[qmailtoaster] Control use of forward?
Our school has several division level forwards set up, so if you want to send a piece of mail to everyone in the upper school you send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] We would like for these forwards to only work for people with accounts on the server. I know I could set up a mailing list for everyone and then restrict who can post to that mailing list to only it's members, but this seems a bit complex and hard to manage as it would have to be changed everytime a new person comes and goes. Any suggestions? James -- James F.

Re: [qmailtoaster] Control use of forward?
Removing the user does not remove them from mailing lists or forwards. Nor does adding them add them to the global address list in Squirrelmail. I have written command line scripts that do all of this with a single adduser command. The problem is I can't do that with a mailing list. I suppose it's not that big a deal, but I thought there would be a universal way to set it and not have to deal with it for every user.

The mailing list. It's not that bad when a user is added or deleted. When you add a user, it will have a box at the bottom of the account creation screen that you can check what mailing lists you want the person on. I've never checked to see if deleting a user removes them from the list, but if the message bounces I believe they're removed anyway. -- James F.

[qmailtoaster] Help interpreting a qmail log.
A teacher at our school just came to me and said a student claimed to have sent her an e-mail that she did not receive. I did a search of the smtp log and found these entries: @400045f187171dd611b4 CHKUSER accepted sender: from :: remote mail1.ccds.charlotte.nc.us:unknown:10.64.6.9 rcpt : sender accepted @400045f187171e46b5a4 CHKUSER accepted rcpt: from xxx:: remote mail1.ccds.charlotte.nc.us:unknown:10.64.6.9 rcpt [EMAIL PROTECTED] : found existing recipient (The and are the student and teacher's email addresses respectively). I have two questions: 1: How do I turn this information into a *TIME* of attempted delivery. 2: The teacher says she never got the mail, how do I figure out what happened to it? Oddly enough, we were running an older version of the toaster, and we updated it to the current version that very evening (About 6:00 pm) but that was *AFTER* this took place. I only mention this as I had heard that the older version of the toaster we were running had much poorer logging than the new one, and is the main reason we updated. Thanks for any help.

[qmailtoaster] Batch install of forwards
I have a question regarding forwards. We currently have two e-mail systems in place (one legacy, that is going away and our new toaster), when the legacy system goes away, it would be advantageous to re-create its domain on the toaster and forward all mail going to the old accounts to the new accounts. The new accounts are not just the same old name at a new domain, but completely different. To make this work, I would have to create a forward for every old account on the old system to it's equiv. account on the new. Is there a way to script this so I don't have to manually put in 300+ forwards? Thanks, James -- James F.

Re: [qmailtoaster] Batch install of forwards
I already have all that, I'm just not sure what to have the script *DO*. I didn't seem to find a command line to create a forward, and am a bit loathe to mess with the files directly.

With some scripting you could dump the old email addresses as a text file, create the old domain on the Toaster, and run your text file through a script to create the forwards for you. It'd be difficult, since the new email addresses are not similar to the old, but I guess you could create the text file like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] and have the script run that way. -- James F.

[qmailtoaster] Using qmail tap
I have been told by our administrative staff that they want me to start saving all e-mails sent / received for a period of time (the duration to keep this data is still up in the air). I know that tap can forward any / all e-mail to *ANOTHER* email address in another domain, and I could setup a second domain on the toaster to handle receiption of this mail, but it seems inefficient. Is there a way to simply have tap store all this mail to a local text file? I could then have cron job that works like a log package that creates a new file every day and then can regularly backup those files to offline storage. Any thoughts on how to do this?

As I said before, we have a mailing list for every division, we have accounts like: uschool lschool mschool first second third etc. I have noticed that if you send an email to any of these divisions, it works fine, but sometimes (most of the time in fact) if you send an email to several of these divisions, the first one will deliver, and the subseqent ones come back with a header like... *** BEGIN EXAMPLE *** Hi.

[qmailtoaster] Consolodating emails on multiple lists
Greetings all, I have just (with the aid of the fine people on this list) moved our school over to a qmail toaster. So far, everything is working well, with two exceptions. The first problem concerns multiple e-mails. On the old system, (exim on a VERY old suse linux box) we kept a few alias files by division (like upper school, lower school, third grade, etc) If someone sent out an e-mail to multiple divisions, and a person was in more than one division, they only got a single e-mail. Now however, they get an e-mail for every division in which they belong. We created the division mails as mailing lists. IN hindsight this may not have been wise and I probably should have created them as forwards. TO fix this is there a way to either: A) tell the mailing list manager to make sure that each person only gets one e-mail. (I'm guessing this is not possible, or highly difficult) or B) let me create a forward that is an exact copy of the current mailing list unnder a temporary name (call it fred) and then, when I feel it is right and ready to go, quickly delete the mailing list and re-name fred to the same name as the mailing list so there is little or no downtime apparent to users. or C) something else that I'm completely missing... Any ideas? James -- James F.
