how to use qmail-queue
Hi everyone I'm still trying to utilize qmail with my web based mailing list. my ideas. 1. instead of using mail program /usr/sbin/sendmail I wanted to use /var/qmail/bin/qmail-qmtpd to send mail and it did not work. 2. Okay how about this, instead of sending these mails directly, I want to queue them first and send later. say I have 1000 emails in my mysql database, when I try to loop through the emails and trying to send the mails at the same time takes too long. I can't have everyone wait long time since the mailing stops when someone closes out the browser. so is there a way to just queue them and have it send on the back groud. does anyone know how to do this. Is there more documentation on qmail-queue. recap: instead directly trying to send mails, I would like to queue them initially and have qmail send mails in the back ground so no one has to wait to finish sending mails but just wait to finish queue them. thanks in advance --Sudong
direct connection to qmqp or qmtpd server
Hi Everone. Here's my next experiment and wondering if this is possible Everyone knows that we can connect to smtp server directly using telnet or simple socket connection script. Can I do the same for qmqp server or qmtpd server. If yes, is this better way to speed up the sending mail. If no, how come. thanks in advance Sudong Lee
do I need to log
Hi I'm wondering, do I really need to log anything. Is this must or is it extra for debugging purpose. I just feel that there would be much improvement with the sending mail if my cpu did not have to bother with logging every email that's leaving my mailer. I mean I have millions of junk emails which none of them are important at all. I'm kinda of newbie but can someone confirm that It's okay to get rip of qmail-smtpd/log/run thanks in advance Sudong Lee http://newbieportal.com
QMQP - mini qmail
Hi I already have qmail installed using qmail-smtpd and now I would like to setup mini-qmail with qmqp server. Need few clarification 1. tcpserver -x /etc/qmqp.cdb -u 7770 -g 2108 0 628 qmail-qmqpd I need to add this to the boot script. First I'm kinda confused. Now I have /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run file for smtp server, can I run this and qmqp server at the same time so I would have another file at /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-qmqpd/run 2. Is mini-qmail a different program from qmail, can they both exist. I want to use the mini-qmail to run huge mailing list since it sends 1000 mails in 10 seconds. 3. How do I create a symbolic links to /var/qmail/bin/sendmail from /usr/sbin/sendmail and /usr/lib/sendmail. And why do I need to do this?? The way I see it, the only files that are missing is /var/qmail/control/qmqpservers - is this ip address of my server /var/qmail/control/idhost I'm still confused. Is setting up mini-qmail like setting it up in different machine that doesn't have qmail installed or can I set up qmail and mini-qmail in the same machine. by me setting up qmqp server do I need to deactivate smtp server. Can some one give me some good knowledge here. I almost understand this stuff except I'm just not sure and would like some feedback before I start breaking my machine. :) All educational purpose. Thank you -- http://newbieportal.com
40 simultaneous qmail-smtpd
Hi I want to be sure about this I am trying to create a server to do just mailing. I installed the qmail and right now I'm trying to optimize it so it can handle huge amount of mailing which will be handle by ezmlm. My first question is about qmail-smtpd and qmail-qmtpd 1. what's the difference and which do you perfer. second question? 2. the faq states it like this tcpserver -u 7770 -g 2108 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd and to raise the limit to 400 use tcpserver -c 400 so will the final line be tcpserver -u 7770 -g 2108 -c 400 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd now my little program looks like this /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run #!/bin/sh QMAILDUID=`id -u qmaild` NOFILESGID=`id -g qmaild` exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 200 \ /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -H -R -v -p -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb \ -u $QMAILDUID -g $NOFILESGID 0 smtp rblsmtpd /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 21 I got this from qmail how to So should I just add ... -p -x -c 400 /etc ... Like that or does someone know for sure. Again, I am trying to build a machine to do nothing used for mailing lists. If anyone built a mailer and optimized it, can you share some info on which way is the best way to go. patches, or tuning any info would be nice. I read just about the whole qmail page but too much info and seems like there's many ways to confirgure this. qmail-smtpd and qmail-qmtpd can someone give me a quick run down on which is better for hosting huge lists. and why I should use one against the other?? Now, about syslog my /var/qmail/rc looks like this #!/bin/sh exec env - PATH=/var/qmail/bin:$PATH \ qmail-start '|dot-forward .forward |preline procmail' but want to use this Answer: Install daemontools (http://pobox.com/~djb/daemontools.html). Make a /var/log/qmail directory, owned by qmaill, mode 2700(What does this mean??(mode 2700). Do qmail-start ./Mailbox /usr/local/bin/accustamp \ | setuser qmaill /usr/local/bin/cyclog /var/log/qmail in /var/qmail/rc. If you are logging tcpserver connections, make a /var/log/smtpd directory, and use cyclog /var/log/smtpd for tcpserver. You shouldn't run several copies of cyclog with the same log directory. By default, cyclog keeps 10 automatically rotated log files, each containing up to 100KB of log data. To keep 20 files with 1MB each, use cyclog -s 100 -n 20. I already have tcpserver running but don't get this cyclog stuff. I have /var/log/qmail/qmail-smtpd directory already. Anyways, if all these make sense to someone please help me. I have pIII 600mhz, 128mb ram, 9G scsi server under linux 7.0 would really like this server to handle 10 million emails per day(little exaggeration). Is this possible. I'm also using djbdns and using local cache. and want to implement cdb database somehow. -- http://newbieportal.com
