percenthack
Hi, for a specifi application, I would need percenthack to work with qmail-ldap. I've first send my question to that list but got no answer, maybe somebody here can point me in the right direction. I have in my percenthack file (and in control/locals): testdomain.be Now when I sent a mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I see in the qmail-smtp logs it arrives ok (using LOGLEVEL of 3, which is an qmail-ldap feature) but in the qmail logfiles, I see the mail is trying to be delivered to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (mark the underscore). Now, can anybody tell me where that underscore comes from? Franky

RE: ANNOUNCE: qmail now works with the diet libc
Just wondering if this is the complete truth. I think most of the time memory isn't a problem but CPU is, and I don't see/know if this diet libc is decreasing CPU load. More concurrency leads to more memory usage but also to more CPU susage.

qmail and multiple MX records
Hi, I have a small question: if qmail sees an MX record with multiple IP's for the same domain, will it always use the same IP or will it do a random use of the IP's ? Thinking about djbdns, I know it is expected for this functionality to be in the client (here qmail) so I wonder ...

linux and reiserfs
Hi, I've two questions: 1) I'm planning on using qmail with Redhat linux for a high-load machine (hardware raid scsi disks). Now I don't want to know which linux is better, but I would like to know what extra tuning the operating system requires? Does hdparm can boost the HW raid I/O performance? Do I need to fiddle in the /proc VFS for file-max,inode-max and stuff? A guideline for getting the most out of qmail+linux would be great. 2) I've found many remarks on qmail and reiserfs, but nobody agrees on wether it's good or bad. So I won't start that here all over again but I would like to ask: does anybody use qmail+reiserfs on a high-load production machine? If so, what OS do you recommend and which extra patches to qmail do you suggest/apply? Is it running stable, can it survive crashes? How did you mount/created your reiserfs? Franky

Why does qmail not continiously keep 120 qmail-remote processes running? And from the moment I allowed smtp connections again, the number of qmail-remote never came above 20 again.

Hi all, I know tcpserver can limit the number of concurrent connections, but can t also limit the number of connections for a specific period of time for one ip adres, lets say 100 connections for an ip adres in 5 minutes? This to stop mailbombers and MS servers running wild (because of stray line errors...). For the moment I run through the tcpserver logfiles (for qmail-smtpd) myself to count the number of times an ip connected, and block it if it's higher than a specific number, but people can still do lots of stuff in 5 minutes... Maybe someone has already a patch for this? Franky

RE: ETRN, qmail-1.03 and etrn patch v0.1f
I've read the page about etrn, and I think the author made some mistakes (at least on his first page, I'm saying anything about the code). Maildir2smtp does NOT require a seperate queue to be created: you just let the mail be delivered at a normal mailbox, and when the person connects using POP3, maildir2smtp starts delivering mail to that ip address. This is a great advantage for when you're using dynamic ip addresses: you don't always know which ip address a client gets. This solution of etrn relies on the fact that all mail should stay in a queue. But why? In a maildir, you've much more control about the size (quota) and all, which I think is a feature many people appreciate. When mails stay in the queue, it can grow beyond your control and crash your own machine. So to summarize: use maildir2smtp, not etrn. -- From: Andrew Spencer[SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, March 17, 1999 9:44 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: ETRN, qmail-1.03 and etrn patch v0.1f This is the first time I've posted to the list, so if I've missed something, kindly let me know...

Only the exit codes from checkpassword are significant, and they are interpreted in qmail-popup.c Franky -- From: Jon Rust[SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, November 18, 1999 1:17 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: How to log the qmail-pop3d connection If you want username/password logging (including failed logins, with the bad password), Paul Gregg's implementation of checkpoppasswd does this. Obviously once they're logged in, it's under control of pop3d, so you won't get any thing beyond user and pass. Note that logging bad passwords could be considered a security risk. Here's an example, 1 succeed and 1 fail: Nov 17 15:21:03 mail0 checkpoppasswd: POP3 connect from unknown@localhost [127.0.0.1] Nov 17 15:21:03 mail0 checkpoppasswd: pop3checkpasswd: POP3 user jsmith : /var/qmail/popboxes/vcnet-/jsmith logged in from unknown@localhost [127.0.0.1] Nov 17 16:12:17 mail0 checkpoppasswd: POP3 connect from unknown@localhost [127.0.0.1] Nov 17 16:12:17 mail0 checkpoppasswd: pop3checkpasswd: FAILED: jsmith [jsmith] - password incorrect (bad_pass_here) from unknown@localhost [127.0.0.1] Find it at: http://www.tibus.net/pgregg/projects/ jon At 11:00 AM +1100 11/18/99, Marc-Adrian Napoli wrote: Hi all, Regarding pop-3d. Yea but the original post wanted to record cmd's, kinda like tcpservers -v option. Sure you can sniff and dump etc, but nothing built in (aka fool proof). I asked this question a while back, and found out that there is no way. :( tcpserver -v won't give you anything useful when running pop-3d. Therefore piping the output through splogger (and consequently syslog) gives you nothing, i am logging mail.* in syslog and get nothing. (i've tried!) The only way is for someone to edit some source code of pop-3d to spit out some info. (Or as mentioned, use tcpdump for this sort of thing.. but this will most definitely not giev useful information about incorrect passwords etc). Anyone already done this?
