You could always use the QTP-Backup script ahead of your migration. Rdiff-backup might be handy for keeping versions of it as you go.

I am moving to a new email server and as I move each domain over, I'd like to keep what is on the QMT server just in case something isn't right with the new server. Thanks, Scott
RE: [qmailtoaster] Email Duplicates

RE: [qmailtoaster] Re: qtp-backup
Rollback or increments could be necessary if someone deletes email prior to the last backup and it is later discovered by (that person's boss) well after the fact (and the last backup). I had been keeping about 1 month back in delta files necessary to re-create previous backup data. Though I later realized that seldom does the contents of one file/message change in a mail server, so just having a file-level increment (instead of bit/block-level) is necessary under the right circumstances. -Pat Ring -Original Message- From: Eric Shubert [mailto:e...@shubes.net] Sent: Tuesday, March 29, 2011 12:55 PM To: qmailtoaster-list@qmailtoaster.com Subject: [qmailtoaster] Re: qtp-backup I think you can do incrementals with rsync as well.

RE: [qmailtoaster] Re: Archiving old mails
I would imagine he's referring to some of the mail retention standards that certain corporations must adhere to. Personally, I'd just keep some kind of incremental system (like rdiff-backup) running on the vpopmail storage. The question is how long does it need to be archived for, and what is the target medium. The alternate question is whether this is for one person, 2, or the whole server? -Pat. -Original Message- From: Eric Shubert [mailto:e...@shubes.net] Sent: Friday, March 11, 2011 7:55 AM To: qmailtoaster-list@qmailtoaster.com Subject: [qmailtoaster] Re: Archiving old mails On 03/11/2011 06:39 AM, Rafael P.

RE: [qmailtoaster] Re: Is it possible with Qmail
There is a time and a place for Exchange, but if all they intend to do is email, that's not it. Exchange can be time consuming on the administrative end if the company has more than say 10 - 20 inboxes/accounts (especially as the information store grows). If they don't directly need the calendar/journal/shared info and extensive addressbook, don't go Exchange (not worth it as a strict MTA/email server). I agree with Eric that it looks like someone copied the feature list of Exchange (or similar). There are a lot of logs that most people don't use available in Qmail Toaster. Those might already do what you need. Patrick M.

It looks to me as though someone took a feature list from Exchange, and made them requirements. Of course, most other email servers don't have these features, because frankly, they're not something that's necessary, or really even desirable. In the interest of reality, they could also have added: 6.Anti-spam capability must be an additional cost, and marginally effective. 7.Server reliability is spotty. 8.Admin of server will be a full time position that is difficult to fill due to frustrating environment. You'll need to decide for yourself what it's worth to you to serve this customer. If they're bent on getting Exchange, that's what they'll get, and they'll deserve it. My opinion is that if you're really acting in your customer's best interest, you'll try to help them understand why Exchange is not something that they should want. This is largely a process of education. Good luck (seriously). -- -Eric 'shubes' On 02/04/2011 12:05 AM, Anil Aliyan wrote: Dear Eric, Yes these requirements are made by the customer.

RE: [qmailtoaster] Re: Is it possible with Qmail
Very True on all counts. However, don't be fooled. The logs on Exchange require console/RDP administrative access and can be just as difficult to get to and interpret as QMail. Patrick M. Ring Cornerstone IT, LLC Louisiana Web Host, LLC. 985-868-4200 -Original Message- From: Dan McAllister [mailto:d...@it4soho.com] Sent: Friday, February 04, 2011 11:16 AM To: qmailtoaster-list@qmailtoaster.com Subject: Re: [qmailtoaster] Re: Is it possible with Qmail Actually, if you want to get TECHNICAL, most of those things can also be done in QMT: 1 - a Unique Message ID is created when the server receives each message -- and the message ID is the filename used by VPOPMAIL to store the message (or at least PART of the filename). Of course, to SEE the message ID (file name, etc), you'll need access to the QMail files and folders. 2 - Tracking Status are handled by the QMail logging feature -- and detailed logs are kept for each process. You can adjust the level of detail. The only tricky part is that the Admin user who wants to view these logs will need shell access, or else web access to the log folders files. 3 - Using QMT and the VPOPMAIL utilities, an Admin can easily maintain and modify the settings (including quotas) for each user 4 - Here's the tricky one... Using shell commands and the QMail logs, an Admin certainly can determine overall user activity -- but the logs will need to be more detailed than the default setting, and the Admin will need a shell account in addition to the QMail account. So you see, depending on how you INTERPRET the requirements, QMT can satisfy the requirements with little change! There ARE ways to outsmart even LAZY requirements writers (e.g.: the ones that copy requirements from feature lists!) Just my thoughts... Dan IT4SOHO PS: Throw in an additional kicker -- QMT can support separate Admins for each Domain -- so that different e-mail domain admins can be completely locked out of domains that they are NOT admins for.

RE: [qmailtoaster] Replicated Server Issue
At that point, just check to see the database has data in it (using something like Webmin or PHPmyAdmin). Then see if when you change something on your master server (account info via qcontrol or qmailadmin), it follows suit in the new slave. After you've established the database connectivity/replication, you can move the appropriate config files and mail files and, later, start your sync routines. Patrick M. Ring P.

OK.

Speaking of raid, I'm partial to software raid-1. Do you know if ESXi supports software raid or not? *P.R.* It would be dependant upon the controller. So far I've found that ESXi (especially 3.5) wants almost nothing but RAID controllers (hardware-bound not fake). ESXi 4 is supposed to be a bit more lenient since there is a big shift on the entry-level servers to SATA, however, if the machine is not 64bit native, it won't install. *P.R.* With that in mind, I don't think a software RAID-1 would work since ESXi would have to configure it from the start.

Re: [qmailtoaster] Re: QMT on Xen? (I hope not)
I've heard ESXi 4 fixes some of those issues. (Must have 64bit hardware though) I run some low-end services from the ESXi 3.5 hosts, but not much since there isn't much available support for doing so. I do find my performance is better on ESXi than it was on VMWare Server. But, I'm running on older Proliant DL360/380 G3 servers (dual xeon 2.8) ESXi 3.5 is very picky about hardware Especially hard disk controllers and RAID devices. -Patrick Ring -- Sent from my BlackBerry Wireless Device -Original Message- From: Eric Shubert e...@shubes.net To: qmailtoaster-list@qmailtoaster.com qmailtoaster-list@qmailtoaster.com Sent: Wed Aug 04 22:11:24 2010 Subject: [qmailtoaster] Re: QMT on Xen?

My host OS is CentOS, so packages are readily available for it. One thing I do run is ntp server. I believe VMware recommends this for ESXi as well. ESXi doesn't appear to like all of my hardware. I have one host with a USB ethernet dongle that is not used by the host, but is bridged to a guest. I had to get the driver for the device from the EPEL repo. Works fine with VMware Server on CentOS, but I doubt getting it to work with ESXi would have been so easy, if even possible. I tried loading ESXi on one of my test hosts, and it didn't like the on board ethernet at all.

I will be creating a new QTP release, but that might not happen for a

I'd like to wait for that to be complete before cutting a new release.

[qmailtoaster] Spamdyke
I've just implemented Spamdyke. I'm wondering if there is a Spamdyke specific log I can watch or is it apparent through the /var/log/qmail/smtp/current. I do see a lot more of grey-listing and denials that I don't remember seeing before, but it seems to have quieted the smtp logs. Is that normal? I am seeing listings for @## spamdyke[]: that weren't there before. So I'm guessing I got it right... seemed very (too) simple from QTP. I do remember seeing something (here on the list) about Spamdyke reducing the load on the server by keeping things blocked at the source, but I'm not sure what I should be looking for yet. Though, my client with the worst spam troubles does suddenly seem to have a siginificant reduction in traffic, and no spam yet. Thanks, Patrick M. Ring P.

[qmailtoaster] Does anyone on QMT use Untangle?
I'm needing to tighten my gateways . In particular against SPAM.

RE: [qmailtoaster] Re: Does anyone on QMT use Untangle?
I have often felt Untangle needed a bit more cpu than most appliances should, but I've been pleased with it on my office-only network which is why I asked what some here may think. I guess this confirms my feelings that Untangle is best suited for a small-med business firewall and content control appliance than just a dedicated SPAM/virus filter. As for Spamdyke, I figured it would be best suited to function directly on the permimeter of the mail network (because of what it does). Would you suggest putting Spamdyke on a dedicated box that relays mail in, or just run it on my QMT boxes directly? I'm not familiar with IPCop at all. I'll have to look at what it does.

It's flashy and has a slick interface, which unfortunately causes it to require more hardware to run on than is generally needed for a router. I also don't think that anti-spam software in general is suited to a router host/appliance. I prefer running IPCop in front of QMT, which I do regularly. I expect that spamdyke with QMT (and spamassassin) will catch every bit as much and probably more spam than untangle or even postini would. If you want to beef up virus detection, I would suggest augmenting or replacing clamav with a commercial AV offering such as ESET or Kaspersky. I believe that ESET can be easily integrated with QMT during the delivery phase. I'm not sure about Kaspersky or others. You should realize that spamdyke is only effective when it's on the edge, communicating directly with the sending server. Putting a device which handles the smtp session from the sender in front of spamdyke will defeat most of spamdyke's effectiveness.

[qmailtoaster] qmailtoaster-plus on QMT5-ISO
Am I wrong in thinking that qmailtoaster-plus was included with QMT5-ISO? (or was it possibly part of the original qmt-iso?) I know I have it on a server that I know I loaded from QMT-ISO, but I don't remember having to load it from rpm or repo. The reason I ask is that I just loaded a server up with CentQMT5-1.2 and it doesn't have any of the qtp-* items in the /usr/sbin. Would I have put this there, or is it part of the ISO? Please advise.

RE: [qmailtoaster] Re: Does anyone on QMT use Untangle?
At this point I'm leaning toward leaving Untangle just in charge of my corporate network (Exchange Server spam and content management) while I put Spamdyke in charge of the qmailtoaster servers that house mail for my clients. I have had very good results for the Untangle Anti-spam (spam counts went from the thousands per day for just a handful of aacounts to near zero), but the more research I've done today, coupled with what I've seen here, I'm thinking that it won't be a good match with QMT.

I'm running Courier (I haven't had the time to plan out a Dovecot transition). I've tested and re-tested what is happening with the spam-marked messages.

However, it looks like they've moved, but when you check the Inbox the message(s) is/are not there. Clicking back on the Spam folder reveals they are right back there. I can move the marked messages to any other folder except the Spam folder. Any ideas? My understanding is that messages are only moved to the spambox upon delivery. My guess is that somehow SM (or the underlying IMAP server) isn't updating the folder views properly. Which IMAP client are you running? As for IMAP, it seems to confuse the end users when it is time to delete messages. Outlook and Outlook Express just strike them out, and then the user has to find the Purge function in a drop menu. I'm working on educating them, but most of them are not young and computer savvy. ;-) I knew that Outlook did that, but wasn't aware of OE doing so. The newer Win7 mail program (OE equivalent on Win7) handles imap in a better fashion (like you'd expect it to). Of course TBird also handles imap well. I encourage users to use something other than Outlook when they're not using features that require it (most users use it only for email). Outlook'03 is particularly troublesome, given its 2G .pst file limit and the fact that it stores all imap messages in the pst file even though they're on the server as well. Outlook'07 behaves a bit better in this regard (you can purge automatically, and full messages aren't stored in the pst), but it still has limitations, as well as having to compress the pst file occasionally. Not very user friendly. FWIW, you can change the view in Outlook so that it doesn't show the striked-out messages. They still need to be purged, but it appears like they go away. Also, they don't go into the 'deleted items' folder as you'd expect. I actually had a user that was using the 'deleted items' folder as a normal file for archiving! (What part of DELETED do you not understand?) I'm not yet aware of a good cure for Outlook users. :( I imagine that there would be a lot fewer of them if they understood how easily their pst file could become corrupt, and they'd lose all of their email and contacts and calendar information.

RE: [qmailtoaster] Re: Spambox troubles
Not to my knowledge. A long while back, I had a partner who was taking care of my QMT. He implemented the spambox on SpamAssassin; though I've talked to him, and he thought the same thing. I've built a few newer versions of QMT since, so I'm not sure what might be doing this. This time when I migrate to the new server load (QMT5-ISO -- this weekend), I'll likely not do a full backup/restore process, and hopefully I'll be able to skip on whatever is running that is doing the re-filtering.

It see the .qmail file, and processes the message according to the .qmail file which tells it to run through the mailfilter script. Courier then places the message in the folder. It does not get run against that same message again. You indicated that when you move it, it moves itself back. That would not be indiciative of the mailfilter script and the message being hung in the queue - if it were there would be multiple copies.

RE: [qmailtoaster] Spambox troubles
Once an email gets marked as spam and placed in the .spam box, what must one do to move it out so it stays in the Inbox?

RE: [qmailtoaster] Re: Spambox troubles
I said so it stays because I have been trying to use the Squirrelmail Move function to move the messages into the Inbox. However, it looks like they've moved, but when you check the Inbox the message(s) is/are not there. Clicking back on the Spam folder reveals they are right back there. I can move the marked messages to any other folder except the Spam folder. Any ideas? As for IMAP, it seems to confuse the end users when it is time to delete messages. Outlook and Outlook Express just strike them out, and then the user has to find the Purge function in a drop menu.

RE: [qmailtoaster] Re: Receiving two copies of every mail.
Thank you. I've been trying to figure it out for 4 years now. Some process seems to add the second entry to the .qmail file along the way. I'm not sure if it is when the account is modified by one of the web interfaces or by some other process. Here is an example of a .qmail file from an account that was receiving double emails: | /var/qmail/bin/preline /usr/bin/maildrop -A 'Content-Filter:maildrop-toaster' /etc/mail/mailfilter #/home/vpopmail/domains/somedomain.com/mary/Maildir/ Notice I remarked the second line. After that, the account has been fine ever since. Every now and again, I get one that somehow reverts back. Whenever it comes up, I'll look for answers for a day or two, then get busy and forget about it Last time it happened was when I was still using the older Qmail Toaster Admin (http://mail.domain.xyz/admin-toaster/) I have been using the qcontrol (thank you Jake) for a while now, and I'm not sure I've seen the occurrence since I started using it.

Interesting. I wonder if it's somehow related to either: .) the spambox feature (which I believe modifies this file) or perhaps .) some side effect of a user changing their preferences. Might want to test these to see if you can recreate the result. I think the former is more likely. In any case, this seems to point to a problem with the maildrop-toaster package.

Here is an example of a .qmail file from an account that was receiving double emails: | /var/qmail/bin/preline /usr/bin/maildrop -A 'Content-Filter:maildrop-toaster' /etc/mail/mailfilter #/home/vpopmail/domains/somedomain.com/mary/Maildir/ Notice I remarked the second line.

Regards, Anil Aliyan I wouldn't experience this, as I use gmane.org for list access, and don't receive any posts directly. Duplicates are typically the result of a timeout, which could be on either end. When a timeout occurs, the session does not complete successfully and the sending server (appropriately) resends the message. If your server can experience periods of heavy load (usually caused by multiple concurrent scans), be sure that your timeout settings are not too restrictive. Spamdyke's idle-timeout-secs setting

While I don't endorse letting AV software getting out of date, new releases shouldn't break existing installations. Perhaps just disable itself at worse. Perhaps we need to look into why/how this broke QMT, and change something to prevent it from happening again.

[qmailtoaster] newmodel fail (on QMT5)
OK, after giving up on the older QMT4 (ISO based on CentOS4) I purchased the QMT5 ISO (from VCG). The install went well, and I ran 'yum -y update' immediately after the successful install. All went well. I rebooted, and ran qtp-newmodel (from qtp-menu) It was clipping along well until it tries to install ucspi-tcp-toaster-0.88-1.3.9.src.rpm at which point it say it cannot be installed. A message Build failed exiting is then presented and when you press Enter, it goes back to qtp-menu. Is there something I'm missing?...or doing wrong.

RE: [qmailtoaster] Re: emails taking forever: I'm not quite sure where to start
I did stumble across that (I forget where), but I originally tried to run the queue-fix-1.4 program, but could not get it to compile properly, so I did create the (named-pipe) trigger file. Afterward queue_repair.py did run through, but complained of mode problems (644 vs 600) in the todo and intd folders. Things seem to be working better now. I'll post more of the details later this evening.

It (inadvertently) dropped the queue trigger file. Version 1.3.20 (published on 10/1/09) fixes that problem. Also, the latest qtp-newmodel runs queue_repair.py just to make sure things are in order. Does queue_repair.py create the queue trigger file? If not, upgrading to 1.3.20 will fix your problem. Or you can: # mkfifo/var/qmail/queue/lock/trigger # chown /var/qmail/queue/lock/trigger # chmod 622 /var/qmail/queue/lock/trigger then run queue_repair.py again just to make sure things are as they should be. Sorry about that 1.3.19 version. That was my doing, and was changed in order for the package to work with the new fuse-unionfs.

[qmailtoaster] emails taking forever: I'm not quite sure where to start
QMT list, I'm noticing on my live email server (hosting about 100 accounts) that most (if not all) emails are taking anywhere from 15min to 12hr to make it into the Inboxes.

OK. I finally got back to working on this. (sorry for the delay) I tried a yum install kernel-smp-devel (installed/complete), rebooted, then tried running the newmodel script. Got the same errors. Should I attempt to download/build the fuse and see where this takes me? My goal, originally, was just to make a quick-and-dirty test server based on the older QMT ISO (w/ CentOS 4.x)...

Interesting I notice now that there are 2 kernels listed in the splash screen (grub)(...one is SMP and the other is not). I'll check on that.

Re: [qmailtoaster] Re: Has something changed in QT?
I'm out of town right now, but I'll be able to work with it tomorrow afternoon. When I did last work with it, newmodel would start and download and then look like it was going to run, and then right after the sandbox (as the error portion I posted said) error out. On the first attemp, I loaded the QMT ISO, rebooted, ran yum update (for CentOS 4.8), rebooted, and ran newmodel. In trying to get it to work (on that attempt), I also tried toggling the autofs service (found a QMT list thread about that). I appreciated the input, I'm going to keep trying when I get back tomorrow. Worst case, I'll probably just load up a fresh load from scratch (instead of the ISO)... The ISO was just so convenient.

You will of course need to edit the interface on your system to reflect the new IP address, and if you're running the firewall you will want to edit it for your new IP, and to remove the line that blocks private IPs from accessing the machine since it will be on the LAN. I believe this is turned off by default now - I may have forgotten to make that change to the files available on the website, so double check. Once you edit firewall.sh (if you're running it), run the script again to apply the new rules.

RE: [qmailtoaster] Advantage/Disadvantage ...??
OT - I get a ironic chuckle out of the people that NEED the 100Mb wireless routers because their Internet is slow on their cable modem (5Mb down). I've heard this too! :-P But, I guess in perspective, you're right about the performance versus bandwidth. I guess I was looking at it from a spam/virus perspective. It seems the verdict is that if you are setting up for what is to be a very static load with near static storage needs, just use straight partitioning. Use LVM if you are trying to stay with a budget system that might have to grow in the near future. From that point of view, Jake, what format method does the QMT ISO disk use (the one based on the newer CentOS 5)? I saw it in a video, but didn't take notice of whether it used LVM (usually a default in CentOS) or not. Thanks, Pat.

Patrick Ring wrote: So far between the couple of answer I've got here, and the research I had been doing. The concensus is about the same. ...It seems people who have been around Linux for a while prefer the straight partitioning methods. I would personally think that LVM would put a slight performance load on the server as well which could hinder the sometimes very disk intensive nature of QmailToaster and its packages. Probably a very true statement (about people who have been around Linux a while). LVM does incur a write delay depending on hardware (read: most hardware) but provides a speed boost on reads, like RAID 0 would since you're reading from multiple drives at the same time. For your average network connection, this is not noticed in any form. There is a big difference in the speed of network connections (mega BITS) compared to a physical drive (mega BYTES).

So it becomes very flexible when used that way. This would lead to being able to make changes easily (once you learn the LVM tools that is...). I've used QMT for a good 4+ years now, but I've always done a very simple install. I'm having to expand out now to accomodate larger needs. So, platform configs start to matter.

[qmailtoaster] Qtp-backup script mods?
Has anyone thought about the idea of removing the date-coding of the script in order to facilitate the full capability of rsync for when you copy your backup files to another location? Just a thought since my backup files are typically 5+GB and growing, an rsync has to move the whole file every time and not just the diffs since the files names and such are different on each backup. Another possibility I've been looking into for a direct mirror is changing the tar statements into either rsync or rdiff-backup statements (once again losing the date-code variables). Any thoughts, or pitfalls?
