morercpthosts being eaten
Hi, Something is eating at my morerctphosts file. Entries are randomly (it seems) disappearing. Has anyone seen anything like this before? Or anyone know of anything that could be doing this? I'm running qmail 1.03, vpopmail 4.8.9 and qmailadmin 0.30 on SuSE 6.4 (Linux kernel 2.2.13). If you need any more information about the setup, just ask.

If you need any more information about the setup, just ask. I can give you insight into the vpopmail library processing that affects morerctphosts file and it's associated morercpthosts.cdb file. The vpopmail library tries to encapsulate the following processing: "Rule of thumb for large sites: Put your 50 most commonly used domains into rcpthosts, and the rest into morercpthosts." - from qmail-smtpd manual page When vadddomain is run, it counts the entries in rcpthosts file. If there are more than 20 it places the domain in morercpthosts. "You must run qmail-newmrh whenever morercpthosts changes." - from qmail-smtpd manual page The above processing is also encapsulated into the vpopmail library. So when vadddomain modifies morercpthosts it also execs qmail-newmrh. The reverse is true of vdeldomain call. It will remove the domain from rcpthosts or morercpthosts. If it removes it from morercpthosts it will exec qmail-newrh. I'm not sure how the above information fits into the problem you are observing. One thing I have noticed with vpopmail and the files. It is possible to confuse vpopmail library with strange entries in these files. If it's a new system, you might get by with cleaning out all the files and starting fresh. Ken Jones
