IMHO, qmail-pop3 should deny access to a Maildir if the home directory
it is stored in has the sticky bit set.  It's consistent with
qmail-local, which will refuse to deliver mail to such a home
directory.  I know, I know:

sh -c 'if test -k .; then qmail-pop3d Maildir; else qmail-pop3d /etc/skel/Maildir; fi '

Still, shouldn't that be included in qmail-pop3d?

Much more likely that this would work as intended:

sh -c 'if test -k .; then qmail-pop3d /etc/skel/Maildir; else qmail-pop3d Maildir; fi '

Yes.
Your MX record for mail.buz.ch will only be used for mails to 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Mail for [EMAIL PROTECTED] is sent to the IP
address buz.ch (209.15.28.27), which happens to be identical to
the old MX for mail.buz.ch.

You need to add another MX record, this time for the buz.ch and
not for mail.buz.ch. In bind-speak:
        buz.ch IN MX 10 mail.buz.ch

It might take some time until all name servers have learned about
this.

It's possible to get this behaviour through some hacks (FAQ 5.3 plus
serialmail, for example).
You can use "at" for that, too.

This is how the alias mechanism is designed to work: 
mail gets delivered to alias (and fastforward) only if there is no
account for that address. In this case there is a listar account,
so /etc/aliases will not be used.

A couple of weeks ago, someone mentioned in the list that qmail
stopped delivering to ./Maildir/

Now, I have the same problem on a new machine-Debian 2.1, qmail 1.03.

qmail-inject DOES deliver to ./Maildir/, but normal mail does not.

Any suggestions on how to track down the problem, (I'm at my wits end
on it)?

        Thanks,

        John

Read qmail-1.03/REMOVE.sendmail
It looks like your old sendmail is still around.

Hi,
 
I am Redhat linux 6.1 user.
 
I'm trying to use qmail as pop3 server.
 
And like many free mail services I wanted to insert footnote(banner, url so on) to mail.
 
With mailing list's answer I modified the qmail source and inserted the footnote.
 
After several tests, I found some problems.
 
If the mail is written in plain text-case of using pine, there is no problem.
 
If I use outlook express, I can choose content type(html, text)
 
and encoding methods(base 64, quoted printable, 7bits).
 
So when I choose 7bits, there is no problem.
 
But in other cases the footnotes is not recognizable or not seen.
 
(not recognizable: chose text and different encoding methods(except 7 bits)
 
 not seen: chose html )
 
I use Korean. Because Korean is 8 bits character, there are many problems(especially encoding).
 
How can I solve this problem?
 
According to the mail header, should I change the footnote?
 
Is there any methods or module to change the encoded content(7bits -> base 64 and so forth)?
 
Thank you...




Hello,

I'm currently administrating the mail delivery system on a
system as described in the subject, with 1GB of SDRAM and
100GB disk.

I'm using ReiserFS (which, BTW, is working very well). My
mailsystem receives 70'000 mails a day and the throughput
is just about twice that. Average mails sent per second
varies around 70-170 mails.

I wonder if qmail understands that I'm running a quad-
processor system, as it doesn't seem to deliver messages
faster when the queue builds up. When I run single-threaded
programs which use 100% of one processor, qmail will not
deliver mail!

Does anyone have any idea what could be the problem? The
disk IO is very low and my computer is *really* sleeping,
with a load average (uptime etc) of approx. 1.4..

Hope for an answer,


Andreas

A loadaverage of 1.4 means you have on average 1.4 task waiting to run. Or,
to put it in percentages: your machine has 140% of it's time filled with
tasks that want to run.

Even for an idle quad Xeon, that is way to high.

A slight correction there, the uptime program gives a load
average accumulating on each and every process. If five
processes want 100% processor time, you will get an
output from 'uptime' saying '5'.

An average of 1.4 is high, but absolutely not as high as
140% of your computer's resources!! ;)

1.4 might mean that I have 10 processes requesting 14%,
but that's not the same as a 140% processor load.

I agree. I manage a similar system (quad Xeon, 1GB memory) with a
loadaverage of 0.3 or thereabouts.

Although I'm not familiar with the intricacies of how load is
distributed across multiple CPUs among different OS's, I would suspect
something is wrong with your system.

Ok, the average of 1.4 was taken at the start of this discussion,
with great activity. The load average is now down to 0.7 and 
dropping.

My point was: qmail should interpret 25% of this load as the
capability of these computers are 4x what a normal computer
can handle with the same configuration in 1x.

I want mail delivery to go much faster, the computer can do
much better than this!!! I want the qmail-send program to deliver
4x as many mails.

But qmail doesn't "know" what the load on your machine is, or how 
many processors are available.  Scheduling of processes is controlled 
by the operating system, not the processes themselves.  There might 
be something wrong with the way your OS is set up.

There are things that you can do to "tune" a qmail installation, like 
setting concurrency remote.  IIRC they're covered by "Life with 
qmail".  Start at www.qmail.org.

Not quite.  It means that, on average, 1.4 tasks were ready to run.  On
a 4 processor machine, that means that there were still two completely
idle CPUs.  A load average of 4 would mean all 4 CPUs are 100% busy.

Mail delivery is typically not CPU bound.  You could probably add
another 4 CPUs and not see any significant improvement in throughput.
Mail delivery is pretty much 100% I/O bound.  And, with the way qmail
writes its queue files, it becomes mostly seek-time bound as well (due
to running many fsync's).

Um, no.  Even if you (incorrectly) express load average as a percentage of
processing capacity in use, a load average of 1.4 on a 4-way system would
still only indicate 35% of available capacity in use.

It is also very possible to achieve high load averages without using 100% of
your processor.  I've seen machines with one processor, that regularly have a 
load average over 2, and are only using 10-15% of the processor.

In other words, your quad Xeon is being wasted.  You could replace it with a
single Pentium II or Pentium III machine.

That is an absolutely terrible thing to say.  You don't know anything about
his system (and obviously, not enough about Unix or computers in general) to 
make an accurate analysis based on his post.  Please refrain from saying such
things in the future unless you're sure you know what you're talking about.

Um, yes. You did see the magic word *idle*? His system is doing nothing
usefull, but still has a load of 1.4. Normal systems have a load of 0.00
when idle. :)

It's interesting that you're using ReiserFS.  Are you doing
that for /var/qmail/queue?

At what rate are you able to inject messages into the queue
without causing serialization of qmail-send?

Are you implying that it's qmail's job to manage what processes
get scheduled for time on which CPU instead of the OS?

If you're not using the packing tails feature, it should do ok.

Depends on what you mean by wasted. Nobody's worried about the mail
system being overloaded (bandwidth now becoming the limiting
factor). It keeps The Man off my back. IMHO, a small price to pay.

Of course, yes, it could be handled by a PII for now, but I'd still
rather have the quad Xeon with the redundant hardware goodies (and a
service contract) than an off-the-shelf PII, or even one built by my
own hands.

Granted, I'm not a sysadmin by profession, and I've only been using
qmail for ~4 months, but I've been running a similar system (aside
from the ReiserFS) under a similar load. From my limited experience,
and our record of loadaverages over the past 3.5 weeks, a load average
of 1.4 would indicate something out of the ordinary.

Yep. Just do it.

I use svscan, and created a qmail directory in /service. /service/qmail/run
looks like this:

#!/bin/sh
exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" qmail-start ./Maildir/

/service/qmail/log/run looks like this:

#!/bin/sh
exec setuidgid qmaill multilog t s500000 ./main

supervise now oversees my whole qmail operation.

Problems. I installed Wmail, but aparently I forgot some stuff to do.

Perhaps any of you can help. When I send an email to myself, I receive the
following error message back (by the by, emailing from myself to myself on
the localhost seems to work just fine.)

Hi,

I configured everything well and to work, thanks to iv0.
However most of my pop3 clients do not allow their pop3 syntax:

username%pop.domain.com.

coz of the %

Any idea how to remedy this.

For Outlook and Outlook express I user the email address
([EMAIL PROTECTED]) and in Netscape I use username%domain.com as Netscape
don't like '@' in the username - the same goes for Outlook Express on Mac.
So far I haven't seen anything that chokes on the precent sign.

Best regards

I have set up a server, it's running qmail 1.03, vpopmail, qmailadmin,
ucspi, qmailanalog, dotforward, rblsmtpd, and so on.
I 've setup POP3 server using qmail-pop3d using tcpserver like this
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver 0 110 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup  \
     server.site.or.id\
     /bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir &

it worked, and I could fetch mail from my home maildir at /home/irwan/Maildir
my question is ..... how to fetch mail from my other virtual maildir at
/home/vpopmail/domains/other.site.or.id/ ?
I've tried when I connect to the pop server by doing this
user irwan%other.site.or.id
pass ********
but it returned with ... invalid what... 
then , how to fetch from virtual domain email ?
beside that, could I install dot-qmail at virtualdomain home directory ?
for example
for user [EMAIL PROTECTED] at his homedirectory
/home/vpopmail/domains/other.site.or.id/xyz/
I put
.qmail-xyz

I want to know, what is the maximal value of 
concurrencyremote and concurrencylocal W/O recompiling again the qmail/kernel
What is the ideal value of concurrencyremote with about 500 mails outbound
everyday, and 800 mails inbound.
