[qmailtoaster] chkuser characters
I'm working on patching chkuser 2.0.9 into the 2.x build and the current stable build. Here is the code: /* * If you need more additional characters to be accepted within rcpt address * uncomment one of the following #define and edit the character value. * Be careful to use '*' (single hiphen) and NOT * (double hiphen) around the * wanted char. * * Remember: '#' and '+' are accepted by CHKUSER_ALLOW_RCPT_SRS * */ /* #define CHKUSER_ALLOW_RCPT_CHAR_1 '$' */ /* #define CHKUSER_ALLOW_RCPT_CHAR_2 '%' */ /* #define CHKUSER_ALLOW_RCPT_CHAR_3 '£' */ /* #define CHKUSER_ALLOW_RCPT_CHAR_4 '?' */ /* #define CHKUSER_ALLOW_RCPT_CHAR_5 '*' */ /* #define CHKUSER_ALLOW_RCPT_CHAR_6 '^' */ /* #define CHKUSER_ALLOW_RCPT_CHAR_7 '~' */ /* #define CHKUSER_ALLOW_RCPT_CHAR_8 '' */ /* available for other characters */ /* #define CHKUSER_ALLOW_RCPT_CHAR_9 '#' */ /* available for other characters */ /* #define CHKUSER_ALLOW_RCPT_CHAR_10 '=' */ /* available for other characters */ So opening 1, 2, 4, and 5 seems like it would be sufficient, along with the / character. Does anyone know of any other characters that would be required or wish to investigate this? From the messages on the mailing list it seems that Blackberry accounts are the ones that keep hitting this issue, so hoping that someone has done some research on this already and can let me know what other characters would be required to be allowed in the code.

I installed the OS with only one drive installed because I wanted to backup to the second drive. When I installed the second drive it now sees them both as one. I realize this is because the LVG setup. The question is can I run the second drive independent of the LVG? CJ Sure you can. I strongly recommend though that you use the drives in a raid-1 (mirrored) configuration. That way, you get the benefit of having a copy of everything on a 2nd drive (I would not call this a backup however), and the host will continue to run even if/when one drive fails. I don't think the QMTISO will allow you to do this, but I'm not sure. You'll need to do a manual/custom HDD configuration for that, which is fairly easy to do with the CentOS installer (anaconda). When you select the Advanced option on the ISO installation it will allow you to manually set partitions. CJ - if you're asking about REMOVING a device from a LVG, you'll need to do some research on this - if they're active as one big drive then your current data may be already striped across both spindles and removing one will remove portions of your current data. I believe there are some documents and tools documented at the Linux Documentation Project that ay offer some suggestions on how to remove a drive from configurations such as this, but you'll need to look into it a little more. I do not have a lot of experience with it - after being bitten once I use standard mounts and RAID. Hope that helps. - Qmailtoaster is sponsored by Vickers Consulting Group (www.vickersconsulting.com) Vickers Consulting Group offers Qmailtoaster support and installations.

Re: [qmailtoaster] Replicated Server Issue
I am trying to add a server to my existing server in a replicated fashion. I am running into a problem copying the database over to the new server. When I follow the steps (listed below) in the Replicated Server video, nothing gets put into the NEW database. Here are the steps I follow: On the OLD (#1) server: Dump vpopmail database into vpopdump.sql SCP file over to NEW server On the NEW (#2) server: Stop Slave Drop vpopmail database Create vpopmail database Import database I SCP'ed (dump file) over from existing server (#1) Start Slave When I check the new server with either QControl or QmailAdmin, there are NO domains or users. I'm stumped on this one. I've followed the above process three times and still no love! Also, the I double-checked that the dump file DOES contain data. Thanks, Scott Does the newly created DB have the vpopmail user as having full rights to the DB? - Qmailtoaster is sponsored by Vickers Consulting Group (www.vickersconsulting.com) Vickers Consulting Group offers Qmailtoaster support and installations.

Re: [qmailtoaster] Re: iptables question
You can also use iptables-restore /etc/sysconfig/iptables to load any changes you've made to the iptables file. It will complain if you have a syntax error. Little trick I also learned - set yourself up a cron job that will reset the firewall rules every hour, even if it resets them to wide open. This way when you lock yourself out, you only have to wait until the top of the hour for the cron to kick off before the rules are reset and you can get back in.

Re: [qmailtoaster] Creating Global Address Book QmailToaster Mail Server
Hi List, Is there any way I could create a global address book for my qmailtoaster Mail server? If there is, pls help me how to do it. To the best of my knowledge, you can create one for Squirrelmail, but that will not propagate to the clients. There will be some work in the future to incorporate LDAP into Qmailtoaster that may open some avenues to accomplish this, so you may need to look at outside 3rd party tools/projects to achieve this for the time being. - Qmailtoaster is sponsored by Vickers Consulting Group (www.vickersconsulting.com) Vickers Consulting Group offers Qmailtoaster support and installations.

Re: [qmailtoaster] Re: Memory dan Email stats
Do you have zombie processes running? Your cpu load is low, yet there are 3 spamd processes running. I thought spamd has 2 standby child-processes and the other one is the master process Actually spamd will spin off up to 6 child processes to handle incoming messages (I believe 6 is the default - may be 8). You can override this with a switch in the run file to allow more/less child processes. I do not recall what the switch is off the top of my head, but --children jumps out. Check the options for the spamd process. - Qmailtoaster is sponsored by Vickers Consulting Group (www.vickersconsulting.com) Vickers Consulting Group offers Qmailtoaster support and installations.

Jake Vickers wrote: Eric Shubert wrote: Phil Leinhauser wrote: Is there anything like a load tester for QMT to mimic the 500 user limit? I don't know of one. (Doesn't mean there isn't one) It'd be nice to have a testing harness of some sort for QMT. Anyone up for writing one? One of the setups I was working on was Xen, but there is one running ESX. They have 500 users, all using IMAP, and some users experience 8-10 minute lags in accessing their imap stores (or webmail). IMAP processes have been increased, and the softlimit has also been increased. I do agree we could use some testing tools (this should be on the devel list, and can easily be added to the tools section of the subversion repo). I used to have a script around here somewhere that dumped 10K emails to load test, but haven't used it in a long time and would have to really dig to find it. I just wonder if the imap load isn't hitting a limitation in the VMware storage structure. The system has enough horse power and lots of RAM. 'sar' shows the cpu is not working very hard. When running a 'du -sh *' on the /home/vpopmail/domains takes as long as 7 minutes on a couple domains, which is what points me towards a VMware filesystem suspicion, since that test is not even using imap but straight file access. That's a good guess. I'll think about it a bit. Courier or Dovecot? (Not that it matters a whole lot if filesystem access is slow) Which elevator type is running on the guest? (noop appears to be best) Any idea which elevator ESX is configured to use? Which ESX version? As a side thought - anyone ever looked at freshmeat on some pop/imap testing tools? Courier is running. I may switch them to dovecot since it handles the larger mailboxes better (some boxed are 7+ Gigs in total size). I still think it's a filesystem issue though, as a 'du -sh' command takes so long. I do not have much more information as to the ESX setup however. They did have the mailstore mapped via NFS and switching that to a local filesytem decreased the issues by 50% or more. They moved a busy host to another ESX server and that decreased the issues even more, but they still experience 1-3 issues per day, always during peak times. And when I compare that against a 1500+ user system I have on a bare-metal server (mixed pop3 and imap) that does not have any issues (and 1/2 the hardware horsepower), the only other thing I can point a finger at at this point would be VMware. Some testing tools would be great to reproduce this type of thing. Did anyone come up with any ideas yet? - Qmailtoaster is sponsored by Vickers Consulting Group (www.vickersconsulting.com) Vickers Consulting Group offers Qmailtoaster support and installations.

This isn't directly related to the topic on hand, but I found that without VMWare tools installed and using kernel options, there are serious clock drifts especially in CentOS/RHEL using the 2.6 kernel. http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_UScmd=displayKCexternalId=1006427 Not relevant in this case, but thanks. Time keeping has tripped me up in the past when the mailstore was on a NFS share. Never did get a clean fix for this, at least not in my opinion. (Note that I'm talking about a different system in regards to the time keeping). I installed the tools, and still have to run ntpdate every 5 minutes to keep the clock from skewing too far for the NFS mailstore running dovecot. - Qmailtoaster is sponsored by Vickers Consulting Group (www.vickersconsulting.com) Vickers Consulting Group offers Qmailtoaster support and installations.
