Anwering to myself... not really. The problem went away temporarily. When load goes up again, it comes back. So my last attempt was to rebuild vpopmail with these 2 more ./configure options: --enable-file-locking=n --enable-logging=n It's not the best thing to do, but well, we're moving all data off from this server to a new server as scheduled earlier. :) Cheers, Kittiwat

[vchkpw] virtual domain limit in /var/vpopmail/domains ?
Hi list, Running vpopmail 5.2.1 we noticed the following: We have 17287 virtual domains in /var/vpopmail/domains and new domains are now placed in /var/vpopmail/domains/0/ (100 in total) and /var/vpopmail/domains/1/ (65 at this moment). Is there a maximum per directory ? And, if yes, the maximum is?

[vchkpw] Re-injection of email from .qmail-default
We've have searched the mailing lists archives on this list and several other but have not found the answer to this question. Maybe someone can advise. We would like to know if it is possible to re-inject mail for delivery by smtp after vpopmail has dropped it into a domain's .qmail-default file. Basically, we're trying to setup a mailserver that stores messages for some domains but routes messages by smtp for others AFTER performing some operations on them by commands within the .qmail-default file. We do not want to forward the messages to an email address but instead want to route them using smtp to another mailserver willing to accept email for that domain. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Best Regards, Jeff Koch

You shouldn't store them in '.qmail-default', but in a Maildir where .qmail-default directs them to (it would be unwise to store them in the file containing /the/ delivery instructions). With this setup you can send the mails in this Maildir out via SMTP by using 'maildirsmtp' tool from 'serialmail' package[1]. This should be sufficient according to what you've written, IF you don't mind "performing some operations" on multiple files (as Maildir stores each mail in a new file) instead of one 'Mailbox' file.

[vchkpw] HTML Autorespond

Eduardo P. Román O. writes: > Hi, i need to do an autorespond but in HTML, qmailadmin now can do > autorespond with text mail only (i think). Be warned, this is an autoresponder designed to respond to ANYTHING (well, it has some checks against responding to mailing lists and the like). It is there purely to provide an "We have received your query and one of our team of highly-trained monkeys will deal with it shortly." For that purpose it is reasonably adequate. Do NOT use it for vacation messages. If it encounters somebody else also using some other braindead vacation responder then it will rapidly generate zillions of mails. The autoresponder that comes with maildrop is a lot more flexible and can be told not to repeat the response to the seme sender within a specified period of time, so it can be used for vacation messages as well as ordinary autoresponders. When used with maildrop itself, you can then set conditions on if it should respond or not, useful when you have something like sales@ being aliased to user1@, user2@, etc. So you'd have a filter that did not invoke the responder if the mail was sent to sales@ but would invoke the responder if the mail was sent directly to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > I want use this tools but to do autorespond in html format. You would have to modify it to insert the appropriate MIME header and then format the content accordingly. Look at the MIME RFCs for further details. You would probably also want to add a switch to turn the MIME header on and off so it can also be used for plain text messages. You would probably also want to pass the HTML through lynx with appropriate options to generate alternative plain text for those whose mailers cannot handle HTML. And then you need to buy some protective clothing for when all those who HATE mail with HTML in it go after you with cluebats... -- Paul Allen Softflare Support

well, i have this from the source (bigdir.c).
it looks like the maximum of users/domains per directory is 100 (it's
defined in vauth.h : MAX_USERS_PER_LEVEL 100)
this seems to match your /[0-9]/ subdirectories. Ho you ended up, having
that enormous amount in your domain root dir, is somewhat more
difficult:
it looks like, vpopmail counts domains per directory and uid.
meaning: you can add 100 domains for user customer1 ('vadddomain -u
customer1 domain.com') and they all are created in /var/vpopmail/
domains/
then you add another 100 domains for user customer2 ('vadddomain -u
customer2 domain.com') and they also get created in /var/vpopmail/
domains/
so, i assume, in your case, you have at least 173 different system users
with an average of almost 100 domains per user.
