Re: [qmailtoaster] QmailToaster with LDAP
Eric Shubert wrote: Wait a minute. I might be going to sound like an idiot here, but I'll take that chance. LDAP is a protocol, not an implementation.

I guess it'd be a matter of mapping the database schemas together somehow.

Re: [qmailtoaster] I'm stuck while setting a Intranet mail server
Well, deviating from the topic that I luckily solved with your help, I just checked eGroupware, and I was amazed at how user friendly it is actually. Our service focus is for employees with a basic computing knowledge, which with luck can manage word processors and spreadsheets, so we think that we need an easy to use package... We don't want to go around teaching them to use Outlook/Thunderbird. I'll try it tomorrow (sometimes I feel like a kid in a candy factory when I'm (sort of, and pretty badly) sysadmin-ing a server), and let you know how everything went. I would actually love to see a egroupware-toaster package. Wouldn't be too hard to arrange, maybe setting some defaults (like IMAP authentication)... If I can be of help, I'll be here.

Ok, thanks... Could be a nice feature to add the option to install *qmail-scanner ***with clamav, spamassassin and QmailToaster. I'm sure you can install qmail-scanner and integrate with QmailToaster -- has anyone tried? http://qmail-scanner.sourceforge.net/ Looks like it's configured to run with Qmail 1.03 or Netqmail 1.05...

I have installed QmailToaster-Plus and it does have some nice features that I will use. However, the tail of the old qmailscan looks like this: Wed, 01 Jul 2009 19:48:22 PDT:16875: +++ starting debugging for process 16875 (ppid=16874) by uid=508 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 19:48:25 PDT:16875: w_c: elapsed time from start 2.973005 secs Wed, 01 Jul 2009 19:48:25 PDT:16875: return-path='men...@domain.com', recips='men...@domain.com' Wed, 01 Jul 2009 19:48:25 PDT:16875: from='Viagra Inc. men...@domain.com', subj='Dear men...@domain.com 2.7.2009 80% 0FF on Pfizer.', via SMTP from 84.127.222.54 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 19:48:25 PDT:16875: clamdscan: finished scan in 0.018441 secs Wed, 01 Jul 2009 19:48:27 PDT:16875: SA: yup, this smells like SPAM - hits=26.1 - deleting message...

As you can see from the above this was SPAM and deleted. I like that it displays the clamd and spamd results in the same log. Anyone know if QmailToaster has a log similar to this? Maybe in Simscan?

The install on the new CentOs went great, just had to make a few tweaks to MAIL::DOMAINKEYS to get spamassassin to work. Now that I am all set I wanted to know if there is a log file that you can tail to view incoming emails? For example I can tail /var/spool/qmailscan/qmail-queue.log to see incoming messages on the fedora machine. I have looked at every /var/log/qmail/service*/current, with no luck at finding a match. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Javid Hey, Javid. Welcome to the QMT community. I don't know what the qmail-queue.log looks like, so I can't say if you'll find a match or not. There are a couple log viewing tools (among many other practically indispensable things) available with the qmailtoaster-plus package (http://qtp.qmailtoaster.com). You'll want to install this if you haven't already. qmlog is very handy. You can tailor the log messages somewhat to your liking using sed commands in the provided configuration file. You can tail with qmlog, as well as search. There is also watchall, which I'm not familiar with. -- dig·er·a·ti (di(j'?-rä'te-) [dig(ital) + (lit)erati.] pl.n.

Most of what you're looking for is in there, if not as pretty. ;) I agree with Eric that the logging is not as pretty. It is readable though; here is a sample from one of my machines: 2009-07-01 23:22:10.310372500 tcpserver: status: 3/255 2009-07-01 23:22:10.310607500 tcpserver: pid 12231 from 195.25.170.2 2009-07-01 23:22:10.310758500 tcpserver: ok 12231 mailserver.blah.com:164.127.118.179:25 :195.25.170.2::51864 2009-07-01 23:22:11.076299500 tcpserver: end 12230 status 0 2009-07-01 23:22:11.076326500 tcpserver: status: 2/255 2009-07-01 23:22:11.529857500 CHKUSER accepted sender: from adhiamboal...@jotto.com:: remote pcjerome:unknown:195.25.170.2 rcpt : sender accepted 2009-07-01 23:22:11.866180500 CHKUSER accepted rcpt: from adhiamboal...@jotto.com:: remote pcjerome:unknown:195.25.170.2 rcpt o...@jotto.com : found existing recipient 2009-07-01 23:22:12.976282500 simscan:[12231]:CLEAN (6.40/12.00):0.8616s:***SPAM*** Staying tool easy as 1,2,3 cuneiform denominational:195.25.170.2:adhiamboal...@jotto.com:o...@jotto.com: 2009-07-01 23:22:13.545616500 tcpserver: end 12231 status 0 You can see the message was accepted from 195.25.170.2, and simscan scanned it and gave it a score of 6.40 with a threshold of 12.0 (when a message gets deleted). Since it scored above 5.0 (defined in the /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf config file), it was rewritten with the subject of ***SPAM***. And we use simscan instead of qmail-scanner. While qmail-scanner can be more flexible, it does not run nearly as fast as simscan.

I'll try it tomorrow (sometimes I feel like a kid in a candy factory when I'm (sort of, and pretty badly) sysadmin-ing a server), and let you know how everything went. I would actually love to see a egroupware-toaster package. Wouldn't be too hard to arrange, maybe setting some defaults (like IMAP authentication)... If I can be of help, I'll be here.

Gilbert That's right along the lines I was thinking. Any MySQL experts out there who would like to work with me (and John?) on this? If you guys get something going and want to add it to our mix, we could split the 2 installations - brainstorming here - where qmailtoaster.com was general information and would like to vpopmail.qmailtoaster.com and ldap.qmailtoaster.com to allow 2 different manners of installation. Unless you think you can bring it all under one roof, maybe with the optional packages section that is hopefully going to be implemented soon. - Qmailtoaster is sponsored by Vickers Consulting Group (www.vickersconsulting.com) Vickers Consulting Group offers Qmailtoaster support and installations.
