RE: [vchkpw] Further Tweaks for better master/slave replication
Tom, (I feel like I am talking to myself... But what else is new) We are not using Courier for our POP/IMAP (no IMAP at all). Instead we are using qmail-pop3d for pop auth, so something else is causing that relay entry to appear. Any other thoughts? Ideally, I would just like the server to use tcp.smtp.cdb file instead of the database... I am pretty sure that you need the --enable-roaming-users=y for it to use the cdb file, but I guess there is some logic in there that also adds the functionality to the database if the --use-mysql is enabled... I will trip through the code to see if I can find a reference to that...

Recompile Courier since it links into libvpopmail as well, and that update may go away. -- Tom Collins - [EMAIL PROTECTED] QmailAdmin: http://qmailadmin.sf.net/ Vpopmail: http://vpopmail.sf.net/ Info on the Sniffter hand-held Network Tester: http://sniffter.com/

Hi Tom Your assumptions all sound correct to me Michael. - Original Message - From: Tom Walsh [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 12, 2003 8:36 AM Subject: [vchkpw] Further Tweaks for better master/slave replication In my never ending quest to achieve a truly redundant mail cluster, I have been trying to remove the suprious database functions that aren't needed in our installation. I have finally put into production our latest changes to remove the need for the vlog table (--enable-mysql-logging=n) as well as the lastauth table (--enable-auth-logging=n). I still have some updates that are hitting the master server that I don't think are necessary: replace into lastauth set user=username, domain=domain.com, remote_ip=webmail, timestamp=1071177181 And replace into relay ( ip_addr, timestamp ) values ( 192.168.1.100, 1071177219 ) I think I have an idea as to where these can be isolated, but wanted to ask the list and see what anybody had to say on the matter... The lastauth is obviously coming from sqwebmail (our webmail client). Do I have to recompile sqwebmail against the updated libvpopmail.a (the one that no longer has the lastauth code in it) to get it to stop updating the lastauth table? Or is there something else perhaps a config option in the sqwebmail itself? Or even worse hack the sqwebmail code to remove the lastauth call? It seems to reason that sqwebmail would only use lastauth in the database if it knew it was there so I think there is something to do with the libvpopmail.a rather than anything else. The relay I believe would be sorted if I removed the vpopmail configure option of --enable-roaming-users=y, but I want to make sure before I go ahead and do that. We already use a patched qmail-smtpd to allow smtpd-auth, so roaming users (with regard to vpopmail is redundant). Unless it is also needed for things like updates to the tcp.smtp.cdb database... Just looking for some clarification on that directive and what it will effect by setting it to no. Thanks in advance. Tom Walsh Network Administrator http://www.ala.net/
