I have a system with redhat 6.1 and qmail with 50 GB of space. Currently the system is serving 35000 users. We are saving the email directories of users under
"/users" partition. Under users we are creating a directories of individual users. Now we are unable to create any directories under "/users " partition. The output of
"df -i" is showing the following:
/dev/sda6 3035520 432038 2603482 14% /usersBut I am able to craete a directory under a sub directory of /users partition.
Now i want to ask the folowing questions:
1: What is the maximum no. of sub directories under a directories?
2: Is there any way to increase this numbers of maximum files/ sub dir under main dir?Please help
Thank you

What filesystem is your > partition on ? the answers to both of these questions was in the original query. I believe there is a limit ot the number of directory entries in the 'root' of the filesystem; iirc it's about 32K or so under linux. In general it's a bad idea to have this many subdirectories in a single filesystem unless you're running something like rsierfs or XFS since it is moderately expensive in terms of time to linearly scan the directory searching for the right one. There is are a couple of ways to 'fix' the limit. Very risky things would include modifying the fs drivers for the existing filesystem. moderately risky things include converting the partition to rseifs. safe things include hashing your user's directory names and moving their filestore. into the right directory.r At my last place of work we had the maildirs on something like /mail/ai/s/ais007 Where the ai and s are from the first three characters of the username (ai is the department, s means staff [p=graduate student, a-h=undergraduate]) RjL ================================================================== You know that.

In Here's the full story, as I understand it: The normal limit (for unix filesystems) is the max value for links in an inode: every directory entry using a link in the parent. In UFS, ic_nlink is a short (16 bits), leading to a max 32765 (+2 entries for the directory itself and its parent) subdirectories in any directory. XFS has a value called bs_nlink of type nlink_t (__uint32_t, 32 bits on the 32 bit systems.) (I think it's DOS FAT which has a particular limit of entries in the root of the filesystem) James.

If you're seeing this in your logs, then I think this is an error coming from the other side, on outgoing mail. If so, then you need to talk to the sysadmin of the other site. If you have, and that's what you are referring to above, then it's not your problem, it's his/hers. If you're wondering why there are so many "if"s in this answer, it's because you included far too little info in your post to be certain of anything. Include some context and we might be able to help - at this point I don't know if the above message is incoming or outgoing. Eric
Hello all. I installed qmail-qsanity from http://www.qmail.org/qmail-qsanity-0.52 yesterday. Here is some output from this morning. [root@##### /var/qmail/bin]# ./qmail-qstat messages in queue: 1 messages in queue but not yet preprocessed: 0 [root@##### /var/qmail/bin]# ./qmail-qread [root@##### /var/qmail/bin]# ./qmail-qsanity message has no entry in info: 50493 message is neither local nor remote: 50493 My question.. is there any way to look at this message and /or deliver it? thanks, tony.campisi

I use qmail-inject as my mutt mail queuing agent as this: in my .muttrc: set sendmail = '/var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject -f [EMAIL PROTECTED]' Mutt then queues mail bu appending all the recipients on the command line. This works most of the times, but not on all RFC 822 messages. When sending a mail from mutt to "address with spaces"@x42.com (Which is a valid, working and existing address, by the way) then qmail-inject does not parse that argument properly as a recipient. Just injecting the mail without the recipient on the command line works well, though, and qmail-inject parses the To:-line fine. BUG-CASE: echo "To: \"address with spaces\"@x42.com\nSubject: Hello 1" | \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject -f [EMAIL PROTECTED] \ "\"address with spaces\"@x42.com" FAILS! but... SUCCESS-STORY: echo "To: \"address with spaces\"@x42.com\nSubject: Hello 2" | \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject -f [EMAIL PROTECTED] Succedes. (syntax above depends on your shell, but you get the overall picture) /magnus -- References: RFC822; STANDARD FOR THE FORMAT OF ARPA INTERNET TEXT MESSAGES http://rfc821.x42.com/
This is because qmail-inject expects to be passed unencoded email addresses and mutt passes rfc 821 encoded email addresses. They do this because sendmail treats addresses as being rfc 822 encoded, and some unencoded addresses won't work. If you want these addresses to work you can modify the sendmail program (the qmail sendmail emulation program) to parse its arguments using the mess822 stuff. Another approach that might work is to change mutt to have it specify parse the headers rather than explicitly list the rcpt to addresses on the command line. However you will need to be careful about how mutt handles bcc addresses. They currently don't trust the injection program to remove those headers, so they aren't passed to the injection program. This topic has appeared both here and on the mutt-dev list in the past.

So it's not a problem here. As I see it, qmail-inject does not like quoted-strings in local-part on the command line. /magnus -- http://x42.com/
> As I see it, qmail-inject does not like quoted-strings in local-part on the > command line. No, it treats the addresses on the command lines as raw addresses. If there are quotes in the raw address (and almost certainly there won't be), then they would be included on the command line. The address you are want to send to doesn't have double quotes in it. They are just used for encoding the address for the smtp transaction.
Hi everyone, I'm new to linux as well as qmail and I've gone through the basic installation and the qmail daemons are running but when I deliver mail to myself (as suggested by TEST.deliver) nothing happens. I don't even know whats wrong because I don't know where the error log is found, if it is an error. If anyone has any ideas on how to proceed they would be greatly appreciated. =) Thanks. Fil.

Hi HuangChun,
Thanks for your response, but I have some doubts...
I would like to know how does Qmail gets to know the path where the messages are delivered. For example, Qmail receives one message from anybody and then it needs to deliver it to the right user's path. How does Qmail handles this question? Is it defined in qmail-getpw.c?
Is there any possibility to send these modified files that you used to make Qmail support Oracle?
Thanks for your help !!

Hi, Biancalana, I have modified Qmail to support Oracle 8i.

If a process dies while delivering a message to an mbox, the mbox becomes corrupted. Maildir is not corruptible, if used correctly. Maildir also has no need for file locking. paul

I'm not familiar with pop-locks, and I have no experience with Netscape for mail, but I can tell you that two programs operating on different messages in the same maildir don't need to coordinate with each other. You can have two simultaneous POP sessions accessing the same maildir. paul

OK. It's just that I can't really find the guilty part. When using a perl wrapper with mutt, mutt sends -f [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- "address with spaces"@x42.com on the command line to the mail queuer. Doing this manually works. But letting mutt do it directly to qmail-inject fails by queuing three different addresses, "address@<defaulthost>, with@<defaulthost> and spaces"@x42.com. Sorry for bothering you with my blabbering. /magnus -- http://x42.com/

The reason it works when you run qmail-inject from the shell, is that the shell interprets the double quotes and they don't get passed to qmail.

Now, where is the mailbox I am supposed to look in? I use pine, and even tried mutt, but no messages in either. I think I remember seeing something on making some cahnges in these to to make work with qmail. I used ./Mailbox, so should this be sending to mbox? Thanks

Others should use proven scripts like those in LWQ. You could end up with two POP3 tcpservers if your re-ran your script without killing the old one off. -Dave

Read lwq ... http://web.infoave.net/~dsill/lwq.html#relaying .... In a nutshell tcp.smtp is used to define for which originating IP's you allow relaying, in order to prevent becoming SPAM central :) tcp.smtp.cdb is a binary hash of the tcp.smtp file to speed up lookups from the file.

Does anyone have a working tcpserver w/stunnel configuration they'd like to share? From the list archives I gather a patch is in order however the last posts on the topic are from '98 and that code appears to be out-dated. I'm using stunnel 3.4a from the Debian packages (potato). I'm specifically interested in enabling SSL pop3, but seeing any configs for SSL smtp wouldn't be uninteresting either.

TIA I'm running stunnel 3.8, which I downloaded from <http://mike.daewoo.com.pl/computer/stunnel/>--more info there, take a look. There's also a site at <http://www.stunnel.org>, which must be new--I ran into it while researching this email, hadn't seen it before. POP3 over SSL seems to work fine, at least with Microsoft Outlook 98, which is the only client I've tested with. I'm not currently blocking normal POP3 connections, but as I understand it you use tcpserver to only accept pop3 traffic from localhost (which limits it to accepting connections forwarded from the s-pop3 port to the pop3 port using stunnel), in much the same way you configure qmail-smtpd to only relay mail from specific IPs. I tried (and failed) to run stunnel under tcpserver in non-daemon mode--perhaps I was doing something wrong, but I eventually just ran it stand-alone in daemon mode--I've included my init.d script below. I also failed to get SMTP over SSL working--from what I understand, it's not enough just to tunnel it. Maybe someone more knowledgeable can help? - Bradey ------- My stunnel-spop3 init.d script, shamelessly stolen from lwq--better implementations, anyone? #!/bin/sh -e # /etc/rc.d/init.d/stunnel-ssmtp: start or stop SMTP-over-SSL tunnel. # borrowed from http://Web.InfoAve.Net/~dsill/lwq.html#start-qmail # modified by Bradey Honsinger # Installed by Bradey Honsinger 6/2/00 case "$1" in start) echo -n "Starting stunnel-ssmtp" env - PATH="/usr/local/sbin:$PATH" \ stunnel -d ssmtp -r localhost:smtp & echo $! > /var/run/stunnel-ssmtp.pid echo "." ;; stop) # ERROR-this won't work, pid has changed (stunnel spawned another) # Currently, this script will not stop stunnel, since it can't # tell the difference between an stunnel running on smtp and others. echo -n "Stopping stunnel-smtp" kill `cat /var/run/stunnel-ssmtp.pid` echo "." ;; restart|reload|force-reload) $0 stop $0 start ;; *) echo 'Usage: /etc/init.d/stunnel-ssmtp {start|stop|restart}' exit 1 esac exit 0

Yeah, I think this is what I'll end up doing too. I have a test setup with it and it works pretty well. The only downside to this that I can see is that using stunnel in daemon mode I don't get concurrency limits or any of the other tcpserver benefits for the initial ssl connections. I could run stunnel out of xinetd I suppose but then I wouldn't get the ssl caching hoo-ha that stunnel can do. So what's the general thought on just adding TLS/SSL support to tcpserver, is that outside of the ucspi-tcp model, better left up to a separate program, or something that would be nice but just hasn't been done yet? -- Jamie Heilman http://wcug.wwu.edu/~jamie/ "We must be born with an intuition of mortality.
