[qmailtoaster] Domain Keys - Not Unique
Qmail Toaster on Centos4 Question: When I generate Domain Keys, I get the same key for every virtual domain. Should the system not generate a new key for every domain or is it based on the IP? Thank you, Gilbert T. Gutierrez, Jr.

[qmailtoaster] Message Filters
I am noticing that when email comes in (for example spam), it is put into the Inbox even though I have Message Filters indicating that it should go somewhere else. If I do not pull it using POP3, it will eventually move to the appropriate folder. Is there anyway to have the message filter work immediately rather than occurring every 5 or 10 min?

Re: [qmailtoaster] Message Filters
Gilbert T. Gutierrez, Jr. wrote: We are specifying the filters in Squirrelmail. Is there a better way? The filters in Squirrelmail will only run when you use the webmail client - they won't run if you use POP3. The better (read: harder) way to do it would be to modify/write your own mailfilter script to do what you want. You probably have one located in /etc/mail called mailfilter (which may not be running, unless you rebuilt with the --define 'spambox=1' option and depending on what version you're running). Read up on the docs for maildrop and mailfilter and you'll see that you can do a lot of neat things with them. smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature

Are these files the same on both machines? however i noted one more point on the second machine when we send email to some domain within the same machine then it is fast. That's to be expected. qmail-send passes the message off to qmail-local instead of qmail-remote. Sounds like qmail-remote is where the sluggishness is. This doesn't make sense though, as the smtp session of the sender (MSA session) is complete by that point. mails to email ids on remote domains is slow in the sending message stage This is sounding more like a DNS problem. I'm guessing now that it's slow looking up MX records of recipient domains. Is there a DNS cache working on each machine? What's in the /etc/resolv.conf in both? also i have one more question -- is it possible to disable spam scanning for mail submission. i do not wish scan my authenticated users for spam, however i wish to maintain virus scanning TTBOMK, that's the way the toaster presently operates. When a client authenticates, RELAYCLIENT is set (which I'm guessing tells simscan not to scan for spam?). You should see this reflected in the smtp log. It'd be good to have your clients use port 587 for submission if that's feasible. thanks rajesh m -- Original Message -- From: Eric \Shubes\ [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: qmailtoaster-list@qmailtoaster.com Date: Mon, 12 Feb 2007 20:38:21 -0700 24x7server wrote: hi

Were you expecting something that aliases can do that forwards don't? -- -Eric 'shubes' - QmailToaster hosted by: VR Hosted http://www.vr.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [qmailtoaster] SLOW SMTP SESSION - FAQ
Hi all based on what we have discussed, here are the checks to be made incase of a slow smtp session faced by emails users located on server sending out emails using outlook express or similar email client in a real life practical example assuming that your server has a ping response of less than 350 ms and with a 64 kilobits per second (8 kilobytes connection) a one liner test email shud go in less than 5 seconds assuming that your server is having normal load of around 2-3. follow the checks below 1) start with blacklists remove all rbl lookups in your /var/qmail/control/blacklists file if your smtp session improves then one of the rbls is the problem causer. preferred that you keep only -r bl.spamcop.net. adding others causes a lot or realife problems especially if you are hosting many domains and have many email users. 2) server dns check check resolv.conf a) ips shud be as such nameserver 127.0.0.1 nameserver aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa nameserver bbb.bbb.bbb.bbb the 2nd and 3rd lines are the dns servers of your datacenter / isp b) make sure that you have your local dns cache is working and forwarders are set correctly d) try interchanging the sequence of ips nameserver aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa nameserver bbb.bbb.bbb.bbb nameserver 127.0.0.1 if this speeds up the mailing then your local dns is at fault. if the above checks fail then please post your question to the list our request that other list participants add their comments to this for others to see. rajesh m - QmailToaster hosted by: VR Hosted http://www.vr.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
