Re: [qmailtoaster] Migrating - Non MySQL to MySQL

I have built a new server using QmailToaster and need some ideas on how to migrate users, configs and domains from a previous version of Qmail NOT using MySQL to the new version with MySQL. You would have to do some experimenting. There's a program called /home/vpopmail/bin/dotqmail2valias that will convert the aliases to the MySQL format. The emails themselves would be moved over manually after creating the users in the new box - just drop them into the respective user's Maildir and everything should be fine. I'm not sure if there is an automated process for this or not, but with a little bit of elbow grease (or knuckle grease if you will), depending on how many users you have, could be done semi-easily. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I did restart the toaster after updating /var/qmail/control/locals so I'm going to request that GoDaddy releases their block on its IP and hope that it works. I snipped some out of your reply. No, I'm not understanding what you're asking I guess. Can we see what exactly the error from GoDaddy is? I ran DNS reports on my domain, and got this: *PASS* MX is host name, not IP OK. All of your MX records are host names (as opposed to IP addresses, which are not allowed in MX records). I have never had any problems sending to GoDaddy domains. I don't use their hosting service, but I do have several domains registered through them. I do have some clients that use their hosting service that I send emails to regularly, though. I did a dig on your email's domain (broadspire.com), and see that your MX records are actually on a psmtp.com domain. I had problems sending to a domain (sympatico.ca) since they actually use mail servers from a different domain (toip6.bellnexxia.net) and had to put static smtp routes on my end for it to work right (double DNS lookup error). - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

GoDaddy may be kicking the messages since when your server connects, it's sending: 220 *Welcome* to Qmail Toaster Ver. 1.2 smtp Server ESMTP Try changing the file /var/qmail/control/smtpgreeting from the default message (above) to your hostname (mail.whatever.com) and see if that maybe fixes it. It doesn't sound like GoDaddy is blocking your IP, just that your server is answering wrong. SMTP greetings (as far as I know) would respond in the same fashion regardless of sending/receiving emails. I might be wrong on this. I'll wait to see the error that GoDaddy is sending before I dig into this anymore. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[qmailtoaster] Configuring Qmail Toaster and Spam Assassin
Hi, Could anyone please tell me where is a good place to find config info / guides to configure Qmail Toaster. All the rpms have been installed now we need to configure the server. I'd like to have spam assassin settings on a per user basis instead ofdomain basisand a way of changing settings via command line,except I cannot find any config info or config files for spam assassin or simscan. Is there something I missed during install? What is the default setup for simscan and spam assassin? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Chris
RE: [qmailtoaster] Errors in SA

Re: [qmailtoaster] greylisting
I don't find that most of the spam comes in the way you describe. About 60% of my spam stopped just by rejecting all ip's from the Pacific Rim (not feasible for some providers)... then there are groups of ip's which servers are sending bulk messages to my users... So I limit the recips in the envelop and ban more blocks. The user problems I have are from my own infected users and rejecting my own users or dynamic ips is counter productive. Infected users send to the outgoing mailserver in their settings and the spam will just try again upon next login. --not a fan George - Original Message - From: Marius Karthaus [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: qmailtoaster-list@qmailtoaster.com Sent: Wednesday, December 14, 2005 4:28 AM Subject: [qmailtoaster] greylisting Hi, I was wondering if there were any plans to support greylisting. Greylisting is a wonderfull way of stopping spam and viri. In a nutshell greylisting gives an error to the sender of an email the first time the combination from, to, IP is encountered. A normal mailserver will retry a few minutes later, this second attempt is allowed and mail is accepted. After a few succesfull sessions the combination from, to, IP is whitelisted and consequent email will not be delayed. If a sender IP has shown that it did a few different good sessions this IP can be whitlisted also on the basis that this is probably a good mailserver, allowing all mail to be delivered from that IP. This works because most spam and virusses are sent by infected computers that do not behave like a 'normal' mailserver. Errors are ignored and there is no regard for the rfc on how to re-deliver temporarily failed mail. there is more to read on: http://greylisting.org/ http://projects.puremagic.com/greylisting/ Regards, Marius Karthaus - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[qmailtoaster] remove qmailtoaster script
Someone posted a script to remove an installation of qmail and I didn't notate the link. I have an installation on a test server I want to clear and then test with my new rpm versions ofapache 2.0.55/mysql 5.1/php (haven't built custom rpm for it yet). I've been slowly rebuilding the rpm's from source and installing on FC2 and would like to test with a clean install of qmailtoaster for functionality. Previously all this server was really doing was to scan for viruses and spam, then pass to the internal server for delivery. I have to move to a new datacenter in a couple of weeks and have to temporarily combine several servers together until I get theequipment from the old datacenter shipped to me. So does anyone have the link tothe remove scriptstill? George
