RE: [vchkpw] Archiving mail
There is a patched qmail-scanner which has the archive option to archive all emails. See the link for detail: http://xoomer.virgilio.it/j.toribio/qmail-scanner/configure-options.html. -Original Message- From: Bill Gradwohl [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 25, 2004 3:03 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [vchkpw] Archiving mail I know this subject has been touched on several times on this and the qmail list, but I have yet to see a comprehensive resolution, so please bear with me. Texas courts are now moving legal documents via email between the respective attorney's offices, and attorneys are asking for a way to archive everything in and out of a virtual domain as a permanent record. The Subject: contains a case number. SEC regulations as well as Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) require those affected by these rules to archive all inbound and outbound mail. qmail has a rudimentary facility to do this with a patch to the extra.h file. It doesn't archive a duplicate of the mail, but simply ads an artificial CC to it to force the rest of the system to send a modified copy of the email to a specific location. That may or may not satisfy SEC or SOX requirements - I don't know. One can argue that what the archive holds was never sent to the server due to the CC modification. When vpopmail is added to the mix, the promise of the extra.h patch looses its usefulness as what most sites want/need is an archive per virtual domain or even per user, not for the box as a whole. Its been mentioned that maildrop can archive mail, but I believe it can only do this for mail that eventually gets analyzed via a .qmail file. There is no mechanism for mail sent out to be archived via maildrop. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Is there a comprehensive way to archive mail EXACTLY AS IT WAS SENT, either in to the domain or out from the domain, IN A VPOPMAIL ENVIRONMENT, on at least a virtual domain level? If so, how? Note - recordio is not a solution. Adding extra delivery instructions in the .qmail file for a user is less than satisfactory especially since it will only archive a facsimile of the mail and then only for mail send to the domain, completely missing any mail originating on the domain destined for the outside world. -- Bill Gradwohl [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ycc.com
RE: [vchkpw] forward emails to remote users for local domain
Just resend the reply for last week's discussion. I wrote a patch (or quick hack) to do this and have been running this setup in production for more than four months without any problem. The patch for 5.4.3 is located at http://www.sigrity.com/oss/vdelivermail.c.patch-5.4.3 and more patches can be generated if requested. If more people are interested in this, we could propose a mailhost field just like in qmail-ldap to make it cleaner. Here is the brief setup instruction: For two mail servers (can be more) mail1.x.com and mail2.a.com. Any of mail servers can be MX hosts. 1] Setup vpopmail on both mail servers to host x.com as usual. 2] Add mail1.x.com as an alias to x.com domain on mail1.x.com and add mail1.x.com to VPOPMAILHOME/etc/locals 3] Add mail2.x.com as an alias to x.com domain on mail2.x.com and add mail2.x.com to VPOPMAILHOME/etc/locals 4] Set user fullname to Full [EMAIL PROTECTED] for email accounts on mail1.x.com 5] Set user fullname to Full [EMAIL PROTECTED] for email accounts on mail2.x.com All emails are routed according the setting in the fullname field and using SMTP (not like qmail-ldap). The vpopmail db needs to be synchronized between sites so mysql backend is preferred but cdb should work too.

So you need it to go to the other server. It seems like this was discussed on the mailling list in the last week or so. It's not simple, so I suggest reading the archives.

You have these users: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] userA is a true local user with a full account. userB needs to just forward the email to another location, and has no vpopmail account. If this is correct, then simply setting up a forward in qmailadmin will work. If instead, userB has a vpopmail account but needs mail /copied/ to a remote email, you should go into the account settings for that user in qmailadmin, and set it to forward their email, but also check the box to keep a copy.

RE: [vchkpw] How to Split a domain into 2 machines?
-Original Message- From: Bruno Negrão [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 20, 2004 2:10 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [vchkpw] How to Split a domain into 2 machines? Hi all, I have to solve the famous problem of splitting a unique domain into 2 remote machines. One machine gonna be the MX for the domain but will contain only part of the e-mail accounts. The other half of the e-mail accounts will be configured in the other server. Creating two subdomains *is not a valid alternative* for me. Is it possible to do this elegantly with vpopmail? Until now, the most elegant solution i have seen is using Qmail + qmail-ldap patch + Open LDAP. In this scenario, vpopmail wouldn't be used. I know there is also a vpopmail-ldap patch, but i understood that it doesn't foresee the case of splitting a domain into two different servers. Thanks in advance, bnegrao I wrote a patch (or quick hack) to do this and have been running this setup in production for more than months without any problem.

It happens on the FreeBSD too. The floor is in the libm. Edit the Makefile and change -lz to -lz -lm and it will compile fine. For vi, just do 1,$ s/-lz/-lz -lm/g.

Re: [vchkpw] Spamassassin: i wish..
Is it possible not to hard code the header? CRM114 just like SA can add a header like X-CRM114-Status: SPAM for identified spam emails. If the header is not hard coded, then vpopmail can work with both SA and CRM114 or other spam filters.

I think this should be made an option, if it is not set, look for vlimits.default, if it is set, then use it hard coded, Yes, better. Very well. In the patch I have based on the BSD patch, it uses the required_hits in the system global setting, normally in /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf and can be overriden by a users .spamassassin/users_pref file. So there is no need for an --enable-spam-threshold option. Spamassassin adds a header X-Spam-Flag: YES if the email goes over the required_hit count. I'm going to try and add the code to the cvs version over the weekend. Ken Jones
