[vchkpw] Disabling bounce messages
I'm looking for a way to disable bouncing (ALL bouncing, not just double-bounces) temporarily for a group of domains on one our mail servers that is causing some problems. I'm hoping there is a way to do this globally (as in NOT editing ALL the /.qmail-default files, as there are many). Does anyone know of any way to do this without going into each virtual domain and editing the .qmail-default file there? That would be a lot of work, and especially bad since it would all need to be undone in a few days anyway. Any help appreciated. Google is full of answers to people using non-vpopmail setups, but little info seems to be out there for vpopmail setups on a large-ish scale. -Bill * Waveform Technology UNIX Systems Administrator

Write a simple script to run over the list, run vdominfo to give you the directory the domain is in, copy the existing .qmail-default to a backup location (best if it's in the same directory.. cp .qmail-default to qmail-default-backup or something, pay attention to the lack of a .) then write a new .qmail-default file with the proper command to disable bounces. -Jeremy -- Jeremy Kitchen ++ Systems Administrator ++ Inter7 Internet Technologies, Inc.

Quick email on some fixes to bugs in vpopmail...
I'm working on a change to the vpopmail CVS tree
including changes in the storage of quota-related variables.
This change will eliminate use of signed values, and increase
data-size capabilities in quota usage retrieval.
Does anyone have any input or comments on this before I commit the
changes?

[vchkpw] Spamassin configuration
I'm currently upgrading my mail server and am installing simscan. Simscan claims that there is an option to configure vpopmail with spamassassin option: --enable-spamassassin (http://www.qmailwiki.org/Simscan/Guide) The allows vpopmail user options so individual users can set their own perferences. I can't find this configure option anywhere, but would like to consider it. Does anyone have any information on this? Thanks, ron = Ron Dyck [EMAIL PROTECTED] webbtech.net =

Doesn't really matter if it breaks it or not since (1) 99%+ of the bounces are spam anyway and spammers have never been big on RFC compliance, and (2) this is a temp fix I need to have in place for a few days until the system can be taken down to fix the problem "properly" (chkuser needs to be installed, along with a vpopmail upgrade and some db tweaks). > Sorry Bill, short of writing a shell script to change the .qmail-default > files automatically I don't know of any method. That's what I ended up doing. I was hopeful maybe there was some magic feature like /vpopmail/alias/.qmail-global-default or something like that :-) No big deal to write the script, there are maybe 30 domains or so on the box in question. It's behind our MX frontends and has been getting Spamcop angry with misdirected bounces. I needed a quick fix to appease Spamcop and get the users to stop yelling at me since I don't have the time to do a "real" fix for a few days. > Ann Arbor, MI 48104 Wow, you're local(ish)!

I do know a few people do run the 5.5 series in production but I do not recommend it unless you are reading the vpopmail-dev list and are prepared to debug some code.

[vchkpw] High load average with new Shupp Toaster and chkusr 2.x
Evening All, I figured I'd upgrade my qmail/vpopmail installation this evening to upgrade to chkuser 2.x (specifically for quota and MX checking). I followed Bill's toaster as usual and installed the new version. My load avg going from an old toaster with chkuser 0.8 (or so) to the new version went from 0.50 on avg, to 20.00+ with the new version with all the processes using the CPU being qmail-smtpd. It's a standard vpopmail install (5.4.x) using cdb but qmail running as root (as I have some domains in their own directory for domain quota reasons). I usually have 40 - 60 incoming connections at any given point with about 100K delivery's per day. Any ideas why the load avg of qmail-smtpd would shoot so high with the new version of chkusr or perhaps Bill's toaster ? Regards, Rick

Be sure to grab the latest version listed on SourceForge as 'stable'. I consider some of the 5.4 releases as 'devel' because they incorporate significant changes. Once a release has been out as 'devel' for awhile with a significant number of downloads (and no scary bug reports), I'll re-classify it as 'stable'. -- Tom Collins - [EMAIL PROTECTED] QmailAdmin: http://qmailadmin.sf.net/ Vpopmail: http://vpopmail.sf.net/ You don't need a laptop to troubleshoot high-speed Internet: sniffter.com

I wrote the code since we needed to support per user spamassasin preferences. At Tom's request I put it in the 5.5 development version. We run a 5.5.1 version production with no problems. I think it's about time we merged this feature into the 5.4 release. Any objections? Ken Jones inter7.com
