Re: [vchkpw] many roaming users

He is running sendmail for many years and wants to shift to a better MTA (for his moderately loaded server of 3 thousand users) during hardware change. I have advised him qmail + vpopmail combo, but am scared of one thing only. Can cdb handle that lot of recompiling (he surely does not want any kind of sql) because almost all his users are roaming users? I use roaming user with a ~ 1600 server, the system is made by 2 frontend and an NFS server, i've used this patch to make the roaming users function work with mysql instead of cdb over NFS: http://www.tnpi.biz/internet/mail/toaster/patches/tcpserver-mysql.shtml The server works great since 3 years.

For a while there, it seemed like vpopmail development was grinding to a halt, but these days it seems to No, i don't think that the vpopmail development is on a halt, i think that it's the opposite: vpopmail dev was stopped on v5.2.x version when was developed only by inter7, since Tom Collins has joined (or better: maintaned) the development vpopmail has get a big sprint. I don't think that the problem is vpopmail, the problem is qmail: after 6 years since 1.03 version there's no modific to the original version, now you always need addictional feature like antivirus integration, more spam filters, a lot of other things... this lead to a patch-over-patch phenomenon that is an headace for the qmail administrator. So you need a toaster like netqmail-1.05 + bill shupp patches, but sometimes this is not enoght. On the other hand postfix is active developed even on the core.

Re: [vchkpw] Problem with sharing domains dir via NFS
We have to mail servers running qmail + vpopmail 5.3.9 The second server should get the vpopmail/domains dir via NFS from the first one. It seems that just the first 100 domains are working. All domans inside domains/0/ or domains/1/ are not recognized by the second server. I guess this has something to do with domains/.dir-control? No, you must syncronize /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts /var/qmail/control/morercpthosts /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains /var/qmail/users/assign From the first server to the second server (better with rsync), then execute /var/qmail/bin/qmail-newu /var/qmail/bin/qmail-newu /var/qmail/bin/qmail-newmrh killall -HUP qmail-send on the second server, to make it syncronize without restart qmail.

Re: [vchkpw] Re: Qmailadmin feature request
I think that is time to create a qmail GPL project , qmail megapatch project or something similiar a big patch developed in gpl'd like project. The problem is that patching a qmail mail server is very common, and when you have to apply a lot of patch to the same source you can't do it automatically and you must adjust it by hand an headache So a project that will put all this useful patches in a big patch will be very very useful, i think that the patch allowed must be very selected to maintain the qmail code clean as from djb, and the best would be that the feature will be enabled or disabled via one control file. I'm not a C programmer but i will learn it expecially to modify qmail/inter7 tools to suite my needs (i work a lot with this programs) so i cannot mantain the project, but help with it. What do you think about it? I'd appreciate any suggestion. Regards On Thursday 06 February 2003 11:04, Andrew Kohlsmith wrote: And secondly, I don't like patches.

qmail-0.0.0.0 qmail-1.03-qmtpc qmail-bouncecontrol qmail-1.03-tls netscape-progress qmail-send.mimeheaders qmail-pop3d+vpomail yes, patch upon patches... the same thing that other's qmail administrator has done. For this reaseon i've proposed the project described in my previous mail about this thread. I agree. However there are a lot of little things (as seen in the patchlist above) which I wish would be rolled in to the next qmail release. I don't think that's going to happen, though. DJB seems happy with qmail the way it is and to be honest, any changes means he has to check it all over again for security. Not fun. I'm agree too, qmail-1.03 has been relased in '98 and djb doesn't seem to want to modify or upgrade it, and if it will be update i don't think that will insert third-part patches... djb is very selective (and strange) about this.

Re: [vchkpw] Re: Qmailadmin feature request
Just out of genuine curiosity, were you actually seeing problems that required each of those patches? I've been running a qmail/vpopmail/sqwebmail/qmailadmin setup for the past year now and have yet to actually find need for a patch. There's a lot of needs that plain qmail doesn't suite our needs, i can tell you someone: - spam prevention, with plain qmail do you have only badmailfrom+tcp.smtp+rbl. some patches make qmail use badmailto to filter against destination, regex in badmailfrom/badmail to block particular domain or name, tarpitting to make large-isp with a lot of ip enabled to relaying not too much vulnerable to spam. - content filtering: with qmail you cannot pass all emails to an external filter (like perl script) to customize/filter the messages. With content filter i intend virus filtering too - smtp-auth-relaying: useful for big lan with some external users - smtp-after-pop: vpopmail feature that do this is good for small traffic network, but when you have 100 or more concurrent connection to the pop3 you cannot use binary file but you must use a database. I could tell some of other needs, but i think that this is enought. Regards. -- Davide Giunchi.

In other words, how to control the number of connections that are attempted by qmail/vpopmail and/or how many connections are supported/ handled by MySQL. to control the number of connections to MySQL you could use mrtg, at www.mrtg.org you can find the mysql plugin, i use [mrtg-mysql-load] to monitor the query and slow query per minute. remember to use qmailmrtg to monitor the qmail traffic and usage. I have looked for this information in every place I can think of, and I can still not get this to work. As soon as someone drops a mail to, say, 20-30 recipients at the same time, I get these bounce messages. I think that it's very hard to reach the maximum number of (phisical) connections. 20-30 pop3 connections at the same time would not be a problem for qmail/mysql, i've constantly 100-150 (and sometimes 200) concurrent connection, as shown from qmailmrtg, to the pop3 and the system works good.
