Yes, without problems. But also without big impact :)

You only need as much time as it takes to check the qmail log.

Does it send mail ANYWHERE (except bounces to the envelope sender) in response
to the "tests"? No? Then you're NOT an open relay and the "test" you used
doesn't Get It(tm).

That "someday" will be the day you check your logs.

quick outline:
- you want high availability, so you might want storage servers such as
  a netapp f740 or up; those boxes export the fs as nfs
- you probably want toasters, so you got to implement a multi tier
  architecture with more than one resource server (netboot/ldap/...)

    |                 |             |
    |                 v             |
    \----------------popsrv[0..n]<--/
                       |   ^
                       v   |
              {mails/pop} {mails/smtp}
                (client side)
                     

mr      mail router (qmail with smtproutes for popdomains)

pop-in  inbound mailer that stores Maildir boxes on storage

storage nfs storage array w/ raid, dual head or anyway redundant

ressrv  resource servers with ldap for recipient/mbox mapping and
        netboot server for the toasters, contains configuration for all

popsrv  pop3 server for the clients to use, asks ldap for auth and has
        smtp dumbfire to the mail router

the boxes all netboot from the ressource servers, the network has to be
split into 2 internal and 2 external portions, carefully meshed/crossed.
this is darn expensive but should be sufficiently resilient against
outage of each component... i omitted the mx-out stuff since this
depends on your mail routing setup. this virtually is contained in
mr[0..n] in this picture... you might think about qeueing mails via
qmqp, having an inbound server array and an outbound server array. the
outbound server array will have spool, so the spool has to be a raid,
too.

this is just a quick outline of a setup i implemented for one of the
customers of my former employer.
ideas? comments?

You could also use EMC storage as a back-end, not cheap but very
flexible and reliable.

You could also look at an appliance device like those from
Mirapoint ...

Hi,

As per the FAQ, I try to set up host masquerading (I'm inside a NAT'ed
LAN) like this:

root:/var/qmail/control # ls -l
total 5
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root           16 May  5 21:49 defaulthost
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root           54 May  4 11:55 locals
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root           14 Mar 30 16:00 me
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root           14 Mar 30 16:00 plusdomain
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root           38 Mar 30 17:05 rcpthosts

root:/var/qmail/control # cat defaulthost
[213.97.212.86]

However, look at the From: header of this message :(

Please CC to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (that's my public IP address), since I

This is most likely a client problem.  You need to configure your 
client to use the correct address.  BTW, you didn't show the contents 
of the rest of the control files...  At any rate, the Message-id of 
your email looks like this:

Message-id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

So, either you have misconfigured qmail or your outgoing mail server is 
not your qmail server...

Can anyone here point me to some documentation on setting up qmail+fetchmail over a 
dialup line?
I know this is quite simple; I found a decent howto on Google's cache (the original 
not being available) some time ago and it worked perfectly.
It covered everything I needed, installing qmail and it's required 
programs, creating pppdir, ip-up.local etc.
Frankly looking at the LDP HOWTO is worse than useless.

Thanks

Hi to all...


 I've a problem with vpopmail... I create a virtualdomain named
ir2ip.archivio.it and under  /home/vpopmail/domains/ir2ip.archivio.it/
I can see the user account I've created with qmailadmin... there is no
problem with them... i can send an email  to an another  user (I've
created 2 user for my tests) via web and read it... but qmail-pop3d
search user-dir under /home... and when I login via pop3, I never see
the mails for the user created with qmailadmin...

anyone can help me ?

73 de iw2lsi, Giampaolo







Does qmail-pop3d call vchkpw? Paste the script you are using to launch
qmail-pop3d (should be /service/qmail-pop3d/run if you're using svscan)

A lot of lists do this, and I never realized the downside.  Thanks for
the link; I will bear that in mind.

         Hello.

         I have patched Qmail 1.03 with the Frederik Vermeulen's patch for 
SSL and works: encripts the messages I send from my Eudora to may Qmail
server.

         I have patched Qmail 1.03 with the qmail-smtpd-auth-0.26 and also
works: I can send messages to recipients outside my server if I 
authenticate with Qmail-smtp (using Cram-md5 with my Eudora).

         But when I tried to apply the two patches to Qmail sources (first 
the TLS patch and then the AUTH), the second patch rejects parts of the
AUTH patch. I tried to apply manually the parts of the patch that
were rejected, but the resultant qmail-smtp didn't allow authenticate
nor encript.

         Anyone has applied the two patches correctly or can make Qmail
support TLS and SMTP AUTH?

         Thanks.
