Hi, I have one account that has 248,881 messages in it's maildir/new directory, and receives many messages every day. Don't ask me what the account is for because IMHO it's useless, but I will say that nobody reads it with an email client. The OS is Solaris 8, platform is Sun Netra T105 (sparc), filesystem is UFS. I'm using Qmail-LDAP, which shouldn't really perform any differently in this respect than the stock Qmail, and there are no problems constantly delivering messages to this account. The thing you need to keep an eye on is your available inodes. I have a 36GB SCSI external disk mounted to /var/qmail/maildirs and this is how it looks now. By the looks of things below, I'll run out of disk space long before I run out of inodes. $ df -i Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on /dev/dsk/c0t15d0s5 4266304 728388 3537916 17% /var/qmail/maildirs $ df -k Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/dsk/c0t15d0s5 35292880 14155186 20784766 41% /var/qmail/maildirs Regards, Mike
Okay, yesterday I erroneously reported that I had maildrop and vmailmgr running together, when it was really maildrop and *vpopmail*. Well, this morning I converted our mail domain from vpopmail to vmailmgr and copied my maildrop config over, changing a few paths. Works like a charm. So my previous, unsubstantiated report that maildrop works just fine with vmailmgr is now substantiated. I'd highly recommend using it instead of procmail, as it's far more intuitive and easy to configure (IMO). Sorry for the noise; followups set. /pg -- Peter Green : Architekton Internet Services, LLC : [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- Instead of a trap door, what about a trap window?

Not even close... That is not at all the problem. The problem is that the filenames it create aren't guaranteed unique, but even worse, it doesn't even try to prevent overwriting an equally-named file, which is the worst problem. Greetz, Peter.

That's the whole point -- djb's Maildir naming convention is designed to prevent namespace collisions, regardless of how many machines are delivering into the same Maildir simultaneously, or how many processes, or anything. If every program follows his rules, it all works. procmail, for some reason, uses a totally different naming convention. There's no good reason for it, and it could result in a namespace collision. As soon as you get a collision, you've lost mail. Why take chances?

do you have the list's subscribers in mysql/pgsql storage, and have you hand-modified adresses in it? this sounds rather like an ezmlm-idx quirk you might catch with sql based subscription lists. look for adresses with more or less than 1 '@', adresses missing the lefthand or righthand side, etc... /k Kris von Mach([EMAIL PROTECTED])@2001.05.07 19:46:59 +0000: > > >No. databytes applies only to incoming SMTP mail. > > That is what I thought too. > > >You should look in the logs.

I finally got it working. Maybe it would have been easier to use maildrop (as Peter Green reported that he got it working with vmailmgr), but I really don't care, as long as I've got a working server-side filtering system. Please feel free to comment. Could I have avoided creating /var/spool/mail/[VMAILDOMAIN_USER] file somehow? QMAIL+VMAILMGR+PROCMAIL+SAFECAT MINI-HOWTO ------------------------------------------ - Connect to your mail server as root with ssh. - First check that you have all the programs installed. - I use the following expressions in this document: [VMAILDOMAIN_USER] = the user's name in who's home directory the virtual domain is installed [VUSER] = the name of the virtual mail user For example in my mail server configuration these would be: [VMAILDOMAIN_USER] = vdomain1 [VUSER] = peter:peltonen - I found out that if file /var/spool/mail/[VMAILDOMAIN_USER] didn't exist, procmail wouldn't work. So check that it exists. If it doesn't, create it and give it proper ownership: root# touch /var/spool/mail/[VMAILDOMAIN_USER] root# chown [VMAILDOMAIN_USER]:mail /var/spool/mail/[VMAILDOMAIN_USER] First time procmail is used it gives the file proper permissions. - Create the user's .procmailrc: root# su - [VMAILDOMAIN_USER] -c "touch /home/[VMAILDOMAIN_USER]/users/[VUSER]/.procmailrc" - Make the filtering rules to that file. You can see my example .procmailrc at the end of this document. Great advice can be also found at: http://www.ii.com/internet/robots/procmail/qs/#recipes - Enable procmail-filtering by editing /home/[VMAILDOMAIN_USER]/.qmail-[VUSER] file and replacing the line --snip-- |/usr/bin/vdeliver --snip-- to --snip-- | preline /usr/bin/procmail /home/kotelo/users/peter/.procmailrc --snip-- NOTE: If you don't have a /home/[VMAILDOMAIN_USER]/.qmail-[VUSER] file, create it and put the procmail line in it. - That's it! MY EXAMPLE .PROCMAILRC ---------------------- --snip-- # # tell procmail where to find my maildir # MAILDIR="/home/vdomain1/users/peter:peltonen" # # the filtering rules # # to courier-list :0 * ^[EMAIL PROTECTED] { :0 | /usr/bin/maildir $MAILDIR/.courier-list } # put the rest of my mail to my Inbox :0 { :0 | /usr/bin/maildir $MAILDIR/ } --snip-- Regards, Peter

Well, not be sorry, I'm learning... I have to modify the patch for other reason also (new qpasswd struct, checking of bounce mail flag), so I'll change this error to 550 too. I would like also to use this patch to reject senders using some recipient's filter files. Is there any suggestion about a filtering scheme? Is there a standard already?

Just for your information. This list has been spammed by users several times in the past few days. One common characteristics of the spamming emails is that they were all written in Chinese and their advertisements point to various commercial web sites seemed to be written in Chinese ( I never clicked on those sites though I understand Chinese very well ). ----- Original Message ----- From: "Russ Allbery" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, May 09, 2001 6:31 AM Subject: Re: §K¶OÀ°§A¥IADSL¤Î56K > audit <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > > Am I the only one that this is bugging?

Hi all, we need to complete forwarding. I have read the LWQ and they mention .qmail files? Our environment is qmail + vpopmail. Would fastforward or dot.forward be the best options? Best regards, Richard.
Hi All, I am trying to implement forwarding utilising fastforward, it does work however I cannot seem to have it forward to local users on the same box. my aliases file is as follows [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] it forwards to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] but not to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] ? Even if I change it as follows it still don't work, [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [EMAIL PROTECTED], user Richard.

man dot-qmail indicates & is used for forwarding messages, and format is straight-forward. Is it permissable to forward a message to a device -- i.e., &/dev/null? Or is bit-bucketing of email something exclusively belonging to procmail? Thank you. ag

Im currently using Qmail + vpopmail and im trying to get my procmail filters working. Right now, it appears procmail is somewhat functional. If an e-mail matches my filter, the email is still sent to my Maildir, but _all_ i get from the message is: Return-Path: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Here is my setup.. /var/qmail/rc : #!/bin/sh exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" \ qmail-start '|dot-forward .forward |preline procmail ./Maildir/' splogger qmail /home/vpopmail/domains/my-domain.com/.qmail-default : |preline /usr/bin/procmail -m /home/vpopmail/domains/my-domain.com/.procmail.rc | /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox Any and All suggestions are very much appreciated, Spookah Network Technician Linux Administrator _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com
I've seen that... For those that like Outlook, I recommend an ugly thing: create 2 profiles for the same account :-/ The fist profile just receive (SMTP server: NOSERVER.NODOMAIN), and the second - the default profile - just sends (POP3 server: NOSERVER.NODOMAIN)... I would appreciate if someone has a better solution. Wagner. > I host a lot of virtual domains but the Outlook cannot send after > receive.

Hi all, how does one add multiple recipients to a user in /etc/aliases for forwarding? (format)? richard: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?? Many thanks, Richard.

Dear sir, I am facing a very starange problem, I am using qmail 1.03 on red hat 6.2 and giving mailing solution to 18 different customers, whose Mx pointing is my server. My all the domains are listed in virtualdomains file with some prepend, Like ttk-lig.com is one of the entry and i m using prepend ttk for this. and for maricoinidia.net its mil. So my virtualdomains file for ttk-lig.com is ttk-lig.com:ttk maricoinidia.net:mil And till yesterday every thing was working fine. But suddenly mail server started giving problem for ttk-lig.com only. Mails for other domain is workig fine. For ttk-lig.com i m having pop accounts as well as i m doing just forwarding also to their destination server for some users. I am doing forwarding by making a default alias .qmail-ttk-default. and entry in this file is like this... |forward $[EMAIL PROTECTED] and in smtproutes i m having below entry for ttklig_ch_notes.ttk-lig.com ttklig_ch_notes.ttk-lig.com:[192.168.100.1] Now when ever i m sendng a mail to any ttk guy whose mailbox is at remote server ( just forwarding should do ) , then mail is getting bounced back by saying that no mailbox available. And mail is bouncing from my own server..while if i m sending a mail to that user whose mailbox is at my server then mail is going. I feel its not reading the alias file... But when i changed the prepend ttk to ttklig and i made a default alias .qmail-ttklig-default and gave the below entry in it |forward $[EMAIL PROTECTED] ( and smtproutes file is also having the required entry. ) mails started going....now its reading the alias file by just changing the prepend word... both .qmail-ttk-default and .qmail-ttklig-default file has same permition\ 4 -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 46 May 7 17:29 .qmail-ttk-default 4 -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 46 May 7 19:47 .qmail-ttklig-default Could you pl help me , why it happens,, why its not taking prepend word ttk. Why its blocking word ttk, Is there any command so that i can make it workable with ttk prepend only.. Is there any bug in qmail. My qmail version is qmail-1.03-8 Pl help me for this Regards Lokesh
Hi all, I'm using qmail 1.03 with qmail-etrn-0.1f patch. I am able to issue ETRN command to port 25 and get "250 ok" response from the server. However, the server doesn't tranfer the emails to me even when there are mails in the Maildir. I have trace the program qmail-send and found the it can't read the content of etrntrigger properly. The portion of the code is shown below: 1515: n=read(etrn_fd, buf, sizeof buf); 1516: if(n!=sizeof buf) 1517: return; It always returns without transfering mails to the client. By the way, the file size of etrntrigger is correct, i.e. 264 bytes. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks. -- regards, Kok Jeng, Loh

Hi There, I just installed "SMTP Relaying Control by Bruce Guenter Version 2.5". I installed from the gzipped format. Everything went fine and there were no errors reported. I have inserted the required line in the file /service/qmail-pop3d/run. I am very sure nothing is wrong with this. The only thing left is the cron entry which i have not done yet. I don't think that should matter at this moment right.?? I am still unable to do selective relay and i still get the same old message as below. >The message could not be sent because one of the recipients was >rejected >by the server. The rejected e-mail address >was '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'. >Subject 'sad', Account: 'myserver.com', >Server: myserver.com', Protocol: >SMTP, Server Response: '553 sorry, >that domain isn't in my list of allowed >rcpthosts (#5.7.1)', Port: 25, >Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 553, Error >Number: 0x800CCC79 Another problem is that, it takes a whole load of a time before i can connect to the POP or SMTP server. I am using tcpserver. I added the following switches in my run file: "-H -R". Initially, i noticed some improvement in the speed of connection. But i tried again after sometime and i realized that it went back to its usual ways. Please help..

Anyway, post your run script and a strace, if possible, to see what the problem could be. Maybe relayctrl can't write in the right dir, can't read your conf files, can't run tcprules... > Another problem is that, it takes a whole load of a time before i can > connect to the POP or SMTP server.

Hi there, we're experiencing VERY strange problems with our QMail installation. I've set up QMail as stated in the "Life with QMail" document and everything works fine. The POP3 server is started over inetd, because its a very low traffic server: pop3 stream tcp nowait root /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup qmail-popup my-server.com /bin/checkpasswordnt /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir When clients connect they can retrieve all eMails. But if one of them is larger and the connection lasts longer than 60 seconds, QMail seems to suddenly reset the connection! This is a reproducable behaviour. Outlook Express gives me following error message: "Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity." - it's the same with different internet providers - it's the same thing when using Outlook Express and Netscape Messenger as mail clients - the problem is the same when using tcpserver - the problem is not the type or the size of the mail, only connection time - these mail clients retrieve big mails from other (public) mail servers without any problems! These are the last lines of a connection trace with tcpdump: 10:24:11.970250 server.pop3 > client.1045: . 230481:231017(536) ack 0 win 32696 (DF) 10:24:11.970271 server.pop3 > client.1045: P 231017:231553(536) ack 0 win 32696 (DF) 10:24:12.111078 client.1045 > server.pop3: . 0:0(0) ack 230481 win 2144 (DF) 10:24:12.111138 server.pop3 > client.1045: FP 231553:232073(520) ack 0 win 32696 (DF) 10:24:12.242815 client.1045 > server.pop3: . 0:0(0) ack 231553 win 2144 (DF) 10:24:12.327520 client.1045 > server.pop3: . 0:0(0) ack 232074 win 1624 (DF) 10:24:12.334402 client.1045 > server.pop3: F 0:0(0) ack 232074 win 1624 (DF) 10:24:12.334452 server.pop3 > client.1045: . 232074:232074(0) ack 1 win 32696 (DF) As you can see the server is pushing a FIN request to the client, not otherwise! I have to bring this to work asap, otherwise the users kill me :-) Thx A LOT for your help, I really hope someone of you has the solution. Jens
Do you have any antivirus software running over your Outlook express and using 127.0.0.1 as local pop to filter messages? If yes, try to disable it and try again.

The POP3 server is started over inetd, because its a very low > traffic server: I suggest that you supervise it and see what happens. AFAIK LWQ does not reccomend that you use inetd and neither does anyone on this list. bash-2.04# cat /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-pop3d/run /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-pop3d/log/run #!/bin/sh exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 2000000 \ tcpserver -l0 -v -H -R 0 pop-3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup \ updegrove.net /var/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 2>&1 #!/bin/sh exec /usr/local/bin/setuidgid qmaill multilog t /var/log/qmail/pop3d > Outlook Express gives me following error message: "Your server has > unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include > server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity." What is the timeout set to? I set mine to 5 minutes and I use "-l0 -H -R" in my script as illustrated above. Hope that helps, Rick Up
