you can periodically analyze how well the machine can deliver mail. I'd hazard, roughly, that this 8G hard drive will have the capacity to hold you down for many months. But, in my mail to you, I mentioned network I/O, and disk I/O (not capacity). Network I/O: You want 2 million deliveries of a 50K file a day. That's 100G a day; that's 1.1M a _second_ of network activity, sustained 24x7. And that's _just_ the newsletters. That does not take into account: - DNS traffic with all of the timeouts and that that implies - SMTP traffic. Assume 300 bytes per delivery: that's 600M _a day_ just talking SMTP. - managing bounces So - what's your ISP hookup like? Disk I/O: Qmail is notoriously disk-heavy. I have no experience with the ReiserFS, so I don't know how much of a gain you'll get. A 'classic' trick with qmail is to run several instances of qmail with separate queues, preferably on separate spindles. That way, one sluggish mailing list won't bog down the others. That implies multiple hard drives. You mention 'a roundrobin DNS (with 4 relay host)'. I'm not certain I understand how you have those set up...

Can someone at least acknowledge that me email made it out to the list ? jeff. Copy of original message: === I did check the FAQ before sending this The setup I am administrator of is using qmail 1.03 vpopmail. There are a number of domains and the mail is broken up for users under the domains. I need to forward a copy of ALLINBOUND messages for one of the domains on this email server to a specific address [EMAIL PROTECTED]. I suspect that I shouldn't make this specific address part of the domain I want to copy because that would probably put me off in an endless loop. I suspect that I need to add a .qmail file into the home directory for the domain, and that should get parsed for each user ( Correct? ). Anyone that could help me, I'd really appreciate it.

Perhaps your support payment check has not yet been received at the qmail central office yet. The message made it to the list. Maybe the reason that you haven't gotten a response is that the answer depends on familiarity with vpopmail; this isn't a vpopmail list, and I'd venture to say that most people here don't use it. I believe there is a vpopmail list, and you might have better luck there. Chris
