[qmailtoaster] qtp-newmodel for fresh install
Hi. I have a new CentOS 5.2 installation. I have attempted to use qtp- newmodel to do a fresh install of qmail toaster. There was a recent thread on the list asking about this although it was never resolved whether it was possible or not. I have done it. The builds failed at numerous places due to missing dependencies, but once everything needed was installed qtp-newmodel appears to have built and installed qmail toaster successfully. Very cool. My one problem is that mysql was not configured for vpopmail (no vpopmail user; no vpopmail database) so I can't add any domains. If I try to do /home/vpopmail/ bin/vadddomain I get: Error - no authentication database connection. Initial open. (obviously, since MySQL doesn't have the user/database!) Any suggestions on the best way to make the vpopmail user and database in mysql? I have another installation I could just copy by hand, but is there something I could just run that would make everything? MySQL was not running when I installed via qtp-newmodel. Would qtp- newmodel have made the database and mysql user if MySQL had been running? If so, can I just uninstall qmailtoaster and install it again with qtp-newmodel (and MySQL running this time?) If so, what is the best way to do this? I can't find anything on the wiki about uninstalling.

Re: [qmailtoaster] qtp-newmodel for fresh install
You only need to run the script that make the database I always used the newmodel for fresh installs, but be attentive at clamav it tends not to install correctly, maybe this version is working ok using newmodel Regards, Lucian Jim Bassett wrote: Hi.

RE: [qmailtoaster] qtp-newmodel for fresh install
I ran in to the same issue - I think this will fix it... Run the following as root on your mysql server: create database vpopmail; grant all on vpopmail.* to 'vpopmail'@'localhost' identified by 'yourpasswordhere'; flush privileges; Then, from the FAQ: Change the /home/vpopmail/etc/vpopmail.mysql file with your new password, from your favorite editor.

Squirrelmail parameters are in the /etc/squirrelmain directory. The config.php file contains base (stock) package parameters. You can make modifications in the config_local.php file. Looks like $domain might be what you're looking for.

Re: [qmailtoaster] qtp-newmodel for fresh install
Hey thanks, that worked. I thought I had to recreate the specific tables too, but it looks like that gets taken care of for you as long as you have the user and database in MySQL. Super easy.

Re: [qmailtoaster] qtp-newmodel for fresh install
Lucian, Let me know the next time you have a problem with newmodel and clamav, and I'll see about fixing it. You can always create a ticket at qtp.qmailtoaster.com too. ;) Lucian Cristian wrote: You only need to run the script that make the database I always used the newmodel for fresh installs, but be attentive at clamav it tends not to install correctly, maybe this version is working ok using newmodel Regards, Lucian Jim Bassett wrote: Hi.

[qmailtoaster] yahoo deferrals fix
I am having major issues with all outgoing emails to yahoo being deferred. Have filled out all the postmaster forms and installed domain keys to no avail. Yahoo really sucks... As a temporary fix, I have added a qmailctl doqueue cron task to run every minute To try to create more attempts and get the mails delivered. It seems to be working but I wonder what the pitfalls are here at higher loads... Am I playing with fire here?

AOL will keep en eye on your redelivery attempts for deferred messages and score you higher and eventually block you if you attempt too many deliveries in a specific timeframe. In my experience, when you employ domainkeys you need to have them in DNS for 10-15 days before Yahoo will start to pick them up. DKIM takes 2-7 days as well. I also have 2 Yahoo accounts that I will send mail to for new servers and when they come in make sure they're not marked as spam and add addresses to the contact list - this gets them whitelist preference from what I've seen. Also check your SPF records. They should also be giving you a message when they defer you. - QmailToaster hosted by: VR Hosted http://www.vr.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: [qmailtoaster] yahoo deferrals fix
Thanks Jake, you rule. My SPF records checkout, I have been manually running doqueue just to clear get the mail delivered. I have no problems with AOL. I will try the yahoo account method thanks! I am getting the typical 421 deferred message over and over again. Eventually the messages go through if I continue to flush the queue, But if I leave it alone a lot of them time out the next day and I get the NDR from my box. -- Sincerely, Paul Heard -Original Message- From: Jake Vickers [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 25, 2008 7:24 PM To: qmailtoaster-list@qmailtoaster.com Subject: Re: [qmailtoaster] yahoo deferrals fix Paul Heard wrote: I am having major issues with all outgoing emails to yahoo being deferred.

Qmail will attempt to redeliver the message every 5 minutes until queuelifetime is met, so it should eventually make it out. I am just warning you that Yahoo may treat your behavior like AOL would. Yahoo also has a guilty-until-proven-innocent policy on email. In there deferred messages there should be a link in there that explains why you were deferred.

RE: [qmailtoaster] yahoo deferrals fix
Hi Jake, Not sure why qmail is not succeeding in the 5 minute retries. I have my contacts in my yahoo account I just checked. They have been in there for weeks, still not whitelisted. I will create a few more accounts to see if it helps... I have filled out the postmaster forms at yahoo at least a half dozen times, Still no help on their end. The link in the smtp message is to the typical; http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/defer/defer-06.html which resolves to http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/postmaster/postmaster-22.html Yahoo is a clown show... I am not sending any bulk mailings, Purely 1-1 correspondence for my clients. It's ridiculous. -- Sincerely, Paul Heard -Original Message- From: Jake Vickers [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 25, 2008 7:43 PM To: qmailtoaster-list@qmailtoaster.com Subject: Re: [qmailtoaster] yahoo deferrals fix Paul Heard wrote: Thanks Jake, you rule.
