Re: qmailanalog + tai64
Hi. # echo "986221654.952383500" | ./tailocal 2001-04-02 15:27:34.952383500 And where can I find this tailocal? I just have tai64nlocal. Is it part of a previous version of ucspi-tcp? BTW: The input format is something like d d 986225876.348359500 986225876.369300500 986225876.381710500 bla bla bla Martin
Send retries
Hi. When and how often tries qmail to resend a mail to a specific recipient after a delivery failure? I already have found this information some time ago, but now I cannot find it again. It was something like after 4 hours, after 9 hours, after 1 day (and so on...) Where can I find this information? Martin
VERP
*This message was transferred with a trial version of CommuniGate(tm) Pro* Hi. In several places I was reading about the "VERP (Variable Envelope Return Path)" feature of qmail. Unfortunately, I didn't find any information about how to use this feature. I have an application, which is communicating directly via SMTP with qmail. As I am sending to huge lists (up to 28000 recipients) I would like to use VERP. Martin
Restriction of recipients
*This message was transferred with a trial version of CommuniGate(tm) Pro* Hi. Is there a known restriction in the amount of recipients that qmail can handle? We use qmail to deploy mails to several thousand of mailing lists. Some of those lists have 3+ subscribers. With some test, we discovered the following: - sending a mail to 15400 recipients (each address has 32 characters) works fine - sending the same mail to 15800 recipients (each address has 32 characters) fails with these error messages of our client software: "Can't send command to SMTP host", "socket write error (code=10053)" - sending the same mail to1 recipients (each address has 70 characters) fails When we send our test-mail to a different mail server (tested with CommuniGatePro) to 10 recipients, everything works fine. It looks, like if there is a buffer overflow in qmail, caused by "recipients * length of address". Is there a patch to extend this buffer? Martin
Timezone
Hi. We are using qmail on Sun Solaris 7. When we are sending mails, the header of them is looking like this: -- Received: from a.b.c (mailsrvr [192.168.230.23]) by email.tiscon.de (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id MAA03719 for [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Thu, 20 Jan 2000 12:58:04 +0100 Received: (qmail 11852 invoked from network); 20 Jan 2000 11:55:06 - Received: from b.b.c (HELO websrvr) (192.168.230.22) by a.b.c with SMTP; 20 Jan 2000 11:55:06 - Date: Thu, 20 Jan 2000 12:57:25 +0100 (GMT+01:00) -- The "Date" field is set correctly, our email server "email.tiscon.de" is setting the time correctly (12:58:04 +0100), but qmail is setting the time to "11:55:06 -". How can we instruct qmail to insert the correct time and timezone? BTW: We are in Europe/Berlin, so +0100 is correct. Martin
Managing mailing lists
Hi.
We are using qmail to deploy mails for several thousands of mailing list.
Each of these lists has between 1 and 12000 users.
We create the messages in an application and we set the "to"-field to the
mailing list name, "from" to the name of the author of the mail. "reply-to"
is being set to the name of the mailing list.
e.g. From: Martin Renner [EMAIL PROTECTED]
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Now we have the problem that some replies of our users are going to
"m.renner", some others go to "mailinglist". Is it possible that some email
clients ignore the value of "reply-to" and that they always send to the
"from"-address?
Another problem is, that the original author of the email (m.renner) is
getting all the error mails from qmail ("failure notice", "This is the
qmail-send program [...] could not deliver to the following 200
addresses..."). We want that qmail (and all the other MTAs which qmail is
contacting) will send their error messages to
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]". How can we achieve this? Setting the
"return-path" (as described in RFC822) is not working, because qmail (?) is
replacing the "return-path" with the value from the "from"-address.
