[qmailtoaster] smtp binding to seperate ip
hi some of my users need to compulsorily use port 25 for sending outgoing emails with smtp authentication for such users if they use the primary ip for sending then get error that their ip is listed in blacklist - naturally because they are sending from dialup connections. since they cannot use port 587 i was planning to bind qmail smtp service to another ip address (yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy) on the server which could be used by these customers so i created a separate folder /var/qmail/supervise/smtpauth with all the files in it after making changes to the run file, restarted qmail. i was able send emails using alternate ip yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy but the problem is that the server does not ask for authentication even though i specified REQUIRE_AUTH=1. I need some help on this please. my run file is given below yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy -- is my secondary ip #!/bin/sh QMAILDUID=`id -u vpopmail` NOFILESGID=`id -g vpopmail` MAXSMTPD=`cat /var/qmail/control/concurrencyincoming` SMTPD="/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd" TCP_CDB="/etc/tcprules.d/tcp.smtp.cdb" HOSTNAME=`hostname` VCHKPW="/home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw" REQUIRE_AUTH=1 exec /usr/bin/softlimit -m 1200 \ /usr/bin/tcpserver -v -R -H -l ns2.myserver.net -x $TCP_CDB -c "$MAXSMTPD" \ -u "$QMAILDUID" -g "$NOFILESGID" yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy smtp \ $SMTPD $VCHKPW /bin/true 2>&1 rajesh - Qmailtoaster is sponsored by Vickers Consulting Group (www.vickersconsulting.com) Vickers Consulting Group offers Qmailtoaster support and installations.

I have generated the keys am using the signconf.xml to list of domains I want to sign. Everything works fine and dandy, the messages are being correctly signed and delivered. I have over 500 domains that need to be signed but I also have 100's of domains which use the mail server for which I do not manage DNS that I need to Omit from signing. I know I can add omit domains from being signed by creating an empty domain tag in the singconf.xml. But isn't there a way in which one can sign only domains specified in the signconf and any ones that are not listed should not be signed? Thanks, Vik Anything not explicitly defined will be handled by the global config. So sign your domains that you want by creating config entries for them, but leave global as no signing.

[qmailtoaster] Traffic monitor / accounting for QMT
Hi all, I was sort of fed up with not having a nice way to do traffic monitoring and accounting on my QMT installation - so I wrote my own. ;-) If you're interested, have a look at it here: http://martin.waschbuesch.de/qtp-traffic-monitor.tar.bz2 There are two components: a script that will gather daily statistics (always for yesterday) and write them into a mysql database and a report-generator that takes arguments such as start date, end date, domain (or list of domains) to generate a report. Reported information include: traffic for MUA (IMAP/POP3), MTA (qmail) and Web (apache) as well as mail & web quota. It is tailored to the way I place apache log files for vhosts and also, I use dovecot rather than courier, but it should not be hard to adapt to your own needs. Code is somewhat documented, but not as extensive as it might be, I guess (then again, what code ever is?) Refer to the README file in the archive for more information. Anyway, comments, feedback, etc. is highly appreciated. Enjoy!

[qmailtoaster] Re: smtp binding to seperate ip
The simplest solution to this problem is to install spamdyke, which bypasses all filters for authenticated users. The stock rblsmtpd doesn't know about authentication, which is what causes the problem. Use the qtp-install-spamdyke script, and you be good to go in no time. You might want to review the /etc/spamdyke/spamdyke.conf file to be sure that filters are suitable for your environment. You'll also appreciate that spamdyke lightens the load on your server, as there will be much less email to scan. -- -Eric 'shubes' Rajesh M wrote: hi some of my users need to compulsorily use port 25 for sending outgoing emails with smtp authentication for such users if they use the primary ip for sending then get error that their ip is listed in blacklist - naturally because they are sending from dialup connections. since they cannot use port 587 i was planning to bind qmail smtp service to another ip address (yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy) on the server which could be used by these customers so i created a separate folder /var/qmail/supervise/smtpauth with all the files in it after making changes to the run file, restarted qmail. i was able send emails using alternate ip yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy but the problem is that the server does not ask for authentication even though i specified REQUIRE_AUTH=1.

No, spamdyke simply passes authentication on to qmail, and trusts qmail's response. This is the default behavior for authentication, which is equivalent to: smtp-auth-level=observe Refer to http://www.spamdyke.org/documentation/README.html#SMTP_AUTH my /etc/spamdyke/spamdyke.conf does not mention anything related to smtp authentication You don't need anything specific in your spamdyke.conf file. The default behavior is fine. If you're running spamdyke, you should not be seeing rbl rejections for authenticated users. If your users are seeing rbl rejections, then I would suspect that they're not authenticating successfully. -- -Eric 'shubes' - Qmailtoaster is sponsored by Vickers Consulting Group (www.vickersconsulting.com) Vickers Consulting Group offers Qmailtoaster support and installations.

I expect that the chkuser code is probably ok, but there's something in your setup that's not quite right. Perhaps something that chkuser/vpopmail isn't anticipating. I have been watching logs for too long now but there really seems to be an issue to attend to with CHKUSER. The number of accounts that are NOT stopped by CHKUSER is surprising. I have built a list of all email addresses in my system and check the more obvious wrong ones via grep. It appears that CHKUSER is accepting emails regardless! Is it possible I might have to rebuild it for some reason? -- best wishes Tony White - Qmailtoaster is sponsored by Vickers Consulting Group (www.vickersconsulting.com) Vickers Consulting Group offers Qmailtoaster support and installations.
