Rest of the system including sshd, apache and dovecot is already "dualhomed", so I know that kernel and other stuff is pretty fine. Any ideas? regards Florian </pre> Florian Leeber 2012-05-21T20:46:07 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.mail.qmail.general/57373 <pre>Hi, ezmlm.org has disappeared. (upps. what is happening with qmail.org ?) I'm willing to set up a new domain 'ezmlm.net' (running on my server -- with ezmlm of course) hosting the domain and to support it to some extend. Does anyone have the current content and the list of subscribers ? Feel free to contact me. regards. --eh. </pre> Erwin Hoffmann 2012-05-21T19:11:39 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.mail.qmail.general/57372 <pre>I've found this patch while searching for something that would help to control outgoing messages on a per domain basis. Mainly I need it for recipients with domains of yahoo and hotmail etc., the top major account providers. the patch is found here: http://www.thesmbexchange.com/eng/netqmail-1.06-channels.patch I've loaded the patch and it appears to work. It creates multiple instances of the qmail-rspawn based on a a few simple control files. The question I have is regarding the concurrency limit. The documentation describes concurrency briefly, but what I don't know is how it applies to qmail-rspawn. If I run multiple instances of qmail-rspawn, is the concurrency limit applied to "each" instance, or is it accumulative? In other words, I have my qmail server set up with the standard build netqmail-1.06, with the patch above, and have a default concurrency limit set to 250. The patch provides config files to isolate domains, so I set up 5 config "channels", each one limits the amount of traffic to 100 connections (a sudo concurrency limit of 100) and spinning off 5 instance of qmail-rspawn. So if the default concurrency limit is set to 250, and I have 5 instances of qmail-rspawn each that can handle 100 connection each, will the concurrency limit become breached and crash qmail? Or is "each" instance of qmail-rspawn limited to 250?

Suddenly, the users begin to receive an error like "451 mail server temporarily rejected message" when they try to send from webmail or desktop mail client. The qmail-smtpd sockets remain open, and the only workaround is to restart the service. We haven´t found evidence of spam attack, but the issue is occurring now every day. We really appreciate your help, because is hitting our production system.

Goal is to further lockdown outgoing spam so that obvious junk such as "&lt; at &gt;some-bank.com", "&lt; at &gt;paypal.com", etc. is junked (or better saved so an admin can track which valid user it came from). Also, what is the prefer patch and/or wrapper to monitor the number of mails each user is sending? Thanks. </pre> ahlist 2012-04-26T01:13:16 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.mail.qmail.general/57363 <pre>i did a quick search on google for the subject and came up with several different scenerios for sending mail from multiple ip's on a single server. does anyone have what they consider the simplest solution? i'm running netqmail-1.06 and installed via lifewithqmail. thx, k </pre> kirk 2012-04-24T22:12:23 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.mail.qmail.general/57359 <pre>Hi all. I run 2 qmail servers here that are load balanced and deliver mail to an exchange server in my network. What I would like to do is be able to run a report on both qmail servers and have those reports emailed to me giving me statistics on the qmail processes (total messages processed for the day both inbound and bound, etc). Is there a script or something that will do this very thing for me?

DFC </pre> Datesfat Chicks 2012-04-10T23:29:03 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.mail.qmail.general/57351 <pre> hi all I have a Linux system I can boot with kernel 2.6.36.3 or 3.2.5 (the same filesystem is mounted). The .config file from 2.6.36.3 was used for compiling 3.2.5. The filesystem is a md raid1 with reiserfs. I can write sequentially with 32-33MB/s from both kernels to it. The system runs netqmail-1.05 and just had ca. 8000 mails in the queue that were "not yet preprocessed". I tried both kernels several times on this queue for some time and found out that preprocessing is more than 3 times faster on 2.6.36.3 (&gt;30 mails/s) as with the default 3.2.5 kernel (ca. 10 mails/s). Resource utilization as seen with top was not critical with both kernels but the Blk_wrtn/s value from iostat was ca. 3 time higher with 2.6.36.3. I run the same 3.2.5 kernel on 17 other systems and did not notice a performance slowdown with other applications. Is there a possibility that this slowdown is qmail related ? Does anyone have a clue ?

I just tried to migrate from a few years-old FreeBSD 7.2 to a new 8.2 server and I have all the following working just like on the old one: qmail, tcpserver, vpopmail, qmailadmin, dovecot (IMAP only) qmail-pop3d, squirrelmail. POP3 and IMAP auth fine against system passwords as well as vpopmail accounts. However, SMTP auth does not. Here's the embarrassing part-I cannot remember which patch(s) I used to get smtp auth working in the first place. In an effort to get things up to date, I leaned heavily on FreeBSD ports this time, which is supposed to have an SMTP-auth patch with qmail. I simply selected "SMTP_AUTH_PATCH" and did a make install. However, vhckpw is failing to authenticate SMTP. System users fail as follows: vchkpw-submission: system password fail user:ip vpopmail servers fail as follows: vchkpw-submission: system user not found user:ip I invoke tcpserver as follows (no SSL in this case): /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -c 45 -l 0 -R -H -x/etc/tcp.smtp-auth.cdb -u 82 -g 81 0 587 \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd server.name /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw true &amp; -------- # strings /etc/tcp.smtp-auth.cdb +RBLSMTPD= +QMAILQUEUE=/var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue If somebody familiar with the FreeBSD patches for qmail smtp auth set me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it! </pre> up< at >3.am 2012-04-02T04:49:36 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.mail.qmail.general/57344 <pre>Hey all, After many years of satisfied qmail usage and administration, I've come to the realization that I've made entirely too many .qmail files for my own good. Any time I sign up for a service or join a list, I'll make a new .qmail file and happily go about my way. Over time my home directory has grown to now be about 85.9% .qmail files, which makes doing an "ls -la" interesting. I'd like to simplify this, so I've looked into a few of the mechanisms available like the dot-forward package and the qmail-users feature. I've looked into using fastforward, since I've used it in the past on other systems, but it manages associations for forwarding, not for deliveries. I could patch it, but I'd rather avoid doing that if it turns out I'm simply overlooking a better way consolidate all my aliases and forwards. Ideally I'd end up with a single ~/aliases.cdb file or a ~/.qmail/ directory, however if I edit the homedir field of a /var/qmail/users/assign file, I suspect the default behavior will be to look there for my Maildirs and break the './Maildir/' syntax I've used successfully thus far. What experiences have folks had in organizing their own .qmail files? What would the best solution look like for a case like this?

I use qmail (actually the latest netqmail) here as a mail router for a couple of domains I do email for -- each on two separate mail servers, but that's another store all together. I am consistently having NDR type spam in my queue to bupkus email addresses and would like to stop incoming spam at the qmail level using spamdyke. I have the spamdyke binary built and installed, however, I am not able to get it set up right with the instructions in the INSTALL.TXT file. Does anyone else have this working successfully and if so, would they be willing to share their run file with me and/or the rest of the group? Much help would be greatly appreciated. ~~ Robert ~~ </pre> Robert Wolfe 2012-02-28T22:42:19 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.mail.qmail.general/57337 <pre>Hi, if anybody is interested: My greetdelay patch (0.5) for rblsmtpd (as part of ucspi-tcp) includes now a IPv4 CIDR address parser. This is a very minor patch; and does not touch tcpserver. It is easy to use: Simply declare 10./8:allow. The length of the network prefix may of course depend on your needs. This patched version works for Linux and FreeBSD/AMD64. regards. --eh. </pre> Erwin Hoffmann 2012-02-28T21:37:45 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.mail.qmail.general/57336 <pre>I have a client in Los Angeles area (Chatsworth) who has a qmail/samba file server that I maintain remotely. The client is associated with one of my UK clients. The server is a very simple one only accepting smtp connections from two mail hubs and the UK companies office and passing all outgoing mail through one of the hubs. Virus and spam filtering is handled at the hubs. The server hardly ever comes under load, particularly since we limited the smtp connections it accepts ... in other words no spambots etc. Its current uptime details are: I am looking for someone in the area to take over looking after the server from me. Their current IT support are totally MS orientated, I had considered giving them a login but when we needed to re-install about a year ago I had to handle it remotely as they were not confident enough to even run a base Debian install, I decided it was unwise. It generally runs very smoothly with little interference from me, I spend no more than a few hours a month attending to it. Although my other server tend to follow John Simpson this is a simple LWQ install without too many patches. basically only the essentials plus Shupp's auth patch. If anyone is interested please contact me. </pre> John Puttergill 2012-02-16T07:49:06 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.mail.qmail.general/57317 <pre>I'm seeing the following problem in the log files (minor changes to protect the innocent and guilty): info msg 1966555: bytes 468716 from &lt;Food&amp;Bev&lt; at &gt;remote.com&gt; qp 27994 uid 220 info msg 1968033: bytes 223 from &lt;food\&lt; at &gt;local.emailserver.com&gt; qp 28003 uid 730 delivery 934057: deferral: sh:_bev&lt; at &gt;remote.com:_command_not_found/Aack,_child_crashed._(#4.3.0)/ So, qmail is separating the message delivery into being from "food" at the host/domain name of the local qmail server, AND from "bev" at the actual sender's host/domain name. It is, essentially, splitting the sender address at the ampersand "&amp;" and trying to send to the resulting two addresses. Is there a fix for this so qmail can handle it like any other email?

We use qmail-ldap (qmailrocks installation) for our mail server for some time. To give people access to qmail-smtpd, we used to configure /var/qmail/control/qmail-smtpd.rules. Usually we use this configuration: 127.:allow,RELAYCLIENT="",SMTPAUTH="",AUTHREQUIRED="",QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/simscan" 192.168.:allow,RELAYCLIENT="",SMTPAUTH="",AUTHREQUIRED="",QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/simscan" :allow,QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/simscan",RETURNMXCHECK="" Now we want to let roaming users to be able to use qmail-smtpd from anywhere outside from local LAN, so we change qmail-smtpd.rules into 127.:allow,RELAYCLIENT="",SMTPAUTH="",AUTHREQUIRED="",QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/simscan" 192.168.:allow,RELAYCLIENT="",SMTPAUTH="",AUTHREQUIRED="",QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/simscan" *:allow,RELAYCLIENT="",SMTPAUTH="",QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/simscan"* :allow,QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/simscan",RETURNMXCHECK="" It is works (we can send to or receive email from gmail), with exception that we can send without authentication either. If we added AUTHREQUIRED="" in the third line, gmail cannot send email to our server. If we switched the third and fourth line (:allow,RELAYCLIENT line and :allow,QMAILQUEUE line), then qmail will never read (or act) the last line. Is there something we're missing here*? OR should we cooperate SMTPAUTH with PBS (we have 127.0.0.1:allow,NOPBS="" # default allow :allow in /var/qmail/control/qmail-pop3d.rules. * thinking about using SENDERCHECK too, but we still need authentication.
