RE: [vchkpw] How to run multiple qmail-queue
John: i'm not suggesting to have a qmail for each domain, i agree that would be a nightmare... you can have just a qmail for premium domains and a qmail for regular domains. Manish: is that what you want? regards, Ingo Claro Gerente de Operaciones [EMAIL PROTECTED] (+56-2) 43 00 155 -Mensaje original- De: John Simpson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Enviado el: Domingo, 30 de Octubre de 2005 7:24 Para: vchkpw@inter7.com Asunto: Re: [vchkpw] How to run multiple qmail-queue On 2005-10-29, at 1623, Ingo Claro wrote: but if you install many qmails in different directories (/var/qmail, /var/qmail2, ...) you can have multiple queues. i understand that. i also understand (from direct experience) that it's an administrative nightmare, and it's a lot more work than he needs to do in order to solve the underlying problem. the point of my original answer was that setting up multiple queues is not the best solution for the problem that he's having. a much better solution is to raise the concurrencyremote value, which will create more delivery slots, making it less likely that any one domain's messages would exhaust all of the delivery slots before the normal tcpto mechanism decides to blacklist the non-responsive IP address for an hour (which is why all of the other domains' mail is stopping on his server.) but you seem to be an expert on this. rather than trying to sell me on the idea (you won't, because i don't really care- it's not my server) why don't you answer the original question? explain to him, in terms he will understand, how to successfully get two or more copies of qmail running on the same machine. i'm sure he's waiting for somebody to do just that, and i'm not going to do it because i don't think it's the right solution for his problem. this way handling different priority queues depending on the domain... for example domain1 and domain2 goes to qmail2 and all the rest to qmail3. out of curiosity, how would you set the relative priority of each instance of qmail-send in relation to the others? what makes one queue move faster than the others? and if the idea is to have a separate queue for each domain in order to prevent one domain's mail from interfering with another domain's deliveries, what is your answer for an ISP whose mail server handles mail for thousands of domains- would you have them set up a separate instance of qmail for each domain, so that each domain would have their own queue? -- | John M.

Re: [vchkpw] qmail+vpopmail on redhat 7.3 server gets very busy
did u check your kernel? there are some hackers that may exploit your server check your /tmp directory if you are also running apache and see if you see some hidden directories, etc.. just my 2 cents.

It was running fine for the past 3 years until now. Lately the server at random getsslow and verybusy and could not be accessed until restarted with ahard reset. The only thing I can think of is rebuilding the system. Any ideas as to why this is happening? Thanks, Sam
Re: [vchkpw] .qmail- files not processed
who owns the .qmail file? do u use mysql as backend? there is not enough info in your email. Remo - Original Message - From: Fred McIntyre [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: vchkpw@inter7.com Sent: Sunday, October 30, 2005 19:10 Subject: [vchkpw] .qmail- files not processed Hi, I'll appreciate any pointers regarding my problem. Searching the archives of this list, and Googling, haven't helped. If all you do is point me to better search terms, I'll be happy :-) Summary: It appears that .qmail-* files are not being processed. I have .qmail files with | preline /path/to/program and [EMAIL PROTECTED] in them. Apparently neither is processed. This problem arose after vpopmail was installed. And, I have another server without vpopmail on it, where I do not have this problem. I have also sent this to the qmail list. Email to the following addresses (details follow) apparently vaporizes: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] In fact, email to any address which should be handled by a .qmail file apparently vaporizes. At least, I can't figure out what is happening to it. Email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] added by vadddomain and vadduser get delivered fine. But, I need to have addresses where email is forwarded based on a .qmail file, or sent to a program based on a .qmail file. Details: It does not matter where the .qmail file is located. Some examples: /home/vpopmail/domains/naxum.com/.qmail-frederick /var/rep/data/backoffice.gonewnetmail.com/qmailalias/.qmail-achievers /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-fred Each of the above .qmail files contains [EMAIL PROTECTED] on a single line, nothing else in the file. Each of the above files, and the directory they are in, are owned, respectively, by: vpopmail:vchkpw gonewnetmail:mailgroup root:qmail with permissions of -rw--- for files, and drwxr-sr-x for the directories.

RE: [vchkpw] .qmail- files not processed
who owns the .qmail file? do u use mysql as backend? there is not enough info in your email. Remo Remo, I do not use mysql. Please let me know what other info you need. As noted in my original email, regarding the .qmail files: It does not matter where the .qmail file is located. Some examples: /home/vpopmail/domains/naxum.com/.qmail-frederick /var/rep/data/backoffice.gonewnetmail.com/qmailalias/.qmail-achievers /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-fred Each of the above .qmail files contains [EMAIL PROTECTED] on a single line, nothing else in the file. Each of the above files, and the directory they are in, are owned, respectively, by: vpopmail:vchkpw gonewnetmail:mailgroup root:qmail The only domain that is handled by vpopmail, for the examples above, is naxum.com. So let's deal with just that one. I have added naxum.com to the vpopmail with vadddomain. vpopmail put naxum.com:naxum.com into virtualdomains, and the relevant entry into users/assign. Email to users added with vadduser are delivered properly. It is my understanding that any .qmail files, matching the user name in an incoming email, in /home/vpopmail/domains/naxum.com will be used before the delivery instructions in .qmail-default. That is what is NOT happening. Here is a dir listing of /home/vpopmail/domains/naxum.com drwx-- 10 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 Oct 30 17:17 . drwx--7 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 Oct 24 22:24 .. -rw-r--r--1 vpopmail vchkpw 34 Oct 22 15:18 .dir-control drwx--3 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 May 28 08:47 fred drwx--3 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 May 28 08:46 postmaster -rw---1 vpopmail vchkpw 55 May 28 08:46 .qmail-default -rw---1 vpopmail vchkpw 21 Oct 30 17:17 .qmail-frederick -rw---1 vpopmail vchkpw843 Oct 20 11:07 vpasswd -rw---1 vpopmail vchkpw 3067 Oct 20 11:07 vpasswd.cdb -rw---1 vpopmail vchkpw 0 Oct 20 11:07 .vpasswd.lock Email sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] is fine. Email sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] seems to vaporize. The file .qmail-frederick contains the single line [EMAIL PROTECTED] (without the double quotes) which, based on my understanding, means that email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] should be forwarded to [EMAIL PROTECTED] That does not happen. The file .qmail-default contains the single line | /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox (without the double quotes). Please let me know what other information will help you help me. Thanks, Fred
