Hi folks,

My PHP settings for upload of attachments is 12MB (12582912)
My qmail settings are 1400 byte in databytes.

A difference seems to be appearing in that any upload of 12MB
will not be sent with the Error that it exceeds My databytes value
is odd, yes?

To get around this I have had to increase the databytes in qmail
by 40% to get the 12MB file to be allowed.

Is this normal?

Hi.

I am running dovecot on my qmail toaster installation, and was hoping

I can't create IMAP folders on that account either. Any thoughts where 
I should check? Permissions issues?

You are not alone. I suspect that issue is thunderbird related, not 
toaster related. My personal observation is that I have to go into 
account options on t-bird (in the copies and folders section) and tick 
the other button for every message-type-handling and point it to the 
correct account/inbox/corresponding folder. voilà, then it works as 
advertised on the tin.


I don't have hundreds of clients to configure, nor am I motivated to 
research it any further.

Hello,

Can anyone tell me how to check if qmail is even piping messages through

if that doesn't do the trick, post the output of 'qmailctl stat | sort'

good news for you.

i hadn't noticed the spambox option was missing from qmailadmin on my

spamdyke that i know will allow spam through.  voila, the spam folder 
was created and mail marked spam was deposited in the newly created spam

don't sweat the softlimits anymore, as i was guessing that might have 
been the reason spamd may have been having issues. softlimits was the

[qmailtoaster] spamassassin faulty scoring rule---FH_DATE_PAST_20XX

2010-01-02 Thread David Good
Happy New Year,

There is a rule in spamassassin that has started running up your spam
scores (erroneously) with the beginning of the new decade, that has a
(alledged) fix in svn, and that hasn't been propagated out for mass
consumption.

I lurk on the centos list and this was discussed 1/2/2010.  This
affected my box, so I am re-listing it here, 'cuz it appears to affect
all spamassassin users not using the latest ruleset.

Gilbert says look for this in your email headers:

snip
 X-Spam-Report:
  *  3.4 FH_DATE_PAST_20XX The date is grossly in the future.
/snip


Fabian says:

snip
Yes and they haven't fixed it (yet) : 
https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=6269
Change your score for that rule, or disable it, or change it like 
described in the bug entry
I like the fact that they said it was fixed in svn some months ago, 
but it's still in svn and not in the $current release so  ... :/
Nothing than a sa-update will not fix when they decide to update the 
base rules
/snip

Kai says:

snip
add

score FH_DATE_PAST_20XX 0

to your /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf
And you should use Bayes. A well-trained Bayes would have balanced that 
down (assuming it was ham).
/snip

thanks to gilbert, fabian, and kai for the thread.


I am on a Centos 4.x box, and I seem to be having perl issues with
running sa-update that I need to troubleshoot on Monday...so you may or
may not be affected.  Also, that link seems to imply the fix has been
pushed out with ruleset 895075.   Heads up anyways.

regards,
fuzzy

Thanks,

Need a few more details, Kaven.
What sort of rejection message are you seeing?
What's the full path of whitelist_from (spamassassin or spamdyke)?

SA could still reject anything in a SD whitelist. They're totally
separate.

-Eric 'shubes'



your situation:
1) you get emails marked as spam from spamassassin, randomly, presumably 
from a regular correspondent. or you randomly do not receive mail from same.

2) you do not use spamdyke.
3) you do not want those emails tagged as spam or have them rejected.

my observation:
your spam hits value has been lowered from the default 12 in the stock 
toaster down to something less than or equal to 6 which may be a bit too 
tight. (your header shows a hard reject for a 6.1 value)
remember that marking is controlled by the local.cf  (mark at 5) and the 
hard reject is controlled by the simcontrol file (mine is still at 12).


solution:
1) you can either raise the spam hits value and probably allow more spam 
in for everybody on your toaster.

2) you can whitelist a specific email address or domain.

if you want to whitelist, see 
http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/ManualWhitelist
the 'whitelist_from [EMAIL PROTECTED]' works for me 100% of the time for 
companies we deal with.
don't forget to restart SA to reload using the newly edited config 
file...if you use the qmail-toaster plus package, you can 'qmail-spam 
restart' as root.


does that help?

1) recreated the 'assign' file.
2) recreated the 'locals' file.
3) recreated the 'rcpthost' file.

sorry guy,

IANAL or a qmailtoaster expert either, deleting /var/qmail/  killed lots 
and lots of stuff  (not just the 3 files you have indicated that you 
re-created) required for the toaster to work...FUBAR, if you cannot 
recover directories and files from a backup (what is a backup?).


i would suggest a re-install is in order.  all mails and such are stored 
in /home/... so you basically need to run through the current install 
instructions again...remembering to edit the appropriate scripts to 
match what you have in place already (no goof-ups).  i hope you took 
precise notes and recorded mysql password and so on.  this should repair 
the missing application dirs/files and the data (mail) should be 
untouched in /home/AGAIN, PROVIDED YOU INSTALL USING THE EXACT SAME 
PARAMETERS USED AT INSTALL...OTHERWISE IT WILL BE START FROM 
SCRATCH.(not yelling, just emphasizing)  if done correctly, it should work


that is my opinion FWIW.

that seems to be the preferred way you upgrade this beast when it goes 
live, as in production, too.


any true experts care to chime in?
