Re: [vchkpw] RE: Redundant server
This doesn't have anything to do with vpopmail. Very simple qmail config. On your secondary server, add the domains for which you are running backup to rcpthosts. Then add the backup server as a lower priority MX to your DNS. The qmail server on the backup machine will accept the mail, realize they are not locals (since they are NOT found in virtualdomains on the backup server) and forward them to the primary. Not sure what you mean about backing up the secondary, this doesn't really have to do with this service. However you back up the server in general ought to be just fine for backing up any queued mail as well. -- Jamie Thursday, June 3, 2004, 11:31:30 AM, you wrote: DP Has anyone who is running vpopmail/qmail/mysqlcreated a DP backup/redundant or even a secondary server for the same domains?

Re: [vchkpw] RE: Redundant server
On second reading I may have misunderstood your question, are you trying to load balance between two servers for a single domain? If that is the case a pretty simple solution would be to split up addresses using subdomains. That is, at the bottom line you have mail1.domain.com, and mail2.domain.com and divide the addresses among these. So you could have different users in the same TLD on different servers. It would probably be easy enough to set something up to route mail sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] to the correct final destination so users wouldn't need to use [EMAIL PROTECTED] as their email address. -- Jamie Thursday, June 3, 2004, 11:31:30 AM, you wrote: DP Has anyone who is running vpopmail/qmail/mysqlcreated a DP backup/redundant or even a secondary server for the same domains?

[vchkpw] Customizeable .qmail defaults?
I've got a third-party spam filter that is used as a pipe in users .qmail file. In migrating to vpopmail, I've been able to configure it to work fine, but if a user makes any changes via qmailadmin, anything I've added to their .qmail is lost. Also, for standard mail configuration, there is no user .qmail file (it deletes it). I'd like to be able to have a .qmail file *always* in a user directory which contains my custom pipe, and have qmailadmin always include this user-specific configuration at the top of any .qmail file it writes. I guess in an ideal world, the qmailadmin interface would have a setting where a user could add anything they wanted to be included in their .qmail file and maintain it with their profile. I'm relatively new to vpopmail/qmailadmin so I don't know if this is possible to configure either by hand or through qmailadmin. I've read everything I could and couldn't find an answer to my question; the instructions for handling mail filtering seems different. Any suggestions or existing hacks? Thanks in advance. Jamie
