Hello qmailler, I have installed ucspi-tcp and got tcpserver running properly, but my problem is that I cannot find the man page. when i type "man tcpserver" or "man 1 tcpserver" I get no man page found error. Please help in this problem because I really want to read the page. Thanks and waiting for the response. -- Best regards, kat mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Yep still working great. And found this right out of the tcpserver man page: -climit Do not handle more than limit simultaneous connections. If there are limit simultaneous copies of program running, defer acceptance of a new connection until one copy finishes. limit must be a positive integer. Default: 40. Thanks again.

But another idea of mine emerges - is there a way (in qmail) to _globally_ add my custom header to all outgoing mail ?

I have a K6/2 400 running RedHat 6.1 with Qmail. The box has 160mb RAM and a cheapo IDE 4gb disk (was once a workstation). We have a 2Mb/s ADSL connection. It's running as a POP3/SMTP server for a small internal network for 15 users. All works great, however every so often (bi-weekly) I need to send an e-mail to 40,000 customers (different e-mail for each one), generated using MySQL and PHP's mail() command. I'm just wondering what kind of performance I should be expecting, and what kind of limits I should be setting in concurrencyremote? If I up it to say, 100 when I do one of these mass e-mails, will I get any problems with 'descriptors','openfiles' or 'maxproc' (I don' t know what these refer to, I just saw it in the FAQ). Do I take it 120 is the max I can set it to without compiling Qmail? Should I think about recompiling it with big limits? I'm not sure whether this it just for really, really big sites, or also for usage like mine. I know that it's very difficult to come up with specifics but I just want to ensure all e-mails get sent as quickly as possible - I don't want to have it dying halfway through, and I can't test a mass e-mail delivery to myself! Ideas appreciated Regards John

We have over 15.000 subscribed website-monthly-letter receivers. My script (being sent till this day on a sendmail system) was dying halfway (probably timeout). Triggering it from a command line is unfortunatelly not an option (it's done thru a www interface). I am also wondering what's the best way to send all these emails. Maybe setting up a mailing list would solve the problem... It had to be a one-way list (eg. mails are monthly sent only by a priviledged person)...Anyone on the list maybe had similar problem to this and can come up with a speedy and elegant solutions ? -- Lukasz Felsztukier : : d i g i t a l O n e : : interactive media house : : http://www.digitalone.pl : : Al.

I am also wondering what's > the best way to send all these emails. firstly, y'all are going to have to do some programming if you went to do this as quickly as possible. saying things like I HAVE to use the mail() interface in php or not using a command-line interface means you have little or no control over the delivery process for this specific class of mail problems. firstly, qmail-remote and qmail-queue are the two qmail programs you need to use. your script needs to do something like the following (in pseudo code) maxchildren=1000; children=0; whenever SIGCHLD decrement children while (workdoto) { get_work(); if (children == maxchildren ) wait(); child=fork(); # error conditions in parent if (child<0) { error, set maxchildrenlower, exit or retry; }; # this is the child process if (child==0) { send mail using qmail-remote if !success send mail using qmail-queue exit 0 # child finished }; # this is the parent process if (child > 0 ) children ++ } # wait for children to finish while (children != 0) wait(); exit ----------- In this way you'll make the first delivery attempt yourself for each recipient; avoiding any overhead in the qmail-send process or the queue management. if the first attempt fails then the message is passed off to qmail-send to handle, which should be a much lower volume of mail.

By using qmail-remote directly you avoid all of the I/O overhead of placing the message in the queue and have qmail-send find and process each message. Going to qmail-remote directly is a zero I/O cost strategy. I recently did a system somewhat like this across multiple servers and the systems doing the initial qmail-remote delivery attempt where diskless. Works a treat. Regards.

Basically it will move the concurrencyremote upto the maximum number of children. Unlike qmail-send however each child does not need to maintain any state information; it will try to send the message, and if that FAILS it will pass the message off to qmail to deliver. As most message get delivered on the first attempt you'll save the overhead of writing the message to disk, flushing the data, having qmail-send notice the message, move it from todo into remote, tell qmail-rspawn to start a delivery for a specific message and then remove it from the queue when it has finished. the speedup for delivery should be quite impressive. You'll have to do things like maintain a log of who received the message so if the main loop break you can restart it and people won't receive duplicates and other things like that, but still it's much less work than the absolutle requirements for reliable delivery a general purpose mail delivery agent has.

> pass the message off to qmail to deliver. As most message get delivered on > the first attempt you'll save the overhead of writing the message to disk, And this is a large caveat. If, eg, your network happens to be down at the time you attempt delivery, you'll inject a huge number of emails into qmail - that may hurt. When I've developed this sort of code I've found it just as easy to do the retries in the qmail-remote driver logic and dispense with qmail-inject/qmail-send altogether. Risk avoidance is the motive. > duplicates and other things like that, but still it's much less work > than the absolutle requirements for reliable delivery a general > purpose mail delivery agent has. As always, Richard knows what he speaks about. There are many optimizations available when you have very specific requirements that are less demanding than a general purpose mail delivery system such as qmail. The really great news is that you can use the qmail componentry such as qmail-remote to reduce your development costs. Try that with sendmail! Regards.
Hi, I've recently come into a situation where I want to be able to run processing rules on specific email gateways. Currently I have a few entries in smtproutes, and I would like to be able to do something like, move one of the domains from smtproutes to virtual domains, and then have a .qmail-default, containing say.. .qmail-default |/bin/mailfilter (reject and return to sender or accept and deliver) |forward domain.com (this is the bit I'm not sure about). Because I want to forward it on to a remote host, but not change the @domain.com part of the original e-mail, and just relay it, I'm unsure how to do this, can anyone suggest a way to do it?

I want to setup a mailling list in my computer using EZMLM. The MTA I'm using ri ght now is Postfix, so to make it able to run EZMLM, I bind postfix (inet_interf aces) to IP 129.123.230.12 and 127.0.0.1, and bind qmail at IP 127.0.0.3 ---taken from /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run--- exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 2000000 \ /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -p -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c "$MAXSMTPD" \ -u "$QMAILDUID" -g "$NOFILESGID" 127.0.0.3 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-sm tpd 2>&1 What I want to do is, let postfix receive email for @list.phxby.com and deliver it to qmail and qmail will deliver it to ~list which will trigger ezmlm to send, and let qmail send back emails from that mailling list via postfix (smtproutes) . The problem right now is when I try from localhost to send an email to something @list.phxby.com I got this error <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Sorry.

Hello qmaillers, I am relatively new to qmail & use it on single PC [Mandrake 7.0]. I have made general setup on qmail as described in INSTALL.* files. Now I want to go one step further. I want to automate the whole thing i.e. when a user send mail from KDEmail, netscape or any email client, it should queue the mails in a directory [i.e the user should feel that mail is delivered] and when I connect to net it should send the mails to the specified addresses. In short, my home PC should act as a small server. How is that possible? I have already d/l serialmail and other addon packages.Please be specific because I have not yet understood qmail fully yet. Please help and thanks a lot in advance. -kat

This is probably the wrong list, but I bet your ipchains is deny'ing port 53/udp. Why don't you flus your firewall, see how qmail works, then subscribe to the ipchains firewall list. Jonathan D.

Sorry for the re-post, but the time factor on this has been escalated a bit. We're in search of immediate help in installing qmail and djbdns on our OpenBSD 2.8 server. I'm been studying up on the qmail and djbdns usage, but really need an expert to install it and configure a sample domain for it. Unfortunately none of the American companies listed in the commercial support have been available, and we're looking for help ASAP. If any helpful qmail/djbdns installation on OpenBSD experts would like to help out a fellow Bernstein fan and earn some cash, please contact me, ASAP.

Is there already a program that We actually have all of our e-mail being stored in the Mail2DB db, not suprisingly. It's actually quite handy, but the message body is *NOT* stored in the database. I currently put *EVERYTHING* into the database and don't want the odd 1MB to 50MB message being shoved in there. Besides, it makes it *REALLY* easy to compress the bulk of the data. I'd highly recommend you consider Postgres over MySQL. The regex matching in SQL clauses is fantastic: SELECT filename, hdrsubject FROM mail2db WHERE hdrfrom ~ ".*@example.com"; Mhonarc is an interesting idea, if you just want a bunch of HTML files. For archiving, the ability to run SQL queries on messages has proven very useful...

Perhaps use the control/databytes file - or DATABYTES environment variable, as described in qmail-smtpd. This isn't able to distinguish between types of attachments, but you should probably have this set anyway (your users can always pretend its *not* an MP3 by renaming it to something else anyway). cheers, Andrew.

You know when qmail receives a Bounce it reinjects the Message in the queue and then the queue is rescanned. But what happens when there is a Delivery Failure and not a Bounce ? -- Thanks for fast Answer! Michael..

What do you mean by a delivery failure? Greetz, Peter.
Those are Failures: @400000003a8c3cc1118607d4 delivery 22609: failure: Sorry,_no_mailbox_here_by_that_name._(#5.1.1)/ @400000003a8c3cc12394e8dc delivery 22610: failure: Sorry,_no_mailbox_here_by_that_name._(#5.1.1)/ @400000003a8c3cc128cb2f14 delivery 22611: failure: Sorry,_no_mailbox_here_by_that_name._(#5.1.1)/ @400000003a8c3fce2155c294 delivery 22623: failure: 216.115.107.17_failed_after_I_sent_the_message./Remote_host_said:_554_delivery_error:_dd_User_is_over_the_quota.__You_can_try_again_later._-_mta314.mail.yahoo.com/ @400000003a8c3fcf0e2cd66c delivery 22624: failure: Sorry,_no_mailbox_here_by_that_name._(#5.1.1)/ @400000003a8c3fcf26b5acf4 delivery 22625: failure: Sorry,_no_mailbox_here_by_that_name._(#5.1.1)/ Peter van Dijk wrote: > What do you mean by a delivery failure? > > Greetz, Peter. -- Bye Michael...

These failures get reinjected and the queue gets rescanned. Also, I'm on the list. Please mail to just the list, and not me. Thank you. Greetz, Peter.

I tested a .qmail file with: |/var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject [EMAIL PROTECTED] and it worked just fine. Why do you need perl? Starting it, writing a file and then starting qmail-inject is rather expensive.

Hi, I am currently testing qmail and notice that for some users it will fail to deliver mail eventhough the Maildir exists and has the right permission. I will receive the message that there is no Maildir by that name. do I need to rewrite the dot in the e-mail address by something else ?. regards. Lucio Jankok
