The ISP array will have essentially the mailstore in common - each 
server, for the most part, acts independently, only storing the mail 
in a shared location. With the exception of the DB replication, the 
rest should be easy to migrate to with almost no impact to your 
clients - as you add a new server, just change the DNS record. After a 
few days for DNS propagation, users will be using the new server added.
The QMT download mirrors work a lot like that, using DNS roundrobin. 
As someone donates a mirror, I just add it to the A record. DNS 
handles the load balancing between the mirrors for me. Not as tunable 
or flexible as a $80K load balancer, but it does work :)
Nice! I'm sure I'll get more of my questions answered when I finish 
watching your videos...I'm just starting the 3rd of 8 I believe. Ok, so 
take this scenario for example:


If we get everything migrated onto our QMT box "Q2", how can I begin to 
transform that into a back-end server? Doesn't sound too difficult if 
you are working with 2 fresh installs, but what if you have an existing 
production server? Can it be done?


Thanks!

Check your /etc/squirrelmail/config_php file:
$smtpServerAddress  = 'localhost';
$smtpPort   = 587;
$smtp_auth_mech = 'login';

Replace localhost with an appropriate resolvable host name (or IP address).

Note, if you're using authentication (recommended), you can eliminate
the 127.: line in your tcp.smtp file, but that's not required.

That will work - as far as your spam problem, that is due to DNS and the 
receiving host's policies. Does not actually have anything to do with 
the functionality of QMT in this config.
Maybe the other IP address on your DSL is in a blacklist? Is it in a 
DHCP range? Those are usually considered spam from the start - either 
way you'd need to determine how the receiving server is marking your 
mail as spam and then work on that.

Does your squirrelmail installation reside on a different host?
We need some more details on how your environment is set up. It sounds
like you may want to reconfig squirrelamil to auth for SMTP.

[qmailtoaster] 2 xdsl lines

2011-10-18 Thread Michele Federici 

Hi,

My customer have 2 qmailtoaster server: a master server  replicates (via 
rsync) to a backup server. Master server receive all mail from a xDSL 
connection (public ip: 1.2.3.4).
Master server is behind a public firewall who nat all email to master 
server from primary xDSL line.
Now i have a second DSL connection and i want receive email from this 
connection (public ip 5.6.7.8) when primary xDSL is down.


Now  master server has
- server name: box1.mydomain.xxx
- domain mydomain.xxx: Mx preference = 10, mail exchanger = 
box1.mydomain.xxx

- qmail controls files
- me: box1.mydomain.xxx
- rcpthosts: box1.mydomain.xxx, mydomain.xxx

If i've understand for receive email from second dsl lines i need to
- add to mydomain.xxx Mx preference = 20, mail exchanger = 
box2.mydomain.xxx on ip
- add nat for smtp second xDSL line (smtp traffic from public ip 5.6.7.8 
to master server).


It's correct or i need particular configuration in qmailtoaster? For 
example i've problems (like spam control) if an email arrive to 
box2.mydomain.xxx and my server response with box1.mydomain.xxx


thank you
