If you mean 500 individual remote deliveries, the default (20?) is more than
ample. However, 500 outbound emails with 1000 recipients each would be a
different story.
Look at the output of zoverall (from qmailanalog). That will give you some
statistics, such as average concurrency, etc. I'm guessing yours will be
much less than 1.

Hi all,
I'm a newbie to Qmail and OpenBSD and i was wondering if there's a FAQ or something
about QmailAnaLog cause the documentation provided is, unfortunately, not enough for a
newbie like me :-(

Hm - strange.
Question to the knowing: aren't IMPA servers supposed to translate
the local line end conventions to CR/LF before sending the articles
over the wire?
Regards, Uwe
It shouldn't be possible to do it any other way; no sane client or
server should be willing/able to mess with the TCP line-end convention.
Perhaps the original poster meant the following:
We have MUAs [which are also IMAP clients] that access these files
directly off the unix box [using file access], . . .
Doesn't seem likely, but the original statement struck me as somewhat
ambiguous . . .

if i may jump in...
the load average is the average number of processes in a runnable state.
it says nothing about how much cpu time is actually being used. for
instance, i run a very busy internet site (6+ million hits/day) on a
p2-300 running freebsd 4.0. the load is always up around 5 or 6,
sometimes closer to 8 or 9, because there are always 300-400 apache
processes running. however, top reports that the processor is idle
about 30% of the time.
bottom line is that top doesn't mean anything about how busy the cpu is.
it's strictly a snapshot measure of how many processes are in a runnable
state (not sleeping). if you run the distributed net rc5 client, your
machine will always have a load over 1.0, because that process is
essentially always ready to run. that doesn't mean your machine is
overloaded, or that there are too many tasks to run.

Uhm.. with 86400 seconds to a day, your average throughpout should be
about 2mails/sec.
What you are stating here is impossible.

DEar,
I am using Pop3d, and i try telnet to port 110.
And then :
user alex

pass xxxx
-ERR this user has no $HOME/Maildir
Connection closed by foreign host.
Iam using redhat 6.1 + with sendmail and I uninstall sendmail with RPM
and I install qmail with RPM. What's wrong with my configuration?

What number am I thinking of?
Something's wrong with it, obviously. But it's awfully hard to tell what's
wrong with it when we you haven't told us what it is.
For starters, exactly how are you running qmail-pop3d? If from inetd, show us
the pop3 line from your inetd.conf file. If from tcpserver, show us how you're
starting it.
Chris
Dear,
Oh sori, That is work now:
I forget : maidirmake Maildir
then
I running from tcpserver (rc.d)
But, while send to my account and i retrive, I don't accept mail???

What does your logs says? That should be the first place you check.
Try monitoring your logs (eg. with tail -f) while you're sending the
mail and see where it goes.

You are probably using daemontools 0.61. The script snippet above is written
for daemontools 0.53.
There were a few name changes of programs between these versions, and
therefore it will be hard to reuse the snippet above without modification.
"setuser" has been replaced by "setuidgid", "cyclog" has been replaced by
"multilog", et c.
See Dave Sill's "Life with qmail", which probably is the most refererred
documentation around: http://Web.InfoAve.Net/~dsill/lwq.html

So to make it easy, could I just change all setuser command with setuidgid
all cyclog command with multilog
etc ?
like this below

I have seen messages posted on the mailing list regarding
qmail failing orbs tests etc. I do understand that it is not
a qmail problem, however, I would like to know if there is anyway
qmail can be configured to avoid being damned as an open relay by
these organizations?
Thankyou,
Kristina
------------------------------------------------------
The following is quoted from:
http://www.faqts.com/knowledge-base/view.phtml/aid/1198/fid/206/lang/en
Properly configured non-relaying qmail installations appear to fail some
simpleminded relay tests. These tests assume that if the SMTP server
doesn't reject MAIL/RCPT commands that could cause relaying in some
MTA's, that the tested MTA might relay them.
-------------------------------------------------------
Probably a petition to the orbs site by qmail admins to tell them
to make a factual test.

This is turning into an FAQ. Qmail does NOT fail any of the ORBS tests when
configured properly.

Orbs does test. It tries to relay a message back to itself. If that message
gets back, the box it tested is an open relay.
The situation where open relays are not marked as such because they are
using some specific mailer is highly unwanted. See how you react to the
following statement:
> Probably a petition to the orbs site by M$ Exchange admins to tell them
> to make a factual test.
The debate wether or not relay-testing is good is not one for this list. But
suggesting that relay-tests should be adapted to fit the most common
configuration-errors of qmail is the wrong solution to the problem.

and _only_ then.

That is something else. You are now considering the case where a box that

Hi all!
I mentioned this problem some weeks ago. Now I found a log entry as a proof
for it: the tcpserver sometimes allows connections from ip-numbers which are
not allowed. But why????? What can I do against it?

No it's not consistent. The reason qmail-local doesn't deliver when
the sticky bit is set, is that you might be in the process of writing
out a new .qmail-file.
Doing .qmail-updates atomically removes the need for sticky-bitness. Since
pop3 operations are atomic (in the updates they do anyway), and there is no
configfile for pop3 in the homedir, I disagree.

Hi,
They must be a easy way to do this, moving to something like vpopmail would
probably cause more problems. I've tried it before and they was very
little documentation.

Hi
this is to request help on canonical domain names setup for mail.
i have a client for whom we ahve setup canonical names for their branch
offices. the problem is that when a mail is send to a canonical doamin
email id the mail goes and resides into the main pop account of the
domain.
for ex.
=======
1) i have a domain abc.com
2) i have setup four canonical domains i.e. branch1.abc.com,
branch2.abc.com, branch3.abc.com & branch4.abc.com
3) when mails are sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] & [EMAIL PROTECTED] the
latter goes and resides in the main pop account of the domain abc.com i.e.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] whereas the earlier goes and resides properly in the
[EMAIL PROTECTED] pop account.
4) I have the same setup for all the four canonical names in the
virtualdomains file and the rcpthosts file as well as the aliases file.
somebody please mail a solution at the very earliest.
- Admin.

Hi,
I've just come across the turnmail on the qmail web site - it looks like
exactly like what I need. I've compiled serialmail and installed it
properly. I've tried quite a few things to get the script working but none
of them seem to work.
I'm starting pop3d at the moment with:
/usr/bin/tcpserver 0 110 /usr/sbin/qmail-popup
chef.praceng.co.uk /usr/bin/checkpassword /usr/sbin/qmail-pop3d Maildir &
I've copied the contents to /usr/sbin/turnmail and tried the following line
but no luck:
/usr/bin/tcpserver 0 110 /usr/sbin/qmail-popup
chef.praceng.co.uk /usr/bin/checkpassword /usr/sbin/autoturn &
Any ideas or tips how to get this working as its really bugging me! I've
copied the contents of the autoturn and pasted them below as I had to
remove one ; for the script to work.
#!/bin/sh
if [ -d Maildirdummy ]; then
/usr/bin/maildirsmtp $1 $USER- $TCPREMOTEIP `hostname` 2>&1 | logger -p
daemon.notice &
/usr/sbin/qmail-pop3d Maildirdummy
fi
exec /usr/sbin/qmail-pop3d $1
Can anyone help me or gives me some tips to getting it too work?
Thanks,
Chris
