Re: RES: [qmailtoaster] Re: Qmail-inject issue
Hi all, I sometimes have the same kind of entry in the logs: grep -R -i 'inject' /var/log/qmail/send/* comes up with entries such as this: /var/log/qmail/send/@40004cac830228d80ff4.s:@40004ca982cb35955a94 delivery 291: failure: qmail-inject:_fatal:_unable_to_parse_this_line:/Cc:_cdshummar...@waschbuesch.de,/_mar...@waschbuesch.de;_Mon,_4_Oct_2010_09:31:12_+0200/system_error_calling_qmail-inject/ The interesting thing is that I always have that when mails seem to have multiple recipients and one of them is clearly fake: cdshummar...@waschbuesch.de is not one of my users while mar...@waschbuesch.de is. I also attached an error message that goes with such errors. Please note that I have never yet seen this if it was not a spam mail anyway, so I never investigated further. Perhaps that helps?

Thanks, Michael. I've added a reference to this on the QTP wiki under the Utilities section. Just so people know, fetchmail supports IMAP as well, and can be used to do several of the things these scripts do. Fetchmail is pretty versatile. -- -Eric 'shubes' On 03/28/2011 05:20 PM, Michael J.

I've used it a couple times to migrate users from one server to another, usually from a server I don't control to one I do...when acquiring new users from another ISP...

I use this when someone moves to our service and wants to pull their existing mail from another provider and maintain the folder structure... Since both of these work by basically logging in via IMAP and pulling the mail, it seems to work pretty reliably, although it's been a while since I've needed to use them for moving people. Seems most people don't use their ISP mail anymore, preferring to use Gmail or something. But, I do find it useful for pulling hosting customer's mail... But, if you look through that page, you might find some that you can think of that may be useful for other people/other implementations of QMT.

[qmailtoaster] qtp-backup
I was just curious. I am testing qtp-backup to see how long it runs. I'm currently at 1 hour and 25 minutes and still going. Current directory (/backup/qmailbkup) size is 7.2 Gig (/home/vpopmail/domains is 16 Gig uncompressed). Is this normal? Am I running to correct/best/fastest backup script? My goal here is to put qtp-backup (or the best backup script) into a cron job that runs every night, then after waiting MORE than the amount of time it takes to run the qtp-backup script, rsync the backup file(s) over to a another server. Thanks, Scott

I had played with a similar rsync method to this for a while as well as adapting a rdiff-backup method as well (allows for snapshot/rollback/increments).

RE: [qmailtoaster] Re: qtp-backup
Rollback or increments could be necessary if someone deletes email prior to the last backup and it is later discovered by (that person's boss) well after the fact (and the last backup). I had been keeping about 1 month back in delta files necessary to re-create previous backup data. Though I later realized that seldom does the contents of one file/message change in a mail server, so just having a file-level increment (instead of bit/block-level) is necessary under the right circumstances. -Pat Ring -Original Message- From: Eric Shubert [mailto:e...@shubes.net] Sent: Tuesday, March 29, 2011 12:55 PM To: qmailtoaster-list@qmailtoaster.com Subject: [qmailtoaster] Re: qtp-backup I think you can do incrementals with rsync as well.

[qmailtoaster] Memory expected ?
I have been reading the wiki some and I didn't find this yet. Maybe there are too many variables. I got some help getting a fairly basic CentOS 5.5 VPS set up with qmailtoaster. I ran out of RAM and had trouble even logging in with SSH I read some list archives and got clamav shut off which was taking up 40% memory Now in TOP I see this. Mem:393216k total, 219456k used, 173760k free,0k buffers This is without clamav taking up an additional 160mb. Would people expect my config to take up this much RAM? Say I have 3 users and one very active sending our 1000 emails a week, receiving maybe 100 emails total a week. How much RAM do you think I will need? Is there a way to estimate the system needs? Are there optimizations that you might recommend to clean things up? Or am I just being cheap and should up the RAM on my VPS? I don't expect the server to have any other significant usage, some very basic webpages with low load. Thanks Fred
[qmailtoaster] Conversion of courier to Dovecot Subfolder issue
To All, Last night I converted my mail server from Courier to Dovecot, following the setup announced last week. http://wiki.qmailtoaster.com/index.php/Replacing_Courier_IMAP_with_Dovecot_I MAP I tested the system initially on a backup machine and this seemed to work and I was able to connect to the backup server with an IMAP account and see all of the mail there. Unfortunately my testing was not good enough, as I can across three issues when I completed the changeover. 1. Some users were able to connect and others not. Looking in the log, I could see Aborted login (tried to use disabled plaintext auth). I rectified this by placing disable_plaintext_auth = no in the /etc/dovecot/toaster.conf file. 2. Subfolders on some accounts came across, outside of the INBOX as expected, but others did not. Once again this was rectified by Subscribing to folders in the Microsoft Outlook Client, from the Inbox Properties (IMAP Folders) 3. The third issue, came in two parts. Squirrelmail did not work. Initially all I could get was a blank screen for mailserver/webmail/src/login.php screen. I found, after playing with the configurations (/etc/squirrelmail/config_local.php), by changing the line $default_folder_prefix = ; to $default_folder_prefix = ' '; , I was able to login. However, I am not able to display the subfolders, that are outside of the Inbox. I know Eric did not want to have these folders in the Inbox as he thought this was not necessary (see comments in /etc/dovecot/toaster.conf). I have tried a number of different settings (see below) but all I can get is the standard Inbox, Drafts, Trash and Sent folders. Can anyone assist here? Setting tried so far. $optional_delimiter = '.'; $default_folder_prefix = '.'; $optional_delimiter = '.'; $default_folder_prefix = 'INBOX.'; $optional_delimiter = ' '; $default_folder_prefix = ' '; Any help here would be appreciated Mike Canty - Qmailtoaster is sponsored by Vickers Consulting Group (www.vickersconsulting.com) Vickers Consulting Group offers Qmailtoaster support and installations.

Re: [qmailtoaster] Re: Memory expected ?
Thanks for the ideas, Yes, the VPS is on OpenVZ - no swap. currently 256mb RAM with 384mb burstable. Sounds like I should up it to 512mb (768 burstable) If it would be helping? I wouldn't mind helping with the wiki and putting in a short section somewhere that mentions typical memory requirements. Maybe it could go in the FAQ near discussion of dependencies.
