hello friends
what is qmqpc ? and for what purpose people are using it ?
i have set up qmail on three servers one running qmail and qmqpd daemon ,
which receives mails from out side world but its not able to send mails to
out side world
as per the docs that i have , i have doen following
1> i have configurd ~control/qmqpservers file on my gateway mechine
,and interior mail host which are also running qmail and qmqpd daemon this
mechine is supposed to accept mails from gateway mechine only
2> i have also created ~control/ldapcluster ,on my gateway mechine and
interior mechine , i am using only single ldap server is this
file required ?
3> and also ~control/idhost file also on both mechine , both of them r
running qmqpd daemon , but i think qmqpd needs to run only on gateway
mechine ? isn't it ?
4> created link from /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue which is pointing to
qmail-qmqpc
5> at last restarted qmail and qmqpd daemon
is following set up possible/recommended for production environment
sending and receiving millions of mails a day using qmail and qmqpc/qmqpd
etc
all these qmail host are using same LDAP server ,
host-1 host-2 ( running qmail-ldap )
host-1-1 host-2-2 host-3-3 ( running qmail-ldap )
host-1 and host-2 are MX for mydomain.com , they are in round robbin ,
after receiving mails for domain.com they shoul forward mails to host
where users mailstore is located ( it should get the host from
users ldap entries , qmqpc is capable of doing this ) , tareget host will
accept the mail and deliver it in to the users mailstore .
so for this kind of setup , where i need to run qmail,qmqpd,qmqpc and
what ~control/config files are mendatory
thanks

NIS was never designed to do such tasks.
What I currently do at vuurwerk.nl: we have a /conf structure that's
on our central fileserver, and that is mounted by just about all boxes.
A separate 'config' box (that has some other tasks too but doesn't handle
any customer-services) creates files in /conf/mail, for rcpthosts,
virtualdomains, users/assign and the like. These are updated from our
central mySQL every 10 minutes.
Each mailserver picks up it's information from this /conf also with 10
minute intervals. Any change will have reached all mailserver within 20
minutes, therefore.
Works for us :)
User homedirs are indeed mounted over NFS, but we're trying to get rid
of NIS as much as we can. The mailboxes using users/assign (and a
separate file for POP3 authentication using my own checkpassword module)
are a very good step forward in this respect.

Dears Dave and Friends
I need your help.
I have a problem with the quotas for my configuration....
I will like than the command ./vsetuserquota
make effect on the directory /usr/vpopmail/users
and also on /usr/vpopmail/domains/
I tried the command ./vsetuserquota and this no make effect on
/usr/vpopmail/users
In my system this directory is very important because
there are my principal users , these users have a authentification
of this way:
"user" and "password" and not "user%virtualdomain" and "password"
This for me is important.
Please, Can you say how should setup the quotas for users into
of /usr/vpopmail/users ?
Maybe I would have modific the script?
Please help me ..
and response as soon as possible
Thanks
and Regards from Lima

It sounds like your Perl program is either reaching the imposed memory
limits, or if there are none, is exhausting the system memory. That's a
very Bad Thing. ; )

Well, who impose memory limits?
I redirect mail messaje to a file on .qmail, like this:
| cat > ./messaje
then at shell execute: cat messaje | mynlyzerprogram
and all was Ok.
It can be the solution. How I can execute that command line for each
messaje that arrive to user postal???
Thank's

Hi!
I have been alarmed by a posting on linux-kernel that there are several
mail applications and MTA's that emit incorrect date/timestamp values.
I sent a test message using qmail-inject and found that timestamps are
generated using UTC but the correct timezone specification (UTC/GMT/+0000)
is missing. Instead the pseudo suffix -0000 is used which to my limited
knowledge means that the system has no knowledge about it's timezone.
Because mutt is emitting correct timestamps I do not suspect a
misconfiguration of my system.

This is a very frequently asked question.

No, that isn't the question he's asking. That's an answer to the question
"why doesn't qmail use the local time zone," which isn't the problem.
Thomas, the difference between +0000 and -0000 is that the former
indicates that the originating machine is physically in the Greenwich time
zone, whereas the latter indicates that the machine may be in any actual
time zone but the time was generated in UTC for some reason.
-0000 is therefore the correct time zone for what qmail is doing; +0000
would incorrectly imply that all qmail servers were running on machines in
England.
For more details, see:
<http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-drums-msg-fmt-08.txt>
| The form "+0000" SHOULD be used to indicate a time zone at Universal
| Time. Though "-0000" also indicates Universal Time, it is used to
| indicate that the time was generated on a system that may be in a local
| time zone other than Universal Time and therefore indicates that the
| date-time contains no information about the local time zone.

No - they are indeed going back as bounces to the user. The nice thing is
that prontomail/commtouch doesn't include the bounced message - just a
failure notice so people sending us mail "lose" their mail (no sent folder
either - brilliant!)

Exactly - the second mail server in California however serves a different
domain ddstorage.com which exhibits the same behavior (which is why I
posted here, seeing as the only obvious connection between the two is they
both run Qmail and Ezmlm). I'm pager notified if that mail servers' SMTP
service goes offline for more than 1 minute so I'm confident it is online
and reachable.
Chalk it up to large email providers being dumb? What can we do to
prevent this - backup MX records possibly?
Thanks for your help Aaron,
Brian
(I accidentally posted this to ezmlm@list rather than qmail@list, my
apologies!)
I have setup vpopmail on my server and I want to check my mail with Outlook
or Netscape. Has anyone been able to do this? Any help is greatly
appreciated.
