Re: Qmailqueue patch over current qmail 1.03
No, I did. the qmail-queue patch only mods 2 files and the config for it is also by itself. qmail-queue will slow down mail processing (did in my case) so if its a medium/high volume smtp server then you better plan for some additional bogomips to fire off the scanning. -- Paul Farber Farber Technology [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ph 570-628-5303 Fax 570-628-5545 On Tue, 14 Aug 2001, board master wrote: > Hi, > > I've already installed: > > Qmail 1.03+Vpopmail 4.10+sqwebmail+daemontools+ezmlm+autoresond+ucspi > (PHWEW!) > > and I was wondering what would happen if I patched a brand new qmail 1.03 > with the qmailqueue patch (I want to use virus scanning) and installed the > patched qmail over itself.

Limiting qmail to save OS
hello all frequently (about 2 times a month) the file limits are being exceeded by qmail haveing to many files open. The box only has qmail/vpopmail and pop3 running on it. I have traced the 'failure' to 2 messages with 1053 reciepients listed. Evidently there is no way I can find to increase the 1024 open file limit on my 2.2.12 Red Hat box. How do you control the incoming mail as to not force the system to error out because of not open file resources? Why dose qmail itself keep accepting SMTP connections (and having to open a file to dump the mail to) when it must be getting an error about no more open handles available???

Hello all I'm trying to use the built in mail function in PHP4.0.1p2 (which is expecting sendmail, I have the environment set to use /var/qmail/bin/sendmail -t). I need to set the Reply-To: with a valid e-mail address, yet the e-mail is using root as the reply to. How do I get /var/qmail/bin/sendmail to take a Reply-To: header without environment variables?

Re: qmail died again... 3x in 3 weeks
It seems that all of a sudden my RH had a resource limit problem. DNS is fine, but after 61 qmail-remotes it wouls appear that RH ran out of resources. I searched the archives and added some ulimit commands to the qmail.init script, but I couldn't find a way to determine how many files to allow open etc If anyone knows how many resources qmail needs for a concurrancy of 100 let me know as the default RH settings are to low plus the other services on the box, https, ssh, ntp etc. Paul Farber Farber Technology [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ph 570-628-5303 Fax 570-628-5545 On Sat, 22 Jul 2000, Eric Cox wrote: > > > Paul Farber wrote: > > > > telnetting to port 25 and 110 just timed out. > > This usually means (when it has happened to me anyway) that the > server is listening on the port you're telnetting to, but is > stalled doing a reverse DNS lookup of the client's IP address. > Perhaps a munged reverse DNS zonefile? > > > > DNS was fine... it means > > just that, I could ping via hostname and the dns logs show it was running. > > That could still happen under the above scenario... > > Eric >

Re: qmail died again... 3x in 3 weeks
telnetting to port 25 and 110 just timed out. DNS was fine... it means just that, I could ping via hostname and the dns logs show it was running. No other host (the web server specifically) showed a dns failure (log files had hostnames resolved during the 30 minute mail 'outage'. I have the ps output saved as files, gpm cut/paste will only go so far. qmail unable to fork is a new one for me. I have concurrency set to 100, and ulimit returns unlimited (from the command line). ulimit -a shows core file size (blocks) 100 data seg size (kbytes) unlimited file size (blocks) unlimited max memory size (kbytes) unlimited stack size (kbytes) 8192 cpu time (seconds) unlimited max user processes 2048 pipe size (512 bytes)8 open files 1024 virtual memory (kbytes) 2105343 System memory available: Mem: 131022848 125976576 5046272 8724480 77127680 23965696 Swap: 41250816 3854336 37396480 MemTotal:127952 kB MemFree: 4928 kB MemShared: 8520 kB Buffers: 75320 kB Cached: 23404 kB SwapTotal:40284 kB SwapFree: 36520 kB I can see a large emailing from 1 single user in the logs, 2 of over 50 bounced (from qmail-qread). but I'm pretty sure I've had CC's or To: of 150 before without problems (from a site we host).

Re: qmail ucspi-88 ident
I grepped the maillog and no exiting was found. As for tcpserver logs, I don't log that info to speed up the server I only get qmail messages. I'm not sure about the triggers, but no one was logged in (that I could find) and the only thing that I saw abnormal was the remote concurrency go from 0-96 (first due to CNAME failures), then remote slowly declined to 0, then it ramped back up to 96 with what appeared as remotes going through, then it trickled down to 0, then back up to 96 with more remote deliveries. I never see concurrency remotes that high.. generally 20 is a big number.. that's why I think that has *something* to do with it. Was it just one of those things???

Log files seem to indicate that ident was having problems: Jul 11 00:06:50 mail in.identd[19532]: request_thread: read(0, ..., 1023) failed: Connection reset by peer but there are other errors in the mail log, basically CNAME lookup failures Jul 11 07:58:30 mail qmail: 963316710.398974 status: local 0/100 remote 34/100 Jul 11 07:58:30 mail qmail: 963316710.443515 delivery 79822: deferral: CNAME_lookup_failed_temporarily._(#4.4.3)/ It looks like supervise died, but when I tried to restart qmail it said it was already running... I didn't see it in the ps output. Any ideas? Do I need to run DJB's DNS daemon also? Thanks! Paul Farber Farber Technology [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ph 570-628-5303 Fax 570-628-5545

Re: vpopmail + qmail
My questions was that there is not docs for the vconvert program, nor any doc's if you don't check the mail via POP3 (ie the users are on the same machine). Not a lot of unix MUA have POP3 support. I finally figured out that I could forward the mail to a 'local' user by adding a vpopaccount, then creating a foward to the same user @localhost. A bit of a hack.. but it worked.

Re: Disable telnet to port 110
Network/server latentancy and a poor MUA (OUTLOOK!) could cause a lot of 'could not connect to host' errors.

Re: Disable telnet to port 110
I think the original poster is just 'scared' because the POP3 protocol uses cleartext command (telnet, perl script, python) could connect up and get mail. Thinking that telneting to 110 and giving the same commands at a console is somehow 'hacking' a system. It will blow thier mind when they telnet to port 25 and can actually SEND mail!

Re: Disable telnet to port 110
WTF? Telnet has nothing to do with POP3. Comment out the telnet line in inetd.conf. If you need to filter port 110 that different, but it has nothing to do with POP3.

Hello all, Is there a way to insert a shim (or shell wrapper) before qmail-local deleivers a local message? IE, check for message size if $RECIEPENT = 'baduser' or some such thing?

Well, to thourghly test any of these scripts for qmail.. you need a copy or infected e-mail to run through the script. Does anyone have an infected e-mail to post? Or a URL where I can get one?

If it not set up to use DSO's then of course you have to set the program up to do it that way. If you want a red car, either buy a red one (ie get an apache binary with DSO built in) or paint the car red yourself (recompile what you have with DSO enabled). It's so simple it's confusing.

OE 4/5 smtp timeouts
Hello all, Having one heck of a time with Outlook Express 4/5 timeing out when sending mail. Are there any timers to adjust in the app or on the server side (qmail 1.03) to get rid of these MS 'features'? Paul Farber Farber Technology [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ph 570-628-5303 Fax 570-628-5545

What does the qmail file look like? The message file? Do you have the http server set to record at debug level? Most are preconfigured to use warn.

They may be sending a bare linefeed in the message. Qmail seems to have this problem. From what I understand it's not gonna be fixed bacause it's the other server's fault not a qmail problem.

bounce handeling
A bit of advice on how other sytems handle bounces I get anywhere from 500 to 1K bounces a day on a qmail 1.03 RH 5.2 mailserver. What's the best way to handle them?

Message time/dates
Hello all, I've been getting a few calls about times and dates on e-mails. Ex, just got a call and the lady said that it's taking two days to get her mail from AOL... the e-mail header she read to me said the mail was recieved on 9/12 at 15:38... but it took two additional days to show up in her inbox as the time/date the showed up in Outlook express was 9/14 (not in the headers just on the diplay). I said the she may not have checked the mail for two days (as the header said I recvd 2 days prior).. she insists that there is a problem. Any ideas?? Paul D.

Re: Still 533
I guess I don't fully understand the tcpserver part of it. I know if the domain is not in rcpthosts it will not relay... but if I start tcpserver WITHOUT -x it will deny ALL relaying? I see it as "If I want to selective relay, use -x with a list of all ip's to set RELAYCLIENT, otherwise no -x will allow all ip's to relay". Or is it "If I want to selective relay, use -x with a list of all ip's to set RELAYCLIENT, otherwise no ip's will be allowed to relay". One of them should be close??? Thanks all. Paul D.

Acutally the qmail-iniit script will check of the presence of qmail-smtp.cdb then add the -x option.. I'll assume you are not using a sysV based system. As for the trailing ., I have one line with it and one with... works fine either way.

RCPTHOSTS and 533 "Not in rcpthosts"
Hello all Got a really goofy problem with qmail-1.02/RH 5.1. I added a customer and his /24 to my service. Set up vmailmgr for virtual POP mail and added the domain haven.k12.pa.us to the rcpthost file, restarted qmail-smtpd. All the MUA's were set up to use mail.f-tech.net (not haven.f-tech.net as the MX record says).. but if I add haven.k12.pa.us to rcpthosts it should not have mattered? 9367 ? S0:00 tcpserver -v -H -R -c100 -u81 -g80 0 smtp qmail-smtpd 10980 ? S0:00 qmail-smtpd The error was not e-mailed back, but displayed in a message box in both Eudora Pro, Netscape 4.5 and Kmail. I am now running without a rcpthosts file because that's the only way I could get it to send mail. Any suggestions? Paul D.

If you want to stop spammers, take them to court. Filtering e-mail just pisses the rest of us off. If you are serious about protecting your network resources then ACTUALLY FIND THE SPAMMER, and sue them. It's actually pretty easy. They usually give you the address or phone number you can use to get in contact with them.
Performance issues
Hello all... I am running qmail-1.03 RH 5.2 AMD 400 128 Mb / on 2GB IDE /home on 6GB IDE D-Link 530 TX PCI 10/100 NIC 1 qmail-smtp 1 qmail-pop3 (for normal pop3) 1 qmail-pop3 (for virtual domains using vchkpw) At most I can have 180 users connected to the modems. I am getting a lot of complaints from people saying they get "cannot find mail.f-tech.net" when they check their mail (pop3). Concurrancylocal and remote are both 100 and tcpserver is also -c100. 0:13 tcpserver -c100 -x /etc/tcprules.d/qmail-pop3d.cdb -u0 -g0 mail.f-tech.net pop-3 qmail-popup mail.f-tech.net checkpassword qmail-pop3d Maildir. What can I do to increase the allowable network connections? Is there anyway to monitor this situation? I've heard a lot of talk about removing the fcsk()? calls from qmail to speed it up. Or even turn off logging? Is there any way to bypass syslog and still keep the delivery info? redirect to stdout and pipe to a file??? Any pointers? Thanks. Paul D.

GOT IT! tcpserver unable to bind
Dumb mistake.. I only added a the IP to the 2nd instance of pop3d, forgetting the first.. which was still set to bind to all ip's (ie the 0 was still there). Put the hostname on both tcpserver lines and its in there! Thanks for all the helpyou're on the christmas card list! Paul D.

Re: tcpserver unable to bind
This is what I get. tcpserver: fatal: unable to bind: address already used 13255 p1 S0:00 supervise /var/lock/qmail-vpop3d tcpserver -c100 -u0 -g0 207.44.65.14 pop-3 qmail-popup 207.44.65.14 /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw qmail-vpop3d 13307 p1 S0:00 supervise /var/lock/qmail-vpop3d tcpserver -c100 -u0 -g0 207.44.65.14 pop-3 qmail-popup 207.44.65.14 /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw qmail-vpop3d the qmail-vpop3d is just a copy of qmail-pop3d renamed for supervise to work properly or else it will say it's already running.. which is it as the "normal" pop3 server. It looking more like a supervise problem? Paul D.
