[vchkpw] vpopmail + procmail problem for users above 100
Dear all, I have a qmail mailserver with vpopmail. I am creating users using vadduser command. I had created some 8 domain name with some 150 users in total domainnames.The main domainname is like test.com . Domain names are like thistest.com - 80 usersadmin.test.com - 10 usersafd.test.com - 5 usersamd.test.com - 7 usersstaff.test.com- 8 usersrd.test.com- 9 userscse.test.com-10 userselect.test.com-5users Now one more problem occured. I have setup procmail in all users directory. There will be .qmail-guest . in /home/vpopmail/domains/test.com/.This file is like this | preline procmail -t ./guest/Maildir/Procmail/procmailrc In procmail folder procmailrc file is like this SHELL=/bin/sh PMDIR=./guest/Maildir/Procmail LOGFILE=$PMDIR/pmlog VERBOSE=on :0 * ./guest/Maildir/ this syntax i was following till number of users were below 100. Filtering with procmail was also working for users below 100. Now after 100 users i added the .qmail-username file,procmailrc file but filtering is not working. I had checked the filepaths in procmailrc files, it was currect.. Please suggest me a solution why the filtering with procmail was not working for users created after 100. Th anks for any help _ Hey there NRIs! Desi news, films, n more! http://www.msn.co.in/nri/ Stay in the loop!
[vchkpw] [OT] Storage Performance
We are running a qmail/vpopmail 'cluster' with the backend storage shared via NFS from a Solaris 8 system. Our mail system delivers approximately 400K messages a day on a disk system that has 30 10K drives in a RAID 10 setup. This has worked fine for us for a few years, but we are now finding that the system's performance may not be able to accomodate future growth for much longer. I was wondering if anyone is experiencing this same problem, and what different approaches are being used to solve it. Thanks in advance, Duane Wylie

Write a script to build the .qmail-guest and procmailrc files, but have it use vuserinfo to get the user's real home directory (which may be ~vpopmail/domains/domain.xyz/0/guest). -- Tom Collins - [EMAIL PROTECTED] QmailAdmin: http://qmailadmin.sf.net/ Vpopmail: http://vpopmail.sf.net/ Info on the Sniffter hand-held Network Tester: http://sniffter.com/
Re: [vchkpw] [OT] Storage Performance
I've had similar problems on our server platform that is much more modest in both hardware although demand is probably the same. We generally handle about 300k messages a day inbound that are from outside, plus there are 20k or so a day internal (we're an ISP, so by internal I mean messages that don't leave our network). Our platform is two AMD1700+ processor based mail servers, one acting primarily as an NFS server, and exports its mail share over NFS. We had been for a long time experiencing periodic high load issues. Two things have fixed this. The first is simply to reduce the amount of mail handled. It is probably desirable to split out your outbound smtp server if you haven't already. Storage isn't really much of an issue for that, just enough to spool if something gets backed up. But, it is read/write intensive on the drive, so removing it will mean a lot less demand on your disk server.Also, using the chkuser package to reject messages for unknown users out of hand will also drastically reduce load on your mail server, as the default unpatched qmail behavior is to accept such messages, and then send out an error message. This, again, involves a lot of disk i/o activicty. The other method that I have done is just to increase the IO on the fileserver. We were doing IDE raid1; I have replaced this with a SATA raid 5 system. That has entirely solved all load issues. With as many drives as you have, I would think that the SCSI raid should be able to handle that amount without a problem. Use various benchmarking tecnniques to isolate the issue...do you have bandwidth issues getting to the machine? Then (if you haven't already), impliment a seperate physical network using secondary ethernet interfaces to handle all of NFS traffic. Upgrade to gigabit. If it is disk issues, then make sure that you are tuning the disks as much as possible. Isolate all non-essential disk I/O functions to another disk and/or server (outbound SMTP, accepting of unknown email addresses, and the qmail queue folder) to reduce unneccesary disk I/O.

Thanks for the direction...but I appear to be following it as is. Stuff of interest follows from my run file: exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 400 \ /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -vR -l $LOCAL -c $MAXSMTPD \ -u $VPOPMAILUID -g $VPOPMAILGID 0 smtp \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd \ /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /usr/bin/true 21 Any other options ???

Re: [vchkpw] Re: SMTP Auth delay...can it be sped up ????
Ok fine...I did exactly as it states and it didn't make a difference. It takes from 20 to 40 seconds to send an email...that's horrible. If I disable TLS it's immediateI can see qmail-smtpd just sitting there while it's authenticating..the entire time. Should I use http://inoa.net/qmail-tls/ instead of Bill Shupp's patch vpopmail 15967 0.0 0.180 760 ?? I 10:35PM0:00.00 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /usr/bin/tru How many seconds does it take to send an email for others using this patch ?
