Hi Did any one how to set disclaimer In squirrel mail and it should be reflected in outlook. Regards, Rajesh
RE: [qmailtoaster] Disclaimer
Hi, In Squirrelmail you can setup signature/Disclaimers in Options Personal information. But this will be appended only to messages send from Squirrel Mail. The signature settings in Outlook will not reflect in Squirrelmail. There is no general settings in Qmail Toaster for disclaimers for all email ids in a domain.

RE: [qmailtoaster] Disclamier- URGRNT
Hi Rajesh, Generally it is not a good idea to implement signatures/disclaimers/footer at the mail server level as it breaks PGP and HTML. There was a patch to do this , check http://www.ornl.gov/lists/mailing-lists/qmail/2002/09/msg00440.html , I have not done this and hence I cannot help you here.

I will rework one for the new version of vpopmail toaster which we will be releasing with 1.4.0. It will be easier to do it that version, since all domains will be in one table. I have not incorporated the trigger within the vpopmail source, because I would like to make it optional, and it's not part of the core functionality. Maybe I can create a shell script for those who want to audit the creation/deletion times/dates. I'll post the solution as soon as I write it. If you are planning to update the wiki with the current steps, please _ensure that you mention that it will work only for vpopmail-5.4.17 version of the toaster.

Bharath - You should convert to dovecot if you need mailboxes that large. Dovecot has no problem with them. Generally speaking, converting to dovecot is a good move anyhow. At some point it will replace courier in the stock QMT.

For many user getting this error in webmail. Let's be clear here - in QMT there is no limit to the size of a mailbox, except for the storage allocation on the filesystem in which it is stored (or the quota established). This is because the Mailbox in QMT is NOT A SINGLE FILE - it is a folder, with subfolders used to organize things, and each message being a separate file in one of those sub-folders. These are called Maildirs. THIS IS CONCEPTUALLY DIFFERENT from other mail systems, *_esp. Exchange_*, where a Mailbox is in fact a database that is stored locally on the server's fileystem. On those systems, you often run into file size limitations (like 2GB for older, 32-bit Exchange servers). Some other UNIX-based mail servers also use a database-type of format, usually MBOX (which is terrible for today's kinds of e-mail), but also sometimes MySQL. So why is the user having a problem? The issue with very large mailboxes in this case is being caused by the CLIENT software (or, possibly, as was mentioned earlier) by the Courier IMAP server. HOWEVER, if you're having trouble in QMT (and assuming courier-imap squirrelmail), and the issue is the number of messages (not really size-related), then you can do what I did for a client who assumed that, like when he ran into this problem on Exchange, it would take many hours of compressing, repairing, and/or re-indexing to fix... My fix (outlined below) took 10 minutes total! I simply went into his Maildir inbox and created new Maildir folders for each year (he had 8 years worth of e-mails). (NOTE: These were Maildir folders, so each had a cur, new, and tmp sub-folder). Lastly, I used the find command to move everything dated 2005 from the Inbox cur folder to the new 2005 sub-folder (again, actually to the /cur /subdirectory).. then I did it again for 2006 and so on up to 2010... I left him with only 2011 and 2012 messages in his actual inbox, then forced Courier to rebuild the message indicies for each (by removing the old indices and re-accessing from the client). Solved his Squirrelmail problem instantly... (NOTE: Outlook creates a pseudo-PST file for each IMAP account -- and it being a PST file, it has the limits of a PST file in that version of outlook... so this solution may not work for everyone in every giant inbox situation...) One final note - for this same user, I had to do the same to his Sent folder -- similiarly HUGE after 8 years of use! I hope this helps some...

FWIW, the QTP dovecot package is as near to upstream as possible. This means that it uses /var/log/dovecot.log file, which I believe is in syslog format. Also (unrelated) the package uses the stock upstream init script, not supervise.

Re: [qmailtoaster] qmailmrtg
Great! Thanks Martin! I'll take a look at it and see what I need to do. Eric - do we have any plans to be using supervise and multilog/daemontools log format for dovecot in the future? It sure is nice when all (or at least many) of your components are using the same logging mechanism/format, and storing them in a standardized location. Not to get too far off track here, but while we are on the topic of dovecot...has anyone had any experience setting up shared/public namespaces in dovecot for global spam/ham folders?

What exactly is necessary to get qmailmrtg to work with dovecot? Casey Price This is nowhere near complete, but it gives you a first idea what needs to be done. Please note that the mrtg.conf file (I think for some reason that's contained in the .spec in this package), needs to be adapted as well and the c program of course. The package here was my first attempt to convert things to dovecot - it assumes logs are multilog/daemontools format and located in /var/log/qmail/dovecot/ Also, I did not use dovecot for pop3 back then, so that has also not been taken care of. If you give me some more time, I can easily adapt things so it will work with dovecot using syslog and in standard dovecot location and perfect the config files, etc. As it is, I'd consider this very much beta.

No. In fact, I expect QMT will be migrating to systemd and rsyslog at
some point in the future. I think it'll be best in the long run if we
use dovecot in the same way as it's packaged for the distro, in this
case using init scripts and syslog.
Note, dovecot is very sensitive to time. This can be a little
problematic on VMs, as timekeeping is trickier there. A simple solution
is to run this script as a cron job every minute or so:
service dovecot status /dev/null 21 || \
service dovecot start /dev/null 21
Not to get too far off track here, but while we are on the topic of
dovecot...has anyone had any experience setting up shared/public
namespaces in dovecot for global spam/ham folders?
I do that. Here's part of the dovecot config:
# This namespace can be used for people to dump their spam/ham into.
# A cron job can then use them as input to sa-learn.
# See qmailtoaster-plus for a sample script.
namespace {
location = maildir:/home/vpopmail/domains/mydomain.com/sa-learn
prefix = sa-learn.
separator = .
type = public
}

The sa-learn program updates the bayes database, using the shared
mailboxes as input. Exporting the shared mailboxes via nfs seems
suitable to me.
I think the trickier part is having multiple scanners. You'll need some
way of replicating the bayes databases between the two. I don't know if
a bayes database can be shared at all.

That makes total sense. I just wanted to figure out the gameplan.

I'm using the exact same script if not something very close.

This shouldn't be an issue for me, as I'm not running spamd on the QMT
box which contains the users. Instead I'm currently using the following
hierarchy:
-- POP
GW1 -- SA1 -- Q2
-- vCluster1
(I'm currently building a new server that will eventually take the place
of GW1 SA1 and consolidate them into one host). My real problem here
is that the GW SA boxes don't actually know which users exist...they
simply have all of our domains listed in rcphosts goodrptto, and then
smtproutes is setup accordingly to pass mail from GW1 to SA1, and then
SA1 passes it on to one of the 3 servers listed above. Obviously this
isn't the ideal configuration, and I'd like to change it...but that is a
major overhaul, and I'm trying to gradually improve my infrastructure.
Ideally I would like to follow Bill Schupp's Qmail ISP Array model that
Eric posted a link to awhile back...but it will be a little while before
that can happen. So in the meantime, I'm trying to at least find ways to
automate the learning of spam/ham from a remote mailbox to my SA boxes -
if that makes sense?
So the question is do I create a namespace for each domain on each of
the 3 servers, or can I share one for all domains on each server, or
finally - can I create a shared namespace somewhere that all 3 servers
could access?
Sorry to complicate things :-P

What's spam to one person could be ham to another. With so many users, this could easily get out of hand. To begin with, SA is not intended nor geared for global learning. At best it can handle relatively small domains. Certainly not cross-domain learning. When it comes to global learning, DSpam is better at that.

I think setting up SA with training in an ISP setting is perhaps a solution that'll end up being worse than the problem it's intended to solve. I'm not running an ISP setting though, so I could be wrong.

What's spam to one person could be ham to another. With so many users, this could easily get out of hand. That is a very good point.

I'm not running an ISP setting though, so I could be wrong. The problem is that some of my customers are complaining about increased levels of spam. Some domains get a ton of spam, while others hardly any at all. I really want to make use of spamdyke as much as I can, as it really reduces the load on the server and prevents mail from being accepted and processed that doesn't need to be. Some of the spam is being tagged by spamassassin, while some is not. Ultimately, allowing per-domain or even per-user spamassassin configs would be ideal, but therein lies my problem...spamassassin is running on a separate server (a server that just knows about each domain it serves, not which users belong to the domain). So...perhaps my answer is to run the spamc client on my servers at the last hop, and have them connect to the spamassassin box. I'm basically just looking for an effective way to improve my spam filtering, and allow different configs for different users/domains without having to restructure my whole system.

For many user getting this error in webmail. Let's be clear here - in QMT there is no limit to the size of a mailbox, except for the storage allocation on the filesystem in which it is stored (or the quota established). This is because the Mailbox in QMT is NOT A SINGLE FILE - it is a folder, with subfolders used to organize things, and each message being a separate file in one of those sub-folders. These are called Maildirs. THIS IS CONCEPTUALLY DIFFERENT from other mail systems, *esp. Exchange*, where a Mailbox is in fact a database that is stored locally on the server's fileystem. On those systems, you often run into file size limitations (like 2GB for older, 32-bit Exchange servers). Some other UNIX-based mail servers also use a database-type of format, usually MBOX (which is terrible for today's kinds of e-mail), but also sometimes MySQL. So why is the user having a problem? The issue with very large mailboxes in this case is being caused by the CLIENT software (or, possibly, as was mentioned earlier) by the Courier IMAP server. HOWEVER, if you're having trouble in QMT (and assuming courier-imap squirrelmail), and the issue is the number of messages (not really size-related), then you can do what I did for a client who assumed that, like when he ran into this problem on Exchange, it would take many hours of compressing, repairing, and/or re-indexing to fix... My fix (outlined below) took 10 minutes total! I simply went into his Maildir inbox and created new Maildir folders for each year (he had 8 years worth of e-mails). (NOTE: These were Maildir folders, so each had a cur, new, and tmp sub-folder). Lastly, I used the find command to move everything dated 2005 from the Inbox cur folder to the new 2005 sub-folder (again, actually to the *cur *subdirectory).. then I did it again for 2006 and so on up to 2010... I left him with only 2011 and 2012 messages in his actual inbox, then forced Courier to rebuild the message indicies for each (by removing the old indices and re-accessing from the client). Solved his Squirrelmail problem instantly... (NOTE: Outlook creates a pseudo-PST file for each IMAP account -- and it being a PST file, it has the limits of a PST file in that version of outlook... so this solution may not work for everyone in every giant inbox situation...) One final note - for this same user, I had to do the same to his Sent folder -- similiarly HUGE after 8 years of use! I hope this helps some...
