Is it safe to use multilog to send log files to an NFS mounted disk? I
want to centralize the logging of a large number of QMAIL machines (50+
hosts) to a central log server. So far it has been done using syslog
sending info to a dedicated @loghost but we are seeing loss of data at
high loads.
The only comment in the multilog docs is:
"Beware that NFS, async filesystems, and softupdates filesystems may
discard files that were not safely written to disk before an outage"
Besides this failure mode (which syslog also suffers from), and there
any other restrictions to logging over NFS with multilog?
Thanks,
--curtis
p.s. Sorry if this thread has been discussed before but I haven't found any
previous discussions in any of the archives.

No, altho performance might be disappointing - you will have to try that
for yourself.

It seems to me that the right balance between the two would be to
multilog to local files, and once a log is rotated out of current, move it
to your central NFS. You won't have a perfectly up-to-date snapshot on your
NFS disk, but it'll fix the performance issue.
I haven't poked, but as I read http://cr.yp.to/daemontools/multilog.html
you could probably automate this using !processor.
Alternately, have cron job move all the rotated multilog files once an
{hour,day,week,whatever}.

yes it works with vpopmail.
put the emailaddress in control/badmailfrom and qmail won't accept mail
from this email-address.

Does anyone care to share ideas on how to implement the folowing:
We are using RBLSMTPD to block mail from RBL/DUL/RSS/ORBS,
but are on the brink of TAGing some of these mails.
Our first plan is to remove ORBS from RBLSMTPD and add "unknown" methods
to send a REALYCLIENT="@orbs.spam" causing all mail from ORBS-listings
to be handled by a .qmail-orbs:spam-default.
If we can do this then our .qmail-orbs:spam-default wil do the folling things:
./ORBS.SPAM/
|/spam/bin/warnENVELOPFROMof24hourdelay
|/spam/bin/warnENVELOPRCPTof24hourdelay
|/spam/bin/warnPOSTMASTERofOpenRealy
Then maildirserial will run every hour sending all mail older than 24 hours.
If you know any "unknown" methods than will help us accomplish this,
we would be very grateful for you insight and tips you can give us/me.
BTW: the .qmail-orbs:spam-default is symbolic,
it will look different when it is finished!

Hope someone can help.
Have [EMAIL PROTECTED] as my catchall account.
The @foreverkate.net, foreverkate.org, katewinslet.net, and
katewinslet.org are also caught by [EMAIL PROTECTED] (they are
overlaid to my main account of foreverkate.com)
What I want to do is:
any @katewinslet.net be forwarded to my POP account of
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
any @katewinslet.org be forwarded to my POP account of
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
any @foreverkate.net be forwarded to my POP account of
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
any @foreverkate.org be forwarded to my POP account of
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
I need to accomplish separate POP accounts for each of my domains.
Running a cgi mail script that needs to check a separate POP box for
each domain. Trying to accomplish this without making these domians
separate accounts. My hosting company suggested using the qmail filters
to do this.
Thanks to any one who can help!

Define "catchall," "caught," and "overlaid." How exactly is all this set up, in
qmail language?

This is basic qmail virtual domains stuff. Read the documentation.

What are "the qmail filters"?
> Thanks to any one who can help!
I don't think anyone can help when your question is so vague and poorly defined.
My recommendation would be to read the qmail documentation in the distribution
tarball and "Life with qmail" (http://web.infoave.net/~dsill/lwq.html). Try to
set things up the way you want them, and if you fail come back to the list and
tell us what you did and how it failed to do what you want. Then someone will
be happy to tell you how to fix things.

You're not getting it, dude.
Your DNS setup is broken. Your nameservers return server failure when
looking up an A record for movielink.net.au. It's OK to not have an
A record for a domain you want to receive mail. It's not OK to return
SERVFAIL when looking up an A record.

Your problem has nothing to do with reverse lookups. Those machines
should not be rejecting your email outright, however you do need to
fix something in the dns for the movielink.net.au zone.

Put the domain name it resolves to into control/helohost.

Well, it's your shell that displays that message. Has nothing to do
with qmail. It's just reads the modification time of the file.
"You have mail" is different than "You have new mail."
I'm clueless as to how a qmail install could change this behavior.

I have just installed QMAIL from fresh tar.gz.
Now I'd like to set up a POP daemon.
Someone can point me to documentation?
I noticed in /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d... but how can I call it to answer
at 110 port?
Best regards,
Miguel Beccari

/usr/src/qmail-1.03/FAQ should do. Or www.qmail.org, I can suggest the link
to Live with qmail by Dave Sill, it's excellent.

I got this from the FAQ:
tcpserver 0 110 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup FullyQualifiedDomainName \
/bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir &
I added this for pop3 over ssl(www.openssl.org):
/usr/local/sbin/stunnel -d 995 -r localhost:110
I tested above with Netscape 6-pre using secure pop3.

Are there new RPMs for ucspi-tcp and daemontools? I looked on the site
and there doesn't seem to be anything there. I used the RPM method to
install them in the first place, so I'd like to continue doing so as
opposed to using the tarballs.
If there are none, who can I contact regarding them or should I just make
my own? If so, then for the sake of others, who should I send them to in
order to make them available?

Beats me.

Well, I'd say try to contact the creator of the ones you're running. To get
them to others, just post here and Russ will probably link them on
www.qmail.org.

I received a lot of bounce messages from man sites about a user who
doesn't exits on my site. I suppose someone use an address with my domain
to send mass-mailing and spam. There is a way to prevent this kind of
problem? or the only way is to filter the incoming messages (bounce from
other site)?
thanks anyone can help me.
Giovanni:)
