Re: [qmailtoaster] authentication
I am having authentication problems that I cannot seem to figure out. It always seems to happen with Thunderbird on Windows systems. I cannot get the outgoing SMTP server to authenticate. It always comes up with an error, cannot connect to server. I am sure it's a problem with Thunderbird, but cannot seem to solve it. Anyone else have trouble sending out using Thunderbird? The mail server is QMT and authenticates fine from a Linux workstation at the same location as the Windows box.

Re: [qmailtoaster] authentication
Hi Maxwell, following your description this is not a authentification problem but rather a DNS or configuration issue. Did you set the correct servername for outgoing mails in Thunderbird? Is the protocol (smtp, submission) open on your (outgoing) firewall? Cannot connect to server is far before authentification. Try telnetting from those windows clients.

Re: [qmailtoaster] vpopmail upgrade
Eric Shubert wrote: Matt Brookings at inter7.com is feverishly working on rolling out vpopmail 5.5. This is a fairly major rewrite. Backends will be separate modules, and as such will not need to be compiled into the main program. They'll be dynamically configurable, instead of having to specify them at ./config/compile time. Considering what he's written to me, I've decided to wait on doing ldap support for QMT until ldap is available with 5.5. That will be a couple months before it ready to test. However, testing of 5.5 with mysql is ready for testing now. This is strictly a development version at this point, only for testing. If anyone would like to do some testing on it, Matt would surely appreciate it. If you're interested, c'mon over to the vpopmail list (vch...@inter7.com) and join the fun. I'll help out where I can, but I'll be testing ldap when Matt has it availble. Quotas will be fixed in 5.5 (they're fixed in 5.4.28 as well). qmailadmin 1.4 works with 5.5, and is available for testing as well. And get this. Matt says that vQadmin isn't dead at all, and will be upgraded for 5.5. I'm thinking we should get the upgraded vQadmin working on the toaster in conjunction with the 5.5 release. (Sorry Jake). Anybody want to do some testing? Thoughts? Glad to see a new release, and relieved. The new vqadmin will be packages up once it becomes stable and made available, but I'll still move it to the optional software section once the other menu system is created and in place. That's the way everyone voted. Once the new Inter7 packages become stable, let me know and I'll start packaging them up for QMT and doing some testing. I'll start a thread on the devel list when I start this process to keep everyone abreast with what is happening. - Qmailtoaster is sponsored by Vickers Consulting Group (www.vickersconsulting.com) Vickers Consulting Group offers Qmailtoaster support and installations.

See http://www.interazioni.it/opensource/chkuser/documentation/chkuser_settings.html I believe you can add a variable definition to your line in tcp.smtp that tells chkuser not to check this. Since CHKUSER_SENDER_MX is already set at compile time, I don't know how you'd unset it using an environment variable. Looks like you can turn off chkuser entirely though. See CHKUSER_STARTING_VARIABLE. If I'm reading that right, if you add CHKUSER_STARTING_VARIABLE=CU_START_VAR,CU_START_VAR=none would turn off chkuser entirely for that connection. On a side note, could CHKUSER_ALLOW_SENDER_CHAR_3=/ be used for blackberries, without having to rebuild qmail-toaster? If so, I think this adds fodder to redoing the stock toaster chkuser defaults. I'm thinking that if options cannot be turned off dynamically (CHKUSER_SENDER_MX for example), then they should be left off at compile time and activated in the tcp.smtp file, so that they can be dynamically disabled if desired. It could very well be that we can simply use the stock chkuser defaults as they are, and use definitions in tcp.smtp for toaster variants. Or perhaps I'm just not awake yet (still dreaming). -- -Eric 'shubes' - Qmailtoaster is sponsored by Vickers Consulting Group (www.vickersconsulting.com) Vickers Consulting Group offers Qmailtoaster support and installations.

Be sure to review the configuration settings (/etc/spamdyke/spamdyke.conf) before turning it on. See the http://wiki.qmailtoaster.com/index.php/Spamdyke and documentation at the spamdyke site for details. amit IKF wrote: Hi Everyone, How do I enable Spamdyke for my qmail toaster?

Re: [qmailtoaster] vpopmail upgrade
Hi Eric This new release is really a good news, if its solves the quota limit of 2GB per users. if the new version solve this issues, i will be testing this with my test machine. Can you guide me, how do i make the vpopmail-toaster rpm for my centos 5.3 with this new source file. Till now i followed the following procedure to upgrade any src package, example- rpmbuild --rebuild --with cnt50 $VPOP rpm -Uvh /usr/src/$BDIR/RPMS/$ARCH/vpopmail-toaster*.rpm I have not updated any toaster package directly from source file, please guide me. Before upgrading vpomail, if i need to take any precaution you can share it, because this will help me while upgrading in my production server. Now im going to test in my test machine only.

Backends will be separate modules, and as such will not need to be compiled into the main program. They'll be dynamically configurable, instead of having to specify them at ./config/compile time. Considering what he's written to me, I've decided to wait on doing ldap support for QMT until ldap is available with 5.5. That will be a couple months before it ready to test. However, testing of 5.5 with mysql is ready for testing now. This is strictly a development version at this point, only for testing. If anyone would like to do some testing on it, Matt would surely appreciate it. If you're interested, c'mon over to the vpopmail list (vch...@inter7.com) and join the fun. I'll help out where I can, but I'll be testing ldap when Matt has it availble. Quotas will be fixed in 5.5 (they're fixed in 5.4.28 as well). qmailadmin 1.4 works with 5.5, and is available for testing as well. And get this. Matt says that vQadmin isn't dead at all, and will be upgraded for 5.5. I'm thinking we should get the upgraded vQadmin working on the toaster in conjunction with the 5.5 release. (Sorry Jake).

Re: [qmailtoaster] duplicate mail
Looks like it might work. Some of the time. It's not 100%, as you might
get dups when the hash file rolls over. It's sort of crude, but might
meet your objective.
Like Jake said though, I'm not sure this solves the real problem, which
lies in how the duplicates come into being in the first place.
Duplicates can also come about due to server performance problems. If
you implement this script, it will mask these other duplicates as well,
and you might not have any other evidence that a problem exists. This
could be dangerous.

Doesn't this seem like logical behavior? If you send two copies of the
same message to the same use, shouldn't they then get 2 copies?
I'd suggest instead of adding a script (I've never heard of your script
before) that you rethink the logic of your mail delivery and adjust to
not create the problem in the first place, instead of creating the
problem and then adding other modifications to then fix the problem you
created.
Just my opinion.

Jake, Eric, I just want to offer a big round of thanks for such an excellent Qmail compilation. I've got it up and running now on two production servers and it has been flawless. Also, Jake, is there a not-for-profit Open Source project that you would like me to donate to on your behalf? As a measure of my gratitude for the excellence of compiling and maintaining this qmail distribution, I would like to send a donation to them. My consulting practice services many non-profit organizations at discount as well as donated capacities, so I like to support those things which do good for community. Contact me directly, please. Aditionally, is the EZMLM digest option for this list turned on? I'm finding it difficult to keep up with all the individual e-mail posts in my inbox. Thanks!

Nice (Pink Floyd). You might want to leave the toaster string (Welcome to Qmail Toaster Ver. 1.3) in there though. It helps bots that do surveys count your server as a Qmail Toaster (which helps all of us). There are various pages on the web about testing auth with telnet. If we don't have it on the wiki yet, google for it, learn it, then add it to the wiki. TLS is particularly tricky because you need to encode what you send. There's a web site that'll do the encoding for you though, and you can simply cut'n'paste it.

Eric, I'll change the string back. Anything to support the toaster. I'll get off my duff and walk into my other room with my Qmail book and find the Telnet section. I used to remember all this, but don't need it enough. That's a testament to how well the toaster works. Cheers, CJ Eric Shubert wrote: Nice (Pink Floyd).

RE: [qmailtoaster] vpopmail upgrade
I'd kinda be hesitant to have an easy method for people to upgrade to this release until it's in production. I foresee some just grabbing it and building/installing. One thing I should mention is that I believe that the quota issues are fixed in the current release on 64-bit OS versions. I encountered some problems with quotas that were well above 2 gigs on the production mail-server that were then mirrored on a 32-bit server. I think the underlying issue with quotas is simply going to be a long variable issue since it seemed to work fine under the 64-bit system.

Yes it will be a few months before a stable (production) version is ready. In the meantime though, Matt can use all of the testers he can. If you'd like to test, I believe that the sources are in an svn repo. Justice, can you lend a hand here? Perhaps we can come up with spec file that testers can use to roll their own rpms.

Perhaps we can put in a few preventive measures. Like maybe require the test machine to not have spamassassin installed, then put a rule in the spec that says it conflicts with spamassassin. Would that be safe enough? I really hate turning away people who want to test but aren't quite up to building their own rpms yet.

What do you mean you changed a DC to backup? Is DNS still on it? Is that where you are getting dns from? If you removed AD from a DNS DC, then DNS will be flakey if it runs at all.

My provider knows that I am hosting an email service and not blocking. It seems to be speeding up now. I got ~8 seconds before getting a HELO reply. I did get this when running a DNS report on your domain though: *WARN* Glue at parent nameservers WARNING. The parent servers (I checked with d0.org.afilias-nst.org.) are not providing glue for all your nameservers. This means that they are supplying the NS records (host.example.com), but not supplying the A records (192.0.2.53), which can cause slightly slower connections, and may cause incompatibilities with some non-RFC-compliant programs. This is perfectly acceptable behavior per the RFCs. This will usually occur if your DNS servers are not in the same TLD as your domain (for example, a DNS server of ns1.example.*org* for the domain example.*com*). In this case, you can speed up the connections slightly by having NS records that are in the same TLD as your domain.

OK, moving any FSMO roles won't have anything to do with your problem then. The Domain Naming master also doesn't have anything to do with DNS. It's the central manager for your own AD domain and nothing on the outside. I was concerned if you demoted a DC that you were getting DNS from. Where is your toaster going for DNS lookups? Do you have a local cache (DJBDNS, tinydns)? If so, is that pointing to the root servers for lookups or are you forwarding lookups to another DNS? -Original Message- From: Kent Busbee [mailto:kbusb...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, August 19, 2009 5:21 PM To: qmailtoaster-list@qmailtoaster.com Subject: [qmailtoaster] Re: bandwidth hog On Wed, Aug 19, 2009 at 3:53 PM, Kent Busbee kbusb...@gmail.com wrote: Ok, now I am subscribed in gmail and should be able to email more efficiently.

[qmailtoaster] bandwidth hog
At about 5:40am CST something on my network pegged out the T1. After much pulling out of hair, to my shock, I discovered that it was the qmail server. As soon as we pulled out the ethernet from the switch to the mail server the network was ok. Now I am so frazzled that I don't know where to begin trying to figure out what went wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Here are some snips from my logs: Send: 2009-08-19 05:31:48.549113500 status: local 0/10 remote 0/60 2009-08-19 05:31:48.549118500 end msg 11175037 2009-08-19 05:39:41.758399500 new msg 11175037 2009-08-19 05:39:41.758405500 info msg 11175037: bytes 10767 from qmailtoaster-list-return-2540-kbusbee=northlakechristian@qmailtoaster.com qp 3257 uid 89 2009-08-19 05:39:41.766017500 starting delivery 17105: msg 11175037 to local northlakechristian.org-kbus...@northlakechristian.org 2009-08-19 05:39:41.766035500 status: local 1/10 remote 0/60 2009-08-19 05:39:41.794251500 delivery 17105: success: did_0+0+1/ 2009-08-19 05:39:41.794295500 status: local 0/10 remote 0/60 2009-08-19 05:39:41.794300500 end msg 11175037 2009-08-19 06:12:25.496925500 new msg 11175037 2009-08-19 06:12:25.496931500 info msg 11175037: bytes 1386 from anonym...@mail.northlakechristian.org qp 3758 uid 0 2009-08-19 06:12:25.503692500 starting delivery 17106: msg 11175037 to remote r...@mail.northlakechristian.org 2009-08-19 06:12:25.503699500 status: local 0/10 remote 1/60 2009-08-19 06:13:18.973655500 delivery 17106: deferral: CNAME_lookup_failed_temporarily._(#4.4.3)/ 2009-08-19 06:13:18.973662500 status: local 0/10 remote 0/60 2009-08-19 06:19:06.902007500 starting delivery 17107: msg 11175037 to remote r...@mail.northlakechristian.org SMTP: 08-19 05:36:13 tcpserver: status: 0/100 08-19 05:39:18 tcpserver: status: 1/100 08-19 05:39:18 tcpserver: pid 3238 from 216.81.238.95 08-19 05:39:18 tcpserver: ok 3238 mail.northlakechristian.org:192.168.1.8:25 :21 6.81.238.95::50329 08-19 05:39:25 CHKUSER accepted rcpt: from qmailtoaster-list-return-2540-kbusbe e=northlakechristian@qmailtoaster.com:: remote mail.qmailtoaster.com:unkno wn:216.81.238.95 rcpt kbus...@northlakechristian.org : found existing recipie nt 08-19 05:39:25 policy_check: remote qmailtoaster-list-return-2540-kbusbee=northl akechristian@qmailtoaster.com - local kbus...@northlakechristian.org (UNAUT HENTICATED SENDER) 08-19 05:39:25 policy_check: policy allows transmission 08-19 05:39:25 spamdyke[3238]: ALLOWED from: qmailtoaster-list-return-2540-kbusb ee=northlakechristian@qmailtoaster.com to: kbus...@northlakechristian.org or igin_ip: 216.81.238.95 origin_rdns: mail.qmailtoaster.com auth: (unknown) 08-19 05:39:41 simscan:[3239]:CLEAN (-2.50/7.00):16.1175s:RE_ [qmailtoaster] tcp rules:216.81.238.95:qmailtoaster-list-return-2540-kbusbee=northlakechristian.org @qmailtoaster.com:kbus...@northlakechristian.org: 08-19 05:50:42 spamdyke[3238]: TIMEOUT from: qmailtoaster-list-return-2540-kbusb ee=northlakechristian@qmailtoaster.com to: kbus...@northlakechristian.org or igin_ip: 216.81.238.95 origin_rdns: mail.qmailtoaster.com auth: (unknown) reason : TIMEOUT Submission: 08-18 22:32:32 tcpserver: status: 0/100 08-19 06:47:01 tcpserver: status: 1/100 08-19 06:47:01 tcpserver: pid 4222 from 127.0.0.1 08-19 06:47:01 tcpserver: ok 4222 mail.northlakechristian.org:127.0.0.1:587 :127 .0.0.1::50276 08-19 06:47:56 CHKUSER rejected sender: from bel...@northlakechristian.org:beld e...@northlakechristian.org: remote mail.northlakechristian.org:unknown:127.0.0. 1 rcpt : temporary DNS problem 08-19 06:47:57 tcpserver: end 4222 status 256 08-19 06:47:57 tcpserver: status: 0/100 Kent Busbee Director of Technology Northlake Christian School - Qmailtoaster is sponsored by Vickers Consulting Group (www.vickersconsulting.com) Vickers Consulting Group offers Qmailtoaster support and installations.

Re: [qmailtoaster] Re: bandwidth hog
OK... My queue is now down to 0. I am writing from my server. Let's hope this goes through. What I need to do is figure out what caused: a) the server to eat all the bandwidth of our T1 b) what caused the queue to get so full and take so long to get out.
