Bye Michael...




Does qmail-send rescan the queue when there are delivery failures, too?

2001-02-19 Thread Michael Maier

You know when qmail receives a Bounce it reinjects the Message in the
queue and then the queue is rescanned.
But what happens when there is a Delivery Failure and not a Bounce ?

2001-02-07 Thread Michael Maier

Someone knows why I get fatal: data 451 qq write error or disk full
(#4.3.0) ?
It comes after different Message Counts when sending via SMTP.
I think there is an Error in that qmail-smtpd. Any Solutions ?
Never seen that on Linux btw.

Sending 500,000 seperate Messages for www.payback.de (Service like
Paypal)
Where Users get personalized e-Mails and personalized Info.
For more Details www.flatfox.com should help.

What in my Situation is exactly.
The Messages are out of the todo queue. They should be sent out. But that
is too slow because
there are just so few qmail-remote Processes!!! They don't come up like
on Linux.
Just about 15-20. That's not much. On Linux it goes much higher.
And there appeared another Situation now. Because the queue Directory is
overloaded there are too many
fsyncs. But that is not the Main Issue because it's just the Effect of a
very overloaded queue.

The Disk is allright. But then if qmail-send is single threaded that's a very
big Bottleneck in the
complete Package slowing it down rapidely. This should be improved really!

qmail speed improvement

2001-02-01 Thread Michael Maier

Hi, I'm running qmail on Solaris 7 (SUN Netra T1) and I am trying to
send out 500.000 e-Mails for Testing.
I setup a Remote Concurrency of 400 and have queue Directory Split + Big
Todo Server Patches.
Why are there just average of 4 concurrent qmail-remote Processes ?
How to improve it ?

Thanks,
 Michael




Re: supervise fatal errors

2001-01-26 Thread Michael Maier

Just go into the affected Directories and delete those lock Files manually.
Because UFS Solaris is a bit laggy in I/O this Problem occurs when you
stop and start your qmail Programs too fast!

I am currently figuring out myself how to do it and yesterday I found a nice
Patch on qmail.org so qmail-remote can used fixed IP.
So what I would do is patching qmail and giving it a dedicated IP. After doing
that I would install snmp + mrtg for this IP.
After doing that it should be really no Problem to see which Bandwidth qmail
is using!

No, it hasn't a Mail Header in it.
I think maybe it will be solved by putting some additional random Chars in

Stress Test

2001-01-04 Thread Michael Maier

Hi People!
I was running the following Perl Script for Stress Test qmail:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl

use Thread;

my $addr = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"; # change to desired mail address!!

my $var1 = 100;
my $count = 0;
 for(my $a=0; $a<10; $a++)
 {
 my $ref = new Thread \&sendit;
lock &sendit;
  }

print "done.\n";

sub sendit{

for(my $x=0;$x<10; $x++){
system 'qmail-inject $addr < 50k.data';
}
}


But when I run it worked fine. 50k.data is a File with 50 KB Random
Data.
The e-Mails have not been send out.
So what I wanna know is if the qmail server blocks the Spam to that
Mailbox?
I really need to know where the Bottleneck is because I need to sendout
500.000 Mails in 36 hrs.

Thanks,
 Michael.

I don't think it's very wise to run out on different Lists. What we need

A 24/7 List which is highly available!
That can be only achieved with redundant Hardware.
As I said to Brett already it's in our Intresst to bring that new List
then into a high level based List which offers good Quality and
I've seen now those 2 List you mentioned here. They are not very fast.
What I can offer is a redundant System with 100 MBit switched Connection
(2,4 Gbit/sec Uplink).
I have seen Mestdagh has a nice Interface, too but I still don't like that
Threading System. It's a bit too complicated.
Why we don't share our Resources we have and think and setup a really good
List?
Thanks

Quality of this List

2000-12-05 Thread Michael Maier

The Quality of this List Service dramaticly decreased.
All I see are Messages containing Newbie Questions already solved about
at least ten times.
I'm flooded by Shit! What I have to say about this is if an Error
occures You should first type that Error Message in the Search Engine
www.google.com
And when there can be nothing found about that Error contact the List.
Isn't there a Way to setup an additional List for more advanced People
using qmail ?
It would be really a very big Afford. Thanks a lot Folks!

Got the same Problem because sendmail used /var/spool/mail/username
What I did was running qmail with Mailbox Format and then doing a symlink...
from /home/username/Mailbox to /var/spool/mail/username
for eg.
# ln -s /home/mmaier/Mailbox /var/spool/mail/mmaier
It's not the best Solution but worked for me very good with System Accounts.

There can be several Reasons.
1) check /etc/hosts.deny
2) check /etc/inetd.conf
3) there is something going wrong with your smtp daemon and it died
It could be no Firewall Problem because that would block completely...

in qmail root is not able to check mail for security reasons!
solve:
# echo youraccountname > /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-root
there is the same with .qmail-postmaster and .qmail-mailer-daemon

for me eg. works:
# echo mmaier > /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-root
# echo mmaier > /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-postmaster
# ln -s .qmail-postmaster /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-mailer-daemon

That's quite normal! You can use POP before SMTP Authentification so Virtual
Users must check their e-Mail first. A Program on your
Mail Server will then add the IP/Hostname to the List of People who are
allowed to relay through your Server. You can also open whole
Relay but that is not very wise because your Server will be listed then to the
different Relay Blocking Lists on the Internet. If you don't have
a Clue how to setup POP before SMTP
http://www.octlabs.de/linux/docu/qmail_howto.shtml can maybe help you. I have
written down there
how I installed my Mail Server with POP before SMTP Stuff.

In fact seems to be your checkpassword!
I'm using  http://www.whirlycott.com/phil/checkpoppasswd.c which you have to
compile with gcc -o checkpassword checkpoppasswd.c -lcrypt

To generate a Password use the following Perl Script...

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
print "Please enter a Word you wanna use as POP3 Password: ";
$pass=; chomp($pass);
print "Now enter a 2 Letter Salt Value: ";
$salt=; chomp($salt);
print "Generated Password is: "; print crypt($pass, $salt);
print "\n";

Hmm, if you place symlink and then move nothing should happen.
But to be sure I would wait until the queue is empty and then move so it's

Users must check before they can send out if your SMTP after POP3 works well!
Your Relay Control Programm will then add the IP of the Mail Client to the
Relaying Rules File.
An additional Help for the Users is that you edit the Error Message in
qmail-smtpd.c to one which tells them to check their Mail first before they can
send out any.
