Hello, I have a linux server with qmail, I have installed the
vpopmail package ( version 3.4.9) and
I have find the following problem:
-Imagine I configure the quota for a pop user to 10Mbytes (10240000
bytes) in the vpasswd file, and the size of the Maildir directory for
this user is 1Mbyte .
-I send a mail to this user with a size of 30Mbytes.
- Vdelivermail will enter the user Maildir and add up the sizes of
all the files in this directory,
but the total size in this moment is 1Mbytes so the message will be
deliver because the Maildir size
is smaller than 10Mbytes.
-Now, the size of the Maildir directory for that user is 31Mbytes,
but his quota is 10Mbytes!!!
.....imagine if I send a mail of 1Gbyte instead one of 30Mbytes......
The problem is that vdelivermail compares:
the size of the Maildir directory < HARD_QUOTA limit
instead of:
the size of the Maildir directory + the size of the message to
deliver < HARD_QUOTA limit
Has anybody this problem?? How It can be fixed??

Greetings,
Marcin Jaskowiak
> Has anybody this problem?? How It can be fixed??
I don't think the quota mechanism is a solution for this.
I would recommend to establish a policy that
a) allows any user to receive any big mail
b) ensures that the POP-storage doesn't fill up over time
All users must have accepted this policy.
Write a script that does the following:
1. Check if the user is over your limit, if not quit.
2. Delete all mail that is over a specified time limit.
3. If the user is still over his (space) limit, delete
mail beginning at the oldest going to newest until
enough space is freed.
Ensure not to delete mail that is newer than a specified
time (f.e. two or three days).
4. Generate a mail that tells the user which mail was deleted
(Sender, Receiver, Return-Path, Delivered-To:, Message-Id,
Date, Subject, ...)
Share the script with us.
Regards, Frank

Hi there,
perhaps i would understand what users/assign is used for if the
docu would exist in german.
Could someone explain it to me what to do with users/assign ?
My system with many vdomains works very well without that file !
Thanks a lot !!

Basic statistics
qtime is the time spent by a message in the queue.
ddelay is the latency for a successful delivery to one recipient---the
end of successful delivery, minus the time when the message was queued.
xdelay is the latency for a delivery attempt---the time when the attempt
finished, minus the time when it started. The average concurrency is the
total xdelay for all deliveries divided by the time span; this is a good
measure of how busy the mailer is.

>From our discussions earlier this month, it looked like your systems
were simply doing what they could. qmail can only run 120 deliveries
if there's sufficient CPU and I/O and network bandwidth. And, of
course, it's got to have sufficient pending deliveries to non-tcpto'd
hosts.
Things to look for:
high "so", "cs", in vmstat
low "id" in vmstat
high load average
high "bi"/"bo" in vmstat
insufficient network bandwidth
lots of deliveries to tcpto'd hosts
poor nameserver latency
What constitutes "high", "low", "insufficient", "lots", etc. isn't
carved in stone. I suggest you find a group of experts for your OS
(Linux, if I remember correctly) and work with them. This really isn't
a qmail-specific problem.

I have done the following:
$ /var/qmail/bin/maildirmake $HOME/Maildir
$ echo ./Maildir/ > ~/.qmail
as the user who is the owner of the maildir. Then from the command line
entered the following to start the pop3d
tcpserver -v -R 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup mail.mydomain.com \
/bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d maildir 2>&1 | \
/var/qmail/bin/splogger pop3d &
After all the above was done I tried connecting via a pop client and I get
the message:
The server could not be found (Account: 'mail.mydomain.com', Error number
0x800ccc0d.
By the way I am using Outlook 98 as my mail client. I realise this is a
very newbie type question but I am very new to this. Any help would be
greatly appreciated.

Linux is like a Vorlon. It is incredibly powerful,
gives terse, cryptic answers and has a lot of things
going on in the background.
I tried changing this but no to no joy. Outlook still says server could
not be found. I dropped to DOS and then tried to ping the server and
there was no problem.

"man diff" and "man patch", if available, should help, but basically
diff just compares two files and displays the differences by line
number. Since you've applied one patch already, your line numbers
don't match those in the second patch. Given the "context" (unchanged
lines surrounding a change), patch can usually figure out where to
make the change. If it can't, it creates a .rej file containing the
unapplied patches, which you can manually apply.

For example, in qmail-smtpd.c, in the vicinity of line 96, locate the
declaration of mapbmf and add the lines declaring tarpitcount and
tarpitdelay.

The ampersand (&) tells the shell running a command to run the command
in the background. To see the difference, at a shell prompt do:
sleep 10
then
sleep 10 &
inetd.conf entries should *not* be run in the background.

Well I do not use Maildir but there a patches for the UW-imapd at the
qmail-homepage. For the security:
I have done this by using stunnel, which is a SSL-wrapper for daemons.
You will need OpenSSL for this to work.
I have tcpserver listening on port 993, the standard ssl'ed imapd-port, the
command is as follows
stunnel -p /var/ssl/certs/stunnel.pem -l imapd
Using RedHat 6.0 and pam_open_smtp I allow relaying to those hosts having
connected through this procedure as well.
Internally I have set up another, non-secured imapd, as the mailserver is an
old Pentium-75 with only 64MB of RAM. This one will only allow connections
from internal-networks with tcpserver:
mirko@picard:[mirko]> o /etc/tcprules.d/imapd
127.0.0.1:allow
192.168.0.:allow
:deny
You may use the same approach with ipop3d as well.

Mirko

Have you investigated this message? "Input/output error" usually means
there's a hardware problem such as an unreadble block on the
disk. Does "wc /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb" give an error?

What does POP have to do with it? And how is it obvious it's "having a
hard time"?

I'm experiencing a strange behaviour of qmail. I installed it on freebsd 3.1
server; it gets mail from smtp just when the machine reboots, if a mail is
sent to an account of the server and the server is already running it
doesn't get in; it is received just at the next reboot. Pop3 delivery works
averytime, anyway. I tried to configure qmail smtp both as under tcpserver
then in Inetd and the result is the same. Any idea about this? how can I
solve this problem? (other then rebooting every 10 minutes)
Please, since I'm not subscriber to this list; email me directly to this
adress too.
thank you,

If it doesn't look like the above, change to the qmail source directory
and run "make setup check" (or manually correct the permissions/ownership).

Sounds like qmail-send dies shortly after booting, which is a classic
symptom of not running it under csh, nohup, or some other mechanism to
detach it from the controlling tty. How are you running qmail-start?
Do you see all of the qmail processes running?

They will continue to receive email, as I understand it, except from
qmail sites. So they won't see an obvious symptom such as "no email
arriving".

I'm presuming that the primary and secondaries are boundary hosts that
feed into some internal pool of systems for mail handlings. This is
not uncommon at larger sites, but by no means universal either.

I'd agree that it is, in fact, misconfigured or broken. I also
believe it's a very easy mistake to make, since the mail hosts will
presumably not be down all that often.

Join the 20th century before it's too late!
All,
Having worked through various document and RPMs and
finally getting the Summersoft RPM to install with
nary a complaint, I'm trying to get things to actually
work.
I read the man pages and attempted to comprehend them
(especially the INSTALL ones) and am now going
throughthe qmail-HOWTO.
My Linux box is connected via a Pacific Bell DSL line.
It has a static IP address but not necessarily a
domain name. I have called it "lllama.pacbell.net" on
my local subnet with the various Linux configuration
files, and "config-fast" identifies it as such.
However, lllama.pacbell.net isn't in any real DNS out
there. I never intended it to be. This Linux box
doesn't act like a server to anyone out on the
Internet, and I am happy to use its IP address for
those times I access it.
So, since there's no DNS entry, ./config complained
when I tried to run it.
Anyway, mail isn't even being delivered locally on
this box. The maillog has the followign interesting
line:
failure:Sorry,_I_couldn't_find_any_host_named_lllama.pacbell.net._(#5.1.2)/
So, what is a DSL-based qmail installer to do?
I eagerly await amazing responses.
Virtually,
Warr

Dont call your machine "something.pacbell.net" : the pacbell.net
domain is not your, and you'd better use a fake domain name on your own
machine (llama.org ?) . Then, set up a little DNS on your machine
serving the llama.org domain and Qmail should be fine.
BTW, a french Linux box was lamely hacked some times ago thru a bind
vulnerability by a guy called "llama". We took a little revenge because
he was running the same out-of-box distribution and had a static IP
address. Does that guy have something to do with you ?

Hi all,
are there (feeding) servers which have groups about qmail?

I believe that this list (and the archive) is about the best place to find talk
about qmail. I checked deja and no qmail specific groups showed up. You might
find some flame wars in the sendmail groups though ;-)

Is there any interest in a London qmail training session? The final
cost would be dependent on the number of participants (in other words,
talk it up among UK people using qmail), but if I can't do it for less
than $800 per participant there's no point in doing it. So, there's
an upper bound on the price; the variable is whether it happens or not.

tcp.smtp is:
127.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
192.168.0.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
:allow
I output syslog to tty6 so the log is full of I/O errors (when I reboot).
All I get on tty6 is failed logins and cache cleanups by 'named'.
If there are any details I have left out, they are probably concerning my
network configuration. The box has two NICs, one on the NT Domain LAN
(192.168.0.2), the other on the NET. Outgoing it is used as a gateway with
masqerading and a packet firewall controls the incoming. I can waork around
the relaying problem (albeit messy), but not being able to receive mail is a
big problem. Even though everything appears to be running, qmail is simply
not listening/accepting - and therefore not telling me about it.
If this sounds too difficult to troubleshoot via a mailing list, please
suggest some simple tests or scripts that I can use to eliminate variables.
I honestly need help with this one.

Hmm. I haven't actually tried logging directly to a file, so that
conceivably might not work according to plan, but the splogger method
is tried and true. If you're not seeing anything, you need to take a
look at your syslog.conf, probably in /etc. splogger logs to facility
2, by default, which is useally (always?) "mail". Look for a
syslog.conf entry containing "mail.debug". That's where your qmail
logs should be going. If there is no such entry, add one, point it to
a file, and "kill -HUP" the syslogd process.

tcpserver doesn't log to syslog unless you use splogger. Same comments
as above.

On tty6 I see that syslog sucessfully restarted. The conf looks like this
now: (new line possibly redundant)
*.* /dev/tty6
*.=info;*.=notice /usr/adm/messages
*.=debug /usr/adm/debug
mail.debug /usr/adm/debug.mail
Both debug and debug.mail show nothing. Doh!

Try telneting to the server at port 110. This should tell you if pop3 is
listening or not.

You might consider running your pop3d server though supervise. This way, it is
stops running it will be started again. There is ample documentation on this in
Life with Qmail.

I tried telneting to the POP3 port 110
and I got the follwoing message:
+OK POP3 <2477938557797@neptune> v7.55 APOP server ready
So I assume all is ok there, I will try and run pop3d under supervise,
what puzzles me is that I get logs for what is going wrong in
/var/log/qmail/qmail-pop3d

This is not qmail!
It should look like this (with your hostname of course):
+OK <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Nothing is ok here. First desinstall the old POP3 server and then
reread LWQ step by step again.

I have disbaled this pop3 server in inetd.conf, where else would I have to
disable it? The one I disabled was installed by default by Red Hat 6.0.

Is there any way to modify the qmail server so that it forces the mail
client to disallow save mail on server?
I got an error from Netscape Mail once that read:
The POP3 mail server does not support UIDL, which Netscape Mail needs to
implement the "Leave on Server"
and "Maximum Message Size" options. To download your mail, turn off these
options in the MailServer panel of Preferences.
I disabled UIDL on qmail permanently, but I did not get this error again.
Does anyone one know how to get this behavior all the time? (get the error
message)
Thanks,
mike.

Add code to pop3d which deletes everything that hasn't been deleted yet
when pop3d receives a QUIT.
Don't do something stupid like deleting everything just before the process
terminates. Or someone who crashes in a middle of downloading the first
message in a hundred message mailbox will wind up with losing all of his
mail.
A much better solution would be a cron job that goes through everyone's
Maildir/cur and Maildir/new, and deletes all messages older than a certain
number of days.

Sam,
What he really wanted to do was to force the user to
have to check 'do not leave messages on the server' so
that they'd know it ahead of time and not be surprised when
the mail they just cleared out of their PC was the only copy.
Being privy to a lot of the support mail that comes in, I know
that is asking a lot of your normal messenger/outlook user.
I'd prefer the cron method myself. We'll see where things
end up...
Thanks,

Hi again. I almost have my setup as I would like it. I have used vpopmail to add
popaccounts for my users. I have checked the popserver and connected to it remotely.
All is well. I can use qmail as a relay if I use my equipment to dial in. The only
problem
is that when I send emails to the users I have added the mails do not arrive at their
correct destination. I have looked in /var/log/maillog and there is no error message
by the
actual email. Can anyone suggest what may be wrong or how I could trace this? CHeers,

Are these users part of the same domain, or virtual domain? Qmail bounces
mail for domains not listed in control/rcpthosts. Make sure your virtual
domains and rcpthosts files are setup correctly. Also make sure any .qmail
files and MailDir directories are owned by the correct users. Being a new
qmail admin, this was my main problem.
What program are you using to log messages?

All,
Quick question that I'm sure is simple.
qmail is running, and my MTUs work fine. Unfortunately, when I and my users
log in, the login message is "No mail."
But that's not true. I can elm to my mailbox and there is mail! There can be
new mail too!
But that login message mocks me:
"No mail."
"No mail."
"No mail."
Any thoughts? I'm still using the Mailbox format until I get things
straightened out.

Warr

If you're running a Linux system with an up-to-date shadow suite
(or something similar) you'll find an option in your /etc/login.defs to
enable Maildir support.

Check out /etc/profile for something like this:
/bin/mail -E
case $? in
0)
echo "You have new mail."
;;
2)
echo "You have mail."
;;
esac
Whatever is checking for mail is clearly not looking in the same
place for the user's default mailbox as qmail is.

Hmmm! I've done this on my system and it's not working. I have the following
setting in login.defs:
QMAIL_DIR MyMail/incoming
My mailbox is a Maildir structure called incoming in the directory MyMail in my
homedirectory.

Hi,
1) Is there any tool to set a more readable format of a timestamp than
accustamp does (or some to convert).
I'm using 'cyclog' for logging.
2) How to log the username and and hostname from apop connection when
using the 'qmail-run4' scripst's??
Best regards
