Dear all, I have been trawling through all the docs I can find trying to find the answer to the question: When I am using dot-qmail extension files to process mail through a script, is there any way to view the output produced by the scripts when they process an e-mail? I desperately need to find the answer to this question so I can complete an upgrade for a system which has recently come into my care.

Hi, I had the same problem - it is Solaris 7 - it has a OS bug that keeps the qmail-smtpd and qmail-queue processes hanging around indefinatly - (well almost ) and this eats up memory and slows everything down - A major pain :)) TO FIX - you cannot just upgrade to solaris 8 - you need to re-install from scratch - I have tried the recommended patches and it does not work - I have tried the upgrade and still does not work. Trust me - from scratch is the only way - major pain - :))) If you have more questions - please mail me - I have experience with solaris and qmail 9limited I must admit - but some none the less).

Hi, bjv wrote: > We are having serious issues with this problem, and I am desperate to find > a solution. > > Is there any documentation of this problem with qmail1.03 and Solaris 7? The only documentation I could find is from the mailing list archives - other people have had problems - serious ones - I had them as well. Some of the others have tried the ecommened patch set for solaris 7 and have had some success - but I have tried everything (well almost) and the only thing that has worked is a complete re-install with solaris 8. > > Did yu find any documents on the web substantiating this as a 'known > problem'? > As I said the guys at Sun will not own up - so to speak, but they say - unofficially - that there "might be something there" > I really appreciate your help, I just cannot make a decision to move to > Solaris 8 on our qmail boxes based on one response. > > Thanks you very much for your help. If this is indeed the problem I would > be so grateful for your help identifying it as such. I know what you mean - it took me printing lotsa pages just to get management to see things as they are. A little background: qmail 1.03 running on a pentium 166MMX with 64MB ram and a 2GB HDD runnnign redhat 6.2 - being hit by postal with about 3000 - 6000 concurrent SMTP connections - drops about 15% of the connections. and after the onslaught - clears all the smtp and queue processes. A Enterprise 250 with 512MB ram 2 300Mhz CPU's and 50GB HDD running solaris 7 - running the same postal paramaters - chewed up all the ram and droped 90% of smtp connections after 1 hour!!!!! After re-install of Solaris 8 - same setup as before the sparc machine handled 30000 concurrent smtp connections and droped 10% of them. after the onslaught it cleared all the smtp and queue processes cleanly... it also used only 300MB of ram!!! I converted the E450 and 4500 sparc machines and performance went thru the roof!!! I have done extensive testing - and also installed Iain Patersons mysql patch - which improved things even more (after a few hassels :)) I can try and find the docs and papaerwork - but try searching on the mailling list archive for sparc7 and process hanging... Best of luck Tonino

You need to find out who is using all that memory and CPU, and either fix it or decide you need to add processor and memory. Once you've got spare capacity on the machine, you should modify your concurrencyremote setting and your allowed concurrent incoming connections (tcpserver -cN where N is the max incoming concurrent connections) so that they can use the capacity. But I recommend fixing your CPU/RAM problems first. -- gowen -- Greg Owen -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I found out from top that mysqld is taking most of the cpu utilization. Now how to customize it?

> I found out from top that mysqld is taking most of the > cpu utilization. Now how to customize it?That's a better question for a MySQL list. The problem can fall into one of three categories: 1) MySQL itself has a bug which is being exercised and which needs fixing 2) Your company's code is inefficiently using MySQL and should be optimized 3) MySQL is fine, your code is fine, you just need more server for 24000 users You'll need to find a MySQL resource that can help you with those questions. This list isn't it. > Server is hanging up and it won't respond to ctrl-alt-del I would definitely raise that on a MySQL list. I have never seen a server with MySQL hit that failure mode, but my MySQL server experience was with much smaller installations. There are probably MySQL diagnostics and logs which can help you figure out why things are getting that bad. -- gowen -- Greg Owen -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hello all, Now that I have restored some order to my qmail system with the SIGHUP command (again THANKs to all who helped on that one...) I would like to know if it is possible to recover/deliver all the messages that are sitting in the bounced directory. Is there anyway of retrieving who tried to send to whom so I could do some sort of nice forwarded of those bounced emails to their intended recipients? also, in what directory will i find this mail-log file for the error messages that have accumulated - i'm sure that there are many during that 2 day period... finally, is anyone familiar with this error message -BTW is there a listing of all qmail error messages and their causes somewhere?

Hi I picked up the small skript "checkattach" from Noel G. Mistula and modified to do "Subject:" type filtering. Do the following: 1. Install the script in /usr/local/bin. 2. chmod +x checksubj 3. Add this skript into your user's .qmail files and - if applicable - into /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-default (first line:) |/usr/local/bin/checksubj ~/Maildir/ etc. 4. Modify the subject text fields in "checksubj" to your needs, eg. add "|*insurance*". The script evaluates the string case sensitive! It allows wildcards, but be carefull! 5. The sender becomes the E-Mail bounced. 6. You can watch the results (and test the script) viewing your Maillog. cheers. eh.#!/bin/sh # # qmail -- checksubj # Author: Dr. Erwin Hoffmann - FEHCom # Date: 2000-06-02 # Version: 0.1 # # I use this in a user's .qmail file # by adding the line # |/usr/local/bin/checksubj # before the ./Maildir/ # printsubj () { echo "Your E-Mail was rejected is because it contained a Subject like: $SUBJECTLINE." echo "Sorry, we don't accept those E-Mails." } checksubject () { case $SUBJECTLINE in I-LOVE-YOU|ASSURANCE) printsubj $SUBJECTLINE exit 100;; *) ;; esac } SUBJECT=`(grep "Subject: " | awk -F: '{print $2}')` for SUBJECTLINE in $SUBJECT do checksubject $SUBJECTLINE done exit 0+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | fff hh http://www.fehcom.de Dr. Erwin Hoffmann | | ff hh | | ff eee hhhh ccc ooo mm mm mm Wiener Weg 8 | | fff ee ee hh hh cc oo oo mmm mm mm 50858 Koeln | | ff ee eee hh hh cc oo oo mm mm mm | | ff eee hh hh cc oo oo mm mm mm Tel 0221 484 4923 | | ff eeee hh hh ccc ooo mm mm mm Fax 0221 484 4924 | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+

However, with this configuration, I [EMAIL PROTECTED] never gets any message coming to me from hotmail.com. Maybe there's something wrong with the "if", but I can't see it. Furthermore I think that with this configuration some mails (the ones from hotmail.com) get thrown back into the queue and come back to me several times. Is there anybody able to shed some light.

It'll match only addresses that start with zero or more spaces, followed by @hotmail.co followed by zero or more m's. That's not what you want. Chris
I have some more question about this... So, the email gets to the internal servers but can the internal servers be sendmail servers or they must also be qmail servers and will the users be able to read their messages from the internet???

Hello all, did this note go out earlier today? if so, I apologize for the repeat... Now that I have restored some order to my qmail system with the SIGHUP command (again THANKs to all who helped on that one...) I would like to know if it is possible to recover/deliver all the messages that are sitting in the bounced directory. Is there anyway of retrieving who tried to send to whom so I could do some sort of nice forwarded of those bounced emails to their intended recipients? also, in what directory will i find this mail-log file for the error messages that have accumulated - i'm sure that there are many during that 2 day period... finally, is anyone familiar with this error message -BTW is there a listing of all qmail error messages and their causes somewhere?

Does anyone have a patch to qmailanalog to read the new multilog time format? Ken Jones inter7
On 07-Jun-2000, Ken Jones wrote: > Does anyone have a patch to qmailanalog to read > the new multilog time format? It's not a patch like you want, but in case you want to know how to make it work: I use a C program called tai64nfrac found on qmail.org to filter the log before feeding to qmailanalog's matchup.

Ken Jones writes: > > Does anyone have a patch to qmailanalog to read > the new multilog time format? There's two (2) patches to create a program which accepts multilog time format (tai64n) and rewrites it into fractional seconds (taifrac) format.

Many subscribers have been reporting duplicate messages in the last few days from a couple of qmail servers I manage that send out a daily newsletter with a few hundred thousand subscribers. Yet the logs only show one message delivered to any of those people. But usually several deferrals. I figure my timeoutremote was set too low (60), so that it got delivered even though qmail-remote thought it timed out. So I now put it up to 600. Does that make sense, or could there be other reasons for duplicates that don't show in the logs? The servers are generally rather busy, with 2-500 remote processes and a system load of 4-6, and I think the ISP was having some bandwidth problems in the last few days. - Flemming
Hi All, Here is something I would like to know how to do: I have qmail 1.03, qmail-admin, vpopmail, and tcpserver installed in my system. I want to use a "group" email address so that when someone in my office sends a mail to say "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", all the techs receive this message, but not any other groups (my groups I would imagine would be techguys, management, sports, etc)...can this be done with qmail? -Bill

Stick a whole bunch of e-mail addresses, one per line, in ~alias/.qmail-techguys. man dot-qmail for more. Chris

Thanks for partially answering my question :) This works for linux, and others have reported a similar mechanism for FreeBSD, however it doesn't work for Solaris, and I'd be pretty sure it won't work for HP/UX, OSF (or whatever Compaq are calling Digital Unix these days) and any other commercial Unix.

Using qmail 1.03 qmail-pop3d Every time someone checks their mail via pop3 I get a message like this in my syslog: May 2 23:33:33 masina inetd[484]: pid 840: exit status 1 I can see that process 840 was: qmail-popup youwasahero.com /bin/checkpassword /var/local/qmail What does this mean? POP3 works as I would expect it to. If exit status 1 means success, I don't know why it would be in syslog.

I assume you mean "even if the envelope is changed." The example in your initial post was: > I would like to send :- > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] to server [x.y.z] > [EMAIL PROTECTED] to server [p.q.r] > > ..... > > and finally any aliases that do not > match are forwarded onto another server [d.e.f] You might try this: # echo '&[EMAIL PROTECTED]' > ~alias/.qmail-bill # echo '&[EMAIL PROTECTED]' > ~alias/.qmail-ted # echo '| forward "$DEFAULT"@example3.dom' > ~alias/.qmail-default This assumes that blah.com is a local domain. You'll need to make the appropriate adjustments if it's virtual (maybe use .qmail-blah-bill, .qmail-blah-ted, and .qmail-blah-default). This does use forwarding and the envelope recipient will change, but who cares? Chris
Hi, I'm totally stuck trying to get qmail working the way I want it to, and the more I try to change configurations the more I get mixed up. The idea is that I have user.domain.co.uk as the virtual domain, so that [EMAIL PROTECTED] is sent to a local mailbox. What I've done so far is: made an MX record pointing to the domain.co.uk machine in qmail/control/virtualdomain entered user.domain.co.uk:username put user.domain.co.uk into rcpthosts and sent a HUP to both named and qmail-send Now reading the FAQ's and howto's etc I was led to believe that this would basically take the following steps: 1) mail arrives at domain.co.uk mail server 2) mail server has domain in its rcpthosts, good 3) is the domain in locals? no.. 4) is the domain a virtualdomain? yes... deliver to <username> And then username goes and checks his mail and there's the message. At the moment I'm getting a: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.1.1) Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong pleeeeease? I hope its not something stupid I've forgot, apologies if it is. TIA, Andy.

(#5.1.1) There needs to be a .qmail-default file in ~username with delivery instructions. If you want the default delivery instruction (which is probably to deliver mail to ./Mailbox or ./Maildir/), just create an empty .qmail-default file. Chris

Soooo close, I thought with the <username> in the virtualdomain bit would just send it locally to <username>. Thanks, I did just make an empty one and it works perfectly. Wow thats a relief :-) Later, Andy.
How do I use the web interface for accessing my real domain's user accounts? Virtual domains have no problems accessing mail, but this is so cool I want to do it for my real accounts too. Do I create a virtual domain, and add links to the home dir's of each real unix account? I tried to find it my self, and failed. Just point me to the right doc. The environment: dns, qmail, checkpassword, deamontolls, vpopmail, sqwebmail, ezmlm, autorespond, qmailadmin using maildir, qmail-pop3d, qmail-smtpd Thank you.

Just point me to the right doc. The easiest seems to be to make all domains virtual. I.e. set up a virtual domain in qmailadmin with the same name as your "real" domain, and add the existing users to it, again in qmailadmin. And move their Maildirs to /home/vpopmail/domains/yourrealdomain.com/.... And compile your vpopmail with the --enable-default-domain=yourrealdomain.com option, so that everything should work the same as before for those users. - Flemming
Moin! I've heard that there is a feature or was a patch to log every message to a specific mailbox with a .qmail-msglog alias. I however couldn't find anything about this on the qmail homepage, the only thing I found on a web was a description of patch for qmail 1.01 (unfortunatley not the patch itself). Can some kind soul give me an pointer to this feature for qmail 1.03.

When I create a .qmail-mailinglist in ~/alias with 1 @home and one hotmail address, the mail send to mailinglist get's delivered to both boxes. When I put the addresses in my .qmail in the emailing account, I only get the @home message and the one delivered to the emailingbox. The .qmail file in emailing [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] ./Maildir/ The maillog does report a successful delivery. No filters used in the hotmail account. Anyone knows why this happens ?

First give the two servers different locals. > On our mail server we have a virtual domain under a user. If you use a virtual domain anyway you can put the 4 user addresses into virtualdomains too. I didn't test if this takes precedence over the domain, but you may try it. Else there is still the qmail-users mechanism. Regards, Frank

I think you compare orange with onion you should compare qmail-pop3d with qpopper I think. because vpopmail is NOT a pop3 daemon.

Without additional software like courier-IMAP for IMAP service, or qmail-pop3d for POP3 daemon, or sqwebmail for webmail, how can users fetch their mail from server ? Thats means, as qpopper is the POP 3 daemon, you have to compare it with another POP 3 daemon too, like cuci-pop, qmail-pop3d, solid-pop, etc.
