[qmailtoaster] qtp-backup not taking complete backup
Hi All, qtp-backup not working, see the following details, 1. My /home partition was full. So I insert second HDD in my server 2. Mount new hdd on /email 3. rename /home/vpopmail/domains as domains_old 4. create folder in /email/domains. 5. create a softlink in /home/vpopmail/ and link it to /email/domains/ (domains - /email/domains/) 6. rsync mails form old domain to /email/domains /email/domains folder size is 223G. But the size of my tar.gz is only 54MB It's not taking complete backup.
[qmailtoaster] I wish to upgrade -- what might be suggested.
Friends,
I have an older version of qmailToaster.
{ It has been the ol' if it an't broke dhunt phix it ...]
but I know there are many advancements that I would benefit from.
Princel of these spamdyke , fail2ban etc.
I once read about the 'newmodel' but it has literally been years
I wish to do this 'the smart way' so i thought I would ask for advice.
What is suggested?
What do you think?
Thanks much!
here is what I am running now.

But the size of my tar.gz is only 54MB It's not taking complete backup. I imagine that if you look in the tarball(s) that qtp-backup creates, you'll see the symlink for the domains. Try adding the -h (--dereference) option to the appropriate tar command. That will probably get you what you want. Let us know if that fixes things up for you. I'll have to think a bit about whether or not this should be included in the stock version. Personally, I typically set up QMT with a symlink to an nfs share for the /home/vpopmail/domains folder, and use rsync for backups. Using qtp-backup for regular backups isn't very efficient, although perhaps it should get everything it can by default. There is (after all) a configuration option for omitting maildirs.

[qmailtoaster] Out of memory error sending from Squirrelmail on CentOS6
System is a CentOS6 x64 running the testing qmailtoaster (DK disabled) (in a VM on Citrix XenServer 6.2) This toaster has been up and running for a few weeks now and, to the best of my knowledge (I almost never use the webmail interface), outgoing mail from Squirrelmail WAS working fine up until yesterday. Yesterday, staff started seeing the following when trying to send an email from Squirrelmail: ERROR: Message not sent. Server replied: Service not available, closing channel 421 out of memory (#4.3.0) I've already tried increasing the softlimit - it didn't help. I've also tried increasing storage (from 8 to 16GB) and RAM (from 2 to 4GB) on the VM - also didn't help (didn't really expect it to but it was worth a shot).

Any reason why you have REQUIRE_AUTH=0 for submission? I'm guessing you just tried this to see if it remedied the error. Be sure to change it back. Please try doubling softlimit, just for yuks. I doubt that will fix things though, as value for smtp on 64-bit appears to be 6400. Can you authenticate successfully on port 25?

[qmailtoaster] Re: I wish to upgrade -- what might be suggested.
Good advice.
Jim, I'm not clear if you're trying to simply upgrade the software
you're running, or if you're wanting to upgrade hardware as well. Also,
you haven't answered my question: which OS and kernel version?
Not knowing the details of your situation makes an appropriate
recommendation difficult. Generally speaking though, I think the best
plan is to build a new host from scratch using COS6 and the new
packages, then migrate the existing configuration and users from the old
host using qtp-backup and qt-restore.
In your situation, your existing configuration is outdated enough
(particularly vpopmail) that there are other changes which need to be
taken care of (database changes for one). I think the best way to handle
that would be to use qtp-newmodel to upgrade your existing host first,
which will make your migration doable. You should upgrade
qmailtoaster-plus (yum update qmailtoaster-plus) before running
qtp-newmodel though. And how you run qtp-newmodel depends a little on
what your distro and kernel versions are.
Also, how much free disk space do you have on your existing QMT host?
Once you've answered these questions, we can make more concrete
recommendations.
Thanks.

Hmm, I think that was actually in there by default. I don't recall changing it - and it's the same in the /var/qmail/supervise/smtp/run so I think it was the default.

I doubt that will fix things though, as value for smtp on 64-bit appears to be 6400. Yes, it is. I tried that and it didn't help, so I pushed it up higher and it still didn't help. Just tried doubling it to 12800 - and yes, it's working. That's a pretty ridiculous number to need, considering how few people would actually be trying to send via squirrelmail at any given moment - maybe 2 or 3 messages on average? Can you authenticate successfully on port 25? You should be able to, (though it's not recommended). Yes, because port 25 is where the email clients connect to and those work just fine. Also tried via telnet - yes, port 25 works. And if I switch the email client to connect on 587, that doesn't work. The Barracuda email firewall also forwards to port 25 - which ironically continued working fine despite getting absolutely hammered with checks for nonexistent accounts for a couple of hours earlier today. The Barracuda bounced the spam but it still contacts the Qmail server to check for a valid recipient. So, that's working, at least for now - but I have a feeling there must be something else going on there. -- Best regards, Diana Calder mailto:dcal...@essexcountylibrary.ca Automation Technician(519) 776-5241 x.131 Essex County Library Essex, ON - To unsubscribe, e-mail: qmailtoaster-list-unsubscr...@qmailtoaster.com For additional commands, e-mail: qmailtoaster-list-h...@qmailtoaster.com

That's one of those sort of legacy things that came across from the previous setup - we had a lot of mail clients configured to use username only and I had to turn on access for either format until I get a chance to get out and change all of them (which will happen when I convert everyone over from POP3 to IMAP, which is being gradually rolled out as we see how well the system holds up to the change). The weird thing is that the old squirrelmail install required usern...@domain.com to work and this one requires the opposite. I suppose this could be related to the other problem. We'll see soon enough. ;) Apparently, it's not directly related as the ridiculously high bump on the softlimit fixed the other problem, at least for the time being. We'll see if things are still behaving on Monday. -- Best regards, Diana Calder mailto:dcal...@essexcountylibrary.ca Automation Technician(519) 776-5241 x.131 Essex County Library Essex, ON - To unsubscribe, e-mail: qmailtoaster-list-unsubscr...@qmailtoaster.com For additional commands, e-mail: qmailtoaster-list-h...@qmailtoaster.com

I'm guessing you just tried this to see if it remedied the error. Be sure to change it back. Hmm, I think that was actually in there by default. I don't recall changing it - and it's the same in the /var/qmail/supervise/smtp/run so I think it was the default. Either that or it was the setting on the old qmail server - would the backup and restore script have copied that across? Nope. Please try doubling softlimit, just for yuks. I doubt that will fix things though, as value for smtp on 64-bit appears to be 6400. Yes, it is. I tried that and it didn't help, so I pushed it up higher and it still didn't help. Just tried doubling it to 12800 - and yes, it's working. That's a pretty ridiculous number to need, considering how few people would actually be trying to send via squirrelmail at any given moment - maybe 2 or 3 messages on average? Can you authenticate successfully on port 25? You should be able to, (though it's not recommended). Yes, because port 25 is where the email clients connect to and those work just fine. Also tried via telnet - yes, port 25 works. And if I switch the email client to connect on 587, that doesn't work. The Barracuda email firewall also forwards to port 25 - which ironically continued working fine despite getting absolutely hammered with checks for nonexistent accounts for a couple of hours earlier today. The Barracuda bounced the spam but it still contacts the Qmail server to check for a valid recipient. So, that's working, at least for now - but I have a feeling there must be something else going on there. I concur. Will you post the contents of your smtp and submission run files? I'd like to do some careful inspection. -- -Eric 'shubes' - To unsubscribe, e-mail: qmailtoaster-list-unsubscr...@qmailtoaster.com For additional commands, e-mail: qmailtoaster-list-h...@qmailtoaster.com

On a side note, I expect that spamdyke isn't doing you much good since you have an email firewall in front of it. I'd wager that you could remove the Barracuda firewall and do just as well with spamdyke on the perimeter. You've probably got bigger fish to fry right now though. -- -Eric 'shubes' - To unsubscribe, e-mail: qmailtoaster-list-unsubscr...@qmailtoaster.com For additional commands, e-mail: qmailtoaster-list-h...@qmailtoaster.com

[qmailtoaster] Re: I wish to upgrade -- what might be suggested.
qtp-newmodel has a few different ways of handling its sandbox. The best/default is using the unionfs (aka overlay), but iirc that won't work with a kernel that old. The older copied sandbox should work fine for you, as you have plenty of disk space available. Just realize that it'll take a good deal of time to create a copied sandbox, as it essentially creates a copy of your entire drive (to use in a chroot environment to build the rpms). I'd try running qtp-newmodel with a copied sandbox after you've yum updated everything else. That should take care of doing any conversions that may be needed, and get you pretty much current. I don't know how well you'll make out trying to update a COS4 system though. You might just have to skip updating the OS. Be sure to update qmailtoaster-plus though. If qtp-dependencies gives you any grief, you can edit the script to remove the packages that are giving you problems. I suspect there might be a few in there, as I don't expect that script has been run on COS4 at all. Let us know how you progress. Before you go and acquire new hardware, you might run your thoughts by the list. Many servers are grossly overbuilt these days. -- -Eric 'shubes' On 04/11/2014 02:13 PM, Jim Shupert wrote: Sorry , i did not see your qs till now.
