Big - to - do patch not much useful
Hi All, I have a server installed with qmail. I have applied DNS patch and Big-to-do patch and running qmail from 3 different directories parallelly. But, I am able to send 15 mails a second only Inspite of all the above Without Big-to-do patch also qmail gave me same performance !!! But, Is there anyway or config by which I can send say 100 mails a second Thanks Regards,Rajesh,tech solutions,[EMAIL PROTECTED],Intercept Consulting - INDIA.
multilog problem
so here is my problem... I did find some mention of this problem in the archives, but no solution to this problem. I installed qmail as per http://www.lifewithqmail.org/lwq.html (including pop3) now what i see is multilog: fatal: unable to lock directory /var/log/qmail: temporary failure I checked over this page many times, and can not see that I did anything wrong. Did I miss something? My other comment is that under section 5.2.1.2 it should tell you to make the following dirs (/var/log/qmail/pop3d /var/log/qmail/pop3d/log) before creating those files since the system won't allow you to make the files when the dirs don't exist (at least on my system it won't). My mail server is running right now, but any messages I send don't leave my system, and I don't receive any messages. if this has been explained somewhere I apologize, but I could not find an answer. I'm running debian linux with kernel 2.4.5, and i'm not a linux guru. lorac ___ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free @yahoo.ca address at http://mail.yahoo.ca
qmail-send cpu and imapd / Maildir
I'm new to the list so feel free to flog me if these questions are archived somewhere (i haven't been able to turn up anything on a couple of searches). 1) I'm running qmail on a debian box; i'm pretty sure it was built from the qmail-src 1.03-14 debian source package. there has been some debate as to whether this is normal; i've heard from a couple people that the qmail-send process is supposed to take up all the avail cpu when nothing else is using it; is that right? here's a typical output of 'top'... as you can see the load is a bit high for a machine that's doing nothing but accept mail for 30-40 people and provide imap / ssl imap service. the load rarely gets too high, and qmail does seem to allow other procs to take up some cpu, but generally qmail-send is taking up at least 40-50 percent of the cpu, and the load is often between 1 and 2 even in the evening when the box is being used for very little. 1:05am up 54 days, 10:06, 1 user, load average: 1.28, 1.32, 1.24 67 processes: 58 sleeping, 4 running, 5 zombie, 0 stopped CPU states: 33.0% user, 66.9% system, 0.0% nice, 0.0% idle Mem: 516576K av, 461880K used, 54696K free, 14500K shrd, 398160K buff Swap: 1020116K av, 5496K used, 1014620K free 27264K cached PID USER PRI NI SIZE RSS SHARE STAT LIB %CPU %MEM TIME COMMAND 168 qmails13 0 212 188 108 R 0 98.6 0.0 74778m qmail-send 8046 william2 0 1284 1284 688 R 0 0.9 0.2 0:00 top 446 dallas 0 0 1008 1000 336 S 0 0.3 0.1 0:12 imapd 1 root 0 0 108 6448 S 0 0.0 0.0 0:28 init 2 root 0 0 00 0 SW 0 0.0 0.0 0:02 kflushd 3 root 0 0 00 0 SW 0 0.0 0.0 0:47 kupdate 4 root 0 0 00 0 SW 0 0.0 0.0 0:00 kpiod 5 root 0 0 00 0 SW 0 0.0 0.0 0:13 kswapd 84 daemon 0 0840 0 SW 0 0.0 0.0 0:00 portmap 172 qmaill 0 0 208 200 160 S 0 0.0 0.0 8:49 splogger 173 root 0 0 156 12056 S 0 0.0 0.0 5:30 qmail-lspawn 174 qmailr 0 0 140 11284 S 0 0.0 0.0 0:19 qmail-rspawn 175 qmailq 0 0 116 10076 S 0 0.0 0.0 1:02 qmail-clean 179 root 0 0 388 372 300 S 0 0.0 0.0 214:40 syslogd 186 root 0 0 4480 0 SW 0 0.0 0.0 0:00 klogd 2) has anyone had much luck with any type of imapd other than courier for qmail using Maildir? i was able to get the uw Maildir patches to work, but it didn't seem to work well with 'dot' subfolders. When creating folders from netscape the new folders were created in the main home directory, and '.' subfolders and sub-subfolders didn't show up.

I cannot imagine why any enterprise would want to switch from POP3 to IMAP. They are designed to do completely different things. POP3 exists to get the email the heck off your server as quickly as possible, whereas IMAP is designed to keep the email on your server forever. Unless you chose the wrong protocol in the first place, why are you switching? Firstly, I'm not an enterprise :) Secondly, POP3 is easily chosen because it's more compatible in general. There are hardly any MUA:s out there that doesn't support it properly, while the same is not true for IMAP. I've switched to IMAP because it gives me more freedom to switch MUAs and access my mail from anywhere with an IMAP capable client.

Here is what has occurred thus far: I've had a LWQ setup running for about 4 months now without issue. Over this time, I've accumulated 22k email boxes on 8k domains. Last week, I made a mistake that should've been a temporary issue that has ballooned into a serious situation. The rcpthosts file was deleted, which, of course, made the box start to reject email. I rebuilt the rcpthosts list the next morning, and expected all to be well. Soon after the reload, we began to see our SMTP service go painfully slow, only allowing a trickle of emails to get in. So the rcpthosts list going blank and then being rebuilt is not the problem, but I suspect that due to unrelated misconfiguration, the box was unprepared to handle the backlog of email due to the 10 hours of downtime(or it was just coincidence). I have noticed that if I do a qmail stop and then a qmail start, about 20 successful SMTP connections immediately come in, and then even though qmail is still running, no more connections can get thru.

Binary in the Subject: header
Hi, I'm running qmail-1.03, with qmail-pop3d, running out of users/assign and users/poppasswd under a single system uid. A well known virus (email auto-sending one) is generating messages with binary in the subject header. I guess more correctly it's inserting formatting in the headers, newlines, bold, italics (^M, \223, \222 etc) This is causing either qmail-pop3d or Netscape mail clients (not sure which side has the problem), to lock up and error, (error occured while saving messages, unable to retrieve messages from the pop server). I've seen references to maildrop in the archives, would it be possible to filter from something like this with all users running under a single uid. Thanks, Brett

That indicates a badly written application somewhere. You know that though. You can take portmap off. You don't need it. Portmap wouldn't make it 3 days without being broken into if it were on the Internet. That's not the problem though. Do you have how you start off qmail-send?

Safecat error
Hi all, I've had some problems lately with safecat program. Sometimes some users of my qmail server ask me why your messages aren't getting in them directories. They send messages to themselves and sometimes this messages aren't delivered in the directory. I have an alias .qmail-default with the following expression |/bin/delivery. This delivery program is a perl program. There are a procedure like this into this program: system(/usr/local/bin/safecat /home/$domain/$login/Maildir/tmp /home/$domain/$login/Maildir/new); I checked the variables $domain and $login and they are right, but sometimes happen some error that I can't see and the message isn't delivered. Can someone help me about it? Best regards, Cleiton

I have just installed qmail on a Debian box following a HOW-TO by Adam Mckenna and I am having problems starting it.

child crashed
Hi everyone for some reason I'm getting this error on my qmail-send log file @40003b40ca153456a8a4 delivery 1594225: deferral: Aack,_child_crashed._(#4.3.0)/
Qmail/MailMan - Crashing Children with no cause.
This is an odd ball error: "deferral: preline:_fatal:_child_crashed/" I'm using mailman as a list agent (ezmlm is nice, buta bit short of my needs) and for some reason when passing info through preline this error pops up in the syslog. However if I pipe the mail message direct to the command itself without preline or qmail, I get a message just fine. the line in the .qmail- file reads: |/var/qmail/bin/preline /usr/local/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd timy As much as I would like to say it's all mailmans fault, I can't figure why it would die via only qmail, and not the command line. I'm on Solaris X86 ver 8 Using roaming users, and vchkpwd. Any ideas of things to try or how to debug would be very helpful and appreachiated -Alex
Re: Qmail/MailMan - Crashing Children with no cause.
Search the archives for preline and SIGPIPE. I think you'll find the answer there. Regards.

RE: Qmail/MailMan - Crashing Children with no cause.
I don't think that's the problem.. To quote Dan, The next version of preline will work just like a pipe from the shell: it will put the main command in the foreground, and it will die silently if it receives SIGPIPE. ---Dan I even to speculation, used the patch in the archives with still the same result. *pullig heair out* why can appy's just get along? -Original Message- From: MarkD [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, July 02, 2001 4:20 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Qmail/MailMan - Crashing Children with no cause.
