Re: Load Balancing with qmail
Yes and no, well actually just yes but one option is easy the other is not. If you are talking about desktop clients where you manually can enter a hostname to use as SMTP server then it is easy. If you on the other hand mean to loadbalance your MX records that will be a bit tricky (or atleast expensive). Anyhow, to loadbalance yuor desktop clients all you need to do is setup DNS roundrobin for the SMTP host. DNS roundrobin is not perfect but will suffice for the most of us. MX records rarely need loadbalancing since you have the prefference setting in the MX record itself. If the most preffered server is "full" the sending host will simply pick the MX record with the second best prefference and so on. However if you really want _real_ loadbalancing I would recommend thirdparty software or hardware. /Martin On Wed, Feb 14, 2001 at 10:33:01AM +0300, Andrew Wafula mumbled: Hi, Is there any way one can do load balancing with qmail, i.e I have two machines both with qmail set up and running.

qmail compilation and optimization
Hi all, I've seen the standard qmail compilation flags are just "-O2". Does anybody tried any other level of optimization like "-O6... -fomit-frame-pointer... -DCPU=686..." ?

Best solution: after "make" simply copy the binary reformime (we don't need the other maildrop stuff at all) to /usr/local/bin/ (and do not do a "make install"). It will not interfere. Maildrop is just another mail delivery agent. You have to specifically tell qmail to use it. I use maildrop for all of my standard users.

Then, you can use maildrop's structured filter language to do server side filtering for the user or just deliver the message to the Maildir without filtering.

BUILDING THE VPASSWD.CDB FILE
Hi, I am all set to migrate 35 users to Qmail. I have created the users with dummy passwords and while injecting their original password noticed that it takes 3 hours to build the vpasswd.cdb file. After I have built the .cdb file , if I change the password for even a single user the .cdb file gets built again and worse it takes 3 hours to complete the process. The result a password change comes into effect only after 3 hours. Can someone substantiate if this is true (hopefully it shouldn't be !!). Secondly if I kill the process then the whole vpasswd file gets corrupt and I seem to have lost all the passwords for the 35 odd users. How do I solve this problem ?? My config as follows - Qmail-1.03 , vpopmail-4.9.6 and courier-imap.0.36a. My vpopmail config options were ./configure --enable-relay-clear-minutes=60 --enable-logging=y --enable-default-domain=qmailnv.maa.sify.net --enable-large-site=y --enable-roaming-users=y --enable-deliver-filter=y --enable-ip-alias-domains=y --enable-hardquota= 50 --enable-tcpserver-file= ~vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp while for courier-imap the options were ./configure --without-authldap --without-authmysql --without-authcram - with-authvchkpw.

How to set up qmail for several info@virtual.dom?
Hi all, I have read several docs but I haven't found the information (but I'm not sure if I understand everything right) to answer the following question ... so please can someone lend me a hand: I have set up a server to host several (virtual) domains. How can I tell qmail that mail for "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" has to be delivered to a different user than mail for "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"? I read some docs on how to setup qmail for handling mails for virtual domains but that docs said that mail for _all_ users of a particular domain is collected in a single mailbox (one single mailbox for each domain). But I want to have different accounts for e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED]" and "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" as well as "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". eg: [EMAIL PROTECTED] should go to dom-1-01 [EMAIL PROTECTED] should go to dom-1-02 [EMAIL PROTECTED] should go to dom-1-03 [EMAIL PROTECTED] should go to dom-2-01 [EMAIL PROTECTED] should go to dom-2-02 [EMAIL PROTECTED] should go to dom-2-03 Is that possible with qmail (I'm sure it is...)?

concurrency isn't growing up to the limit
Hello to everybody! I have two problems: 1) I'm using RedHat 6.2 with qmail-1.03+vpopmail+sqwebmail+courier-imap on an HP Netserver LH6000 w/ 2xPentium III Xeon 700MHz, 1GB RAM, 2 36GB 1rpm scsi-2 hdd in RAID1. I have raised values for /proc/sys/fs/file-max to 16384, /proc/sys/fs/inode-max to 65536 and, with ulimit, max user proc and max file size to unlimited. In /etc/rc.d/rc.local I raised tcpserver concurrency limit to 600 (POP and SMTP), /var/qmail/control/concurrencylocal is set to 40. Using postal to generate a smtp workload, I have obtained 4500messages/min (1KB size) as maximum value. (Postal runs on another machine connected via 10MB/s ethernet switch) During the tests I have verified, with qmail-qstat, that the number of messages in the queue grows enough fastly and that the concurrency-local does not exceed 10/40 (as visible in /var/log/maillog). During the test the free RAM remains around to 512MB and syslogd doesn't exceed 50% of cpu load. Now the question: why concurrency-local doesn't exceed 10/40? 2) Thinking that it can aid me resolve 10/40 concurrency problem, I've tried to apply big-todo.patch and big-concurrency.patch but I do not succeed. make setup check stops because concurrency limit is set greater than 255; the patch has set concurrency limit in qmail-spawn to 1000. The steps that I have followed are: tar xvzf qmail-1.03.tar.gz cd qmail-1.03 patch -p0 /tmp/big-todo.patch make setup check Where is the mistake? Thanks. Dario

Re: concurrency isn't growing up to the limit

Cheers Sean - Original Message - From: "Dario Dal Ben" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 14, 2001 8:29 AM Subject: concurrency isn't growing up to the limit Hello to everybody! I have two problems: 1) I'm using RedHat 6.2 with qmail-1.03+vpopmail+sqwebmail+courier-imap on an HP Netserver LH6000 w/ 2xPentium III Xeon 700MHz, 1GB RAM, 2 36GB 1rpm scsi-2 hdd in RAID1. I have raised values for /proc/sys/fs/file-max to 16384, /proc/sys/fs/inode-max to 65536 and, with ulimit, max user proc and max file size to unlimited. In /etc/rc.d/rc.local I raised tcpserver concurrency limit to 600 (POP and SMTP), /var/qmail/control/concurrencylocal is set to 40. Using postal to generate a smtp workload, I have obtained 4500messages/min (1KB size) as maximum value. (Postal runs on another machine connected via 10MB/s ethernet switch) During the tests I have verified, with qmail-qstat, that the number of messages in the queue grows enough fastly and that the concurrency-local does not exceed 10/40 (as visible in /var/log/maillog). During the test the free RAM remains around to 512MB and syslogd doesn't exceed 50% of cpu load. Now the question: why concurrency-local doesn't exceed 10/40? 2) Thinking that it can aid me resolve 10/40 concurrency problem, I've tried to apply big-todo.patch and big-concurrency.patch but I do not succeed. make setup check stops because concurrency limit is set greater than 255; the patch has set concurrency limit in qmail-spawn to 1000. The steps that I have followed are: tar xvzf qmail-1.03.tar.gz cd qmail-1.03 patch -p0 /tmp/big-todo.patch make setup check Where is the mistake? Thanks. Dario

Re: Empty Sender
"J.J.Gallardo" escribi:
Hi list:
I have this problem: one server running sendmail receives mail to a user. The
account isn't
local so sendmail try to inject to the destination MX host. The destination says
"user
unknown".
Sorry about this mail. Today I've readed RFC1123 and I know more about MTA, so i offer
to you
the most interesting:
5.2.9 Command Syntax: RFC-821 Section 4.1.2
The syntax shown in RFC-821 for the MAIL FROM: command omits the case of an empty
path: "MAIL
FROM: " (see RFC-821 Page 15). An empty reverse path MUST be supported.
5.3.3 Reliable Mail Receipt
...
If there is a delivery failure after acceptance of a message, the receiver-SMTP MUST
formulate
and mail a notification message. This notification MUST be sent using a null ("")
reverse
path in the envelope; see Section 3.6 of RFC-821. The recipient of this notification
SHOULD be
the address from the envelope return path (or the Return-Path: line). However, if
this address
is null (""), the receiver-SMTP MUST NOT send a notification. If the address is an
explicit
source route, it SHOULD be stripped down to its final hop.
All days are good for learn something.

Title: OnTheFly - Original Message - From: Rembrandt L Sent: Wednesday, February 14, 2001 9:40 AM Subject: Source of Anna Kournikova Virus admits... Welcome to OnTheFly! After receiving several e-mails from news-papers and news-channels I decided to write this letter. The Netherlands, 13 februari 2001 Dear Sir/Madam, I admit writing the virus. In this letter Id like you to know that I didnt do it for fun. Let me first tell you how I made this. As I have been reading on the internet all the time, I have made this virus with a Visual Basic Worm Generator, written by [K]Alamar. K. is NOT involved with this worm! I have been using this programm because I dont know any programming languages. About the targets Anna Kournikova: Just because I am a big fan of her. She deserves some attention, doesnt she?? www.DynaByte.nl: Just because I needed a site. A couple of days ago I bought something in that Dutch Ccomputershop and at the moment of writing that virus I had the receipt in front of me, on my desk. I never meant to harm the site (tell me if I did). Thats why I put the 29th of januari as the date of downloading the site. Im sure that the VBS/OnTheFly.a-virus is already stopped by then.. Some reasons Ok. This is the most important part of this press-letter. Last week I read an artikle about some research (www.idc.com) about the impact of the LoveLetter-virus. The title of that artikle says enough: IDC: internetters hebben niets geleerd van I Love You (wich means in English: Surfing people havent learned anything from the I Love You-virus) I think IDC is right. I also think that you agree with me, according to the rate of spreading .Maybe this is also Annas blame, she is so pretty..J Last thing Id like to say is that I never wanted to harm the people you opened the attachment. But after all: its their own fault they got infected with the AnnaKournikova virus, OnTheFly virus or watever they call it. To get rid of that virus, please visit the regular anti-virus sites. They all have some antdote right now. Sincerely, OnTheFly The Netherlands bg1.jpg

Recent flamage notwithstanding, I'd suggest running two instances of
qmail. The second one will be used for outgoing mail only. The
first, and primary, qmail will have a catch-all virtualdomain for all
the stuff that isn't for local recipients:
In /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains:
:alias-outgoing
In /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-outgoing-default:
|cat - /legalese-notice | /var/qmail-outgoing/bin/qmail-inject -f"${SENDER}"
|"${EXT2}@${HOST}"
(all that on one line, in case the line gets broken between you and
me). Well, this is the main principle anyway. Tweak to taste.

You could run /var/qmail2/bin/qmail-smtpd on a non-standard port, e.g., 2500, and tell him to configure his mail client to use port 2500. You could also configure your main tcpserver to listen to port 25 on the existing IP address (and 127.0.0.1) and set up another tcpserver on an aliased IP address dedicated to that client. Then you'd have to tell him to configure his mailer to that IP alias. Ok, this solution would work but isn't best... I't would block all my client traffic (even short - one recipient letters). I don't know the nature of your client(s) or their mail usage patterns, but if the offending messages are sent by a particular user, you could give that single person the alternative SMTP host or port. That would subject only that one person to waiting for the big delivery. If even that's not acceptable, that person can simply set up an alternative mail user configuration for the bulk sends--or simply reconfigure their SMTP server settings before and after sending a bulk message. Following this thread - is there possibility to check before sending mail to queue if it has more than (for example) 50 recipient it wolud be forwarded to this second qmail-queue. This would be ideal solution... There's tarpit patch which checks if there are no more recipients that number from control/tarpitcount file. Maybe it is possible to alter this patch to suit my needs... I mean without rewriting whole qmail :) Sure, it's a SMOP (Simple Matter Of Programming). -Dave

If you want to only allow relaying based on their envelope sender address, it's possible (look at qmail.org) but it isn't secure. A POP-before-SMTP solution such as relay-ctrl is much better here.

Now, in ~dom1 (that's the home directory for user dom1; that's given in the passwd file), the file .qmail-info will control what is done with email for [EMAIL PROTECTED] and in ~dom2, the file .qmail-info will control what is done with email for [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or you can use a virtual domains add-on package like vmailmgr or vpopmail to centralize control of the virtual addresses, if you prefer. For large complex setups I think the add-on is better. For smaller simpler setups (like mine with a a dozen or so domains and mostly a few dozen forwarding addresses in them) I find using users and .qmail files easier and clearer. Also very easy when I delagate a domain to somebody. Sorry for my bad english and thanks for helping ...

Newbie Help With MS Exchange Using qmail as Gateway

What I want is for our MS Exchange 4.0 server - don't worry, I'm replacing it :) - internet mail connector to grab email sitting on the qmail server through the firewall. I don't want qmail to try and automatically forward email through the firewall into the Exchange server and I don't want to create user accounts on the qmail server. I've almost read Running qmail, various docs and searched the email archives. There is a thread about qmail as a smart relay host for ms exchange, but it's not quite right. It looks like I need to setup a virtual domain for my real domain! For some reason I can't get my brain around creating a virtual domain for an exisiting, registered domain. Am I correct in this assumption?? Will creating a virtual domain hold all email for my domain until my exchange server can SMTP out the firewall to pick it all up?? On the topic of sending email, I'm a little confused. I think I need to relay all email from my domain out to the internet. cat amgt.com /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts sounds right, but I'm not sure. I don't want to accidently setup an open relay or have all outbound email trying to be sent back to the Exchange server.

remote/roaming pop/imap users - sending email?
Perhaps I misunderstand the description of blocking relaying as described in LWQ, so please bear with my question. (I'm reading: "Most single-user and small workgroup servers can disable relaying completely, but if you have to support a distributed user community, you'll need a way to allow your users, and only your users, to use your system as a relay. This is accomplished by using tcpserver to set the RELAYCLIENT environment variable, which tells qmail-smtpd to override the rcpthosts file. If you follow the installation instructions in this document, selective relaying will be enabled by default. To give a client relay access, add an entry to /etc/tcp.smtp like: IP address of client:allow,RELAYCLIENT="" and if I understand this correctly, if I know the IP of my clients, then I can allow them to relay messages without a problem. The issue for me, however, is that I need to allow relaying for mobile users dialing into the internet from national ISPs, thus usually ending up with different IPs each time they dial in.) I am setting up my server (FreeBSD 4.0, qmail-1.03, etc) to host a number of domains of which all of the users will be accessing their accounts via pop3 remotely. I want them to be able to authenticate, get mail or authenticate, send mail - i.e. as long as the person has authenticated, they can send mail to users other than on the host. The server is set up with mail going to a Maildir and already works for receiving mail from external domains. I already tried to deal with this with vmailmgr, but ran into roadblocks that go way beyond my ability to solve them - I couldn't get many of the necessary services for vmailmgr to work, and I was successful with simply using checkpassword. So, while I am finishing up the work on the server, could anyone give me some tips or point me in the direction of documentation that could help me in setting up such a service? I am specifically looking for information on pop access for remote/roaming users. Thanks, SF

Re: remote/roaming pop/imap users - sending email?
The issue for me, however, is that I need to allow relaying for mobile users dialing into the internet from national ISPs, thus usually ending up with different IPs each time they dial in.) The solution is simple, and often overlooked, and often asked on this list. Maybe somebody should write a "Life with email" document ;-) If they have dialin access through a "national ISP" then that ISP most certainly has a relaying SMTP server that they can designate in their MUA as their SMTP server. There is no reason on earth that they should have to relay back through the home office server, unless their ISP sucks. You do _NOT_ have to send outgoing mail through the machine that is your _INCOMING_ mail server! OK, there may be some clues in the mail header that the email was not sent from the home office, but who cares? These people are on the road! If they know how to configure a MUA than the return address will look OK and nobody will care or notice. --Pete

virus scanner for qmail install problems

RE: virus scanner for qmail install problems
Umm, never mind, I figured it out 5 mins after i sent this (duh) the qmail-smtpd-wrapper was ulimited to 1024, increasing this to 6000 fixed the error. sorry for the inconvenience.

Very nice. Very smooth, works well. Next I installed the qmail-scanner patch from http://qmail-scanner/sourceforge.net and problems arose. Other than that it's a straight qmail 1.03 problem When I send mail to an account I get Out of memory errors in the log (see below). Testing done so far. Works OK without the perl script in place so I'm pretty sure the qmail-queue patch is fine. basically I tested that assumption by setting QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue" export QMAILQUEUE instead of QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue.pl" export QMAILQUEUE in my qmail startup script. The start script is echo -n " qmail-smtpd" QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue.pl" export QMAILQUEUE supervise /var/supervise/qmail/smtpd tcpserver -v -x/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb \ -u$QMAILDUID -g$NOFILESGID 0 smtp \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd-wrapper 21 | setuser qmaill accustamp | \ setuser qmaill cyclog /var/log/qmail/smtpd Is there any more info out there on qmail-scanner or even other patches that will do the same thing?

Re: remote/roaming pop/imap users - sending email?
snip up with different IPs each time they dial in.) The solution is simple, and often overlooked, and often asked on this list. Maybe somebody should write a "Life with email" document ;-) If they have dialin access through a "national ISP" then that ISP most certainly has a relaying SMTP server that they can designate in their MUA as their SMTP server. There is no reason on earth that they should have to relay back through the home office server, unless their ISP sucks. You do _NOT_ have to send outgoing mail through the machine that is your _INCOMING_ mail server! Pete, Although I agree with your comments with regards to most of the clients (ATT Worldnet, for example, won't let you send through an SMTP server other than theirs...), the clincher is the fact that (what I so apparently left out...) for two of the domains in question the server is providing "mailhosting" for clients of mine (and it will probably grow to more). In other words, these clients will always be roaming/remote. So, I still need some way to authenticate these people so they can use the server as a "relay" server. SF
weird
Ok this is weird. I typed a new message in Outlook Express and forgot (doh!) to enter a recipient before clicking on send. Question: 1. why did qmail allow an empty recipient (or did outlook substituted something in there)? 2. where'd it go? 3. is there an option anywhere in qmail where i can tell it to stop accepting messages with blank recipients? TIA, M. Yu
