Re: [vchkpw] Why does Inter7 opt Qmail?
I cannot name any company name but I used to work for a large telecommunications provider. They are world leader for supplying mobile operators with core network solutions like SMS and WAP. While designing their MMS solution they had to choose an MTA to handle all the email involved in MMS. Of all the options, they choose qmail becuase it was secure, scalable and very reliable. Also their idea of scalable and reliale is 99.999% uptime and 200 msg/sec. That secures qmail as my mail server, always!! -Dougal > On Tue, 5 Jul 2005 15:05:22 -0300 > Bruno Negrão <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> >does your boss have a rationale for his doubts, or are they based >> >upon a 'gut' feeling? usually doubts arise based upon shortcomings. >> >what shortcoming does your boss see in qmail (note, small 'q' - it >> >is not "Qmail"). >> >> OK.

Re: [vchkpw] mail relay problems ...
I don't consider myself much of a code man or guru on mail servers but when I choose qmail, I know I have to get my sleeves rolled up and get stuck in.. Also when making your own mail server, shouldn't you have a little idea of what you are getting into...

Re: [vchkpw] mail relay problems ...
Also for anyone else running qmail/vpopmail on a Gentoo system and using the SMTP-AUTH patch, a change from r13 to r15 will break your setup unless you update your USE flags. It is related to notlsbeforeauth feature. See the following posting for more details: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-339867-highlight-smtpauth.html Be warned anyone running qmail/vpopmail on Gentoo r15 is a bit of a headache when upgrading. -Dougal > This is pretty much in responce to Jeffrey A Schmidt's mail called "can't > relay any more" posted on Fri, 15 Apr 2005 17:28:34 -0700 > > Jeffrey, > > Gentoo has once again made HUGE changes to a package without informing > it's users thereof before allowing the package to install. > > this is from the ebuild : > > einfo "Use of vpopmail's tcp.smtp[.cdb] is also deprecated now, consider" > einfo "using net-mail/relay-ctrl instead." > > incase you're wondering what this means ... > > from the install section: > > econf \ > ##SNIP## > --disable-tcp-rules-prog --disable-tcpserver-file > --disable-roaming-users \ > || die > > # TCPRULES for relaying is now considered obsolete, use relay-ctrl > instead > #--enable-tcprules-prog=/usr/bin/tcprules > --enable-tcpserver-file=/etc/tcp.smtp \ > #--enable-roaming-users=y --enable-relay-clear-minutes=60 \ > #--disable-rebuild-tcpserver-file \ > > They have disabled roaming users aka relaying in vpopmail.

[vchkpw] Problems with qmail/vpopmail/maildop
Hi,
I am having problems trying to get maildrop working in my mail server.
Have been using this configuration on a Redhat box for over a year and
recently moved to a Gentoo solution. Getting maildrop to work is the only
part that is failing.
To build the server, I have used the following gentoo documentation:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/qmail-howto.xml
Everything is running well but I get permission problems when I try to
introduce maildrop. I am getting the following errors in the qmail-send
logs:
@400042bdac521ae5d764 new msg 1109815
@400042bdac521ae5e704 info msg 1109815: bytes 1568 from
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> qp 2638 uid 210
@400042bdac521d5d0954 starting delivery 4890: msg 1109815 to local
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
@400042bdac521d5dfb84 status: local 1/10 remote 0/20
@400042bdac522a5dbdc4 delivery 4890: deferral:
maildrop:_error_writing_to_mailbox.//usr/bin/maildrop:_Unable_to_deliver_to_mailbox./
@400042bdac522a5dcd64 status: local 0/10 remote 0/20
I have checked the permissions of all the maildrop related files and the
maildir:
xen2 qmail-send # ls -la /usr/bin/maildrop
-rwxr-x--- 1 vpopmail mail 166816 May 18 19:25 /usr/bin/maildrop
xen2 qmail-send # ls -la /etc/maildrop/mailfilter
-rw--- 1 vpopmail vpopmail 545 May 18 20:28 /etc/maildrop/mailfilter
This is my .qmail-default and corresponding mailfilter.
xen2 qmail-send # cat /var/vpopmail/domains/hippotje.com/.qmail-default |
/usr/bin/maildrop /etc/maildrop/mailfilter
xen2 qmail-send # cat /etc/maildrop/mailfilter
import EXT
import HOST
import HOME
MAX = 15
VHOME=`/var/vpopmail/bin/vuserinfo -d [EMAIL PROTECTED]
VPOP="| /var/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox"
JUNKFOLDER=".Spam"
if ($VHOME)
{
`test -d "$VHOME/.maildir/$JUNKFOLDER"`
if( $RETURNCODE != 1 )
{
if ( $SIZE < 262144 )
{
exception {
xfilter "/usr/bin/spamc -f -u [EMAIL PROTECTED]"
}
}
}
if (/^X-Spam-Flag: *YES/)
{
to "$VHOME/.maildir/$JUNKFOLDER/"
}
else
{
to "$VHOME/.maildir/"
}
}
else
{
to $VPOP
}
And finally -v output from maildrop.

Does anybody have any advice? This is the key to my complete mail server!!
I don't know if this is maildrop or vpopmail or qmail causing me the
issue.
Kind regards,
Dougal
