On the 13th (just to pick a day) there were 74 errors due to insufficient resources (procmail either didn't start or segv'd) and 8944 errors talking to another local sendmail server (the outbound MX) out of 141542 messages total. Only 19611 messages were destined for other mail servers. Delivery times ranged from 1 second to almost 3 hours (the long delays are the result of the procmail errors). The system supports fewer than 1000 users, but is very sluggish and requires a lot of maintenance. The new system cost about $15000. It is built with an NFS backend running Red Hat Linux 7.3 on a 1TB RAID 5 set attached to a 3ware 7500 card, one 1.8 Ghz CPU and 1GB of RAM. There are two Courier servers configured identically, load balanced with DNS round-robin.

For backward compatibility, POP3 service is provided by qmail-popup with an APOP checkpw. All other mail services (including POP3S) are provided by Courier.User information is stored in an iPlanet directory server. Although these systems have a fraction of the hardware resources, and a good deal of additional processing, we expect their capacity to be 5 to 10 times that of the old sendmail system (our tests indicate so, but real life use may prove different). If we're still discussing it then, I'll provide performance metrics on the new system after it goes live. If anyone has any comments on the new system's setup, my managers are interested in feedback from other Courier users. --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Tablet PC. Does your code think in ink?

SquirrelMail for the interface, and personalities (I use one system user for many email addresses and SqWebMail doesn't set Return-Path properly, so it's hard to reply to mailing lists). Mind you SquirrelMail is REALLY slow as it relies on IMAP access. And it doesn't even have the option to connect to IMAP-SSL, so I have to do extra rules to block external normal IMAP access. Things I don't like about SqWebMail - the 'default' interface. Yes I know I can change this, but some options are hardcoded still and cannot be changed. SquirrelMail has a template selection with premade templates already. I have to say though the speed issue is a big one with me, so once I figure out how to hack on sentit.sh to include the From field as a Return-Path then I'll be happy (it's probably trivial but I've had no time to check).

Only the final, delivering MTA is allowed to add a Return-Path header to the message. What you want is to set the envelope sender, MAIL FROM:..., and this is done using the -f option to sendmail: i.e. sendmail [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] sendit.sh does this already. I would guess your problem is that your MTA doesn't trust the Unix user which sqwebmail is running as, and therefore ignores the -f option. If your mails have a return path of [EMAIL PROTECTED] (and your webserver is running as user 'nobody') then that's a strong indication. How to fix this depends on your MTA. Sendmail would use the 'T' class, exim has 'trusted_users' or 'trusted_groups'; others on this list can tell you how to configure courier-MTA. Regards.

[courier-users] Can't get LDAP user authentication to work
Hello, I'm trying to set up a combo of postfix, courier and ldap with both local en virtual users, using the jamm howto as a guide. Most parts are working but I can't get the ldap authentication in Courier to work. As LDAP in itself is running and both postfix and jamm have no problem with it, I believe this to be an error in my courier configuration part. I have looked at the logs and they report a 'Protocol error', which leaves me baffled. I'm running courier-imap-1.6.2-1 and openldap2-2.1.4-70 on SuSE 8.1. Besides ldap, courier has also been compiled with mysql support, although I don't use mysql at the moment. I mention this because earlier I had the problem that authdaemond started authdaemond.mysql instead of authdaemond.ldap. I had to rename authdaemond.mysql to authdaemond.mysql- to prevent this. The relevant configuration files: authdaemonrc: authmodulelist=authldap authpam authmodulelistorig=authcustom authcram authuserdb authldap authmysql authpam daemons=5 version= authdaemonvar=/var/run/authdaemon.courier-imap authldaprc: LDAP_SERVERmaurice.schekkerman.com LDAP_PORT389 LDAP_BASEDNo=hosting,dc=schekkerman.,dc=com LDAP_TIMEOUT8 LDAP_AUTHBIND1 LDAP_MAILmail LDAP_GLOB_UIDvmail LDAP_GLOB_GIDvmail LDAP_HOMEDIRhomeDirectory LDAP_MAILDIRmailbox LDAP_CRYPTPWuserPassword LDAP_TLS0 And the logging part which let me to the conclusion that this mailinglist might be the best place to ask this question: Mar 19 23:22:41 maurice imapd: Connection, ip=[:::192.168.0.12] Mar 19 23:22:41 maurice imapd: LOGIN: DEBUG: ip=[:::192.168.0.12], command=CAPABILITY Mar 19 23:23:01 maurice imapd: LOGIN: DEBUG: ip=[:::192.168.0.12], command=LOGIN Mar 19 23:23:01 maurice imapd: LOGIN: DEBUG: ip=[:::192.168.0.12], username=schekker Mar 19 23:23:01 maurice imapd: LOGIN: DEBUG: ip=[:::192.168.0.12], password=snip Mar 19 23:23:01 maurice slapd[21636]: daemon: activity on 1 descriptors Mar 19 23:23:01 maurice slapd[21636]: daemon: new connection on 9 Mar 19 23:23:01 maurice slapd[21636]: daemon: conn=5 fd=9 connection from IP=212.61.46.200:3086 (IP=0.0.0.0:389) accepted.

Are you performing some type of availability test /on/ the DNS server such that if A goes down resolutions for mail-test.real.com always return B? The LVR/NAT and LVS/DR solutions are much better from a high level perspective. Heck, you could probably get away with a Pentium 200 level machine as the NAT/DR router - it just passes and mangles packets. What sense does it make to spend 15K on a cluster of boxes and then skimp on the HA gateways? Who says you are skimping? If you need a certain amount of horsepower to perform a job, why bother with grossly exceeding that limit? -- Applying computer technology is simply finding the right wrench to pound in the correct screw.

Just one of the points, and no guarantee this is feasible, but I think I can make a _suggestion_ for fixing it... This could (I suspect, but that's without *ever* having looked at the HTML source of the form, nor sqwebmail in general) probably be set up VERY easily with a simple time-out JavaScript function on the editing form's page. There's surely a Save as Draft action which I would presume can be triggered by such a JS time-out function. -- Then simply have an extra parameter passed to whatever result page is the target of the time-out, so that it knows to tell the user the draft message has been saved... you can find it in your drafts folder. Alternatively, it could submit the editing form back to itself (keeping the session active, and the data alive with minimal user interruption) after a JS time out... that is, if it's a matter of the server-based session being timed out *while* you're still working on data which concerns you. That would however initiate an infinitely-looping, never-dying, persistent user session if a browser window was merely left open inadvertently. -- So, maybe there would have to be a maximum number of auto-reloads to keep that out of the equation. Or maybe it could check the length of the auto-reloaded data and compare it to the previous length (stored in a separate form/JS field) and Save as Draft if 2 or 3 subsequent auto-reloads had the same exact length... and were therefore (presumably) caused by a session being left unattended. Hmm... ... Just some thoughts. Any comments? -jab Something can surely be done. While it is a simple setting in Squirrelmail, it *does* leave you with a session that can run indefinitely. Surely a hazard on a Cyber-Cafe machine if you have motored off w/o closing it Several of your suggestions are more attractive than that Bill Hacker --- This SF.net email is sponsored by:Crypto Challenge is now open!

Re: [courier-users] chdir Maildir: No such file or directory
From: Jono [EMAIL PROTECTED] It turned out to be a case of RTFM... in the authmysql config I had neglected to uncomment the directive that specifies the maildir location, so it was looking for a maildir directly inside /private/var/mail... and exim was creating it deeper just as it was told to do! DOH! :) It's always the little stuff that gets you.

RE: [courier-users] (sqwebmail vs. squirrelmail) on top of qmail
Haven't tried this, but as they are browser-accessed, it should be possible to trial all three in parallel on the same server by assigning them non-standard ports, at least w/r a non-ssl trial. It would be less work and risk OTOH, to install all three, select one at a time to run for trials. Or do so on separate servers, if you have the resources. You *should* try the installation, use, and configuration maintenance before committing. Also be aware that if a user ticks more than two or three of Squirrelmail's anti-spam tools, it can take a *long* time to process an incoming message. Seems like about ten minutes if you pick *all* of the blacklists! At least it (mostly) affects no one else but that user...

[courier-users] Re: hung connection
James A Baker writes: Guys, I'm sorry, I'm sure this is a simple config problem that I'm just missing. (Especially since I didn't have this problem with my 0.41.0 install.) But courier (esmtpd and esmtpd-msa) are hanging when I connect to them. The port is open in both cases, it accepts connections, but I get no greeting from them and no response at all to This is as a result of either: * Non-functioning forward/reverse DNS resolution on the connecting IP address * An intermediate firewall dropping identd packets. Each incoming ESMTP connection has the connecting IP address resolved backwards and forwards via DNS, and queried via identd. An identd request times out after 30 seconds. Non-functioning DNS may take several minutes to time out. --- This SF.net email is sponsored by:Crypto Challenge is now open!
