Re: Flame Bait: Using Qmail as a front-line mail server
1. Is it possible to list the Qmail server as the primary MX record and still forward the mail to its final destination? All my research says no, but I need to be certain. Yes, use smtproutes. See the manual page for qmail-remote. Or create a ton of forwarding rules (.qmail for starters). qmail works as a great buffer between the internet and an Exchange server. * [EMAIL PROTECTED] - qmail box * qmail box looks up .qmail file for user * qmail forwards to [EMAIL PROTECTED] * corp.example.com is exchange and accepts mail for the user from corp.example.com * Exchange routes all outgoing mail to the qmail box as [EMAIL PROTECTED] * Exchange box is firewalled and boarded up and placed behind wallboard -sc -- Sean Chittenden PGP signature
Re: Sublist (Was: Virus-infected listmembers)
Robin, despite your flamy attitude and huge levels of intolerance, for the first time in recorded history, I think you have a valid point and I think I actually agree with you. Wilson's no more at fault than a poor hotmail user that gets nailed with a cross site scripting virus: what's the user to do? At the same time, the user should be faulted for using crappy software when better alternatives are out there (though not quite as feature complete, but let's not start that here). -sc What for? Wilson isn't the problem. The problem is that we're not in 92 anymore. What I'd like to see is a sublist that drops anything that isn't ASCII only and also everything that is sent with Windos MUAs. Wilson most definitely is the problem Wilson isn't the problem. Windows is. Outlook is. How can it be still sending virii for over 24 hours? Because the list owner seems not to take responsibility for losers. While that in itself is an honourable approach, it causes grief and anguish for the people not using Windows on this list. Wilson is a goon Wilson is a Windows user. That is the problem. Unless you can prove beyond reasonable doubt how one could re-create the software using $UNIX.

Re: Unsubscribing Problems
In order to avoid waking up tomorrow and downloading lots of some Brazilian idiot's 200k documents, I thought I would unsubscribe from the qmail list overnight. I've thought about doing the same... I sent an e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] , from the same IP, SMTP server, e-mail address etc. that I subscribed from (and double-checked the headers just in case) but got no reply. I tried qmail-help@ and even qmail-subscribe@ just to see, but still no reply. You only need the same from address. The server is pretty slow though, 8hrs is about how long it typically takes (YMMV). Any ideas? I'm just glad I have ADSL.. (a month ago, I would have been using a 28k dialup!). Am I being impatient - I have waited about half an hour? Wait some more.

Re: Solaris vs. Linux vs. FreeBSD
What's is the best OS for run Qmail (and/or Ezmlm)? What advantage and disadvantage has each one? I'll need send two millions mails per day and I don't know what hard can I buy? :) Solaris is slow to fork and qmail makes liberal use of that call, so solaris is out of the question. After that, it's close between FreeBSD and Linux. I'm pretty biased towards from FreeBSD because of its development environment and the thoughtfulness of their engineering team (Linux is pretty hackish). FreeBSD with softupdates turned on will give you the best performance and reliability though amongst the three options. Best of luck, but be careful, this smells like a troll. -sc -- Sean Chittenden PGP signature
Re: Solaris vs. Linux vs. FreeBSD
I understand that Free BSD and Linux are the overwhelming choices of the Internet pornography industry. That is a good technical figure of merit, because it means these servers are stable (for HTTP) when getting lots and lots of hits. Actually, Linux and FreeBSD are the systems of choice in startup porn companies because of their low cost. Once a company begins to move major traffic they find that low cost systems have too many limitations to handle what the leaders of the company want to do. This is when they use their new found wealth to buy Solaris. This is now officially a troll. So next time you see an installation for a porn site pushing over 300Mbps that's running Solaris, show me/tell me: I'll be amazed. Linux is what most startup porn joints use because they're new to the business and Linux has hype and media attention. Once the traffic gets up there, the traffic starts to exceed 60-120Mbps, then you'll see a switch from Linux to FreeBSD. In there somewhere you'll see them experiment with Solaris and watch it crumble and fail miserably in the Mbps / $ calculation. Solaris is good for running on redundant hardware where you can hot-swap anything out at any time to maintain real 24/7. Go back to your hobbit hole or email me and I'll setup a different list to talk about the merits of various operating systems that I've used in my day and the various installations/companies I've done work for. This thread is now officially dead unless resurrected on a different mailing list. -sc -- Sean Chittenden PGP signature

You have inetd already binding the port (25). Check your /etc/inetd.conf file (don't forget to hup the server) or to see if sendmail is running. You can check to see if there's something already binding on port 25 by using 'netstat' or 'netstat -na'. -sc On Wed, Mar 07, 2001 at 01:56:46PM -0500, Rob Hines Jr. wrote: Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mailing-List: contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]; run by ezmlm Precedence: bulk Delivered-To: mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wed, 07 Mar 2001 13:56:46 -0500 From: "Rob Hines Jr." [EMAIL PROTECTED] Organization: JobOptions.com Network X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.76 [en] (Windows NT 5.0; U) X-Accept-Language: en,pdf To: Qmail Mail List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: qmail smtp logs filling up Okay, I admit it, I'm stumped.

Re: Scalable Mail Solution
The short answer to the question about what would happen if 2.5 million users hit your PIII server at once. In a word: *poof* Bad things happen, little gremlins come out of the wood work and data starts to disappear. Check out: http://www.f5.com (f5 Load balancers are cool, Foundry also makes some good gear, I forget the URL) I highly recommend this! ArrowPoint looks really neat, but I've never used it (http://www.arrowpoint.com/). http://www.nthgencomp.com/ (Terabyte arrays) Very expensive, same with EMC, and Network Appliances. If you haven't budgeted for $1M (or some large portion thereof), then you may want to look at setting something close to the following up: Internet - BIG-IP - First row of MX servers that forward to a large number 2nd level mail servers using fastforward. All cdb files synced across the front row servers, built on a regular time interval (once a minute) from a database. - (use qmtp, qmqp if possible) Second row of MX servers w/ IMAP, pop3, web access, etc. that get user data off of an NFS server (use Maildir) format. Use a quasi-dynamic DNS setup (recommend TinyDNS) to figure out where to look for user Maildirs (username-host.mail.domain.com), and set the TTLs to 5 seconds. - NFS servers - work horses that do nothing but serve Maildir data via NFS w/ big raid drives. http://www.sun.com/ (Servers that won't blow up under that load and Terabyte arrays) http://www.freebsd.org/ Not to start anything, really, but I've run FreeBSD servers w/ an average load of 80-120 for years w/o them crashing or giving me problems (where a Solaris E450 box folded, put its tails between its legs, and walked away sniveling after days of configuration tweaks). Linux: nice. Sun: better. FreeBSD: arrived at Mecca. Motto: Design distributed with large numbers to scale quickly and cheaply. BIG-IP and FreeBSD are your friends. -sc -- Sean Chittenden[EMAIL PROTECTED] C665 A17F 9A56 286C 5CFB 1DEA 9F4F 5CEF 1EDD FAAD PGP signature
Re: Qmail could not send message/email
You're right that it's your /var partition: qmail is installed in /var/qmail by default. See where your space is going (du -d 1 -h /var/qmail). Your logs are also stored in /var/log, so there may be some space there. You only have 25MB of space (df -h), so you may want to delete (rm -f ...) a few things that are taking up space. If worst comes to worse, you could move qmail to the usr partition (mkdir /usr/qmail cp -Rp /var/qmail/* /usr rm -rf /var/qmail ln -s /usr/qmail /var/qmail). You may want to consider increasing the size of your /var partition (parted at: (http://freshmeat.net/redir/gnuparted/3543/url_homepage/). Hope that helps. -sc PS If you go the deleting route, just make sure you _avoid_ the rm -rf / On Wed, Feb 28, 2001 at 10:57:52AM +0700, The Afif wrote: Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mailing-List: contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]; run by ezmlm Precedence: bulk Delivered-To: mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wed, 28 Feb 2001 10:57:52 +0700 From: The Afif [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-Mailer: The Bat!
