RE: [vchkpw] Vpopmail + NetApp still best practice?
While youre considering proprietary solutions and naturally, would like to pay for them, perhaps you should consider redhat's GFS thingie. Its GPL but redhat offers it with their AS for an extra $$ Ive seen it work and it seems like quite a scalable solution and tipically cheaper than buying a SAN. However, sans do offer plenty advantages on some environments (wann have the winboxes and linboxes scsi-plugged into the same san), if this is just for email, this can be a cheaper solution. With this kind of thing, what you get to do is plug three or more boxes with whatever storage they have and then store on all of them. This thing works with LVM2 so you can partition, snapshot and share it to your hearts content. Put a solid GB net on it with separate NICS (from the NICS youll be using to actually provide service) for best results. On Wed, 2006-02-22 at 14:20 -0600, Nicholas Harring wrote: Hi, when going the Maildir on NFS for clustering-route, is using NetApp Filers still considered state of the art or has something better emerged? There are plenty of other NAS options, see EMC for one vendor (also not cheap). Dell offers NAS, HP I believe does as well. Not sure how much clustering they offer, and what sort of feature set it has compared to NetApp. From a price-point, I'd rather use FreeBSD, but the fact that there's no real volume-manager makes it unusable for our purposes. I've actually mailed Blue Arc about their hardware, but despite not being in the black, they didn't feel it necessary to answer my query. For a smaller cluster or one that doesn't have hard uptime commitments in the 4 or 5 9s range I'd say that a *nix solution would work just fine. If you laid something like Veritas Clustering on top of it then moving into the real HA range should also be quite possible and supportable. Does anybody have any sizing-information? NetApp offers a lot of hardware and even the entry-level stuff is not cheap. I'd like to know how many deliveries/h one can make e.g. with a small FAS 270. I'm running 8 servers (4 smtp, 4 pop/imap) on an F820c cluster doing around 600k messages daily. I don't have any hourly stats at the moment, but that load is spread with about 80% across 10-12 hours with the remainder spread evenly across the other 12-14. I'm currently upgrading my cluster to FAS3050s but not due to performance reasons, but rather storage consolidation throughout my network. To see how that compares you might try using their spec_nfs numbers since they'd be roughly representative of the type of load you'd be using. cheers, Rainer I do have to say NetApp has been the easiest, most reliable vendor I've ever worked with in the IT realm. Their support is top notch, the only time there's been a hardware failure they knew about it before I did (I was out to lunch when the drive died and they called moments later). Even their VARs actually add value rather than just price. For sizing I initially worked with the VAR they use in the Chicago area (INCAT) and they were immensely helpful in determining what we needed and not overselling me. One other consideration when using NetApp is that they have a lot of features that would help with things like disaster recovery, backups, etc. These are the areas where NetApp and EMC typically clobber everyone else, and the reason you find them so frequently in high volume high availability data environments. Hope that helps, Nick

Re: [vchkpw] Why does Inter7 opt Qmail?
So hollistic has this internet of humans has become. I was actually trying to research how to make vpopmail work with postfix because i HATE the way (or lack thereoff) we have in qmail to put an extra email in each email sent (like a disclaimer or non disclosure text in each email). It seems postfix has a very well documented way to do this, and it seems ive found a page (in italian) that tells me its also doable in qmail... Im tired of relying on web pages i scarecely know off to fix my qmail problems. I want to move to postfix because its so well documented. So, where can i find the documents to move my vpopmail install from qmail to postfix?

Wrong. I has been developed in such a way that functionality has to be added in the form of patches, and it is suffering greatly from age now. qmail is very powerful and vpopmail makes it relatively simple to use, but it is stagnant, old, hard to use without patches and just plain old doesn't work at all if you try to use the original source on a modern system (it'll fail to compile or do strange things). DJB let this baby into the wild, but didn't allow it to find its own way. If it weren't secure and relatively well supported, it would die. I'll go a step further, if it hadn't been a godsend in 1996 compared to Sendmail, it wouldn't have gone anywhere. But, times have moved on! DJB should let it go under some license - maybe BSD or GPL, so that the community can do something with it. UCSPI-TCP and Daemontools, too. It's also hard to program for. A lot of DJB's code relationships are like a foreign language. Not that it's wrong, just that it's difficult. Qmail is a master piece, I can assure you that. I don't know why most of the distributors do not include qmail but nobody can deny that qmail has became the most powerfull and secure mailserver ever and has been growing very very fast. It was a masterpiece in 1996. Now it's just a solid mail server with just enough functionality added by patch maintainers to get the job done. No doubt it's a workhorse, I have at least 10 machines using qmail for Internet e-mail, but I've seen strange things in the 9 years I've been using it. I'm relatively happy with vpopmail + qmail + patches, but saying that qmail is some wondrous software package is bunk. It's looking mighty old these days... vpopmail and qmail should be one package that gets distributed along with modernization patches, and it would be that way if DJB didn't have his claws of death on a piece of code that he last updated in 1997. That's abandonment, and the software really is starting to creak in terms of relevancy. (go to qmail.org, i'm the one who designed the look of it... don't blame me if you don't like the layout, though...)

This is a common problemwith qmailscanner. Id also point you to the LWQ way of instalation.

Re: [vchkpw] Clustering
Well... i did some research for a proposed 120k maildirs on this setup, although with squirrelmail. Here are some big pointers: A) The bottleneck of smtp is the storage (good storage bandwith), since its such a simple protocol. Still, storage bandwith is the important thing in the whole analysis cause if thats slow (you generate more IOPS than what the storage can handle), everything will suck. B) The bulk processing youll need, will be generated by email analysis C) The second largest processing hog will be the webserver with the webmail cgi's The combo of this premises takes you down to this: 1) Take the average number of emails you think your users receive. 10-20 per day is a reasonable estimate for some uses (schools for example). Then also an average email size. Multiply one by another, youll get your kbps per mailbox. 2) Take into account if you are using pop or imap as the mailbox protocol. Imap will charge more IOPS in a first analysis, but over time, it actually takes less (cause users can delete email they dont want before reading it). Also, work into the model the usage pattern of your users... how about: 80% of the users check email from 9:00 to 9:30 AM. Youll be able to calculate the IOPS generated from such an ugly, although typical, peak. Also, mbox format will be easyer on the IOPS, but a lot tougher to the imap server. So, choose mbox vs maildir carefully. 3) As you want email analaysis (antispam, antiviri), youll want to calculate how many emails can that really deliver (you can say you receive 1 emails per second, but the virus/spam farm wont be able to actually deliver that many to the storage, unless you have an UberFast bunch of servers doing the analysis). Put all that into your opencalc, play with it, make a test farm, present to boss ask for a raiseget a denial... go look for another job...;-) Now...techietalkin about the techs for this: Id go for ldap/sql based user management (as your admin tools allow), consolidated, replicated storage (SAN, DRBD or GFS), LVS for the load balancing, the smaller protocol for internal email passing (i dont remember the name, its an much smaller, simpler, smtp lookalike that suits delivery between servers on a farm). I did some search on google and I have found clustering solution offered by HP Proliant DL380 G3 Packaged Cluster and a solution offered by Netapp using their Filers ( F710 for example) which I have found it here on this mailing list. I also checked LVS and I have found someone with the same setup, who mentioned that there are some modifications to be made on the sources.

9 times out of ten, this is related to your dns in your dmz resolving to the external address of your email server (or, not having a different view in your DNS for your DMZ...) , thus it tries to send to that address to which the firewall wont let him (cannot send to the external address from within the DMZ)...

[vchkpw] Sorry....
I guess you get this question every day and twice on sundays, although
not on this list since ive checked the archives.
Now, the thing is, i cannot get to compile courier-imap (0.42.2, source
package as distributed in debian sarge. Courier latest stable vanilla
also fails the exact same way) with vpopmail (latest stable vanilla) in
debian due to two things:
1.- Configure fails due to a missing /home/vpopmail/etc/lib_deps which
is just not there. I 'touch' it and configure continues
2.- After doing that, it fails when linking the vchkpwd auth stuff. This
happens even if i copy /home/vpopmail/lib/libvpopmail.a to /usr/lib.
Im compling all this from the /usr/local/src directory with all the

As you can see, i took away the without-vchkpw directive so that it
correctly attempts to configure for vpopmail.
The courier people (from their ml archives) claim it all the vpopmail's
people fault, i think they can be pretty snotty but hey, its their imap
server
So, any help would be greatly appreciated
Re: [vchkpw] Sorry....
No better teacher than one selfsorry for the happy trigger, i shouldve researched a bit morehere is the solution with the latest vanilla courier imap: 1.- Dont know why /home/vpopmail/etc/lib_deps and inc_deps is not created by vpopmail installBUT, you need to put in there the includes and libs that courier will need to link into vpopmail. Here is mine: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/courier-imap-2.2.1$ cat /home/vpopmail/etc/lib_deps -L/home/vpopmail/lib -lvpopmail -L/usr/lib/ -lmysqlclient -lz [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/courier-imap-2.2.1$ cat /home/vpopmail/etc/inc_deps -I/home/vpopmail/include 2.- Even then, as vpopmail sets the permissions on the ~/lib directory to +x to root and to vpopmail.a +r only to root, youll need to either change (temporarily) the permissions so that the compiling user can read and change into the directory. To be on the safe side, you can put in /etc/ld.so.conf the /home/vpopmail/lib directory. Thats what i did, it worked. Now, ill keep you posted on DOES IT RUN? 3.- Too much to keep track off with my previous configure options so, i changed to what the inter7 vpopmail faq recomends
