[qmailtoaster] Bulk Email
Hi Everyone, Wish you all a Happy and Prosperous New Year 2009. I have a corporate qmailtoaster mail server running fine. The sales dept of the company had come up with a requirement to send new year greetings and new offers to their discontinued customers thru email. There are about 5000 email ids and they don't know if the ids are active or not and they are planning to email merge the message to the list. My worry is will this make the server as a spam source and will the server end up in the spam black lists. Your advise on this is very much appreciated.

Re: [qmailtoaster] Bulk Email
If they can provide you with the addresses in an excel sheet, you can import it into an ezmlm list. Problem solved. How to import is in the wiki.

RE: [qmailtoaster] Bulk Email
DNK, Thanks for your quick response. They can do email merge from excel sheet and the msgs goes out as individual msgs addressed to one id each. The problem is many emails can be bounced from the receiving server due to the mail box not existing currently. The ids of old discontinued customers are not used for a while and we don't know if they are active now. Will the server endup in spam black list is my query?

Re: [qmailtoaster] Bulk Email
Well what I was suggesting is not doing it as a mail merge, but rather using the list server itself to send. That way, the flow of email is controlled by the list server. In theory, you should not be black listed as mailling list servers send out huge amounts of mail to any given domain, on any given day. Your sales staff would only be sending the one email to the list address. I myself have a few lists with ~ 8000 users, and send multiple messages in a day.

Re: [qmailtoaster] TLS unable to initialize ctx
Drat... I was going to look like a magician! I FORCE my non-local users to use POPS, IMAPS, and SMTPS when they communicate to the mail servers (NOTE: I manage more than 30 qmail servers for clients)... and I ALWAYS have to increase the default memory sizes for the processes in the supervise/run scripts when I install/reinstall! The issue is that the SSL libraries are simply too large to link in to the default memory size! Let me guess -- you (like me) are using a 64-bit version of SUSE (mine are actually Fedora) -- it seems to me that my 32-bit systems do not have this problem. I change the memory limits for ALL of my SSL-enabled protocols (pop3-ssl, imap4-ssl, smtp, submission, smtp-ssl to 128MB and everything works fine. (WHY SMTP? Because it's an OPTION in standard smtp [port 25] to use SSL, and if you don't increase the size then you'll be advertising that you accept SSL connections on that port, but in anyone actually TRIES to use it, it'll crash) Anyway, since I won't look like a magician, at least I'll explain the logic behind the magic! :-) HAPPY GNU YEAR EVERYONE! Dan IT4SOHO Stefan wrote: Did you install all the dependencies before installing the packages? Yes, I did, i followed the instructions in the SuSE 10.1 tutorial like i did before on the other server with the same hard- software. I increased the softlimit of the submission process and the error is now gone, but its a strange behavior. I also have done that on the other server but due to another error, increasing the memory limit seems to fix several errors. Another small question, is POP/IMAP with TLS supported?

Re: [qmailtoaster] mails missing from some domains and self signed certificate problem
Hi, What was the reason for bouncing? Can you get any one of that bounce mails? By default /var/qmail/control/spfbehavior will have 3(reject mode). That may cause the mails to bounce back for the domains which are not having proper spf records. Try to get one of the bounced emails. If it is the reason for bounce, make /var/qmail/control/spfbehavior to 0 or 1. Plz do any changes after analyzing the reason for bounce.

Re: [qmailtoaster] Receiving Email from AOL
Spamdyke performs exceptionally well on the perimeter, accepting smtp sessions from unknown mail servers. It's capable of rejecting 80+% of spam before it's even received, which reduces server load considerably because less mail is scanned by clamav and spamassassin (which are the biggest resource hogs in a toaster). I think you'll be pleased with the results you'll see. Josh Hopkins wrote: The bayes_auto_expire is set to 0. The email address and the domain are whitelisted in for spamassassin.

Re: [qmailtoaster] Barracuda
I had Non-related problems with my Barracuda today, their Tech suggested setting qmail to send smtp through the barracuda: Here`s what they said: The Barracuda Spam Firewall can be configured to fully process either incoming or outgoing mail, but an inbound Barracuda may also be configured to relay outgoing mail simultaneously. The Barracuda still scans outgoing mail, but not as thoroughly as incoming mail. Outbound, relayed mail is scanned for everything except Recipient Verification, Spam Scoring, Bayesian, Attachment Filtering and the Tag/Quarantine regular expressions. This means outbound, relayed mail IS scanned for RBL checks, Rate control, Whitelist/Blacklist, Intent, Virus scanning, Fingerprinting (in firmware 3.4 and above), and Block regular expressions. As such, using an inbound Barracuda with Outbound Relay will increase the load on the Barracuda.

The Barracuda still scans outgoing mail, but not as thoroughly as incoming mail. Outbound, relayed mail is scanned for everything except Recipient Verification, Spam Scoring, Bayesian, Attachment Filtering and the Tag/Quarantine regular expressions. This means outbound, relayed mail IS scanned for RBL checks, Rate control, Whitelist/Blacklist, Intent, Virus scanning, Fingerprinting (in firmware 3.4 and above), and Block regular expressions. As such, using an inbound Barracuda with Outbound Relay will increase the load on the Barracuda. Thanks Dave MacDonald Oh. I think I'd lose the barracuda. ;) -- -Eric 'shubes' - QmailToaster hosted by: VR Hosted http://www.vr.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: qmailtoaster-list-unsubscr...@qmailtoaster.com For additional commands, e-mail: qmailtoaster-list-h...@qmailtoaster.com - QmailToaster hosted by: VR Hosted http://www.vr.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: qmailtoaster-list-unsubscr...@qmailtoaster.com For additional commands, e-mail: qmailtoaster-list-h...@qmailtoaster.com - QmailToaster hosted by: VR Hosted http://www.vr.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: qmailtoaster-list-unsubscr...@qmailtoaster.com For additional commands, e-mail: qmailtoaster-list-h...@qmailtoaster.com i believe barracuda uses spamassassin. barracuda is pretty much a server PC with spamassassin/clamav/postfix installed with an easy to use administration web ui. - QmailToaster hosted by: VR Hosted http://www.vr.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: qmailtoaster-list-unsubscr...@qmailtoaster.com For additional commands, e-mail: qmailtoaster-list-h...@qmailtoaster.com
RE: Re: [qmailtoaster] Barracuda
i believe barracuda uses spamassassin. barracuda is pretty much a server PC with spamassassin/clamav/postfix installed with an easy to use administration web ui. It's one of ten programs it uses for filtering and likely highly customized. The main advantage to running a Barracuda is that it's dedicated hardware. I have never seen load averages on Linux servers in production like the ones I've seen on Qmail Toasters and it's predominantly because of the burden of spam filtering. Again, for a few users it's fine, but if you're, say, an ISP with thousands of users, it's unscalable and a Barracuda ends up being a much more elegant solution. - QmailToaster hosted by: VR Hosted http://www.vr.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: qmailtoaster-list-unsubscr...@qmailtoaster.com For additional commands, e-mail: qmailtoaster-list-h...@qmailtoaster.com
[qmailtoaster] Auto create IMAP folder
Hi list, I patch the vpopmail toaster with skel patch, it helps auto create imap folder (Drafts, Trash, .). After that, I test with vadduser command, the patch works great. But if I create users through qmailadmin, the system does not do that, imap folder is not auto created. I do not know why. Some body know this? Help me please. I need those folder auto create when I add user through qmailadmin. Many thanks.
