Re: client is blocking my mail server...
W dniu Wed, Feb 14, 2001 at 01:35:17PM -0500, Dave Sill wystuka(a): 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 This is some sort of info/newsletter and it happens to be big (500KB message), it's why it's a problem for us.

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).

Load Testing on QMAIL
Hi, I have setup a qmail box running qmail-1.03,vpopmail-4.9.6,courier-imap-0.36a. The authentication method is mysql. I have more than 2 million users. Before I move from my existing setup - I would like to be absolutely sure qmail can take this load. Are there many of you running qmail for more than 2 million users. How can I do the load testing (some load testing tools to the effect ! ) to confirm that my box will perform under maximum load ? Also what would be the ideal IMAP connects that I would need to setup as threshold - in my current setup we have about 500-600 simultaneous imap connects ! Can courier-imap take this load ? Raghu

AMaViS + Dropping VBS Files
Hi All, Two questions. Firstly, I am running amavis with qmail successfully for roughly 15 POP3/SMTP users in the office, and all works great. However, occasionally I need to send upwards of 2 emails from the machine to a mailing list, and I don't need or want those to be virus checked. To send these mailshots I use PHP, and its mail() command, which I assume calls the sendmail wrapper. Is there any way of pointing the sendmail wrapper to the original qmail-send command (which I have renamed as qmail-send-old)? Will this have the desired affect? Secondly, is there a 'quick + easy' way of dropping attachments that are VBS files (or at least end in .vbs) with qmail? I can just see one of our users getting caught out by the next one.. Thanks in advance, John

Re: Error 4.4.1
From: "Dr. Georg Bohnert" [EMAIL PROTECTED] there are to error messages in the log files: error message1: could not establish smtp connection (#4.4.1) The error message means what it says: qmail is unable to establish a TCP connection with the server at the receiving end. Try to telnet to the SMTP port of the server at the receiving end: telnet mailserver.domain.com 25 You should see an SMTP greeting from the other server. If you receive some sort of time out error, and you cannot connect to the receiving server, there is something "wrong" with the network: check routing possible filtering/firewalling of packets. If you can reach port 25 of the receiving server, read on... error message2: could not bind, address already in use? This leads me to believe that your qmail cannot open the socket on port 25 of your host to start listening on it. See the posts from other listmembers.

I'm exploring moving away from our current sendmail solution to one based on qmail (mainly because of ease and mysql support). One of the requirements for a new solution is the ability to forward everything from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to our corporate web server, i.e. anything that looks like *.*@cais.com needs to go to @foo.cais.com.

Two easy questions.
1) It seems like qmail has been in the same version for years now. Is this because it needs no further development or no one is working on it any more? 2) I need to have a php or perl script filter through all incoming messages to a specific domain rather than it just doing the default delivery method. Is this possible? If so, how? TIA, .:: Nathan Cook [ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ] ::. PCS Edventures.com Systems Network Administrator :: Programmer

Is this possible? If so, how? From qmail-queue.patch: Appended is a patch to qmail-1.03 that causes any program that would run qmail-queue to look for an environment variable QMAILQUEUE. If it is present, it is used in place of the string "bin/qmail-queue" when running qmail-queue. This could be used, for example, to add a program into the qmail-smtpd-qmail-queue pipeline that could do filtering, rewrite broken headers, etc. (this is my planned usage for it).

It's hard to come up with numbers if you just say "active", but I'll take a stab at it. Generally, qmail doesn't require a whole lot of resources. A qmail server running on a simple Pentium 166 with an IDE disk can easily handle 100,000 messages a day. If you get up into the millions of messages a day, you'll probably want to look at tuning qmail appropriately, running the queue on it's own fast SCSI disk, putting logs on a separate disk, etc. Charles -- --- Charles Cazabon[EMAIL PROTECTED] GPL'ed software available at: http://www.qcc.sk.ca/~charlesc/software/ Any opinions expressed are just that -- my opinions. ---
SUMMARY(PARTIAL): tcpserver use of -B

I am not sure where the problem lies, but after a while it seems that the queue on the Win2K system just keeps building up and not sending after a while.

RE: forwarding only certain mail to a domain
let me steal from another post by pawel garbowski ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) From qmail-queue.patch: Appended is a patch to qmail-1.03 that causes any program that would run qmail-queue to look for an environment variable QMAILQUEUE. If it is present, it is used in place of the string "bin/qmail-queue" when running qmail-queue. This could be used, for example, to add a program into the qmail-smtpd-qmail-queue pipeline that could do filtering, rewrite broken headers, etc. (this is my planned usage for it).

scaling for temporary high loads
Once a month, I send a newsletter to approx. 350k subscribers. The newsletters are 15-20 kb each. I've had some not-so-convenient approaches to this earlier, but I'd like to start using our Sun Ultra5 (Solaris 7) with qmail (patched with big-todo and big-concurrency) and ezmlm for this job. As long as I can get most of the messages delivered within 24 hrs, I'll be a happy little camper.

multiple names - one pop3d server
I have a qmail server which is also running qmail-pop3d. We recently registered a second domain name, and I would like the existing server to handle both the old and new names (the new one is significantly shorter - which makes it easier for our users!). This is not a virtual hosting situation - simply 2 names for the same box. Configuring SMTP (control/rcpthosts and control/locals) was not a problem. The server will now accept and correctly deliver messages addressed to the new domain. POP is a problem. When I try to telnet on port 110 to the new name, I get a "could not open connection message" (DNS is OK). I'm guessing that the solution is to change my startup script from this: tcpserver -v -R -H -c75 0 110 \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup ORIGINAL.NAME \ /bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 21 | \ /usr/local/bin/multilog t s100 n20 /var/log/pop3 to this: tcpserver -v -R -H -c75 0 110 \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup ORIGINAL.NAME NEW.NAME \ /bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 21 | \ /usr/local/bin/multilog t s100 n20 /var/log/pop3 Could anyone confirm that or point me in the right direction?

Re: Error 4.4.1
From: "Dr. Georg Bohnert" [EMAIL PROTECTED] there are to error messages in the log files: error message1: could not establish smtp connection (#4.4.1) you are right, i can get no telnet and also no smtp connection to the mail server but ftp works quite well. do you think that the firewall on the mx-server in our LAN is responsiple for this behaviour? Is it possible to configure qmail to relay mail to the mx-server and not any further? the command netstat -nlp indicates that qmail-tcpserver is listening on port 25 (sendmail is removed via Yast) Since you are able to ftp to the machine, routing appears to be ok between the two machines, and that indeed something is filtering out your connection attempts. Your best bet would be to contact the person in charge of the firewall and als him to change the config. It's perfectly possible to have qmail relay to another server. Note that - since there is some packet filtering going on on your network - you may also have to ask the firewall guy to make sure that your qmail server's port 25 is accessible to any other server you want connecting to your system. From what I understand, qmail is running correctly on your system. You could try connecting to it via telnet localhost 25, or from a computer on the same LAN just to make sure. -Filip

Envelope extraction on high-volume site
We currently manage a qmail setup with close to 1 million virtual accounts handling 3+ million incomming messages daily. Everything if fully redudant (minimum of 3 servers for everything) having several SMTP, POP, IMAP, SQL, LDAP and NFS servers all hooked up via fiber connections. This setup works great and handles the load great but several of our customers have lately been complaining about the speed of mailbox access. We have narrowed the problem down to the amount of time needed to extract the headers from thousands of messages stored within a single folder. One customer has 2gigs of mail and it is taking more then 10 minutes to generate data for the headers request. (telling them to delete some is _NOT_ a valid responce) This message was written to see if there is currently a project underway (or to compile a listing of ideas for such a beast) to integrate an envelope (meaning user_delivered_to, folder, to, cc, from, subject, size, delivery date, attachments flag [yes/no], normal maildir flags) extraction "subservice" into qmail. This would also need to tie into both POP and IMAP to maintain it. It should update a SQL database with the envelope information for each and every message delivered localy. If POP or IMAP does anything, this should also be reflected in the SQL database. If they need to do sorts or listings, they should do so via the database (unless it is eaiser and faster to do it by its self). The reason I would like to see this information extracted is primarly do to a propritary webmail infastructure being developed. It is much faster for us to issue SQL commands to generate listings then IMAP or POP commnads. I relize that this will make a mess when it comes to sync'ing everything but I am unable to think of a better way to approach this. I would like to hear what you think reguarding this matter. Do you have a different approach: tell me. Do you know of a way of doing this: tell me. I really do want to hear from you. Mike

Hi all,I was never fully comfortable with Sendmail so I've decidedto go with Qmail 1.03 ... I've followed the instructions in the .pdfdocumentation and have everything setup ok . I am not so sure about the POP3 bit . Thus far i had been usingthe default pop3 daemon thru inetd . Two quick questions :i) What POP3 daemon should i use ? [ Mbox OR Maildir ]ii) Usermail directories are in /var/spool/mail ...SOWhat can i do, so that i do not lose any existing mail ?A slightly detailed reply would be very welcome.SincerelyAnurag
