Redudancy is the big issue, otherwise I'd go for RAID 1. The suits are pushing for RAID 5 because they don't know better - and won't listen. Why is RAID 5 and option if RAID 1+0 isn't? The latter only requires 4 drives in the minimum configuration. You can even do it with IDE drives using 3ware's IDE RAID controllers. John

How sending log messages in absence of Qmail or Sendmail?
Hello, On all my LAN , DMZ, ISP machine servers, I desintallating Sendmail (installed by default on RH6.2). I have a Qmail Relay machine in the DMZ and Qmail server in my LAN. Now, I have the problem to sent logs files, swatch, logcheck parsing, alerts,... from machines in the DMZ, LAN, ISP where Qmail is not installed. Some applications on the DMZ, ISP would be also able to send messages to me or user on the net . Somebody suggested me to install Sendmail but not as root or install Qmail on each machines. But, I don't need Sendmail on my machines due to security problems. My question is: how I can do this? how I can get messages from any machine in LAN, DMZ, ISP whitout installating Qmail on each?

Re: How sending log messages in absence of Qmail or Sendmail?
Hi, once I needed to create new users on a freebsd box, this users were already created on a SuSE linux box, where a qmail server is running. What I used to notify those users of their new accounts is a program called nmh, on OpenBSD and FreeBSD is at the ports tree, and of course you can compile it on linux. You can set an external mailserver in nmh conf file.

Clean out /var/qmail/queue/pid + send automatic reply
Hi, I'm a newbie qmail admin getting more and more enthousiastic about this MTA, even though I've just spent some time troubleshooting my first qmail problem after someone accidentally deleted a qmail user account and changed permissions on some directories. My mail system was suffering from a "451 qq trouble creating files in queue (#4.3.0)" message when receiving/trying to queue mail. I found a lot of people asking what this was all about all over the net, but no real solution to the problem. Well, I just want to add my own 0.02 $ by saying that it's all permissions and owner-related. I found the "make check" (which calls instcheck) from the build directory to be the most effective tool to find out where file ownerships and permissions have gone berserk. Note that usernames don't really matter for qmail, it's the userids that have to match ! Recreating a deleted account with a different userid doesn't solve things, you have to change the uid in /etc/passwd afterwards. I have two quick questions though: How can I clean out /var/qmail/queue/pid after an ungraceful shutduwn ? (you've guessed it, at some point I thought it would be useful to just kill -9 all qmail processes) I have no idea which files shouldn't be in that folder. [root@yuclnx1 queue-fix-1.4]# /var/qmail/bin/instcheck [root@yuclnx1 queue-fix-1.4]# /var/qmail/bin/qmail-lint [root@yuclnx1 queue-fix-1.4]# /var/qmail/bin/qmail-qsanity [root@yuclnx1 queue-fix-1.4]# /var/qmail/bin/queue-fix -N /var/qmail/queue/ Running in test mode, no changes will be made. Found files in /var/qmail/queue/pid that shouldn't be there. I will not remove them. You should consider checking it out. queue-fix finished... How do I find out what files to delete ? There are 151 files in the folder. Also, due to a domain name change, I need to implement the following: all people sending mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] should receive a reply saying that they should now use [EMAIL PROTECTED] I know it shouldn't be too difficult to redirect mail from @subdomain.domain.com to @domain.com, but our management really wants to have automated replies to the senders...

I remember seeing a notice that qmail was incompatible with reiserfs unless you patched the reiserfs sources. Never heard that. I've been using qmail over reiserfs for quite a long time now with kernel 2.2.17. What you had to do was to patch the kernel and fine-tune the qmail conf-* files before compile. But that's another story. Qmail works independent from underlaying filesystem (of course there are possible I/O bottlenecks and reliabylity problems but that's another issue). The just-released Linux kernel 2.4.1 includes support for reiserfs. So it seems you don't have to patch the kernel sources anymore :) Does anyone know if it is the patched version that works with qmail, or if it is the version that will be incompatible?

Hello, i have the following situation: +-+ | qmail 1.03| eth0 --| gemini.qad.org | | | ppp0 --| gemini.myip.org | +-+ My host should accept mails to gemini.qad.org as well as gemini.myip.org, because it is the same machine. What I did: I edited the configure files 'locals', 'rcpthosts' and 'virtualdomains' and wrote the additional hostname in there. The virtualdomains: tuebingen.mpg.de: gemini.myip.org: :alias-ppp But it appears like an urgly hack to me. Is there a better way to reach the needed functionality?

"zhonghua dai" [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Who can tell me what's the function substdio_feed for? It refills the buffer for the substdio argument. It is called when one of the input routines is called when there is no data left in the buffer. It's a bit confusing at first glance because DJB is using the n field as both an offset to the bytes remaining in the buffer and to indicate the size of the buffer. In substdio_feed, if s-p is 0, then s-n holds the size of the buffer. This double duty is why the byte_copyr is required at the end of substdio_feed, to ensure that the condition will hold the next time substdio_feed is called. Ian

Problem with qmail-scanner
Hi, Sorry my English, please. I'm happy with qmail and the users too. When i can add antivirus support with qmail-scanner, i fall in trouble.

Or you've configured a memory limit on qmail-smtpd that's too low. E.g., if you installed using LWQ, you have something like: exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 200 \ In /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run. Try making the 200 larger until the error goes away.

maildirsmtp interruption
I'm using maildirsmtp to route my outgoing mail through my ISP. Recently, I've had problems when the connection has died, mid-transmission. The mail is no longer in the /var/qmail/alias/pppdir maildir, all I have is the processes running, e.g. /usr/local/bin/maildirserial -b -t 1209600 -- /var/qm 1389 ttyp1S 0:00 /usr/local/bin/maildirserial -b -t 1209600 -- /var/qm 1390 ttyp1S 0:00 /usr/local/bin/serialsmtp alias-ppp- west Is there any way I can restart the send when the connection comes back up, or do I have to kill the processes and restart the whole procedure (i.e. re-compose and send the interrupted messages.) -- I'm Keyser Soze...No, I'm Keyser Soze.

qmail alias extension question.
Is it possible to have two mailinglist named like this? ~alias/.qmail-test ~alias/.qmail-test-foobar Now if I send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] it works, but if I send to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I get an error message back telling me "Sorry, no mailbox here by that name.

Mailing List Question
I'm considering a move to an ISP who uses qmail but before moving our business I have a question no one there can answer. We currently have five email newsletters that are served out by Lyris at out current ISP. I have an ASP page for subscribing to these newsletters that interfaces with Lyris. Does qmail Mailing List have the ability for me to do the same thing if I set up lists for the five newsletters? The documentation the ISP provided me doesn't show this information. Thanks.

Newbie: Which Dist Linux, Best?
I've been working for about 4 weeks now at setting up qmail on my RH 7.0 box. I'm somewhat new to linux (my real sys admin background is in WinNT, etc. - but I lost the desire to deal with their licensing schemes...) and I've given up on the RH dist for a number of reasons including the issues I have had with setting up qmail - dealing with xinitd vs. more typical "boot" scripts and other things I don't understand enough. I have access to pretty much any dist and wanted to know what the opinion is on the most recommended distribution... I've heard Debian, FreeBSD, etc in other areas, but wasn't sure. I intend this box to be super secure with qmail (for multiple domains) and bind/dns running, thus I don't want the frills of an Xwin sys or any added visual toys, or to run a telnet or ftp server. I have learned how to login remotely using SSH and that's about all I need. I am familiar with the RH shells and the way they (RH) have the sys set up, but I guess I could learn over with a different dist. I digress... Suggestions? Thanks, SF

Help! qmail-pop3d not liking maildir!!
Hi, I'm a new user to this list, and fairly new to qmail. I have searched the faq and the manual and couldn't find an answer to my problem. Here's the situation: I have 2 machines, almost identical. Both are (as far as I can tell) set up identically. 1 machine works perfectly. The other leaves a lot to be desired. Here is my setup: Maildir is the format. I have a user jdoe in the users home directory (/home/jdoe) the Maildir directory exists Under the Maildir directory, there are three sub directories: cur new tmp Email comes in fine and is thrown into new as it should be. I run: /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup test.notreal.com /bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir I log in with proper username and password. I issue a list command. It shows NO messages. I manually move the messages from new to cur, re-connect, re-issue a list request, and it shows all of the messages. If I run it on the other system that seems to be operating fine, it shows that there are messages in the new directory when there are messages there. I don't get the problem. According to the man files and everything else, it should show everything that is in new (and then proceed to go thru cur and clean up tmp after download). I don't know what the problem is. -Tony

RE: mail backup
Hello, Which mail directory are you referring to? /var/qmail? /var/spool/mail? ~user/Maildir? And what kind of trouble are you having? I am referring to ~user/Maildir. Some of the user use POP, and the other use IMAP. And, I assume that incoming mails store into ~/Maildir/new. My question is: if there are new coming mail storing into ~/Maildir/new while backup job is working, what problem is going to happen. If there is no problem, it means that those new coming mail is not backed up? Or, if there is some error, what are they? Does Amanda works fine?

It's the best mailing list software around, bar none, and it's specifically designed for qmail. ezmlm-idx is an add-on for ezmlm which adds a few features. It may already include a web interface for subscription/un-subscription requests, but I do not know that. If not, creating one is trivial. Just create a web page that submits to a CGI (in Python, Perl, or whatever you like -- could be done in PHP or ASP). The user fills in their email address and clicks "subscribe" or "unsubscribe". The CGI takes the address and reformats it as follows: Subscribe request: [EMAIL PROTECTED] = [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe request: [EMAIL PROTECTED] = [EMAIL PROTECTED] The CGI then injects the mail into the system. ezmlm will automatically send a confirmation mail to the user asking them to reply to be automatically subscribed/unsubscribed. It's that easy. We use precisely this method at the company I work for. The CGI is about a dozen lines of Perl, if that.
