[qmailtoaster] qmail logfile archiving
Hi, I need to keep at least 1 month of all mail logs, everything that logs via: /var/qmail/supervise/*/log I'm hoping I can use something like logrotate to rotate out logfiles, or have the same functionality of rotated out logs... Looking at the log/run files I see it reads some settings for multilog from: LOGSIZE=`cat /var/qmail/control/logsize` LOGCOUNT=`cat /var/qmail/control/logcount` Should I just up the logsize? I've got plenty of disk space. I'm going over the miltilog man page and it is not obvious to me what the most efficient way of accomplishing this is :) Any suggestions or a point in the right direction would be appreciated.

Martin, Actually - that will work just fine, thanks for the clarification. I've upped it to 100MB and will have it clean them out once a month. Thanks! -- PJF -Original Message- From: Martin Waschbüsch [mailto:mar...@waschbuesch.de] Sent: Tuesday, October 12, 2010 10:01 AM To: qmailtoaster-list@qmailtoaster.com Subject: Re: [qmailtoaster] qmail logfile archiving Hi there, the two values are just variables used to do this: The s command is used to specify the maximum size of each file before it gets renamed, and the n command to specify the maximum number of old log files which may exist before they are deleted. For example... multilog t n16 s1048576 ./main This allows each file to grow up to 1MB (1048576 bytes) and allows up to 16 files to exist before the oldest files are deleted. So, the way you currently have it, you could have 'logcount' files of a 'logsize' file size before overwriting old log data, Your main problem is going to be that neither of these values has anything whatsoever to do with timestamps - how far your log reaches into the past totally depends on the amount of data logged. You could try setting logcount to something *really* large, though and then periodically delete all log files older than the desired amount of time logged... like: find /path/to/files* -mtime +30 -delete Martin -- Martin Waschbüsch IT-Dienstleistungen Lautensackstr. 16 80687 München Telefon: +49 89 57005708 Fax: +49 89 57868023 Mobil: +49 170 2189794 mar...@waschbuesch.de http://martin.waschbuesch.de Am 12.10.2010 um 18:44 schrieb PJF: Hi, I need to keep at least 1 month of all mail logs, everything that logs via: /var/qmail/supervise/*/log I'm hoping I can use something like logrotate to rotate out logfiles, or have the same functionality of rotated out logs...

[qmailtoaster] migration from qmail/vpopmail to qmailtoaster, vdominfo shows 0 users for all domains.
Hi, I've followed the directions exactly for Migrating from qmail using vpasswd: (thank you for putting this together) http://wiki.qmailtoaster.com/index.php/Migrating_from_qmail_that_using_vpass wd All accounts have been transferred, over, SQL has been imported, I'm able to test them in my mail client and login via POP3 and IMAP fine. qmailadmin and vqadmin work fine, they show all of the users and domains. The only issue I'm seeing is: /home/vpopmail/bin/vdominfo will display all of the domains, but shows the following for every domain: users: 0 Yet there are of course many users in each domain. Before I get ready to go live on this new qmailtoaster install I wanted to make sure nothing is seriously broken. Any help or suggestions on what I need to do to fix this or where to look would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. -- PJF - Qmailtoaster is sponsored by Vickers Consulting Group (www.vickersconsulting.com) Vickers Consulting Group offers Qmailtoaster support and installations.

RE: [qmailtoaster] Re: migration from qmail/vpopmail to qmailtoaster, vdominfo shows 0 users for all domains.
Thanks for the quick reply everyone, my first posting to the list and I am very impressed with all the prompt and knowledgeable responses. Yeah, I won't be using vqadmin in the future, it's removed now. QControl looks great, thanks for the heads up. -- PJF -Original Message- From: Joel Eddy [mailto:rje...@iowaconnect.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 06, 2010 1:57 PM To: qmailtoaster-list@qmailtoaster.com Subject: RE: [qmailtoaster] Re: migration from qmail/vpopmail to qmailtoaster, vdominfo shows 0 users for all domains. Just to add my 2cents and that's about all it's worth. If you go into the sql database and change the number 21474836nn that's in there to say the number of actual accounts it will fix it. The NEVER use vqadmin again. It is a pain in the A$$. I use PHPMyAdmin for my MySQL but you use what ever you're comfy with. Now for my 2 cents. KILL vqadmin it's busted period and has been for years. I use QControl, buy the full version like I did if you have multiple domains. /plug It's worth it in my opinion. And with that you get the man that knows whaaaz up with Qmail. /end of plug Okay, I'll get off my soap box now.

That value is bogus on my QMT hosts as well. I have either 0 or 21474836nn, with no apparent rhyme or reason. Some little bug in there I expect, but it doesn't appear to hinder operation at all. FWIW, vqadmin is also broken at this point. It's reportedly ok for viewing things, but don't go updating anything with it. I don't even install it myself. You don't really need it. If you want a gui tool for that sort of thing, have a look at qcontrol. Since you're new to QMT, I would recommend installing qmailtoaster-plus if you haven't already (http://qtp.qmailtoaster.com), and also install spamdyke (using the qtp-install-spamdyke script in QTP). There are other goodies in QTP as well that you'll want to have a look at. -- -Eric 'shubes' --- - - Qmailtoaster is sponsored by Vickers Consulting Group (www.vickersconsulting.com) Vickers Consulting Group offers Qmailtoaster support and installations.
