concurrency patches
HI I have applied Russ Nelsons Big TO DO Patch and Big concurency patch Is this enough for qmail to handle a large number of simultaneous deliveries or I need to specify it in qmail-control Please explain me as I have just started with Qmail. also i see that Dave Smith of Xoom.com has updated the Big-to-do patch... Is the updated one recommended or the original is good enough. Regards Sumith

conf-spawn
Suppose my concurrencylocal and concurrencyremote will never be greater than, say, 50. Is there then any penalty in setting conf-spawn to 100? More to the point, is there any reason not to set conf-spawn to the largest value possible, other than portability? paul

Besides, the symptom isn't > delivery failure, it's slowness. Actually. I was little hasty on the first point. I now see what you're getting at. One question is, how far do you let qmail-remote go before deciding it will work. It it's past the MAIL FROM/RCPT TO part, then why not complete the delivery rather than incur the double load and double latency? If you mean to try and completely do the remote delivery prior to placing it in the queue, then this is the passthru idea that people have suggest previously. It potentially has merit with an amount of added complexity. One problem is that a busy system, such as a mailing list system may be at full concurrencyremote for extended periods of time, in which case, new submissions should not attempt qmail-remote delivery so you're back to square one. Another problem is that the mail has to be stored somewhere while qmail-remote attempts delivery. Well, unless you want the submitting client to wait - that may create a lot of confusing latency for, eg, people sitting on a PC using Eudora. If the mail is stored somewhere, you're starting to get back to a disk queue. But it's not necessarily a silly idea. I believe that sendmail tries to do something like this in certain circumstances. A monolithic design has an advantage in this regard. Doing this is a nice compartmentalized way with the current qmail wouldn't be a lot of fun. Regards.

Why not pre-process with qmail-remote before queueing? qmail-remote is way too late as most of the I/O load is putting the mail in the queue, not getting it off. Besides, the symptom isn't delivery failure, it's slowness. Regards.

Re: can't connect to smtp
Have you checked your tcpserver logs to see what it thinks is going on? If there is no record of your attempt to connect, it means it is not listening on port 25. Otherwise it may tell you why you are being refused. Just in case--did you re/compile the rules file?

You mean someone deleted them or the disk got trashed, right? The usual thing is to get it off of your backup. Does this not work for you? If you're asking for a magic way to get a file back that has been deleted/trashed and which you have no backup, then you're out of luck. This is not a qmail problem though, this is a system management problem. Regards.

No, the problem is that while they may be helpful if sent by a server under your control (where you can delete the message if you like) they are a nightmare if sent by remote systems where you have no chance to control them.

Actually, Qmail works fine as an incoming MX for Hotmail.com. mail.hotmail.com, one of Hotmail's incoming mx machines, runs Qmail. [1] While not quite on the same scale as hotmail/AOL, egroups.com is not exactly a low-traffice mail server. egroups has a single incoming mail exchanger, which runs Qmail.

Classes are not determined by the size of the network address. 192.x.x.x is a class B address. 63.x.x.x (that you mentioned in a part I snipped) is a class A address.

Wildcards in badmailfrom?
Hey all, I have a really annoying spammer on my hands and just wonder if it is possible to use wildcards in badmailfrom? Originally I added [EMAIL PROTECTED] to badmailfrom and that blocked it for about a month. Then he got halfway smart and changed his sender address to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for which I added @tpts6.seed.net.tw to badmailfrom. This however, only worked for a few minutes as he is apparently starting to create random names for mail hosts. Here is a list that I have collected so far @tpts4.seed.net.tw @mx.seed.net.tw @ara.seed.net.tw @tpts6.seed.net.tw @sky.seed.net.tw @iris.seed.net.tw @giga.net.tw @party.seed.net.tw @ksmail.seed.net.tw @saturn.seed.net.tw @tpts7.seed.net.tw Now, my question is, would it be possible to block as in @*.seed.net.tw Thanks.

qmail - how bundle mails?
Hi, how does i reach, so that qmail will send mail to different users in the same domain as bundle? e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] with one connection, so that only one mail must be send over the net with the information to the smtp server, that this mail is for more user. the background is: I've a mailing list server, and we pay for traffic. On the server ist installed qmail, vpopmail and ezmlm. any ideas? tom

Not necessarily. ext2 doesn't sync the metadata of a file when the file is synced; instead, it is synced when the directory it is in is synced. So for safety, you either have to mount the filesystem with synchonous metadata (as I said above), or have your program sync the directory of a file after syncing the file. Bruce Guenter's SRPM of qmail includes a patch which does the directory sync, so you don't have to mount the filesystem with synchronous metadata for safety.

It will keep retrying for upto a week (with growing intervals). After that week, it will bounce the mail. Read up on queuelifetime in man qmail-send to see how to increase that period even more.

I knew I'd seen the requirements explicitly mentioned somewhere. Then I had occasion to build qmail from scratch the other day and found it: % cat conf-qmail /var/qmail This is the qmail home directory. It must be a local directory, not shared among machines. This is where qmail queues all mail messages. The queue (except for bounce message contents) is crashproof, if the filesystem guarantees that single-byte writes are atomic and that directory operations are synchronous. These guarantees are provided by fixed-block filesystems such as UFS and by journaling filesystems. Under Linux, make sure that all mail-handling filesystems are mounted with synchronous metadata. ie. semantics that local Unix filesystems are supposed to conform to (but which Reiserfs apparently doesn't). Does GFS? That's the question.. James.
smtproutes
I am planning to use smtproutes to route email from a qmail server to an internal Microsoft Exchange 5.5 server.

hint for MDaemon users
MDaemon has an option very similar to fetchmail's 'qvirtual' option (for stripping prefixes off Delivered-To lines). It's in the 'DomainPOP Mail Collection' config box, tab 'Processing'. Bottom box named 'Address Processing'. Tick first box ('Strip Text From Left') and enter text to be stripped in the textbox. Some of your customers may be interested in this. I now hacked my forward-wrapper to fix up DTLINE without the prefix, because some of our customers have severely broken mailers. Greetz, Peter.

qmail license
Hi, this might seem like a stupid question but I really *did* bother quite a while with the subject before asking here. Someone else asked me what exactly the qmail license ist about. So I was looking for "the license". I searched LWQ and google but everything I found is a statement about limitaions for qmail-distributors and DJB's opinion about licenses. Well, This does no have something to do with the qmail license, does it? Is there a statement anywhere on the aouthors website that grants the right to use qmail for any purpose as long as you just do not redistribute it? Is there a statement that qmail can be used free of charge? I did not fint a hint in "Running qmail" either (but there I might have overseen it). thanks for any explanation /ch

RE: is there a filter to scan message header and reject accordingly
You've assumed that I haven't already been there...I have...I've already looked at qmail-scanner and I'm afraid that the overhead will be too much on my system.

Is there a filter that I can use to scan incoming & outgoing message headers and reject messages based on pre-defined criteria (text string)? I want to deal with the W32/Hybris virus Thanks, Brian
rewriting outgoing remote mail
Hi ! I have installed an intranet qmail server on, say, foo.org ; and I want, for all the mail which is send to an Internet domain, for all the outgoing mail from the foo.org intranet domain, to rewrite the sender address from the intranet domain foo.org to the Internet domain foo.fr . Is it possible with the new qmail-inject from mess822 to rewrite the sender's domain name for the outgoing intranet mail to a valid Internet domain name ? Thanks for help ...

tcpserver can't find smtp port, formerly "can't connect to smtp"
Hi, When booting, this message gets sent to the console: tcpserver: fatal: unable to figure out port number for /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd Anyone know how to fix this? Or how to better diagnose the problem? Here is the command I use to start qmail-smtpd with tcpserver: # start qmtpd with tcpserver /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -u 2850 -g 32750 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd & and the tcp.smtp rules look like: 127.0.0.1:allow,RELAYCLIENT="" Thanks for any help.

You do not need to restart tcpserver to activate changes to /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb. However, you're not telling us what the problem is; from which IP you're connecting to the smtpd, or what the error message was, or what the logs say. Can you connect to port 25 on that machine? Can you send mail to a user local to that machine (via smtp)? Vince.
