Selective queue processing
Hi I have searched the archive for this, but only found someone asking the same question, but no answers. We have a server which acts as an smtp feed for customers using ISDN, is it possible to process the queue for a certain domain? ie if example.com are having problems with their ISDN and ask if we could process any messages they may have in the queue while they are on the phone (and online at that moment) do we need to send a doqueue command for the whole queue or can we specify 'doqueue example.com' I reckon you could do something it using serialmail, but it would be great if you could just add the domain to the doqueue command or something like that.

IsoQlog problems
Does anyone have isoqlog running consistantly? I have worked on this for quite awhile and think I have it narrowed down to the fact that I don't get enough traffic to make the ../send/current log file grow over 100k. Let me explain: I have installed isoqlog on several servers from very low to very high traffic. The high traffic sites seem to work fine, the low traffic sites don't work at all, and the medium traffic sites work once in awhile. (Sounds like the three bears story right?) Anyway, with all the testing I've done, it seems to be related to the ../send/current file not getting big enough. I have setup qmail using the LWQ doc and multilog. The author suggested I use splogger instead of multilog, but the LWQ doc says not to do that since it slows everything down. Since I only have trouble on the low traffic sites, would switching to splogger be a big problem? Where is this magic number of 100k for multilog? Can it be changed? - Gary

I see qmail happily sending just 3 messages, nothing more. I have had a similar problem. In my case as well, I had never seen a problem before Mailman because all my other local apps sent mail via usr/sbin/sendmail or qmail-inject, and qmail was configured never to relay.

Re: QMQP - mini qmail

Now I have /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run file for smtp server, can I run this and qmqp server at the same time so I would have another file at /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-qmqpd/run Yes. This would be on the QMQP server. 2. Is mini-qmail a different program from qmail, No, mini-qmail is a name DJB coined for qmail installations in which qmail-queue is replaced by a symbolic link to qmail-qmqpc. can they both exist. Yes, you have multiple qmail installations on a single system, one or more of which are mini. I want to use the mini-qmail to run huge mailing list since it sends 1000 mails in 10 seconds. All QMQP does is queue mail remotely. It doesn't deliver 1000 messages in 10 seconds to mailboxes, it just hands them off to a QMQP server which still has to deliver them the old-fashioned way: SMTP. 3. How do I create a symbolic links to /var/qmail/bin/sendmail from /usr/sbin/sendmail and /usr/lib/sendmail. rm /usr/sbin/sendmail /usr/lib/sendmail ln -s /var/qmail/bin/sendmail /usr/sbin /usr/lib But this is UNIX 101 stuff... And why do I need to do this?? Because sendmail is a de facto API used for injecting messages. If you don't replace it with a link to the qmail sendmail, you'll be delivering messages using sendmail. The way I see it, the only files that are missing is /var/qmail/control/qmqpservers - is this ip address of my server /var/qmail/control/idhost It's a list of the IP address(es) of one or more *remote* QMQP servers. I'm still confused. Is setting up mini-qmail like setting it up in different machine that doesn't have qmail installed or can I set up qmail and mini-qmail in the same machine. Mini-qmail is typically used on small end-user workstations that don't want to maintain a queue and run the long-lived qmail daemons. by me setting up qmqp server do I need to deactivate smtp server. No. -Dave

Others may point out that an observed weakness of the stock linux kernel from RH 6.1 has been shown to have weak NFS performance when compared to some of the BSD O/S family. If you feel comfortable recompiling your kernel, check out http://nfs.sourceforge.net/ The result was that the qmail machines were BARELY able to keep up. If there were any pauses on the NFS server, the POP sessions would build to 50-60 very quickly with qmail crashing at about 300 sessions. Once qmail exceeded about 70 sessions, it was beyond the point of return and would not recover. Have you thought about the stopgap measure of throttling down on the number of concurrent pop3 sessions each machine is allowed? Say you want to cap it at 50 total. Just use 50/n, where n is the number of client machines, as the max concurrency for tcpserver (-c). You can increase the client backlog so all the clients see is a pause (-b). http://cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp/tcpserver.html The NFS server was nothing special (P350/IDE 256Mb RAM). We also tried a Dell 2300 (Dual 400/RAID5) NT server running Intergraph NFS But the performance was abysmal! Performing an ls in a user/new directory took 21 seconds for a response. It will be tempting to throw more hardware at the problem. Depends on your budget. Right now, I like the the new DDR RAM chipsets for Athlon processors. I like the idea of 3ware hardware IDE RAID which looks like a SCSI controller to the system.

Setting up a second server..........
Hello all..

My first question is that should i change this to a routable ip address.I mean the 192.168.0.3 to be changed to 217.10.220... and also the ip from the second so i will see them from the net?

I used to do a lot of uucp with qmail and the best thing you can do is forget about rewriting and ! addresses. uucp does not insist on this, though it's as ingrained as many other myths surrounding mail (and dns). What uucp does do well is transfer a file and execute a command remotely - so conceptually one simple wants to transfer the email contents and run a command at the other end that injects it into qmail. The best thing to do is just use FQDN addresses and avoid all rewriting. There is some references to this on www.qmail.org and I'm sure much of this has been previously discussed and thus archived.

Maildir delivery problem

Backup mail server.
I accidentally deleted an email and couldn't find it on the qmail archives. The question is: What do I need to do for a backup mx record to store emails until the first mx comes back. I put the domain in rcpthosts, but not in locals, as I want it to store them until the first mx comes back. Was there anything else I needed to do, because it is bouncing the emails at the moment, giving a looping error?

qmail guru's
Having some strange qmail grief. I've installed qmail, then vpopmail and setup a couple of domains. Copied across some of the old config files (from a previous installation), and it's all looking fine. The next day, I have a look through the logs for qmail-send, and notice that there were a lot of: Temporary_error_on_maildir_delivery._(#4.3.0)/ messages appearing for a whole bunch of different users, in both domains. The maildirs are in the same spot they used to be : vpopmail/domains/domain.com/user/Maildir The domains were created using vadddomain, and the users created using vadduser (ie. i didn't try and copy the files from the old config). So that night... to make matters worse, I decided to get a little tricky with the default delivery locations, and changed the .qmail-postmaster .qmail-root files to point to user@domain rather than the directory location that they had up until this point pointed to. (was it then that Peter picked the pickled pepper?) Sometime this morning (ie. the morning after) qmail stopped accepting messages: Hi. This is the qmail-send program at gemini.faredge.com.au. I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses. This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

Re: IsoQlog problems
hi multilog rotates the logfiles after 100k per default. the isoqlogappend script only runs when the log rotates, so isoqlog has nothing to process if you call it before the log rotated. HUP'ing the log process actually rotates the log, so svc -h it before you run isoqlog and it should work. you could change the ssize parameter for multilog aswell, but somewhere in the isoqlog documentation it says, that this would break isoqlog... greetz hope it helps Flavio On Tue, 29 May 2001 09:39:45 -0400 Gary MacKay [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Does anyone have isoqlog running consistantly? I have worked on this for quite awhile and think I have it narrowed down to the fact that I don't get enough traffic to make the ../send/current log file grow over 100k. Let me explain: I have installed isoqlog on several servers from very low to very high traffic. The high traffic sites seem to work fine, the low traffic sites don't work at all, and the medium traffic sites work once in awhile. (Sounds like the three bears story right?) Anyway, with all the testing I've done, it seems to be related to the ../send/current file not getting big enough. I have setup qmail using the LWQ doc and multilog. The author suggested I use splogger instead of multilog, but the LWQ doc says not to do that since it slows everything down. Since I only have trouble on the low traffic sites, would switching to splogger be a big problem? Where is this magic number of 100k for multilog? Can it be changed? - Gary -- http://no-way.org/~fcu/

Re: /did_1+0+0/ meaning ?
qmailI don't know understand the message "/did_1+0+0/" in /var/log/syslog file when qmail success delivery Example: May 30 11:06:38 www2 qmail: 991191998.879928 delivery 9: success: /did_1+0+0/ It was discussed not so long ago, look for it in archives. ...next time. Now, I can tell you that it stands for (deliveries)+(forwards)+(program forwards). So, in the most simple case - like your example - it means that one local delivery has been successfully done.

All I get when I try to email my machine at [EMAIL PROTECTED]is messages from the mail daemon where I send it from saying that it can'tfind the address and will keep trying.

Either patch is successful on its own, but the second will fail with lots of rejects. Is there a solution? Probably both patches touch qmail-smtpd (I don't use either patch). It may be possible to apply by hand -- it's not tricky. However, if either one changes functionality that the other depends on, it's more a matter of rewriting one or both patches.
