Qmailtoaster is a great MTA... and groupware software is a plus 2011/3/17 Martin Waschbuesch mar...@waschbuesch.de mailto:mar...@waschbuesch.de Hi guys, I have successfully installed sogo on my toaster, but there are some issues I still need to work on: - Auth-backend is ldap and I failed terribly at any attempt to have more than one mail domain reflected in the ldap tree - i had to manually set up the ldap tree to reflect that one domain Luckily, it still solves my immediate problem as I had a requirement to offer CalDAV CardDAV support. Works like a charm! I don't even know what language(s) sogo's written in. I'm guessing the authentication part (at least) is c/c++, but it could be something else. Would someone like to find out? Should not be to difficult to do this, even a view might do the trick.. Sogo is written in Objective-C btw.. Will do some tests soon.. JP My thought (after my earlier post), was to rig up a view in MySQL with appropriate field names, so as not to mess around with sogo code. Should be doable in a single domain situation. Will run tests after I get sogo set up, and post results. Bharath I had a doubt that Sogo may not support md5crypt, which is how the passwords are stored in the vpopmail database. It looks like that is the case. See this link: http://mail.opengroupware.org/pipermail/sogo/2010-February/005083.html I haven't found any later references that say that sogo supports md5crypt, so it looks like the sogo code WILL have to be patched for authentication against the vpopmail mysql database. Please note that the patch in the link may be against an earlier release. Bharath Does sogo support plain login with TLS/SSL? If so, that should work. While patching sogo is probably more attractive than patching vpopmail, perhaps we should make a request to have vpopmail support whatever it is that sogo is using. (I'm guessing digest-md5). An _ugly_ workaround would be to use stunnel. Doesn't make too much sense on localhost though, does it? So, cleartext from a trusted (localhost) connection may be the simplest way to achieve this. Initial thoughts only, so don't hold it against me :) Bharath - I don't have a problem using plain login w/ TLS. In fact, I would use TLS with localhost as well (just so I know it works because I'd likely move it to a separate host at some point). As long as TLS (or SSL, but I prefer TLS) is used, plain logins are ok, as passwords are not sent in clear text over the wire this way. The only problem I see with plain logins is that passwords are stored in clear text. I don't necessarily recommend this, and it can be a problem in some situations. Changing this policy though is a bigger change, and should be addressed on its own. Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing QMT move in this direction (eliminating the storing of passwords in clear text). We need to be sure though that in so doing that all of the other bases (encrypted password types) are covered. -- -Eric 'shubes' - Qmailtoaster is sponsored by Vickers Consulting Group (www.vickersconsulting.com) Vickers Consulting Group offers Qmailtoaster support and installations.

Re: [qmailtoaster] Re: POP3 Authentication on CentOS 5.5 64Bit
Hi Kevin, removing softlimit is not a good idea as it is one of the security features around qmail. Please rather try setting the softlimit higher than before in order to find the limit you need to run stuff. The limit you have looks too low to me. Just compiling the source package with '--with fedora_1164 ' on its own is not the recommended way, I guess. What you need is the download and install scripts in their x64 version. As far as I recall, the x86_64 version sets a higher softlimit by default. I am unsure if there are other differences (e.g. in the code for instance), but that may well be. At any rate, if it works without softlimit, it will also work with a sufficiently high softlimit, which I recommend.

Re: [qmailtoaster] Re: Disable CHKUSER
Hi all, I wonder about this one... First of all, I agree with Jake that MX verification is rather important. However, the problem at hand is also a nuisance: Why should one bad address out of 15 in the list cause all mails to not be delivered? I guess the solution here would rather be looking at some way to solve that issue and leave the rest as it is, meaning that all good addresses on a list should be properly sent the mail and all addresses that fail MX check should not go out. At any rate, disabling a complete check because the check does not do what it should is a poor solution. Rather fix the real issue... So, can someone isolate where that problem has its root and then we could figure out how to address the underlying issue? My guess would be someone would have to either look at the code for checkuser or take it up with the vpopmail mailing list? I'd be happy to attempt looking into this...

Re: [qmailtoaster] iptables firewall issue
Hi Helmut, I wonder if it has something to do with the way that CentOS was installed: The ISO starts out with the firewall being disabled and in addition to the configuration options that the firewall.sh script adds, I am not sure what method is used to enable the service to run at startup (though it is as easy as using ‘service iptables start’ to start it once and using ‘chkconfig iptables on’ to enable it to run on startup). My iptables config had been installed during initial setup and though that is just a hunch, I believe that there may be a difference between having the system installed with the firewall enabled and enabling it afterwards (though that should not be the case?). Also, the latest ISO is not using the latest CentOS – did you do any yum update stuff to bring it up to date? If so, did you have those problems before and after or just after the update? I am sure we’ll get to the bottom of this eventually. I never used the ISO and I never had firewall trouble (other than when I configured it the wrong way myself). Steve, did you use the ISO or install using the wiki instructions? I am sort of hoping you used the ISO so that we might have something to focus our research on!

Re: [qmailtoaster] Re: vpopmail field problem
Several packages depend on vpopmail and recompiling it may require you to recompile the other packages, too? E.g. qmailadmin - don't know about others. Also, I do not know how vqadmin and qcontrol work. If they use the shell commands vpopmail contains then all should be well, but if they access the database directly, they might depend on the structure of that database. Don't know if that helps, but it might be a starting point for debugging.

Re: [qmailtoaster] Can't connect port 465 587
Kevin, I think Jake did not say you needed to add memory, merely to give the smtp processes more memory by raising the softlimit for them. These processes use a softlimit partly as a security precaution. In /var/qmail/supervie/smtp/run check what you have at the bottom. My file looks thus: exec /usr/bin/softlimit -m 6400 \ /usr/bin/tcpserver -v -R -h -l $HOSTNAME -x $TCP_CDB -c $MAXSMTPD \ -u $QMAILDUID -g $NOFILESGID 0 smtp \ $RBLSMTPD $BLACKLIST $SMTPD $VCHKPW /bin/true 21 The value after the -m in the first line of this block describes the softlimit in bytes meaning that the qmail-smtp process has a soft memory limit of a bit more than 60M. Perhaps you need to increase this. Same is true for the submission port. E.g. might be in /var/qmail/supervise/submission/run. hope that helps to clarify!

Re: [qmailtoaster] How to add the Certificate for mutil-domain
I recommend looking at Alin Nastac's patch found here: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94257. It will allow the use of an environment variable to determine the certificate to use. Note that this is not part of the stock toaster and would require recompiling qmail. I have no idea if this works in conjunction with the other patches already in use in QMT.

[qmailtoaster] Inconsistency qmailadmin /vqadmin / qcontrol
Hi all, I noticed a glitch that I wanted to let you guys know about: The different tools you can use to create / edit mailboxes do not have identical behavior when it comes to passwords. Imagine a user with the password (without quotes) '12345' Here are the results for the individual tools (adding the user and then looking at the result in the database - again ignore the quotes): vadduser: '12345' qcontrol: '12345' vqadmin '12345' qmailadmin: '12345' Of course doing this with vadduser, you need to enclose the password with single quotes. But as you can see: qmailadmin and the command line tools work, vqadmin and qcontrol show the glitch (probably could be solved by adapting how the input string is handled/escaped). It may just be a minor nuisance, but I think perhaps this should be the same behavior for all front ends.

[qmailtoaster] rpmforge / Centos 5.5
Hi all, I don't know if anyone else has experienced this, but when you use rpmforge (which I rely on for a lot of perl php modules) and update mrtg using the rpmforge package, the qmailmrtg-toaster stuff does not seem to work anymore. Instead, the scripts that generate the graphs complained about a missing module. Now, I reverted to the previous (official centos) version and explicitly skip this package, but perhaps someone else has encountered it and knows why it happens and can be fixed?

Re: [qmailtoaster] Re: help with some spam
I was able to get rid of that sort of spam by signing all outgoing mail with Domainkeys and setting the policy record for Domainkeys to signify: This server signs ALL outgoing mail. Incoming policy can be adjusted to reject mail where there is no signature in such a case. Martin Am 13.07.2010 um 04:57 schrieb David Milholen: On 7/12/2010 8:28 PM, Eric Shubert wrote: If all of your submissions come from authenticated connections (which they should), you can blacklist your own domain. I know this sounds counter-intuitive, but since all of your domains authenticate, the only rejections will be those who claim to come from your domain but fail to authenticate, since authenticated connections pass all filters. It works well to block all spam that forges your domain in the sender's address. There may be a small problem with this but should not be a major issue.. Most not all of my customers have their mail client authentication required box unchecked if they are INSIDE my network but if they are outside of my network they must have this checked. For example I own 208.44.160.xxx/24, 63.147.8.0/23,65.44.158.0/23,63.144.48.0/24 networks and they are all on my wireless topology. If my customers are home on these networks then the only path out is thru my data center which has the main dns and mx services. If they are not home say on vacation then they must set this box for authentication. 2 yrs ago we started this by default to set them. So there may be a few still out there with this not checked. I am not scared to list my nets because I do welcome an attack from outside. I do love my iptables and the unix scripting in image stream :) Note, if you use squirrelmail, you should modify your SM configuration to authenticate smtp submissions, and probably use port 587 as well (instead of the default port 25). The stock squirrelmail configuration does not authenticate by default. Already configured this and works great:) In case all of your submissions aren't authenticated (perhaps you have a web app that doesn't authenticate), the new version of spamdyke (v4.1.0, just released a week or so ago) contains a new option that will reject emails where the sender and recipient address is the same. This is often the case with such spam, and is the next best thing to blacklisting your own domain. FWIW, when you use qtp-install-spamdyke to upgrade to the latest spamdyke version, it will now also install qtp-prune-graylist so your graylist stays pruned optimally. You should be sure to have the latest qmailtoaster-plus package installed before upgrading spamdyke: # yum update qmailtoaster-plus # qtp-install-spamdyke You can also use badmailto for restricting some of these spam messages that contain numbers. See http://wiki.qmailtoaster.com/index.php/Account_verification_using_badmailto but I expect this would not be necessary if you're blacklisting your domain(s).

Re: [qmailtoaster] Re: spam email routing query
I never have such problems with e.g. horde or Mail on Mac OS X. Could that be IMAP client-related as well? But then I am investigating how to replace my manual operations with dovecot's deliver. I don't want to end up having such problems as well. Martin Am 08.07.2010 um 18:58 schrieb Andreas Galatis: After having deleted some Mails and the user accesses the concerned folder via squirrelmail he gets a failure notice saying the imap-connection was interrupted. In the logs I see the error message saying time went back, therefore dovecot was stopped. The error message is false, time is not manipulated, I run ntpd on all servers. So I tried stopping the deleteoldmails script and have no more problems with the folders, neither with time going back. Since I use dovecot, my client can easily show all messages in the Folder and delete the oldest himself, through squirrelmail. With courier it was too slow to see large amount of Mails. Andreas Yes, it can be problematic. At the same time though, dovecot is very robust, and is capable of recovering from inconsistencies such as this automatically (all by itself). I would expect performance hits when dovecot needs to rebuild indexes and such, but I would not expect a failure of any kind. If it fails, I'd consider it a bug (and I expect Timo the author would as well). If you run into problems however, I think Andreas's remedy of deleting the dovecot-files should indeed clear things up. I'd try to check first though to be sure that dovecot isn't in the middle of rebuilding things already. Not sure how I'd do that off hand (ps?/lsof?). -- -Eric 'shubes' Martin Waschbuesch wrote: Interesting, I have a script that does just that (move files about in the maildir) and it has not lead to problems yet.

From what I read in the deliver documentation, it cannot (unlike maildrop) take an email from standard input or a file? At least that is how I read the documentation.

Re: [qmailtoaster] sending out newsletters using qmailtoaster
Am 06.07.2010 um 22:55 schrieb Tonix (Antonio Nati): Also note that, if you send one mail to 50 recipients, this will result in 50 individual items in the queue. As long as but one of these items is still unsent, qmailctl queue will list all 50 items as still being in the queue but will indicate with each item if said item has been sent. Once all items belonging to the message have been sent, they'll all no longer be shown in the queue. Is that the behavior you see when saying some messages need a long time to send? If I send to 50 recipients on the same remote domain, I will have 50 connections opened to the same remote server... So, if remote server has limit on new connections, some deliveries will abort and retry nextly. Very true. You could use your number of concurrent connections more effectively when each was used to transmit more than one message. But of course this (if anyone actually were to rewrite the way qmail's queuing works) would only be a relief and eliminate the problem: Depending on the allowed chunk size (messages per session allowed for a given target domain) and the number of messages sent to that domain, you might still end up being 'tarpit'ed. But I guess the whole discussion is a moot point in so far as there is (afaik) no such patch for qmail in existence.

Re: [qmailtoaster] Re: Qmail with LDAP
Oh, I understand, but 5.4.x has some (albeit limited I understand) LDAP support and 5.4.30 seems to have some things backported from 5.5.0 to allow for *some* more interoperability.

Re: [qmailtoaster] sending out newsletters using qmailtoaster
Am 06.07.2010 um 18:34 schrieb Tonix (Antonio Nati): I agree with you, but I find this qmail limit not acceptable. Even speaking about 600 e-mails to the same domain we have problems, as qmail is going to open 600 connections and the most of big ISP close connections after they got the first 100 in a few seconds. When this limit will be eliminated, we can speak about further limits. Tonino You already can influence the number of outgoing connections: /var/qmail/control/concurrencyremote contains the number of concurrent connections open at any time - that is a good value. Correct me if I am wrong, but I do not see how QMT could benefit from patching qmail in such a way as to make this more configurable as it already is (e.g. allow for per destination domain type configuration, etc.). You know, perhaps the question is this: what is QMT designed to do? It's a full-fledged mail server suite designed and optimized to provide an alternative to stuff like Exchange, etc. allowing for virtual domain and virtual mailbox management so a multitude of users can read, write exchange e-mail., using qmail as its MTA. Neither qmail nor QMT have been designed to provide email marketing functionality. They *may* be used to that end, but probably (like the stuff I listed earlier) with exceptions. On the other hand, if you ended up installing a system that was designed and optimized to do email-marketing, I should not at all be surprised that while it *could* be used to provide the Exchange type services mentioned above, it probably would have some drawbacks.

Re: [qmailtoaster] sending out newsletters using qmailtoaster
Am 06.07.2010 um 19:12 schrieb Tonix (Antonio Nati): This is the global value, so keeping it low means to have a few global connections working. It would be great if connections could be reused, so only a minimum of connections should be opened for each destination IP. It would be great to have such options: concurrency remote: as now new connection threshold [global]: if you have more than xx messages in queue for single destination IP, open a new connection max connections limit [global]: per single destination IP max connection limit new connection threshold [IP]: if you have more than xx messages in queue for a specific destination IP, open a new connection max connections limit [IP]: per specific destination IP max connections limit So, for example, you could put: for gmail: threshold 300, limit 20 for yahoo: threshold 500, limit 10 for myspecific: threshold 0 (infinite), limit 1 for any: threshold 100, limit 5 maxconcurrencyremote: 100 Bear with me for a second here: Admittedly, using one connection for multiple transmissions might be more efficient. However, that is only true if you actually have at least n 1 mails to send to the same domain at a given time. Unless you do emarketing (or have a huge mailing list) you do not know beforehand that this is actually the case. On the contrary, such a situation would be more or less random. This basically means that every time qmail processes an item in its queue, it would need to do something like this: - scan the queue for other emails to the same domain - gather as many as the config says for that domain - open a SMTP connection - transmit the messages. - dequeue the messages The problem is this: For every time you only have one email to a specific domain in the queue, you add overhead instead of reducing it. The queue might be really full and still no other mail in it that needs to be delivered to the same domain. Thus, this makes only sense if you know beforehand that there is a high amount of concurrency to a specific domain. On the other hand: - transmitting one mail per connection is safe. - limits for messages / connection might be subject to change without notice and everyone using such a config would then have lots of bounces, etc. until someone figures out what the ISP in question changed. I'm just focused on efficient e-mail server, simply. So am I. :-) Martin
Re: [qmailtoaster] sending out newsletters using qmailtoaster
My users are used to have a message delivered in a few seconds, despite of destination. If you really mean 'delivered' in the sentence above, then I am afraid your users have, sort of, incorrect expectations. All anyone may reasonably expect is that the mail server processes and attempts to send mail as quickly as possible. It's not like anyone can control the availability of other people's mail servers. And you have to admit that, from what you describe, your qmail toaster does process things quickly and delays are due to receiving MTAs? But when a ligh mailing list, or a message with 20 or 50 recipients, contains a nice number of recipients for the same domain, delivery of some messages takes dozens of minutes, because destination MX delay my servers. With the change I ask, I'd have the same quality of service for small traffic. For large deliveries, I'm thinking to a patch for changing qmail queue (sending to a low priority mail queue), so I will not care of large mailing lists or messages with hundreds of recipients. If delivery of some messages takes dozens of minutes, the connection to that host itself seems slow? Reducing the number of SMTP-connections surely would save some bandwidth, but the bulk of the bandwidth should still be the message content itself, so I would expect it to still be slow. Are you sure the destination is not e.g. a tarpit or something? There might be other reasons for the delays you see... Also note that, if you send one mail to 50 recipients, this will result in 50 individual items in the queue. As long as but one of these items is still unsent, qmailctl queue will list all 50 items as still being in the queue but will indicate with each item if said item has been sent. Once all items belonging to the message have been sent, they'll all no longer be shown in the queue. Is that the behavior you see when saying some messages need a long time to send?

Re: [qmailtoaster] Spamdyke Graylist Delay
Hi there, This is very normal behaviour. Graylisting not only depends on your server's timing settings, but on the behavior of the sending MTA. If that MTA does not retry within a given time (that is what you can configure) the mail will not be delivered, but regarded as spam. However, the time the sending server waits before resending is not something you can configure. That means that as long as the sending server's reply in a timeframe defined by your graylist-min-secs and graylist-max-secs, the mail will be delivered with exactly the retr delay that the sending server's admin had configured. Makes sense? Martin Am 01.07.2010 um 16:22 schrieb Thiago - TI - Realeza: Hello all I have some “trouble” here.

Re: RES: [qmailtoaster] Spamdyke Graylist Delay
On a server I use it on, I have left the default settings intact. The timing settings you posted look like the default to me, so, I think all is in order. You just have to be aware that graylisting causes delays. Note: If you look at the graylist-max-secs=2678400, that means 44640 minutes or 744 hours or 31 days. You can be pretty sure that any normal mail server would have retried well before that time runs out.

Graylisting not only depends on your server's timing settings, but on the behavior of the sending MTA. If that MTA does not retry within a given time (that is what you can configure) the mail will not be delivered, but regarded as spam. However, the time the sending server waits before resending is not something you can configure. That means that as long as the sending server's reply in a timeframe defined by your graylist-min-secs and graylist-max-secs, the mail will be delivered with exactly the retr delay that the sending server's admin had configured. Makes sense? Martin Am 01.07.2010 um 16:22 schrieb Thiago - TI - Realeza: Hello all I have some “trouble” here.

Re: [qmailtoaster] Re: spamassassin
Thanks for the explanation Eric Michael, I would like to use SpamDyke, but only very ver conservatively. E.g. if I could block people that I block now (cbl.abuseat.org) during SMTP, that would be great. The other features like greylisting etc., I would not like to use. My own policy (as long as my mail server has the bandwidth to handle it) is to let anything in that *might* be legit. I know that people with wrong DNS setup should not send out mail into the world like that, but I prefer this to just add to their spam score in spamassassin instead of blocking people who just don't know better. (They need educating, not blocking) and it IS hard to explain false positives to endusers... As I explained in a different post, my setup does not throw stuff away, but puts spam into a 'dubious looking' folder and users have to decide what to do with it - which is what they got for complaining about said false positives too often ;-) Anyway, Is it possible to use SpamDyke for just that? a very conservative DNSBL like abuseat and nothing else??

There seems to be new directives from ver. 0.96 - all are at the end of the conf file (statistics, google browsing etc) but they are all disabled and has nothing to do with the logtime directive, but maybe the logtime change has sneaked in when adding these new features. I think that everyone that installs from scratch and all that uses qtp-update gets the faulty logtime setting (I think qtp-update overwrites the current freshclam.conf when put into production). No, qtp-newmodel (not qtp-update) follows whatever rules are in the spec file for configs. Only if You 'manually' rpm updates You 'only' get the faulty setting in the freshclam.conf.rpmnew file - this ofcourse only if the logtime setting was disabled in the freshclam.conf file You are updating. That's because the freshclam.conf file is now coded as 'noreplace' in the spec file, which is correct (imho). I don't believe this was always the case, as I have 2 freshclam.conf.rpmsave files (dated Jan and Apr this year), which indicate that 'noreplace' was added fairly recently. BTW, both rpmsave files have LogTime commented out. So here's what I think. 0.96.0 introduced LogTime Yes, and did not have noreplace in the spec file, so anyone upgrading/installing 0.96.0 got the new setting. Then 0.96.1 came out, again with LogTime Yes, but the config was changed to noreplace. So anyone upgrading from a version previous to 0.96.0 to version 0.96.1 is ok, but anyone who had 0.96.0 installed in any way (new or upgraded) has LogTime Yes. But why, may we ask, is the logtime directive in there at all ? It is not documented anywhere as being a valid setting in the freshclam.conf file ! It's documented in the config file. ;) Sometimes the man pages aren't kept up to date, or things get missed in the documentation, especially on a .0 release. IMHO, a log file w/out time stamps on every line are deficient. I really like the option. However, the time format should be consistent with the syslog format (which it is not). I believe the best remedy for this problem is to fix logwatch to deal appropriately with the timestamp in the log. The fix I referred to yesterday does appear to work fine. The fix isn't very robust though, as the format of the timestamp is not flexible at all. That's a fault in logwatch though, not clamav.

Re: [qmailtoaster] Re: freshclam logwatch
Eric, I know how mine came to be in that state now. Before I reinstalled my server with x86_64, it had also run 0.96.1 (I upgraded to that version of clamav when it came out). Now, upgrading will only create a freshclam.conf_rpmnew file instead of overwriting the old one. I still had the backup of the old server and said freshclam.conf_rpmnew file DID contain the LogTime yes directive. Now with the new installation, of course that directive was also used as it was the first time the 0.96.1 version of the clamav package was installed. Can anyone confirm that is what happened to them too? It may be that a fresh install (or --force option to replace files) will cause it and a simple update won't. Martin Am 18.06.2010 um 17:40 schrieb Eric Shubert: I see from the /usr/share/logwatch/scripts/services/clam-update script that the date on the 'started' line is used, so it doesn't need the other dates. Bad assumption on my part. I'm getting the same problem as Martin had on only one of several servers. I though that they were all configured the same (they're all running 0.96.1), but I checked them out and found that indeed the problem host had LogTime yes uncommented. Finn, I'm sorry I ever doubted you! My apologies. That brings 2 questions to mind: 1) How did some servers end up with this setting, yet others did not? I'm not really worried about this, but it's a little perplexing to me. Perhaps I turned it on at some point, but there are 2 .rpmsave files, and both have it commented out. I'm guessing that it had something to do with the upgrade path. 2) Can the logwatch clam-update script be fixed to handle the LogTime yes configuration setting? I found a patch for the clam-update script at http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.log.logwatch.devel/1622 that I'll try out. I'll try it with both LogTime settings, and see what happens with tomorrow's logwatch run. (I'm a little too busy to test it manually). This patch was first submitted Jul'08 on the logwatch-devel list. I've inquired as to which release (if any) it's been included with. Also, Martin, is the message you show from the log I take it?

Re: [qmailtoaster] Re: dovecot install error
Hi Rajesh, If you are talking about the squirrelmail plugin to change passwords, that would not talk to the IMAP server as far as I recall. It would either use vpopmails command line tools to change the password or else write in the DB directly?

[qmailtoaster] .de tld trouble
Hi everyone, I don't know just how relevant this is for you, but since it *is* sort of a major thing... The entire .de TLD has had serious problems where the root servers either did not respond to DNS queries or (worse) they gave back NXDOMAIN. Now, this may result in people either not receiving or not being able to send mail from/to .de domains. Though problems seem to have been solved by DeNIC, it will take some time till everything is back to normal (due to ISP caches / domain TTLs). If anyone experienced anything weird - this may be why.

Re: [qmailtoaster] Re: incoming mail trouble...
Hi all, I found my problem: my ISP's DNS servers (which I had told dnscache to use) had issues resolving domains which caused my toaster to reject emails (no reverse lookup possible). I reverted to default dnscache settings where a longish list of root servers for forwarding DNS queries is included and just added the ISP's DNS servers as additional entries. It's faster to use my ISP's, but better be safe and have something to fall back on!

Re: [qmailtoaster] Please suggest
Hi Amit, This sounds like email marketing? I used to work for an email service provider and here is what I would recommend: Don't underestimate the whole deliverability aspect - this can be a lot of work. E.g. Depending on the types of messages being sent and the providers whose customers will receive these messages, you should take care of the following: Ensure you use SPF, Domainkeys and DKIM Make sure that hardbounces with reasons like user unknown (which SHOULD be 5.5.0, but is not always) get unsubscribed from whatever mailing is in question. Some providers (e.g. ATT/bellsouth) will degrade your throughput if you reach a threshold of too many wrong (usually obsolete - peaople change providers more often than you'd expect) addresses. Make sure that unsubscribes are honored. In general, conform to can-spam, etc. if you don't, I have seen things happen like the network provider being forced to shutdown the IP in question, etc. Given the volume, it might also make sense to look at the providers feedback-loop type programs. E.g. you absolutely HAVE to stop sending to people who used the 'this is spam' button in web based services such as AOL, etc. If you don't, you can quickly experience a full block of your outgoing IP by that provider. Check out the large providers' postmaster service pages to find out information on what they require you to do to ensure good deliverability. This might be anything from throttling to using SPF/Domainkeys, etc. Compare that with the majority of addresses in the address pool that is going to be sent those emails so you know where to focus on. Last but not least: For mass mailings, some providers (e.g. AOL) will wait to determine the traffic patterns coming from an IP address that was not yet used for mass mailings: IF they determine that the pattern suggests normal usage (regular newsletters, transactional messages, etc.) the deliverability will pick up, but at first it WILL BE BAD. This is NORMAL. :-) Thanks, Martin Am 03.05.2010 um 11:16 schrieb Amit Dalia: Hi Everyone, This may be out of topic, but please suggest me the best.

Re: [qmailtoaster] Header Information
Isn't that what SRS does to make sure SPF enabled mail actually can be forwarded without risk of being identified as phishing? I think it is a feature not a bug. If you left the headers as is and forwarded a mail from a sender who uses SPF, the final recipient might compare your IP to the original sender's SPF record and this usually fails (unless you're both on the same domain) Martin Am 16.04.2010 um 08:49 schrieb nishant amin igonish...@gmail.com: hi Aleksander if i forward the email through both my email client and web mail(thunderbird and squirrel mail)the headers get changed/replaced. any way to prevent this from happening.as frank mentioned if the headers are changed then it will be hard to know whre the mail originated from.

Re: [qmailtoaster] Header Information
That is not necessarily what he meant - if mail gets forwarded like that several times, you either have mail in mail in mail as cascaded attachments or you lose the trail of through whose hands the email went. If that were desired, he'd need to disable SRS. Probably through recompiling qmail as I think it is a patch to that package...

[qmailtoaster] domainkey headers
Hi all, I just followed the instructions in Jake's excellent DKIM video to implement that. Also, I switched to having this script do the domainkey signing as well. Now, every test I tried says all is well, but there is one thing I do not understand: The headers for the domainkey and DKIM signature contain weird information: (Example from a mail I sent to my own yahoo account): DomainKey-Signature:a=rsa-sha1; c=nofws; d=waschbuesch.de; h=from :content-type:content-transfer-encoding:subject:date:message-id :to:mime-version; q=dns; s=default; b=lF2aWIX+e9oN8bYFk8OGupo/F+ CDbPVA/yGb8eagFBr8ypwTSPuZq07cssngeQ0+ DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha1; c=simple; d=waschbuesch.de; h=from :content-type:content-transfer-encoding:subject:date:message-id :to:mime-version; s=default; bh=IFo6QBdna/qAn60/ytgz9ZK1/Y4=; b= ldXU+PxQlyiCCcOYHsIzj49GPRofZtird92MAIqZLThB60mJKrz8VEow0fA3WgIO Now, where does this weird h-tag come from? Is there a way to influence that? Thanks, Martin -- Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say, 'In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant.' Well, for years I was smart.

Re: [qmailtoaster] fresh installation smtp slow
Hi there, Reverse lookup on your IP is not possible yet? That would be a VERY bad idea for any mail server. It is highly likely that in addition to slow performance, a lot of recipients would block your outgoing mails as phishing or spam.

Re: [qmailtoaster] fresh installation smtp slow
Just to get this clear, it is not sending or receiving that takes so long, but your actual connection attempt via telnet takes that long?

Re: [qmailtoaster] fresh installation smtp slow
That sounds like something else then. Connect from localhost, at the very least, should be fast. Is there already a lot of traffic on the system? What's the load of the smtp process? Is there a chance that there is a large number of concurrent smtp connections already? Martin Am 11.04.2010 um 11:58 schrieb Istvan Köpe: Sending mail takes long.
