Re: [gentoo-user] installing big qmail server ... where to start?
thanks for your info guys, that was indeed helpful! One more question: should I use a meta-package like vpopmail, or would a plain qmail+mysql (maybe with a custom admin webinterface) be enough? -- quoting A.

If you plan on running spamassassin I would recommend offloading that to one or more dedicated boxes running the daemonized spamassassin. We have two qmail servers here (third one is almost ready) plus we have three other boxes dedicated to spamd and clamd. (We're using round-robin DNS of a local zone to distribute spam+virus filtering to the filtering boxes. This is for 3000-4000 mailboxes ;-) I use Mysql on my current system with Postfix. I assume qmail can play nicely with Mysql as well. We are running tcpserver patched with a MySQL patch. We're using vpopmail with MySQL. (Pretty much everything is running with MySQL, even spamd preferences and squirrelmail preferences/address books. I am running into some Mysql connection problems because each Postfix process has it's own Mysql connection. IIRC you can configure Mysql:proxy in Postfix and Courier to multiplex queries over a single connection... something I'm planning on doing later this month. We have separate read and write MySQL servers plus replication to a third box. -- -- Son, when you participate in sporting events, it's not whether you win or lose: it's how drunk you get. -- Homer Simpson Bart Gets An Elephant -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] installing big qmail server ... where to start?
Hi all, I have to plan and setup a mail solution for about 50.000 users, here are some key features requested by our customer: - self coded webfrontend w/ webmail and administration (filter, alias etc) - 100MB quota per user - autoresponder - about 50.000 user - online backup of data - some more featuers for web frontend Since I happily use qmail for some other (but smaller) installations, I want to try it with qmail here for this project as well. My only problem is, I have no clue where to start ... beginning from should I use 2 redundant and really strong or some more but cheaper servers? to which qmail distributions and patches should I use (ldap, mysql, ...)? and how to store data (mails) and do online backup w/o downtime?. I know you can't give me _the_ solution for this issue, but I am thankful for any hints and internet links on this topic. I am sure you guys can help me :) Greetings and TIA, Matthias -- Homer: The secret ingredient is -- Moe: Homer, no! Homer: Cough syrup!

[gentoo-user] OT: problem with perl under chroot
Hi all, I use a chroot'ed Apache installation under /var, including perl installed under /var/... as well. I can run perl scripts (say: cgi scrpits) just fine, except one error: I can't fetch sites from within a perl script with method get. This is a little test script: #!/usr/bin/perl print content-type: text/html\n\n; use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser); use LWP::Simple; print get http://download.weblication.de/test.php;; exit; which works fine under console, I can see the output Test from the weblication site. But when I try to run this cgi under a cgi-bin directory, I can't see anything. Apache's logfiles do not say anything either. (I know this cgi-bin dir works for CGIs, because I can run other CGIs there just fine) Any ideas, why this get command does not work in perl under chroot? Greetings and TIA, Matthias -- Jeez.
