RE: [qmailtoaster] Some IMAP related queries
This is the backup/replication that we use. Assuming that dovecote uses the same mysql data base and folder structure, I don't think any modifications need to be done to accommodate dovecote. I will hopefully give this a try this week. http://wiki.qmailtoaster.com/index.php/QMT_Failover_replication_Setup Thanks again.

I've not been able to install this yet, but was wondering from your experiences, would I have to adjust my backup/replication process much? That depends on your backup/replication process, but I doubt that it would change much if any. How well does Dovecote integrate? In other words does it use the existing auth model and read qmails mysql data etc? It integrates very easily. It is capable of authenticating using vpopmail, so it's just a matter of setting up the configuration properly. The documentation is very good, and IIRC has an example of vpopmail configuration. Basically can you think of any major hurdles I may run into, or does it run largely the same on the surface as courier but more efficiently. It's about as close to a drop-in replacement as you can get. It will automatically build all of the indexes and such that it needs, on the fly. It fixes itself if/when it sees something wrong. Pretty slick. A few of our mailboxes are rather large and I like the idea of the faster server with caching. I'm hoping to have a server next week to install and test this on, but thought I would ask so I can eliminate a few things. The only thing I can think of that you'll need to decide is whether or not you want to set up your namespaces to be like courier (every subfolder under/within Inbox), or allow users to create subfolders along side of the inbox. I opted for the later, as the courier namespaces really bugged me. If you choose the later, there's nothing really to convert or anything. Might need to change subscriptions on the client side is all. The only difference setting it up is a configuration setting that is well documented. Thanks again. Sure. Let me know if you need any help, but please keep this sort of thing on the list so others can benefit from the answers too.

Dovecot also appears to perform better with large folders, handle shared folders better, is more robust (recovers automatically from any errors), and is under active development. See http://dovecot.org for more. As a result of using Dovecot, I'm also looking to use the accompanying deliver program (Local Delivery Agent), which includes a plugin for the standard sieve programming language.

RE: [qmailtoaster] Two Toasters And A Backup Script?
You could also look at the qmail replication script which you can find in the wiki. It automates the domain sync. We have 2 identical servers running the script which runs every 15 minutes, so when if our primary fails, we change ip's on the backup and we are back up and running with at most 15 minutes difference. We've had to use this recovery once, which work flawlessly with about 3 minutes downtime. Basically none of our clients even noticed a problem. -Original Message- From: Lucian Cristian [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 26 August 2008 08:38 To: qmailtoaster-list@qmailtoaster.com Subject: Re: [qmailtoaster] Two Toasters And A Backup Script?

RE: [qmailtoaster] Redirect Email via From Field..
Hi Jake and all, Sorry to jump in the middle of a thread, but reading this sounds basically the same as what I am after. I want to forward a copy of all email aimed at a particular user. If I configure taps for [EMAIL PROTECTED]:[EMAIL PROTECTED], will that basically match only email aimed at [EMAIL PROTECTED], effectively matching the to address? Is there any catch or is it that straight forward? So my steps basically are as follows? 1 touch /var/qmail/control/taps 2 vi /var/qmail/control/taps 3 add [EMAIL PROTECTED]:other.. So is taps installed by default and all I need is to create the taps file, or is there a particular toaster package that needs to be installed?

Maildrop is called by simscan, so if clam was tying it up you would have to wait for that to finish before it would reload it's process. Three other questions... Firstly, there's a ton of material in /etc/mail/mailfilter is it safe to leave it and let it call the user-specific .mailfilter? Or should I strip it down? Secondly, how can I enable this globally for all users? Instead of creating a .qmail and .mailfilter file for each individual is there a global setting that will make all incoming mail from the address get redirected? Lastly, can I specify multiple copies of the redirection scripts in .qmail in order to redirect mail from multiple addresses? That's so much for the help. You've no idea how much I appreciate it. The /etc/mail/mailfilter script is for spam. If you read through it you'll see that it examines the score of messages, and if MATCH = 12 (I think that's the default) it will deliver to the user's Spam folder. It's up to you, depending on your situation, whether or not to loave it in. To turn it on for all users, you would need to recompile the qmailadmin package with the spambox option on (look in the wiki, it's well documented) and then turn the Spam detection on for each user and it would then use .mailfilter files if they exist for those users. Or you can write a script that puts the needed .qmail entry in each user's folder. And no, the .qmail file is only called when mail for that user is delivered. You may be able to modify the .qmail-default file to do what you want. And as a side note, you can forward mail while leaving a copy in the user's folder. You may also want to look at taps (check the wiki) which for almost exactly what you're trying to do (archive mail). - QmailToaster hosted by: VR Hosted http://www.vr.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - QmailToaster hosted by: VR Hosted http://www.vr.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: [qmailtoaster] [QmailToaster] Global mailbox for domain
Hi There, It sounds like you want a catchall account. Create the account that you want to use, eg [EMAIL PROTECTED], then you modify the .qmail-default file in the relevant domains folder /home/vpopmail/domains/domain.com and add the address you want to use. Comment out the first line, or replace bounce-no-mailbox with [EMAIL PROTECTED] or you can add ./glabal/Maildir/ below that commented line. It will deliver ALL mail aimed at that domain to this account. That's all you need to configure a catchall account. Of course you can use postmaster@ if you want, you don't have to create a new account. Hope that helps Craig _ From: Miki [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 17 May 2007 08:04 To: qmailtoaster-list@qmailtoaster.com Subject: [qmailtoaster] [QmailToaster] Global mailbox for domain Hi all, I want to know how could I configure one big global mailbox for specific domain that will be used for all domain's email addresses?

RE: [qmailtoaster] strange pop3 log content...
:-) Ah right, now that I look at that I understand, it is actually correct on the wiki. On the wiki it's not 10 but -l0 (as in L and not 1) :-) So you can just add the -l0 if you want or if it is working don't worry about it. Pretty sure it's mainly the -H that speeds up pop3 login. Although rebooting the server is not really necessary, qmailctl stop, then ps -ef|grep qmail and clear all qmail processes that don't complete works fine.

RE: [qmailtoaster] qtp-newmodel backing up /home/vpopmail/domains
On my box, with our standard tar backups, we also have a large amount of data, but I still wanted to preserve/backup the domains folder and it's associated structure. Because we are taring we can exclude the data and tar only the folders and in our case .qmail files. If you want to preserve the domains structure, then you could also add something as follows. tar cfj $SANDBOX/home/vpopmail/domains.tar /home/vpopmail/domains --exclude=*doc-net.com,* /dev/null 21 at --exclude=* replace doc-net.com, with whatever is relevant to your server, the actual file name of the mail files.

RE: [qmailtoaster] Messages from outside (Solved!)
HI Marcos, Good to hear, it was the one thing I wasn't too sure on, why you were using mailhost2.company.com and not company.com. glad it's all working now. From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 07 May 2007 08:09 To: qmailtoaster-list@qmailtoaster.com Subject: [qmailtoaster] Messages from outside (Solved!) Hello again, I think we found it. It seems to be a problem (not exactly because it works that way) in the way the DNS server handles the MX entries. I have the MX 10 mailhost.company.com and MX 20 mailhost2.company.com entries. In mailhost to create a domain you just do: vadddomain company.com passwd and if you send an email you reach it. Now if you run the same command for mailhost2 the result will be this annoying message Sorry, no maildir with that name here But way? Because we think the DNS understands the entry MX 20 mailhost2.company.com as a kind of subdomain of the existing MX 10 mailhost.company.com so when a mail reaches mailhost2 it tries to find in /home/vpopmail/domains/ the domain mailhost2.company.com and not just company.com as expected. To test this I did vadddomain mailhost2.company.com passwd and everything was fine then ! So I think we finally solved the problem here. when the new mailhost2 will be completely configured I will remove the first entry for mailhost and there will be no necessity to specify @mailhost2.company.com when you send emails, just as usually send them to @company.com.

Marcos I've not been watching this thread, and I just briefly glanced over it. So you've set up DNS correctly for mailhost2.company.com and mailhost2.company.net You logged into the CLI and created mailhost2.company.com, correct? Then log into qmailadmin (web page interface - let's keep the process as simple as possible to figure out the issue) and made sure you can log in as postmaster. While logged in as postmaster, create an email for testing. Now try sending an external email to that person. Does it go through? Do not create the alias domain yet, and do not modify any .qmail files. It can get REALLY confusing when you start using .qmail files since the current versions of Toaster do not use them. If you're not familiar with them, don't mess with them. Everything is handled in a mysql table now. Once we make sure it works to that point, we'll throw the next vegetable in the stew.

RE: [qmailtoaster] Messages from outside
Under /home/vpopmail/domains/company.com/ are there any .qmail files? (ls -a) I don't think QMT uses them anymore but I'm not sure, I still use them on my server. If there isn't try the following. vi /home/vpopmail/domains/company.com/.qmail-test Add the below line to it. ./test/Maildir/ I'm not sure if that will do anything for you as I believe this process may have been moved to Mysql or similar, but it's worth trying. The only time I've had the user not found error, is when the .qmail file is missing or not configured, but that is on my server where I still use the .qmail files. Afer you create the file, restart qmail (I don't think it's necessary but worth doing anyway) and try sending again. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 04 May 2007 07:52 To: qmailtoaster-list@qmailtoaster.com Subject: Re: [qmailtoaster] Messages from outside Hi, I'm sending all the required files to see if we can find the reason of the problem here: 1.The maildir actually exists for both test and test2 users. 2.The vuserinfo reports that both users exists and their maildir boxes are /home/vpopmail/domains/company.com/test /home/vpopmail/domains/company.com/test2 3.Both users exists on company_com table in vpopmail db with their correct passwords. 4.Contents of files involved: 4.1.rcpthosts company.com mailhost2.company.com mailhost2.company.net company.gr company.net 4.2.locals localhost mailhost2.company.com mailhost2.company.net 4.3.defaulthost company.com 4.4.defaultdomain company.com 4.5.virtualdomains company.com:company.com company.net:company.net 4.6.assign (you didn't ask for it but I send maybe it helps) +company.com-:company.com:89:89:/home/vpopmail/domains/company.com:-:: +company.net-:company.com:89:89:/home/vpopmail/domains/company.com:-:: Marcos--- On Thu 05/03, Warren (mailing lists) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: Warren (mailing lists) [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: qmailtoaster-list@qmailtoaster.com Date: Thu, 03 May 2007 12:08:56 -0400 Subject: Re: [qmailtoaster] Messages from outside What are the contents of:brrcpthostsbrlocalsbrmebrdefaulthostbrdefaultdomainbrvirtuald omainsbrin /var/qmail/control?brbr[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:br After reinstalling QMT I created again a virtual domain and an alias domain with vaddaliasdomain.

The users I created after that with vadduser are the ones that have problem in locating the maildir.

I did the standard install with the fdr60-install-script.sh script that I downloaded from www.qmailtoaster.com...

RE: [qmailtoaster] rcpthosts file
It's probably the client side with the problem. The ip's in the tcp.smtp file are the ip's outside the company that you want to allow to relay mail through your server. I'm assuming the problem is as follows. External Client A from outside has email configured to relay through your server, so in Outlook outgoing smtp server = your mail server. However client a's ip address is not in tcp.smtp and they are not using smtp server with authentication. I'm not entirely sure, but I think that's roughly the problem you are running into. do you get the same error when you email from say hotmail? What is the exact bounce message?

RE: [qmailtoaster] rcpthosts file
On my set up I never modified the assign file at all it was all done by qmail. It is possible that something in the assign file is incorrect, or file permissions/ownership have changed in which case it may be the cause of the problem, but it's hard to say. It sounds like it might be easier, to uninstall qmail and start from scratch. Get the one domain working fine first, then add the virtual or alias domains in one at a time testing each as you go along. Only modify files that you really need to and leave the rest up to qmail. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 02 May 2007 14:32 To: qmailtoaster-list@qmailtoaster.com Subject: RE: [qmailtoaster] rcpthosts file Benedict: I think if I remove the rcpthosts file the server will act as an open relay, right?

RE: [qmailtoaster] rcpthosts file
Basically, all I did on mine is what you have done. vadddomain -r domain.com (-r random password) That's all that you need to do, then vadduser -r [EMAIL PROTECTED] and send mail to that user. If it fails and causes problems at this point, then qmail installation may be corrupt or it has something to do with FC6, but only uninstalling QMT and then starting QMT over will help you with that. I can say on FC5 the above steps work fine. QMT takes care of the assign, rcpthosts, virtualdomain etc entries. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 02 May 2007 14:56 To: qmailtoaster-list@qmailtoaster.com Subject: RE: [qmailtoaster] rcpthosts file Ok, let's asume I delete the domains and start creating them again.

RE: [qmailtoaster] Slow connecting pop3 server
If it is a case of when you click send and receive on a mail client, it takes a long time before it checks it is probably the pop3 run file and not necessarily dns, although it may be dns related. The solution below solved slow pop3 login. I had this problem in the past and it had to do with the pop3 run file, in my case at least. Although it was some time ago. Check /var/qmail/supervise/pop3/run It possibly looks like this exec /usr/bin/softlimit -m 900 \ /usr/bin/tcpserver -v -R -c 200 0 110 \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup $HOSTNAME \ $PASSPROG /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 21 I changed the tcpserver line to /usr/bin/tcpserver -l0 -H -v -R -c 200 0 110 \ (I added the -l0 and -H) It had something to do with stopping local or remote host dns lookup, I can't remember the specifics, but it changed from 60 seconds plus for pop3 login to virtually straight away.

RE: [qmailtoaster] Slow connecting pop3 server
I take it you restarted qmail? In which case it will be dns related. I don't have the djbdns module installed on my QMT so I can't really say. Basically, find your domains zone file which is probably in /var/djbdns/tinydns/root/data. and add the key. I'm not sure that is a key issue though. What do your pop3 logs indicate? tail /var/log/qmail/pop3/current just after you do a send and receive, it may give more clues. Also in terms of your dns, can the server see the internet, ping hostnames etc etc? -Original Message- From: Ole J [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 26 April 2007 09:35 To: qmailtoaster-list@qmailtoaster.com Subject: Re: [qmailtoaster] Slow connecting pop3 server Thanks for the tip, but it hadnt any effect.

RE: [qmailtoaster] ClamAV problem
The only way I've been able to sort this is to whitelist the specific sending email address from clamav. So any mail the address that sends the zip file sends doesn't get scanned by clamav at all. This is an exteme fix, but in our case, the only mail that ever comes from that address is the one with the zip attachment that is part of an automated process. To do this, I added their address to the simcontrol file and set [EMAIL PROTECTED] clam=no,spam=no. It would help if we could block specific files though. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 17 April 2007 20:17 To: qmailtoaster-list@qmailtoaster.com Subject: Re: [qmailtoaster] ClamAV problem Hi.

RE: [qmailtoaster] Site to Site QT Server Replication - 24 hours
Hi Gabriel, you need to make sure that the port number you specify in the run file is the one you try and connect to. The one that is set in the qmail.prf file must match the /unison/unison -socket line in unison-run. On the primary confirm that the /root/.unison/qmail.prf file has the correct ip and socket. On the secondary, can you confirm the unison-run script matches what is on the wiki, or paste the contents here. Does the /unison/unison -socket line have the at the end? What happens on secondary if you manually run the above line. So at command type /unison/unison -socket and then enter on the blank line. If that runs, do ps -ef|grep unison and you should get a line similar to root 24608 1 0 12:28 pts/100:00:00 /unison/unison -socket Let me know what that does, the primary error will definately be down to the socket not running.

RE: [qmailtoaster] Problem in using Failover replication Setup
Hi Bill, I was reviewing my logs, and I get a few rsync errors, but it's normally file does not exist anymore. These can be ignored as the mail has been retrieved and removed from the primary server during or just before replication does the actual transfer. Since the file would be removed from the backup anyway, these can be ignored. In your previous errors, the MY.DOMAIN errors were due to No such file or directory My .spamassassin folder never replicates, it must have something to do with bayes, as with mine it's the bayes tokens that don't replicate across. For me this isn't a big deal so I ignore it. Copy your log file out for me, and then run qmail-replicate and then send me the log file, so I can see the whole event, and then track it. It would appear that some replication is taking place, so largely it is working, but I need to review the log to see exactly what it is doing. You can test it, by creating a dummy user, then after replication check the backup server to see if the dummy user was created and the details are correct. /home/vpopmail/bin/vuserinfo dummuser and see what happens. So I take it that now that the script was changed to f6 it runs without error now? Getting there slowly. :-) Craig From: Bill Kwok [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 27 November 2006 16:07 To: qmailtoaster-list@qmailtoaster.com Subject: Re: [qmailtoaster] Problem in using Failover replication Setup Hi Craig, I am still having problem. :( Pls see below for the result I got.

RE: [qmailtoaster] Problem in using Failover replication Setup
Hi Ben, If you vi qmail-replicatec and do :61 what do you get? It may just be something that copied from the site. In terms of setup, on the backup server you don't need to create anything, just have QMT installed and working. The replication script will replicate all folders, users, control files and mysql data to populate the backup folder. The fact that you are getting an error in the script means there is something wrong on line 61. On my line 61 there is an open line with nothing. I will copy the one from the wiki and run it to see what I get. As for the file, it fails during transfer which is why it is blank. Let me see what happens if I copy and paste directly from the wiki. Also I've just made a minor change to the qmail-replicatec file by adding a lock file process, as mine went a bit nuts last night. Also I've removed the qmail-replicateb from cron as this only really needs to be run if you switch to the backup. Sorry for the slow reply been mad busy.

RE: [qmailtoaster] slow pop3 logins
I was testing this again this morning, as it was some time ago that I did this, and it seems it's not just the -H it's a combination of the -l0 and -H. They do the following I believe. (based on tcpserver paramaters.) -H: Do not look up the remote host name in DNS; remove the environment variable $TCPREMOTEHOST. To avoid loops, you must use this option for servers on TCP port 53. l localname: Do not look up the local host name in DNS; use localname for the environment variable $TCPLOCALHOST. A common choice for localname is 0. To avoid loops, you must use this option for servers on TCP port 53.

The config files are straight forward and not very complicated. A skilled sysadmin like you is not the common (i really mean it, NO sarcasm). But simple things, and doing one thing at a time and do it well is the motto of UNIX, and it works. Who runs a nic with unattended updates enabled? That's just bad practice on a production system. And no roll back procedure? Even worse . . . If they use tinydns they wouldn't have any update to do. Say, rollback procedure?, yes, it taked 2 hours. Is a whole country DNS server with several replicates. And CERT Security Warning are FUD too? Is a technical mistake, not administrative. I disagree. Automatic updates on something as important as a nic is just bad management. Updates should be tested before deployed. Tested with how many domains? 2 , 3, ten thousand, one million?, how many replicates? You are disagreeing with CERT Advisories too? :-P Maybe nic.es is stupid (and it is) but if you put another stone in her way... BIND is to DNS what sendmail is to mail. Sendmail is very neat. It supports a lot of features that are quickly becoming mandatory. We're not there yet. We still don't have srs support, which is required for proper spf to work. I don't say that sendmail is not neat, i said is the same example. Is the reference implementation. Is unsecure (do you remember infamous Morris Internet Worm ), fat and very ugly to maintain (yep, it is and it was). Yes, the features that sendmail implements are great, they have a lot of people working on it. Maybe qmail community must do something with getting a more modulable and extensible qmail. Qmail is a good base. Why do you use Qmail? Because I like the architecture, the community, the flow. I do dislike that the license has become an impediment. Keeping features up to date without the ability to ship modified binaries has seriously limited the number of people willing to work on the system. Yep, If DJB were a lil' more pragmatic will let binary modifications and distributions and if he didn't like other people's code under his projects, simply don't permit endorsement of names Qmail, or Tinydns or djb and that trademarks. But this is the only problem I see. (is not a big one, since you are using qmail, doesn't you?) Exim and postfix are good projects to look at, too. The fact that QmailToaster is where it is today is really a testament to the patience of Bill Shupp Nick Hemmesch. Yep, I agree.

RE: [qmailtoaster] [Fwd: RE: [simscan] Thoughts on improving performance]
How much better than spamassassin is dspam? At this point I'm quite satisfied with my qmt with spamassassin as it is very effective for all our clients, but I'm always looking to improve on the system. If Dspam is an improvement it may be worth a concerted effort to get it working effectively on a qmt setup. Preferably on an already working qmt setup. I.E. The procedure needed to replace spamassassin with it. Hopefully something simple like working out the install procedure to integrate into qmail/vpop. Once that is sorted, on the working system rpm -e spamassassin, and then integrate dspam. Somehow though I doubt it would be that easy. Would it be possible to get simscan to call it? I think if those interested do some research (which I will do) we may be able to point the ones with more knowledge in the right direction. Biggest question though, is it really worth doing?

You can't mount it directly on an existing system as those partitions are already in use. Mount it under temp or mnt. mount /dev/hda1 /tmp where hda1 is the drive from the corrupt pc and /tmp is the folder to mount to.

RE: [qmailtoaster] MYSQL help
Hello all, Thanks Quinn, your method is essentially what I am currenlty doing, except I'm not using ssh, as the transfers all take place on the local lan and are not visible to the public, so security is not a problem. So the general consensus is that in terms of qmail the dump is the preferred method? Given that's what I know I don't mind. Thanks for the responses, Erik I will read through that link so at least I know what is involved. The backup server will only import the vpopmail database when data has changed using my current script, and it seems to work quite well. Are there any concerns running a dump on the primary server every few minutes? thanks again.

I might suggest just using mysqldump. The vpopmail table should not be updated that frequently (only when accounts are added/edited/deleted), is probably not too large (how many users?), and your second server is not live. So copying the vpopmail table every ten minutes or so should be fine. You can run a command to pull the data across from the second server over a ssh tunnel: ssh -C [EMAIL PROTECTED] mysqldump --databases -u USERNAME -pPASSWORD vpopmail | mysql -u -pPASSWORD; Quinn On Mon, 9 Oct 2006 15:33:41 +0100, Craig Smith wrote: How do I go about configuring mysql to specifically replicate the vpopmail database to my backup server so that the backup server always has an up to date copy of the mysql database?

[qmailtoaster] MYSQL help
Hi there, I'm currently working on a setup and scripts that will give our company a failover server that we can immediately switch to in the event of failure without clients ever knowing it was off. I am planning of putting this in the wiki if people are interested. As part of my solution I am using a mysqldump and import, but I've heard that mysql can replicate the database live. How do I go about configuring mysql to specifically replicate the vpopmail database to my backup server so that the backup server always has an up to date copy of the mysql database? I can manage without that, but I think it would be more efficient method. Either way though, with the procedure I'm finalising, should our server A go down server B will take over it's role with minimal amount of input. Or with the right script automatically. Server B will be up to date in terms of A up to the last minute before failure. This includes uncollected mail etc. Accounts only have to be created on the main server, the changes will replicate to the backup server every minute. (or x time frame as scheduled) So I guess this post is two fold, are people interested in a method for the above, or are there already loads of solutions out there, and how does one configure mysql for replication. Bearing in mind my SQL knowledge is nil. I've only just started getting to grips with scripting so that's a later project. :-) Thanks in advance.

Simscan controls this in toaster I believe. edit /var/qmail/control/simcontrol and adjust the attach=, remove mp3 from the list. Then run /var/qmail/bin/simscanmk and do qmailctl restart.

RE: [qmailtoaster] Setting up a mailing list
Check your /var/log/qmail/send/current and /var/log/qmail/smtp/current logs for any errors with delivery. As long as the server is visable as an MX host I don't think the lack of FQDN will affect it, but I can't say for certain on that. I had a similar problem, but it had to do with the server holding backup accounts, and of course delivering locally to itself.

RE: [qmailtoaster] Auto Delete Spams when detected.. How?
Hi there, To reduce the score required you edit the /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf file. Set the required_hits field to 2 or 3. As for deleting the mail, I'm reasonably sure that simcontrol will do that. edit the /var/qmail/control/simcontrol file. set the ,spam_hits=x to a number. However I wouldn't recommend setting it below 8 as you may end up loosing valid mail through false positives. Once you've edited the simcontrol file you need to run /var/qmail/bin/simscanmk and then do qmailctl restart. Some please correct me if that's incorrect, but that's my understanding.

[qmailtoaster] Recommendation for the backup and restore scripts
The backup and restore scripts are excellent, I've just spent the past 2 days testing them thoroughly for our systems and they work a charm. The only thing I came across eventually, was the lack of spamassassin backup/restore or the tcp.smtp file for access. Our local.cf for spamassassin contains a fair amount of edited items as well as 2 custom rulesets in the folder. The tcp.smtp contains several entries for various clients that are allowed to relay through us. I'm not sure how one goes about adding to the script that is available, or if even it would be handy for everyone, but I thought I would share the changes I made to ours, and to thank everyone involved in those scripts they certainly make life easier. . I refer to these scripts in case there are others floating around http://v2gnu.com/qmail/qmail-backup-2.7.sh.txt http://v2gnu.com/qmail/restore-1.2.sh.txt In the qmailbackup script I added the following: Addition filename variables SPAMASSASSIN=$DATENAME-spam.tar.gz TCPSMTP=$DATENAME-tcp.tar.gz Added extra backup lines #echo Backing up Spamassassin config files tar cfj $backupdest/$SPAMASSASSIN /etc/mail/spamassassin /dev/null 21 #echo Backing up tcp.smtp config files tar cfj $backupdest/$TCPSMTP /etc/tcprules.d/tcp.smtp /dev/null 21 Added variables for removal. rm -rf $SPAMASSASSIN rm -rf $TCPSMTP In the Qmailrestore file I added the following: echo echo Uncompressing and replacing Spamassassin Configuration tar xjf *-spam.tar.gz cd etc/mail cp -rfp spamassassin /etc/mail/ cd /home/craig/qmail.restore echo Uncompressing and replacing tcp.smtp configuration tar xjf *-tcp.tar.gz cd etc/tcprules.d cp -rfp tcp.smtp /etc/tcprules.d/ cd /home/craig/qmail.restore Obviously the file path's above are based on my system, and would need to be updated, or possibly changed to a user variable under the mysql password option, but I'm not at all versed in scripting, and all I've done is copy existing commands and modified the paths. The backup.restore scripts as I now have them, allow me to quickly recover my full QMT server to another box, including any custom rules, the local.cf file as well as my tcp.smtp entries. As I said I'm not sure if everyone would need this, but I would imagine some would as a few may have many custom entries in tcp.smtp and spamassassin, and if you are rebuilding a complete failure at least you won't have to add to it. My apologies if this shouldn't have been mailed to this list, but I wasn't sure how to go about mentioning the possible changes.

What you need is the ip numbers of the outside members, wherever they are sending from, and they need to be added to the tcp.smtp file as below. This file controls access to relaying through your server. If the ip address in no listed then relaying is not allowed. It works internally as no relaying takes place, it is an internal delivery. By adding the ip no of corporate outside, you grant them access to relay. I got these errors quite a lot when I first configured our box, we have several external clients that relay through our server, adding their public ip's (which you can see in the log file) in the tcp.smtp file using the given format sorted the problems for us. -Original Message- From: Bilgehan POYRAZ [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 22 September 2006 13:04 To: qmailtoaster-list@qmailtoaster.com Subject: RE: [qmailtoaster] URGENT !!!

If so then you need to add their sending ip to your /etc/tcprules.d/tcp.smtp file .

Once you add that with the ip they are trying to relay from, do qmailctl cdb and then qmailctl restart. Or you can do qmailctl stop wait a few seconds and then do qmailctl start. I normally do this.

RE: [qmailtoaster] Mail flood question
So if mail is coming from a qmail server, is there no control in place to limit the amount of incoming mail? E.G. A qmail server is used to mail 20 000 to a specific domain on one of our servers and it sends all at once, there's nothing to stop those mails coming in and slowing everything down? This isn't a huge problem for us, but I could see a dos type of attack going on? What's to stop some muppet out there deciding he doesn't like domain x, so he scripts a mail server to constantly sent small emails to xdomain which happens to be on our server. Since our server deals with email for that domain, it is allowed in. The only thing I can think of is to catch the sending ip via the logs and blacklist it? Is there anything else that can be done? thanks for the info. -Original Message- From: Eric Shubes [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 22 September 2006 14:18 To: qmailtoaster-list@qmailtoaster.com Subject: Re: [qmailtoaster] Mail flood question Jake Vickers wrote: Craig Smith wrote: Great thanks George.

That is correct. specific time period being a single smtp session. These parameters will never kick in for mail coming from a qmail server, because qmail sends each message individually (using more bandwith than necessary). However, some mail servers group all recipients at the same host (receiving server) together in the same session, so the message only gets sent once to each receiving host (domain, essentially). These settings control that type of situation. -- -Eric 'shubes' - QmailToaster hosted by: VR Hosted http://www.vr.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - QmailToaster hosted by: VR Hosted http://www.vr.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: [qmailtoaster] 3rd party spamassassin scanning service
That's excellent thanks. Are there any pitfalls potential loops etc I should be aware of. I guess if company x sets up a catch all account it will prevent the double bounce.

You can scan other domains frm your box. The mx points to you. You put an smtproute that points to their server and you add the domain to rcpthosts. The problem is going to be double bounces. Since your box doesn't have a list of valid users, it will accept any mail addressed to companyx..com.

RE: [qmailtoaster] 3rd party spamassassin scanning service
Hello again, Sorry to be a pain, but I've run across a problem and I'm not sure there is a solution. One of my test domains has smtp authentication turned on, so when I configured the routing as we discussed, it works until it hits their mail server. It then rejects the mail with the follwing error. If I can send smtp authentication along with it that would solve the problem, but I can't see how to do that. Is it possible or are we stuck if a domains mail server has smtp authentication on. Is there any way around the error as below? Returned mail error: Hi. This is the qmail-send program at (Relaying SA server). I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses. This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out. [EMAIL PROTECTED]: User and password not set, continuing without authentication. xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx does not like recipient. Remote host said: 550-(Relaying SA server) [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]:52470 is currently not permitted to 550-relay through this server. Perhaps you have not logged into the pop/imap 550-server in the last 30 minutes or do not have SMTP Authentication turned on 550 in your email client. Giving up on xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Thanks Again.

[qmailtoaster] Spamassassin Issue with Headers
Hello all, Our spam system which is qmailtoaster based, running on FC5 is working really well. However we have just added a new domain to it, and one of the users is getting a large amount of untagged spam. At least for our system it is a large amount. Roughly 10 to 15% of the spam is coming through untagged. I asked him to forward me some of them for review so I could check the headers and see what the system was doing. First strange thing was that mailing directly to me, detected them as spam correctly. When I check the headers of the forwarded (as attachments) mail, they are incorrect. Below is on of the mails headers, it seems to be text from the body of the mail. Most of the missed ones are like this.

RE: [qmailtoaster] SpamAssassin and ClamAV dont work.
I had a similar problem when I first set mine up, and it had to do with my tcp.smtp file not correctly having QMAILQUEUE=/var/qmail/bin/simscan The way I understand it is that simscan passes the mail through spamassassin and clamav. Check your tcp.smtp file for the relevant queue settings. Or possibly simscan is not working properly.

RE: [qmailtoaster] Problem with .qmail files
Well, the install was done with the qmailtoaster script files for fc5. Configuration appears to be the same as our other servers. the locals file only has localhost and the actual hostname in it. For the life of me I couldn't find any reason for the need for .qmail for each user. The defaultdelivery file is correct as far as I can see. ./Maildir/ The .qmail files are ./username/Maildir/, the only thing I could think of was that the default delivery wasn't interpreting the usernames correctly, but no idea why that would be. So it is wrong that I need to create the .qmail file for each user? It's not maybe a problem with simscan? To get around the annoyance of having to manually create the files, one of our software guys created a wrapper for me, that creates the file on user creation automatically, but it would be nice to have a system that works as it should.
