Re: [qmailtoaster] Domain bouncing mail, vuser says user is fine -- still a problem
Dan McAllister wrotes: PS: I have to admit -- I'm getting frustrated with the whole qmail-toaster idea -- being a sys-admin for decades, I'm not used to deploying systems that are magic boxes -- I like to know HOW things work (and WHY they work)... but sendmail was a BITCH (always has been), and I was impressed with what other people had said about the toaster. I'm beginning to think I should learn POSTFIX. sigh at least then, when things broke, I'd have some better ideas about where to look and what to tweak! I don't undestand your statements . Qmailtoaster is a solution to give you a complete mailserver, so you can't compare it to postfix , wich is just an smtp server . You should compare the qmail component of qmailtoaster to postfix or maybe you could compare some other postfix mail based solutions with qmailtoaster , but you will have the same problems you have with the toaster: you must know how to fix single components . Anyway, if you want to know how the things in qmailtoaster works feel free to download,compile,and configure the following simple components: 1) qmail + patches 2) vpopmail 3) vqadmin 4) clamav 5) spamassassin 6) simscan 7) etc etc etc Then break it and try to fix . I've choose qmailtoaster cause i was tired to recompile all the stuff said above . Just my 2cents . - QmailToaster hosted by: VR Hosted http://www.vr.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: [qmailtoaster] Domain bouncing mail, vuser says user is fine -- still a problem
Dan, Have you run the /var/qmail/bin/qmail-newu command? The qmail-lspawn program reads the /var/qmail/user/cdb file and passes the owner and directory information to the qmail-local program. The cdb file is generated by qmail-newu from the /var/qmail/user/assign file. Since other domains work on the server (is that correct?) then I assume that the commands id -u vpopmail and id -g vpopmail return a value of 89.

Re: [qmailtoaster] Domain bouncing mail, vuser says user is fine
you should install phpMyAdmin. This will allow you to use the interface to edit the values in dir_control table. FWIW I think QMT had this issue since, at least, ver 1.3... prior to that I don't know. The field is allaways 0 but at some point , after qmailadmin I think, it gets maxed out. 2007/7/16, Dan McAllister [EMAIL PROTECTED]: OK... this is the 3rd time this has happened to me, and the fix I've used in the past just isn't feasible this time... I've got a domain on a qmail-toaster (I've tried migrating to qtplus, but the sandbox creation always fails because of the symbolic links and additional mounted filesystems (backup and home are on separate drives)... but that's another story)... The issue is that after running fine for a while, a domain's mysql database gets reasonably well corrupted. At current, if I do a vdominfo on the domain, it shows what I suspect is an error associated with doing signed arithmetic on an unsigned value, or vice-versa. The number of users is being reported as 2147483647 (which is 7FFF in hex). If I run vuserinfo, all the expected users show just fine, however * something* in qmail-smtp is reporting that there are no users in the domain (all users are bouncing mail as no mailbox here by that name) -- so I suspect qmail-smtp is using the # of users value and finds it too large. I've had this problem before, but on much smaller domains. Previously, to resolve this problem, I have backed up the old mailboxes, deleted the entire domain (vdeldomain), deleted ALL of the mysql databases (rm -rf /var/lib/mysql/*), re-started mysql (to generate new base databases in /var/lib/mysql), reset the mysql default password, added the vpopmail mysql database, re-added each of the users (plus aliases, forwards, etc.) manually into the vpopmail database, verified correctness, then finally restoring the old mailbox entries. *There has to be a better way! *(With this particular domain, that'll be an all-day project! Over 150 users!) Surely this mysql database entry that has counted the # of users can be fixed somehow WITHOUT starting from scratch! I'm no database guy, but I am a pretty astute Linux (UNIX) admin... so I'm hoping someone out there with the MYSQL knowhow can lead me in the right direction to fix this ASAP!

Re: [qmailtoaster] Domain bouncing mail, vuser says user is fine
OK, cur_users on dir_control, some times, gets maxed up. usualy after adding users if I recall correctly. Not necessarily with vqadmin, but with qmailadmin also (I think). I googled it arround and and didn't get much, so I assumed a vqadmin bug at first. But in some of my systems this happens when adding users to domains. Couldn't trace it to a single point. It's not a every time thing though so I figure some bug between mysql5 and vqadmin. In any case cur_users is always 0 in the DB, regardless of the number of users. 2007/7/17, Jake Vickers [EMAIL PROTECTED]: A M wrote: you should install phpMyAdmin.

Jake Vickers wrote: Dan McAllister wrote: Jake... I DO have a bad habit of reading the documentation -- I use the vqadmin program solely for retrieving passwords when idiot users forget them -- usually the day after they have reset them for some odd reason. I have no doubt, and hope you do read the sparse docs we've put together. The number 217-whatever is just one that I can reproduce consistently with vqadmin. If you created the domains via the CLI (and I'm assuming the values are correct at that time) and they change later That's an interesting one. Is the mysql DB on a different machine as well? I'm starting to suspect something awry with either a DB being on a different machine, or the filesystems being on a different machine. I know there was an issue with MySQL5 when it came out, and I think the end-result patch just pings the DB every so often to keep the connection alive. Before that everyone was getting cannot connect to DB messages. Most clients have just the one server (most are dual-core Opterons, some dual-CPU/dual-core (4 total cores) Opterons -- most are spec'd to 2GB RAM per core). Those that have multiple servers have added an MS Windoze Server 2000 or 2003 SBS. Even in those instances, the MySQL remains on the Linux server. (My QMail Toasters are running on a Fedora Core 5 derivative -- loads of my own customizations that allow me to sell the server as a service, and remotely administer the system as if it is just 1 instance of the same server over and over again. (Keeps me sane). When a client asks for a new domain to be hosted on their system, they submit a request via email. At that time, we add the domain to their DNS, create a space for the web pages to be hosted, create an admin account group for the new domain (who are able to edit the web pages), and lastly create the email domain (vadddomain). If you're PHP savvy this could be scripted. I have a bash script I use to create new domains for my clients. It asks for the name, number of mailboxes, quota, etc. and then creates it for me. I'm an old-time UNIX guy -- I actually do all those steps in a custom-built BASH script. As such, I'm inclined to leave it as-is now. Make clients call in to add domains so I have more hands-on with them. I actually then add a couple of items: 1) I set the postmaster account to point to MY postmaster account -- I read the postmaster mail for all domains I administer, whether on my own server or a client's 2) I create an admin user mailbox (usually the owner of the company) and set the password to something we've agreed upon earlier 3) I create webmaster and abuse aliases for my own webmaster and abuse email mailboxes (on my own domain) -- same reason as for postmaster 4) I email the client a PDF document that tells them how to log into qmailadmin on their new webpage, how to use THEIR account (not postmaster) and a brief primer on how to create each type of account (mailbox, alias, responder, and list). They can always call for additional support -- but the issues that new users bring up are usually added to our PDF document so we don't have to answer it again! Good ideas. I leave it up to the clients for their bounce messages and what-not. 'Course I also set up and maintain their in-house networks, networks in other states to connect back to the home office, VoIP phone systems, I also do custom projects (http://thebuildercam.com/ as an example, which I built from the ground up in my garage), etc., so I don't feel guilty watching over their stuff as much. My biggest problem right now is AOL. They recently changed their servers, and I chase phantom-bounces all the time for 1 client who checks the mail server for me - 50 times a day. 2 weekends ago he only got 50 emails on a Sunday and was sending me text messages to my phone because he said the email server was broke. He normally averages 150-200 messages a day and figured that 100 or so had gotten lost somewhere. It was just a light day. He didn't know of any emails that actually bounced, but he figured there had to be some. sigh AOL is a pain -- but that's their history! Why run ON the Internet when you can build your own, internally housed, completely customized, uniq Internet all right here! That way you're not hampered by anything like /standards!/ (I think they thought they could out-Microsoft Microsoft -- you know: The E3 Strategy - Embrace, Extend, Exterminate! :-) I also offer a broad range of programs, mostly tailored to small to mid-sized businesses, and specializing in non-centric environments (lots of VPN clients, VoIP phone systems that allow users to roam across the world and still make and receive local calls from the Main Office and the like) all needing high availability and high data security. Which brings me back to my current issue... this client is STILL without email this evening, and I'm looking like an idiot because I've checked everything I know

Re: [qmailtoaster] Domain bouncing mail, vuser says user is fine
I got mixed results: about 10% of domains have cur_users maxed out to 2147483647 about 15% have values rangin 1-16 all others have values of 0 what to think of it and to reset it to 0 for all domains? Actually nothing weird does not seem to be happening .. What for is this dir_control used...i haven't still got it (sorry)? can it just be cleaned up (emptyed) and it will recover itself? i have noticed, that then you first create a domain, it doesn't have entry, but if you use vdominfo for getting domain info, it also adds value to dir_control table.

Re: [qmailtoaster] Domain bouncing mail, vuser says user is fine
I usualy reset it to 0 and everything works fine... 2007/7/17, Janno Sannik [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I got mixed results: about 10% of domains have cur_users maxed out to 2147483647 about 15% have values rangin 1-16 all others have values of 0 what to think of it and to reset it to 0 for all domains? Actually nothing weird does not seem to be happening .. What for is this dir_control used...i haven't still got it (sorry)? can it just be cleaned up (emptyed) and it will recover itself? i have noticed, that then you first create a domain, it doesn't have entry, but if you use vdominfo for getting domain info, it also adds value to dir_control table.

Not necessarily with vqadmin, but with qmailadmin also (I think). I googled it arround and and didn't get much, so I assumed a vqadmin bug at first. But in some of my systems this happens when adding users to domains. Couldn't trace it to a single point. It's not a every time thing though so I figure some bug between mysql5 and vqadmin.

Re: [qmailtoaster] Domain bouncing mail, vuser says user is fine -- still a problem
If i'm correct then this file is used for deliveries. 89:89 can be changed to somethin else so the domain files are owned by somebody else (and use filesystem quota on separate domains). i have a hunch on other variables (they are quite obvious :) ), but i'm not guessing and reading the docs would be right thing to do.

[qmailtoaster] Domain bouncing mail, vuser says user is fine
OK... this is the 3rd time this has happened to me, and the fix I've used in the past just isn't feasible this time... I've got a domain on a qmail-toaster (I've tried migrating to qtplus, but the sandbox creation always fails because of the symbolic links and additional mounted filesystems (backup and home are on separate drives)... but that's another story)... The issue is that after running fine for a while, a domain's mysql database gets reasonably well corrupted. At current, if I do a vdominfo on the domain, it shows what I suspect is an error associated with doing signed arithmetic on an unsigned value, or vice-versa. The number of users is being reported as 2147483647 (which is 7FFF in hex).

Re: [qmailtoaster] Domain bouncing mail, vuser says user is fine
Do a google search for a product called navicat. It's an admin tool MySQL. Once you connect to your MySQL, you'll see the tables. When you right click on a table or group of tables, you have the option to check tables. It will report the state back as ok, crashed, corrupted, etc. On the bad tables, you can right click repair tables. It will then fix any errors it found. I have found Navicat to be a pretty invaluable tool for MySQL. You can get a full feature 30 day demo I think.

Re: [qmailtoaster] Domain bouncing mail, vuser says user is fine -- still a problem
Thanks for the pointer to the tool, Phil... Unfortunately, it appears that the # of users bug is a symptom, not the real problem. Using navicat, I have repaired the # of users entry in the dir_control field. However, my users on this system all remain unable to receive email. (same error) I have also verified (to the best of my limited ability) that the remaining mysql table entries (for dir_control, and the domain) are sane by comparing their entries with another server's tables... The users are able to SEND messages just fine -- it's just their inbound mail that's bouncing. So I believe chkuser is working fine... what I next need to know is what other facility within qmail-smtp could result in this bounce message, and how can I test it to see where its failing? Thanks again in advance for any help! Dan PS: I have to admit -- I'm getting frustrated with the whole qmail-toaster idea -- being a sys-admin for decades, I'm not used to deploying systems that are magic boxes -- I like to know HOW things work (and WHY they work)... but sendmail was a BITCH (always has been), and I was impressed with what other people had said about the toaster. I'm beginning to think I should learn POSTFIX. sigh at least then, when things broke, I'd have some better ideas about where to look and what to tweak! hopefully, someone will show me a DUH item that will restore my faith in the qmail-toaster idea Daniel McAllister, President IT4SOHO, LLC 2171 Wrens Way Clearwater, FL 33764 877-IT4SOHO: Toll Free 727-647-7646 In Pinellas 813-464-2093 In Hillsborough 727-507-9435 Fax Only When did you do your last backup?

Re: [qmailtoaster] Domain bouncing mail, vuser says user is fine -- still a problem
Jake... I DO have a bad habit of reading the documentation -- I use the vqadmin program solely for retrieving passwords when idiot users forget them -- usually the day after they have reset them for some odd reason. In my environment, clients purchase a server and maintenance from me. They are then able to host their own services (web, file, email, etc) on their own server in a kind of black box configuration -- I do all the maintenance, security audits, etc. for them for a monthly fee. Mail accounts (or more correctly, mailboxes) USED to be tied to User accounts -- until I switched to the toaster. A HUGE benefit, if you ask me! However, users cannot host additional domains without calling support (we haven't automated that task yet.) They can edit webpages, and completely manage their email domain (thanks to qmailadmin), but I don't even give them access to toaster-admin, much less vqadmin. When a client asks for a new domain to be hosted on their system, they submit a request via email. At that time, we add the domain to their DNS, create a space for the web pages to be hosted, create an admin account group for the new domain (who are able to edit the web pages), and lastly create the email domain (vadddomain). I actually then add a couple of items: 1) I set the postmaster account to point to MY postmaster account -- I read the postmaster mail for all domains I administer, whether on my own server or a client's 2) I create an admin user mailbox (usually the owner of the company) and set the password to something we've agreed upon earlier 3) I create webmaster and abuse aliases for my own webmaster and abuse email mailboxes (on my own domain) -- same reason as for postmaster 4) I email the client a PDF document that tells them how to log into qmailadmin on their new webpage, how to use THEIR account (not postmaster) and a brief primer on how to create each type of account (mailbox, alias, responder, and list). They can always call for additional support -- but the issues that new users bring up are usually added to our PDF document so we don't have to answer it again! Which brings me back to my current issue... this client is STILL without email this evening, and I'm looking like an idiot because I've checked everything I know how to check... Are there NO CLI diagnostics that can try to find out why (or just as importantly) WHERE qmail-smtp is failing to find the account??? regards...

I DO have a bad habit of reading the documentation -- I use the vqadmin program solely for retrieving passwords when idiot users forget them -- usually the day after they have reset them for some odd reason. I have no doubt, and hope you do read the sparse docs we've put together. The number 217-whatever is just one that I can reproduce consistently with vqadmin. If you created the domains via the CLI (and I'm assuming the values are correct at that time) and they change later That's an interesting one. Is the mysql DB on a different machine as well? I'm starting to suspect something awry with either a DB being on a different machine, or the filesystems being on a different machine. I know there was an issue with MySQL5 when it came out, and I think the end-result patch just pings the DB every so often to keep the connection alive. Before that everyone was getting cannot connect to DB messages. In my environment, clients purchase a server and maintenance from me. They are then able to host their own services (web, file, email, etc) on their own server in a kind of black box configuration -- I do all the maintenance, security audits, etc. for them for a monthly fee. Very similar to what I offer my clients. When a client asks for a new domain to be hosted on their system, they submit a request via email. At that time, we add the domain to their DNS, create a space for the web pages to be hosted, create an admin account group for the new domain (who are able to edit the web pages), and lastly create the email domain (vadddomain). If you're PHP savvy this could be scripted. I have a bash script I use to create new domains for my clients. It asks for the name, number of mailboxes, quota, etc. and then creates it for me. I actually then add a couple of items: 1) I set the postmaster account to point to MY postmaster account -- I read the postmaster mail for all domains I administer, whether on my own server or a client's 2) I create an admin user mailbox (usually the owner of the company) and set the password to something we've agreed upon earlier 3) I create webmaster and abuse aliases for my own webmaster and abuse email mailboxes (on my own domain) -- same reason as for postmaster 4) I email the client a PDF document that tells them how to log into qmailadmin on their new webpage, how to use THEIR account (not postmaster) and a brief primer on how to create each type of account (mailbox, alias, responder, and list). They can always call for additional support -- but the issues that new users bring up are usually added to our PDF document so we don't have to answer it again! Good ideas. I leave it up to the clients for their bounce messages and what-not. 'Course I also set up and maintain their in-house networks, networks in other states to connect back to the home office, VoIP phone systems, I also do custom projects (http://thebuildercam.com/ as an example, which I built from the ground up in my garage), etc., so I don't feel guilty watching over their stuff as much. My biggest problem right now is AOL. They recently changed their servers, and I chase phantom-bounces all the time for 1 client who checks the mail server for me - 50 times a day. 2 weekends ago he only got 50 emails on a Sunday and was sending me text messages to my phone because he said the email server was broke. He normally averages 150-200 messages a day and figured that 100 or so had gotten lost somewhere. It was just a light day. He didn't know of any emails that actually bounced, but he figured there had to be some. sigh Which brings me back to my current issue... this client is STILL without email this evening, and I'm looking like an idiot because I've checked everything I know how to check... Are there NO CLI diagnostics that can try to find out why (or just as importantly) WHERE qmail-smtp is failing to find the account??? You can use recordio to see what qmail-smtp is doing, and maybe see where the break is. I've been traveling the last few days so I haven't kept up on the threads much. What OS and version? Behind a NAT firewall or public? Are just the /home and /backup dirs on NFS? Thanks. Clearwater, FL 33764 You're not that far from me.
