Re: [vchkpw] Filesystem question
Bill Wichers wrote: I've got a qmail/vpopmail/courier system at the moment that supports a fair load that continues to increase. At the moment everything runs on sevaral ext3 partions on top of LVM (to allow online expansion) on a RAID5 array using a hardware controller with write back cache. I'm thinking that there are probably more efficient filesystems than ext3 for at least some of this, and have been thinking about using xfs (faster but still journaling), or maybe ext2 (very fast but no journaling) for at least the qmail queue. Does anyone have some recommendations for the filesystem to use on the partitions? Right now there are three partitions on the system, one for qmail's queue, one for the virus scanner's temp files, and one for the vpopmail maildirs. I have to be able to do online expansion for at least the maildirs due to IMAP and user requirements. Any recommendations or insights would be appreciated! -Bill We were using ext3 software raid5 on linux for a database server. We experienced some slowness/unresponsive problems similar to: https://listman.redhat.com/archives/ext3-users/2002-October/msg00073.html so we're going to try giving ext2 a try. it's not in production yet but so far it does seem faster.
Re: [vchkpw] Spam Protection with vpopmail and qmail
We run spamassassin with vpopmail and it works great. Gonzo wrote: Hello. I have qmail with vpopmail installed. I don't know how to filter out spam mails. SpamAssassin seems to not support virtual domains and even if it would support them, how to tell procmail to filter mails for vpopmail? Gonzo

[vchkpw] apostrophe in username?
I'm trying to add a username of to'donnel using the qmailadmin interface as well as on the command line with vadduser and I'm returned Illegal username. Am I out of luck?
Re: [vchkpw] apostrophe in username?
Peter, thanks for the tip using quotes around the apostrophe when using vassuser. I was pulling out my hair trying every other kind of escape before the apostrophe. quotes around it works perfectly. i'd also like to know where in the rfc it forbids an apostrophe because i cannot find it.

Am I out of luck? it is simply not allowed to have ' in usernames. have a look at the rfc's .. I wonder what part of the RFC exactly you're referring to?!? I couldn't find the rule that forbids 0x39 in username. Could you elaborate?
