[vchkpw] vpopmail 6 wiki

2007-10-07 Thread Rick Widmer
I have created a wiki on SourceForge for the vpopmail version 6 project. 
 I have copied much of the email discussion from this and the 
vpopmail-devel list into the wiki, and done a little cleanup.  Lots more 
needs to be done.


   http://vpopmail.wiki.sourceforge.net/


I suggest work on the api documentation, and the changes list happen on 
the vpopmail-devel list, and once a consensus is reached recording the 
result in the wiki.



If you want a say in the next major version of vpopmail, please join us 
over on the sourceforge vpopmail-devel list.

Hi Tren,

Sorry. My english is not good :).

My server is dual xeon 2.4 with 2 Gb RAM and HD SCSI 73 Gb.
I have problems with delivery delay when my server is with many 
connections POP3 and SMTP.
I use isoqlog to analyze my email traffic, but I don´t have stats of POP3 
and connections with my SMTP (RBL, no delivery, ...). Exists any software 
to analyze POP3 and SMTP log?

When my server is slow, I have:
SMTP concurrent: 40 - 50
POP3 concurrent: 20 - 30
Load Average: 30 - 40

I have many SMTP connections with "not existing recipient".

My server was very good. Between last monday and last friday it is very 
slow.

How can I identify a possible attack?

Thank you
Joao

Hello,

I am working with qmail toaster by http://www.shupp.org/toaster/.
Is it the better performance instalation?

My server is very slowly :(


You'll need to give something specific here.  Bill Shupps Toaster is 
widely popular.  I use it myself and have no issues with performance. 
What are the specifications of the hardware you've implemented it on. 
What specifically is performing slow?  Is there anything else on this 
server?  Approximately how many mailboxes are housed on this server?  How 
many deliveries per second/minute/hour/day (whatever is easiest to 
convey) and do you have any idea what your peak concurrent deliveries 
are?  You need to provide as much information as possible before asking 
such a general question.


Regards,

Tren

qmailmrtg7 is a graphing tool for qmail/pop3/dnscache etc.  You can find 
it at http://www.inter7.com

Are you running SA and Clam on the same machine ?

Also, are you running the update_tmprsadh nightly (if your not it has to 
generate a new key for every encrypted connection).




I have many SMTP connections with "not existing recipient".



If that message is in the smtpd log, that's fine.

You may also want to look at decreasing your timeoutsmtpd, put 180 or 
something similar in /var/qmail/control/timeoutsmtpd to change the 
default of 7200 (this will stop the spam zombie who hang around just 
using up a connection slot).

slow.

Hope the above helps.

Re: [vchkpw] Vpopmail mysql and aborted clients

2007-10-07 Thread egoitz
Yes it really goes ok... and now for example the server has a uptime of
more or less 110 days... I have never had to restart courier-imap package
(wich I use for pop and imap services) and seems to be running ok... so
this is normal then? and I shouldn't change nothing then? or is it
advisable to increase mysql timeout?? or I could stay as I'm now?

Thanks a lot :) :)
