Re: Side note
What are the contents of the qmail control files? did you use Bruce G's qmail rpm for the Redhat 7 build? If so, did you rm the qmail job from /etc/cron.hourly/ ??

Re: Vpopmail with procmail
* Chris Bunnell [EMAIL PROTECTED] [001119 15:08]: Ahh, the $1.98 question... That's exactly what I DON'T know how to do. There isn't a documented method of telling the Makefile to build to use Maildir rather than mbox... You don't need to do anything. It's just there. I am using 3.15. I've read in a few places that it "supports Maildir out of the box..." and yet when I set it up, it wanted to use /var/mail/spool ... etc. I read the INSTALL and everything else, and it appears that I need to edit the Makefile and possibly the src/authenticate.c file. I gave it the Nah, just make sure that your target mailboxes end in a slash. For instance, I filter all of my mail for this list into a separate mailbox: MAILDIR=/home/pcg/mail [...] :0 * ^Delivered-To: mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] lists/vpopmail/ Thus, all of this mailing list e-mail goes into a Maildir at /home/pcg/mail/lists/vpopmail/. I don't know if the trailing slash thing is actually documented... :( In any case, if you want to test it to just get all of your e-mail delivered to $HOME/Maildir/, set up the following .procmailrc file: # change for your Maildir/ path DEFAULT=/home/macgyver/Maildir/ That's it! /pg -- Peter Green : Gospel Communications Network, SysAdmin : [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- "By golly, I'm beginning to think Linux really *is* the best thing since sliced bread."

Re: recommended setup for pop3
Re: recommended setup for pop3 My initial connections are a little slow in the morning after my Redhat 7.0 box has been sleeping overnight, but otherwise my pop3d runs just fine as set up by Bruce Guenter's qmail-1.03+patches-16.src.rpm exec tcpserver -dHRvX -c "$concurrency" \ -x /etc/tcpcontrol/pop-3.cbd 0 pop-3 \ qmail-popup "$hostname" \ $checkpass \ qmail-pop3d Maildir/ I think some clients need the delay -d rather than -D to connect right. --R stops tcpserver from trying to obtain $TCPREMOTEINFO from the remote host. hope that fixes it for you :-) Adam At 03:11 PM 11/8/00 -0800, James wrote: Can someone that's running vpopmail with 600+ users please recommend a better way of running the pop3 service? My current setup is running it out of tcpserver, and my run script(for svscan) is at the end of this message. The problem that I'm having with this setup, is many many people are getting a fairly decent amount of lag when first connecting to the server.. at least 20 seconds.. but many people are also NOT having any lag at all. I've managed to connect to the server with over 200 simultaneous sessions, and I still had room for more. Another problem is that some of our customers' email clients are timing out during authorization (but they do manage to connect). None of this can be internet lag, as it's all local network traffic. I've noticed at most 8 concurrent pop3 sessions going. I'm completely lost as to where to go with this now. I really hate the idea of having to go back to NT for email, but this may be the only option, as too many people are calling up to complain. In case anyone is interested, the server is FreeBSD 4.1.1-STABLE. It's services include: smtp, pop3, and http for sqwebmail. The box is a Pentium I - 200MMX, with 64MB RAM, 160MB swap, a 20GB drive, and a Netgear FA310TX NIC. Here's the contents of the pop3 run script: #!/bin/sh exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 100 \ /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -H -D -c 150 -v \ -u vpopmail -g vchkpw 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup \ mail.ourdomain.net /usr/local/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 21
