Re: [qmailtoaster] Very strange and huge problem with port 25 and Qmailtoaster
The funny thing is that i haven't change nothing at all. Is it possible i have been blacklisted on port 25 by zen spamhouse? Also another problem happened yesterday, in the noon, we could not recieve e-mail from pop3 and ppl who recieved them were delayed by 30 minutes. Nothing special on logs the only strange thing i can see is in /var/log/qmail/smtp, this line: vchkpw-smtp: vchkpw is only for talking with qmail-popup and qmail-pop3d.

RE: [qmailtoaster] Very strange and huge problem with port 25 and Qmailtoaster
If it is any consolation, we have a site where the ISP has blocked port 25 traffic to any other point except their own outgoing mail server. This was noticed recently because the site is currently using mail hosted externally, and I have tried to install a qmail toaster machine and came across the block. Could this be an ISP thing?

Re: [qmailtoaster] Very strange and huge problem with port 25 and Qmailtoaster
Update: removing the following line from var/qmail/supervise/smtp/run let the port 25 works (that's means it works from telnet localhost and remote) BLACKLIST=`cat /var/qmail/control/blacklists` $BLACKLIST so the exec command it's the same but without the $BLACKLIST. Inside the /var/qmail/control/blacklists there's only this line: -r zen.spamhaus.org -r disabling spamd from /var/qmail/control/simcontrol let the port 110 works. :spam=no, NOTE: it takes 2/3 minutes to deliver a message from an external e-mail (gmail like) to our server. Is it normal time?

It's quite strange cause I had never had a vpopmail.user table. Also checking my vpopmail dump of 3 months ago and later there's no 'user' table in vpopmail db. So i don't know where this error comes from. About your previous question: /proc/loadavg 0.01 0.02 0.00 1/219 5009 this is after i've temporary disabled clamd and spamd with svc -d. named works fine also reverse.

[qmailtoaster] Limiting number of open files
Hello List. I'm having a problem in a fresh install of qmail-toaster over Centos 5.4 I'm using qmail-toaster on a VPS (Virtual Private Server). The server function as a mail server for 2 mail accounts with normal traffic, using imap. The VPS limit the number of open files to 6000. Without qmail-toaster running, the server has 1000-1500 files open, and when I start qmail-toaster it jumps to 6000 reaching the max limit and generating errors. Is it a normal behaviour? Is there a way to control the opened files?

I'm trying to determine if my servers or the sending servers are dropping the connection, and if my servers, what to do about it. Most of my log analysis and research took place on the 19th, I've been interrupted several times while trying to get this email off. A client's been trying to send messages to one of our salespeople since the 15th of July. I can see in the Spamdyke logs several instances per day, from the 15th to the 19th, of messages coming in from this client and passing Spamdyke tests.

:spam=no,
This only has an effect on incoming mail - has absolutely nothing to do
with POP/IMAP mail.
NOTE: it takes 2/3 minutes to deliver a message from an external e-mail
(gmail like) to our server. Is it normal time?
Sure. Sometimes they get delivered in a couple seconds, other times a
few minutes. Depends on a lot of variables. You have not indicated that
is Gmail is taking a long time to connect to you, or if you still have
problems on your system. You would need to watch the logs to see when
Gmail contacts your server to determine this.

There was a problem with spamdyke leaving defunct processes from TLS sessions, which has been fixed in the latest version (4.1.0). spamdyke doesn't have any files open when there are no smtp sessions active.

RE: [qmailtoaster] Spambox troubles
OK. I deleted the .qmail file from all accounts. As well, I reset the spamassassin database using sudo -H -u vpopmail sa-learn --clear I followed this with a qmailctl restart I am still getting a huge amount of false positives, and it is still dropping the ***SPAM*** marked emails into the .Spam box.

So if a legitimate message gets sent to sa-learn as spam, spamassassin will be tainted - this will have a snowball effect.

Disable the spambox by recompiling qmailadmin-toaster to disable the option - this will not REMOVE it for those that already have the .qmail file - it will only prevent people from turning the option on. You will then need to go and delete the .qmail files for the users to actually disable it for users. Delete the bayes DB, starting over like before, and adjust the mailfilter script to fit your environment a little better. Write a spamassassin rule that adds a negative score for things that you identify as legitimate message contents - eventually this will counter the tainted bayes, but it will take a LONG time. After checking the headers and seeing the BAYES_99 category, change it's score. This can be used in conjunction with some of the options above. Hope that helps some.

Delete the bayes DB, starting over like before, and adjust the mailfilter script to fit your environment a little better. Write a spamassassin rule that adds a negative score for things that you identify as legitimate message contents - eventually this will counter the tainted bayes, but it will take a LONG time. After checking the headers and seeing the BAYES_99 category, change it's score. This can be used in conjunction with some of the options above. Hope that helps some. - Qmailtoaster is sponsored by Vickers Consulting Group (www.vickersconsulting.com) Vickers Consulting Group offers Qmailtoaster support and installations.
