Multilog log file size specification

[Alex Khanin]

I've read the manpage and it states you should use the ssize action,
So I put this in my /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-send/log/run:

#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/bin/setuidgid qmaill /usr/local/bin/multilog t
/backup/log/qmail ssize 50 nnum 50

That is ignored.

If I put it this way:

#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/bin/setuidgid qmaill /usr/local/bin/multilog t ssize
50 nnum 50 /backup/log/qmail

Then files are created with max size of around 3k instead of 500k.

What am I doing wrong?? Someone please help.

Thanks.

Bounce configuration QUESTION..

[Alex Khanin]

Ok.

lets say my mail server is  mailserver.domain.com, and i am an MX record
for subdomain.anotherdomain.com. I am wondering how would I set up
a bounce rule so that *@subdomain.anotherdomain.com will bounce to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] I don't want ANY mail to go through to the actual
users on the machine, so if I have a user on my mail server called "bob", I
dont want the mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] to go to the user
"bob" on my mailserver.domain.com, I want it also to bounce to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
How would I do it? Thanks.

First of all you can read the documentation, it explains how to use matchup.
Assuming your qmailanalog is in /usr/local/qmailanalog, check out
/usr/local/qmailanalog/doc/MATCHUP.

This is from MATCHUP:
=[begin]=

To remove the "Aug 1 05:30:08 host qmail:" added by syslogd, feed your
logs through

   awk '{$1="";$2="";$3="";$4="";$5="";print}'

Note that the syslog mechanism is inherently unreliable: it does not
guarantee that all messages will be logged. For reliable logs, try the
logging utilities in the daemontools package.

=[end]=

Enjoy.

example:

cat /var/log/maillog | awk '{$1="";$2="";$3="";$4="";$5="";print}' >
/tmp/maillog.new
cat /tmp/maillog.new | /usr/local/qmailanalog/bin/matchup >
/tmp/maillog.matchup
cat /tmp/maillog.matchup | /usr/local/qmailanalog/bin/zoverall

concurrency problems

[Alex Khanin]

im having a slight problem with my concurrency.
i set my max concurrency in conf-spawn file to 250, and compiled qmail.
after that i set the control/concurrencyremote file to 250. when i send out
about 30,000 messages, my concurrency only goes up to like 90, but
i check the load average and its not even 1.0 nor is my ram all gone.
the connection speed is very fast (t3), im running bind on the machine 
where qmail runs. i do not know where to look for the problem. could
someone recommend anything? thanks.

Re: unable to_establish_an_SMTP_connection

[Alex Khanin]

is nse-int.de in your control/locals and control/rcpthosts?
if not put it there, and restart qmail.

you need to use mutlilog from daemontools. 
ftp://ftp.innominate.org/pub/pape/djb/daemontools-0.70-man.tar.gz
it will be able to generate those log files for qmail-mrtg
to use.
