RE: [qmailtoaster] how to filter relay

Thanks Andreas, I am testing it this way now. Does it matter if the Mdaemon sender is already authenticated in Qmail? \Sergio -Original Message- From: Andreas Galatis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 22, 2008 7:48 PM To: qmailtoaster-list@qmailtoaster.com Subject: Re:

Re: [qmailtoaster] How to not forward messages marked as spam

If I understand simscan / simcontrol functions, you can only specify global, local domain, or specific user settings. There are many virtual domains hosted on the server, and I don't want to just specify spam dropping for any single domain - I want to be able to drop spam if any single account

Re: [qmailtoaster] How to not forward messages marked as spam

You'd need to add a simcontrol record for each user that is forwarded externally. This would need to be done manually, and could be an administrative nightmare at an ISP level. I suppose you could modify qmailadmin to handle it automatically though. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: If I understand

Re: [qmailtoaster] Load balancing

LVS seemed to work very well for me. Pretty straight forward setup once you get the idea. Or you could set up a shared environment, one mysql server, one shared /home/vpopmail directory, simlinked users and control from the qmail directory. Then use LVS (or other software based LB) as your

Spamdyke is installed and has been for about a week It has seemed to help but my loads are still staying around 3.5-4.5 The largest problem that I have right now is that users are getting duplicate emails and I can't figure out how to stop it. Since I implemented the greylisting things seem to

Re: [qmailtoaster] Load balancing

The dups are understandable. I'm guessing that the smtp sessions are timing out because the load is high and subsequently scanning is taking a long time. How long are scans taking typically? Please post your spamdyke.conf file. What toaster package versions are you running? Are you seeing

RE: [qmailtoaster] Load balancing

Hi Kyle, We have the same issue with our toasters. The long and short of it is, try to keep your total mail users under about 1,000 (this usually works out to about 100-200 domains). Anything over that, and you should deploy another mail server. When a remote SMTP server connects to your Qmail

After a trial-error approach, I set mine to 400. Maybe in better hardware is too high, but's been working fine in my old server. I found out this helped when I got dups with large attachments. Sergio -Original Message- From: Kyle Quillen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, May 23,

Re: [qmailtoaster] Load balancing

Thanks for sharing your pointers, Dairenn. The only thing I'd like to add is regarding SA's autoexpire. That can take a good bit of time and really doesn't need to be done during an smtp session (which is what happens when it's turned on). I would turn that off and set up a cron job to run bayes

That's a good question, Sergio. It's possible that one or more of these is part of Kyle's problem. .) Put the heavy hitters first (such as spamhaus). With spamhaus first, you might not get many hits with some of the others, making them pretty much useless. .) dsbl.org is no longer active FWIW, I

Well all, After doing everything in here except the firewall rules and with the reordering of the RBL's server loads are 1.14, 1.37, 1.46. They seem to be staying that way consistently only time will tell though. If things kick up a little I will drop the Firewall rules in. I want to say

RE: [qmailtoaster] Load balancing

Hi Kyle, It's probably going to take a while for Qmail to hammer through its queue, and deal with everything that simscan still has to handle. You probably wont notice a difference for a few hours, or even tomorrow. regards, Dairenn Lombard Linux Engineer, Systems Administration Department
