I'd like to know how to set up the ~user/.qmail files on 198.133.233.10 to begin forwarding their mail to the new host, while the new DNS MX record for bosia.org propagates.

RE: Virtual Domains
Usually, when there is a changeable parameter, like -l hostname, it means that you may use it accordingly to your needs and to the rules (man tcpserver and tcpserver source give the rules to me). I can't be forced to use the common choice because Dan wrote this way. So, in my opinion, for debugging purposes, for knowing which tcpserver is answering, for thousands of other reasons, you may use it as you want, as long as you know what you're doing (otherwise use the common choice).

A common choice for localname is 0. 'man tcpserver' says: -llocalname Do not look up the local host name; use localname for TCPLOCALHOST. This means that, simply, instead of making a DNS lookup for setting the TCPLOCALHOST variable with the name of the localhost, tcpserver trust what you're declaring with -l (so '0' or whatever you put is the same for him) and saves time. I prefer to declare the exact name instead of '0'. Tonino At 10/05/2001 10/05/2001 -0400, Ed Henderson wrote: The correct form for -l parameter is -l 0 not an actual hostname.

I have a similar situation, and my system handles DNS by himself. Although I may swear about the functionality and setup of my DNS, I had to force the -l name.of.my.system parameter in the tcpserver line. Having this, tcpserver assume name.of.my.system to be the name of the answering computer and avoid to make an extra call to DNS (that's the call that slowered all for me, don't ask me why). Hope this help. Tonino At 10/05/2001 10/05/2001 +1000, you wrote: G'Day All, I have a question about the speed of my qmail server. I look after 2 mail servers, 1 for the company and i help an isp run the other. The company one has 1.03 qmail plain stock standard and when you pop in and smtp in it reacts almost instantly. Works fine. However we are not finding the same thing on the isp mail server. There are about 20 virtual domains and poping in and smtp in is starting to get slower and slower and even sometime time out. Versions are : qmail 1.03 vpopmail 3.4.11-1.released qmailadmin 0.26e Each domain has their own ip which reverse resolves to their own mail.domain.com We house all dns entries for their domains and reverses. What we get is that sometimes a customer of the virtual domain will get a timeout while trying to check his email via pop3. We have increased the timeouts on some of the pc's but really was wondering is it because we are scaling more and more virtual domains ? What should i be looking for ? Is it perhaps a known bug and its fixed in a newer version ? PC is running at load average of 0.00 and 98.6% idle. Its a P3 800 or something with 256Mb of memory Thanks in Advance Nathan
vaddaliasdomain ... works fine but
.. it does not a ./pathto-newaliasdomain, instead it makes a link including the whole path. Shouldn´ t it better if its just a pathr elative to the domains/ folder? This would make a movement of the whole folder (if needed) easier i guess. Just a suggestion that came out of my old brain right now.. :) regards from South Germany Anton Pirnat aka TapeBRB
Versions
Hi, I am trying to install vpopmail (vchkpwd authentication), qmailadmin, and sqwebmail. The only thing that works is vpopmail (version 4.10.1). What are the correct versions that will work together. SqWebmail compiles but does not authenticate - how do I debug this?? This is an upgrade to an existing installation that worked fine!!
qmail - iplanet
I wanted to know if somebody experienced the migration of user accounts of qmail so much to iplanet and vice versa. I need to know if there is some development that allows to make this. Thanks in advance

RE: POP Authentication Not Working
Anyway, I searched and poked and grepped and looked through Running Qmail, but I could not find a startup script anywhere that starts the tcpserver line above. I don't know where it is coming from. I went ahead and made a note of the command, then created a new script: # ls -l /usr/local/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d-new -rwxr-xr-x 1 root qmail 174 May 10 14:12 /usr/local/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d-new* with contents: env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:/usr/local/bin" \ tcpserver 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup mydom.co.jp \ /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /usr/local/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d-new Maildir I then killed the original tcpserver process and executed this instead: # /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v 0 pop3 /usr/local/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d-new My oh my... you run tcpserver with a shell script that runs tcpserver (again) and calls itself instead of qmail-pop3d. You also have a lot of redundance by including the full paths to binaries when they're in your path. Try putting this in /usr/local/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d-new: env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:/usr/local/bin" \ tcpserver 0 pop3 qmail-popup mydom.co.jp \ /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw qmail-pop3d Maildir Then just run qmail-pop3d-new
Re: off topic: backup
: I've got qmail+vpopmail+qmailadmin+sqwebmail+vqadmin : running on my linux, and i want to start to make backups of my : vpopmail directory (where the users account are). I make backups of all my users mail and my vpopmail settings using a crontab job which is performed twice daily. The script contains the following lines # Only needed if you use mySQL /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqldump -cu user --password=password vpopmail db.dump tar cvfM vpopmail.tar /home2/vpopmail/domains gzip -fv vpopmail.tar There, thats it. You need to change /home2/vpopmail to your vpopmail home directory. THis script creates vpopmail.tar.gz file in the directory where you run it and a db.dump file of all the mySQL data To restore, you would simply run the db.dump file through mysql and # tar zxvf vpopmail.tar.gz from / and all the users mail and settings will be recreated, ive only had to restore once and it works fine. Remember to create a crontab job for the script! Hope this helps you, Daniel. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: config error vpopmail/mysql on redhat 7.1 (vpopmail-4.9.10)
appologies. I misstated my intention. I was trying to install vpopmail to USE mysql (mysql, itself, is installed and running just fine) I've had one person suggest that adding --user-quota gets rid of the complaint (it does). This does still point to something wonky in the config. I'd like to hunt it down, but it would help if someone could tell me what the -lz is about. It's a kludge, though, and I'm not sure what the -lz is about, or why it's being included. (it claims to be about compression).

vmoduser options
I would like to use the options provided by vmoduser to disable imap access but it doesn't work. I'm not sure how this works but is it how I have set up courier imap? Also how do the other one work for pop becuase that doesn't work either. I am using vpopmail 4.9.10 with the patch that fixes vuserinfo. These features did not work before I applied that patch either. Also is is possible to set domain wide defaults for new users created? I would like some domains to have a default disk quota per user and also domain wide defaults for the features in vmoduser eg: no imap access. cheers, Bjorn Nilsen Manux Solutions Ltd
