Maildir
There is one thing bothering me for a while. I first compiled qmail using Maildir but decided to back to Mailbox instead later. But whenever I add a new user using "useradd" on my redhat, it automatically adds a Maildir in the user's folder. Even after I recompiled qmail. Does anybody have the same experience before?

Re: Building very large Qmail instalations...
Mike Denka [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Could you, or anyone else who would care to join this discussion, please be more specific re: "Suns filesystems and qmails file operations"? I've done a lot tweaking squid proxies (Sun U2) and therefore had a lot to do with filesystems. You can see the difference, when you let squid create it's cache-dirs on a Sun and on e. g. a Linux box. There are several possibilities to increase the performance of Suns ufs. 1. use more spindles (that's why I asked for the number of disks in the A1000) - we used multipacks with 2 GB disks. 2. mount the filesystems with options ufs-logging and no-atime (if you're lucky and run Solaris 7). 3. try fastfs (not really recommended for mail servers) 4. read the tuning books (Porsche and others) We are load balancing a pair of Sun E250's sharing one disk array via NFS. All Maildirs are on the NFS share. So far (roughly 10,000 mailboxes) I don't notice any real problems. But I would be very interested in more detail regarding these two issues (Sun filesystems and qmail file operations) in case I do begin to notice I/O issues on the NFS server. Sorry, I've no experience with shared-storage on NFS. Maybe there are other issues with this ... Can you give a detailed explanation or perhaps point me to some appropriate docs for more detail? It's always the (a)synchronous update of metadata on the disk, buffering, etc. There's a nice paper about the soft-updates, which are used with FreeBSD ... By Töns -- Linux. The dot in /.

Hi all. I'm setting my first qmail server. For some reasons i must set the delivery dir to /var/spool/mail/$USER.

Why? If i would like to use qmail to delivery locally to /var/spool/mail what kind of modification i can try? thanks.

Rewrite Return Path or other host information?
Hi there, How can I completely rewrite "ReturnPath" or "Host information" in message header in qmail? For example, A mail --- relay to B's qmail --- C final destination -- receiver. I want the receiver or other user will return mail to B instead of A. Currently, if C's receiver return mail, it will try to contact A server. However, there are no sendmail/qmail daemon in A. Regards, Edward.
[NEWBIE] Header Re-Writing
Okay. I posted a message several days ago about making users/assign case-insensitive, but no one seemed to have an answer. Now I'm taking it from the other angle... Is there an easy way in qMail to rewrite To: headers bound for local delivery to ensure strictly lower-case usernames prior to getting passed to users/assign? That would still solve our problem in an almost-as-elegant manner. Thanks in advance! -- Jeremy Stanley, System AdministratorFoveon Corporation --

Qmail - Switch from ISP to in-house server DNS Stuff
Hey all We own andigilog.com and earthlink is currently hosting both our email and our web. I want to save us some money and shift the email (eventually the web too) back to our local Linux box. I have recently built up the Linux Box and I have chrooted DNS running on it. I have not shifted my name servers from earthlink to my ISP at Network solutions yet. My box is budha.andigilog.com. I am not currently broadcasting this to world (DNS). I want to set up qmail and test it for andigilog.com, without bothering earthlink. When I set up qmail do I ./config or ./config-fast andigilog.com? Thanks Steven Steven M. Klass Physical Design Engineer Andigilog Inc. 7404 W.

Theres strong juju magic in the queue, related to inodes and stuff. I think that if you try to interfere with that magic, possibly you'll get turned into a toad :) What you *can* try is to extract the files from the queue and mail-inject'em in the other machine, *then* flushing the queue.

You needn't actually start qmail to see if the queue looks ok as qmail-qread will tell you that. Regards.

Well, the real cost is qmail-queue which is invoked by qmail-inject. qmail-queue is syncing each submission so that it can gaurantee that the mail will not be lost. Doing lots of syncs to the queue is an expensive disk i/o operation. Your solution is to put your queue on a disk subsystem that can sync at the rate you want to submit (and deliver). Some do this with a faster disk, some do this with a partition that is spread across multiple spindles. How you do this depends on your OS type and what sort of hardware you are willing to throw at it. Regards.

How you do this depends on your OS type and what sort of hardware you are willing to throw at it. True, very true... If your hardwarebudget allows it, take a serious peek at solid-state disks if you want relly good performance in this case. Quantum Rushmore Ultra Series Solid State Disks looks nice but are quite expensive compared to other fast regular 10k rpm disks. If storage size (queue size in this case) is among your primary concerns also then turn your eyes onto some nice RAID system instead since those SSD's are not that large if you compare to the bucks you'll have to spend. --- Mattias Paulsson - Systems Administrator LLS/Futurize (http://www.futurize.com)

Re: file permissions problems
prashant: problem , user can't download their mails from home/user/Maildir i have checked the default file permissions it was 644 for all the files in /new under Maildir if i changes this to 777 then users are able to download the their new messages users home directory is owned by users only , and ya also 755 for Maildir please help me guys , should i keep 777 and 755 for /new/* and /Maildir it's not normal to download mail from the destination directory. you should either forward their mail to them or run your own pop server. your data indicates that the downloading program wants to delete read mails or suchlike, in which case these programs would need write access to the directory. 644 is a highly irregular mode for a private maildir. clemens
Qmail and virus scanning server
Greetings all, I was wondering if anyone can help. I have a Qmail system all up and running with SMTP and POP3. It sends and received mail correctly. What I have been asked to do is forward any mail to a Trend Micro SMTP email virus scanning server first before it is delivered. This means that even if I have USER-A and USER-B with POP3 accounts on the qmail server and they send mail to each other, the powers that be want that mail to first hit the Scan Mail server then relay to the Qmail server. I already know that I could reconfigure their SMTP/POP3 mail clients to use different addresses for sending and downloading mail (ie enter the IP of the Scan Mail server for SMTP and then the IP of the Qmail server for POP3). I was hoping that there was a server level setting (as apposed to something in each users .qmail file) that would forward the mail correctly. Exchange seems to have this function and they call it "Forward All Messages to host: hostname" instead of "Message Delivery Uses DNS" Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, -Larry Henshaw }:- [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Problem with me.
I've got an interesting problem. At work we manage the mail for several domains, which are all subcompanies of the parent company (We're yet another incubator). The parent company e-mail is outsourced. What should I use for the ../control/me domain under such a scenario? I don't want bounce reports for one subcompany to read another subcompany's domain. That is, just choose one subcompany and make it the local domain and the rest virtuals. And if I put the parent company's domain into ../control/me I get bounces all over the place. See below.

Why no queues on NFS?
Okay. First what I'm doing, what happened, and then my big question. I've got a load balanced array of qmail servers whose purpose is to relay messages and hold deferred messages. It is business critical that we don't lose deferred messages. My first solution for doing this is to place the qmail queues on an NFS mount. They'll stay on the reliable storage and the servers will talk to them when needed. It wasn't the simplest solution - the lock directory had to be on the local disk to have the named pipe in it, but I got it working. It ran for a day or two, and then it started getting some test traffic... and it stalled. It wasn't delivering messages for no obvious reason. I saw nothing new in the log file which is what alerted me at first, and the process list was full of qmail-remotes that weren't doing anything. I shut down qmail. So, I copied the pile of messages back to the local disk, and got qmail running again. The messages in queue were delivered in a few seconds. This prompted a bit of research. Why didn't it work? My boss wanted to know too. I found a message on this list where a man states that qmail queues cannot be located over NFS. My question is Why? they use maildir, so they don't need locking, right? Be technical, I may have to explain this to my boss. And if I can't put the queues there, is there a way to stored deferred messages there, so we can recover from a relay server explosion without losing already deferred messages?

sending mail outside local domain
I've recently set up qmail 1.03 on an OpenBSD 2.6 system.

Re: blocking aliases
An easier way to do this that works is to create ~alias/.qmail-default and insert | forward "$[EMAIL PROTECTED]" (your inside mailserver) which will forward all mail it does not know about to the inside server. Then you have create a .qmail file for local users to the server and forward mail to the inside server. Then make sure ~/qmail/control/locals has the domain that it will accept mail for instead of just forwarding ,then create aliases for the internal names and pipe to bitbucket. Just did it and it works like a charm.. Eddy "Hubbard, David" wrote: Hey Raj, how do you do the forwarding to the internal mail server? Do you have a virtualdomains entry set up for indsoft.co.in? If so, let's pretend that you have an entry like this: indsoft.co.in:username And then maybe in username's directory, you have a .qmail* of some type that handles the forwarding to the internal mail server. I think you could create a rule in your /.../qmail/users/assign file that says something like =username-all:blockall:uid:gid:directory::: where the 'blockall', uid, and gid, are an actual user account on your front-end computer. In blockall's directory, you put a .qmail .qmail-default that has your email address, [EMAIL PROTECTED] I think if you did that, the rule would catch any incoming [EMAIL PROTECTED] emails and forward them to you instead of to the internal mail server.

Be technical, I may have to explain this to my boss. You're confusing 1) user mail storage (Maildir), with 2) the qmail queue structure. Maildir is the storage format for final delivery, and is well suited to being on NFS. The qmail queue structure is not much like a Maildir, and is for intermediate storage of a message while waiting on final delivery. The qmail queue cannot be stored on NFS as it 1) requires exclusive access, 2) names files after disk inodes. A good document to read about would be INTERNALS. And if I can't put the queues there, is there a way to stored deferred messages there, so we can recover from a relay server explosion without losing already deferred messages? Just put your entire queue on a RAID partition. Just give yourself enough of a budget to have good IO speed on that RAID partiiton. I'll say it again, RAID 10. John
Anybody for a Distributed-Email-HOWTO?
Okay, for anybody that missed my 2c worth yesterday (or day before...I can't even remember what day is what at the moment), I am thinking about writing a HOWTO but only if: 1. There is enough support for it; and 2. There is no good reason for me not to bother. OK, enough of the blabbering. I have just finished implementing a new system that allows e-mail around an entire city (further with no major problems except cost of interstate and international communications) even though all e-mail only goes to one domain name. The e-mail is distributed via NFS to shares that connect when the remote location (either permanent ISDN or dialup modem) dial up, and there is no problem with messages not getting delivered when they are not connected, they are simply deferred until they connect. Users can check their e-mail from virtually anywhere in the world, no matter if they are inside their work network, or outside on the Internet, via the ability of distributed NIS. The idea of this system is to dramatically decrease network traffic by not having unnecessary bounces, having POP servers onsite, and the network will still appear to work (from any location), even if the main server goes down. Cost is also decreased as all that is required is a small server (x86's do the job fine) in each location, and one main server that only really needs to handle traffic and requests, with no real data storage capabilities. Messages are simply deferred if a server is down, but POP mail can still be retrieved. If one link goes down, nobody else is affected in the slightest. If anybody wants a HOWTO on this (ie you have a use for it), then please e-mail me personally, or post your comments on why or why not this is useful to the list. If you have already contacted me then please don't bother again! Thanks for your time Brett Randall.

In the FAQ, it directs you to put 'some.domain' defaulthost as a mechanism for rewriting your headers, etc. The problem with this is that if you send mail to an unqualifed localuser, then it rewritten as [EMAIL PROTECTED] and attempted to be delivered remotely, how do I make such mail be delivered locally? cheers, r.
