newbie question with concurrency remote
I am running qmail on: RedHat 6.2 256 Mb Ram I set concurrency remote = 150... however, most of the time, it seems like only a handful of remote processes are running, even though the queue backs up (right now, over 14000 msgs in queue and only 20 remote processes running)... Anybody have an idea about how to force it to run faster or at least not kill off my qmail-remote processes? New to this list so hope I provided enough info.

RE: newbie question with concurrency remote
thanks for the tips Dave... to those that had replied: I had rebooted qmail (frequently)... I installed djbdns, killed splogger, and rebooted server things seem to be much better. -Original Message- From: Dave Sill [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, May 11, 2001 12:30 PM To: Qmail Mailing List Subject: Re: newbie question with concurrency remote "Michael Geier" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >I am running qmail on: > RedHat 6.2 > 256 Mb Ram > >I set concurrency remote = 150... > >however, most of the time, it seems like only a handful of remote processes >are running, even though the queue backs up (right now, over 14000 msgs in >queue and only 20 remote processes running)... Are you sure concurrencyremote is set to 150? You restarted qmail-send after changing it? The logs reflect the 150 setting? >Anybody have an idea about how to force it to run faster Faster disk More memory Faster network Replace syslog with multilog Install djbdns, run dnscache Kill non-qmail processes Faster CPU >or at least not kill off my qmail-remote processes?

This is exactly the kind of problem that causes people to get discouraged about installing new (and superior) software. They run into a problem and they get raked over the coals for a breach of interpreted "etiquette" when typing. Almost a dozen people wrote helpful emails without the need for blasting someone for the tool they use to send email from a "company-owned workstation". Ever think that I do not have a choice in the utility I am forced to use to receive my email at this workstation? Or maybe, that, along with some of the other options "my Outlook" offers me, I choose to use it since I am forced to use the M$ operating system to coexist with my workgroup... I tell you what...since you seem to be such a unix GOD, develop the following software so I can readily move my workload to unix: a graphics program capable of the same feats as Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and Macromedia Director a html development program with: code verification syntax verification and highlighting internal browsing of current state of document office suite that handles all current document forms including: Microsoft Lotus Corel and the ability to play UT within the same environment seamlessly... once YOU have done that, let me know so that I can bend over and kiss your ass. Until that time, grow a thicker skin. I never said the computer crashed. I insinuated that the process was crashing. A dozen other people understood what it meant...why didn't you? -Original Message- From: Felix von Leitner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, May 15, 2001 6:16 AM To: Qmail Mailing List Subject: Re: OT - Problems with daemontools 0.70 Thus spake Michael Geier ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): > does anyone know why this might be crashing??? Thanks for the help. Crist, since when do people have a email sending allowance who don't know the difference between "the compiler gave me an error message" and "my computer crashed"?! Go play with your Outlook somewhere else, willya? BTW: Coincidentally, you asked a FAQ.

Just so that everyone can see what a pathetic individual Felix is, here is his lovely retort to my email. I especially love his methodology for proving his superiority through the use of 4-letter words: > This is exactly the kind of problem that causes people to get discouraged > about installing new (and superior) software. They run into a problem and > they get raked over the coals for a breach of interpreted "etiquette" when > typing. Fuck Off And Die. People who are as stupid as you have no business installing software at all.

You don't have a workstation. You have a broken Windoze infested PC with tons of crapware on it. Nothing could be farther from a "workstation". > I tell you what...since you seem to be such a unix GOD, develop the > following software so I can readily move my workload to unix: Go Away. > a graphics program capable of the same feats as Adobe Photoshop, > Illustrator and Macromedia Director > a html development program with: > code verification > syntax verification and highlighting > internal browsing of current state of document > office suite that handles all current document forms including: > Microsoft > Lotus > Corel And I thought I had seen my share of pathetic lusers. > and the ability to play UT within the same environment seamlessly... > once YOU have done that, let me know so that I can bend over and kiss your > ass.

I understood what you meant. And I saw that your description was so wrong that you should not be handling a computer. Leave that to people with a brain.

Do you mean these address are on the command line or in the headers of the message? The difference is a lot more than "more or less". In fact the difference is critical. If the latter then you have a different problem from what I suggested. If the former, then change to the latter as that's the best way as you cannot normally increase the command line limits without kernel rebuilds. Regards. > command line.

RE: [OT] qmail & php
you must install php pre-qmail. PHP compiles with the sendmail executables and libraries. so: install os (w/sendmail) install php install qmail follow the qmail faq for linking to qmail executables change sendmail_path to "/var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject" in php.ini This is how I did it and it works great on a machine with big.concurrency patch and 400 remote processes. -Original Message- From: Gordon McDowall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, June 06, 2001 10:50 AM To: Bill Andersen; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [OT] qmail & php I have a machine with php and qmail on it, but I can't remember which I installed first ;o( I will put a php form script on if you like to test it - Original Message - From: "Bill Andersen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, June 06, 2001 3:28 PM Subject: [OT] qmail & php > When I installed qmail, I obviously removed sendmail.

getting more verbose error messages from qmail
preface: qmail 1.03 with big-concurrency multilog need: link to information (or information) on producing more verbose, or detailed information in qmail logs for error messages like #4.4.1 or #5.1.1 would like to see the email address the error is talking about in the logfile and would like to be able to customize my logs more appreciate all helpful responses --- Michael Geier CDM Sports, Inc. - Systems Administrator email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] phone: 314.991.1511 x 6505 pager: 314.318.9414

The php configure command Please quit spreading misinformation. PHP's mail() has nothing whatsoever to do with the IMAP library. ISTR that PHP has had problems with qmail's sendmail wrapper.

It appears to be because of a) legal troubles and b) the fact that Alan Brown has sold his ISP business. It is highly unlikely at this point that it will ever come back. It has been down, by the way, since early June. If you are still running rblsmtpd querying any of the ORBS lists, be warned: - The lists are no longer being maintained. The information in those list is *fast* becoming outdated; as time passes, you will be rejecting mail from more and more hosts that are not open relays. - The volunteers who provided DNS service to orbs.org are now seeing a significant increase in bandwidth usage because of the way the orbs lists were shut down. One of them has already turned to answering *every* ORBS request with an A and TXT record; this will lead to loss of _at least_ 1/10th of the mail at hosts still using ORBS. It is possible that others will start doing the same; in which case you will lose even more mail. Stop querying the ORBS lists; you're just wasting your own and others' resources. And if you switch to one of the other DNSBL's, please make sure you keep up with the various anti-spam forums. Most of these services are provided for free; making sure you don't waste the resources is the least you can do. Vince.
