How do I keep a copy of all incoming and outgoing mail messages?
Answer: Set QUEUE_EXTRA to "Tlog\0" and QUEUE_EXTRALEN to 5 in extra.h.
Recompile qmail. Put ./msg-log into ~alias/.qmail-log.
You can also use QUEUE_EXTRA to, e.g., record the Message-ID of every
message: run
| awk '/^$/ { exit } /^[mM][eE][sS][sS][aA][gG][eE]-/ { print }'
from ~alias/.qmail-log.

Why we don't use mySQL is because it would kill the mySQL database with the number of pop3 connections our users do. It's a cluster with 4 nodes running qmail+vpopmail and 2 NFS servers. Look at the attached 'dia' layout (the program 'dia' can be found at freshmeat.net). This is not a final layout, we already have plans to use LDAP to auth. our users and decentralize our servers, but vpopmail's LDAP module is not ready yet for it (ie: you can't create users or split them over several machines/cluster of machines).

Global admin
Hello everyone, I just want to tell you all that I am working now on a global admin, where you can add domains, add alias domains, delete domains, change the .qmailadmin-limits file and change the password for the postmaster (without knowing the current one). I know that this is a very wanted features, and I'll do my best to create a good tool. Basically I'll take the current version of qmailadmin (0.32) and strip out all the normal user administration stuff. The reason why I do this is that I don't want to re-invent the wheel here, re-use as much code as I can. This way the some code can be shared as well, keeping it easier to maintain (hopefully anyway). As this could be a mayor security risk (the CGI _has_ to be suid root for an example, and the power it give quite impressive - it sure can ruin your day if there is any mistakes using it) I am thinking about enforce SSL encryption so at least the password won't leak out. I need your co-operation to test it out, do code audit's and give me general feedback. I'd also grateful if someone could come up with a nice user interface, based on the current qmailadmin interface - and a web page (my interest will be on coding =) ).. In the beginning it will be a strip down qmailadmin 0.32 version, with domain administration instead of user administration. I'll place the project at sourceforge so anyone can help us out, hopefully there will be a snapshot/release at inter7.com's page as well to link the things together. I am hoping to get Ken's blessing over this project, making it a part in the vchkpw suite. Now to the technical questions: I haven't seen any function in the API that will return me all the domains the vchkpw authorization module is taking care of. Am I blind, or do we need to add it to the API? If so, what do you think would be the right approach to glob all the domains? Ken, if you don't mind - could I use qmailadmin mailing list for this project, or would you like to keep them separated? Best regards Michael Boman PS Expect to see something in the beginning of next week, planning to work on this during the weekend. DS PPS Ken, wouldn't it be time to clean out all the super-postmaster code from qmailadmin? It's not in use, and you have indicated that you want a separate program and therefor have no plans to use it at all. And by removing the code we get a smaller binary AND less code to maintain. This should result in fewer possibilities of security risks. I'll send you the alfa's and beta's as soon as I made them work. And as soon as my sourceforge account has been activated I'll keep my work there. DDS -- W I Z O F F I C E .

Basicly, the C compiler on FreeBSD is a bit more sensitive then Linux dito.. If you want to remove it you could change all the mktemp() to mkstemp() as they work the same way (from a programming point-of-view), or you can just ignore the warning.

Reflections of what needs to be done..
EZMLM ISSUES: = The last few weeks the main questions has been the mailinglist, and as I wrote the original patch I feel somewhat responsible for it - even if it is AS-IS / worksformeware. First, I think the ezmlm package the qmailAdmin's homepage is pointing as should be patched with the idx patch (I belive ezmlm and idx is both released under GPL and therefor it's not a legal matter, but I can't find any copyright information about ezmlm). Second I think it's time to hack the ./configure script to have --enable-idx (or something simmular) that can either make the mailinglists produce the current (0.3x), or the old 0.26 behavor (ie: with or without IDX support. This should include copy the correct template file during "make install" process). I'll make these changes to my globaladmin right away. AUTORESPONDER ISSUES: = Another thing has been the auto-responder issue. I belive that updating the auto-responder to the one Matthias Henze <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> have done is apropiate, and modify qmailAdmin to make use of the options you can supply to it. GLOBALADMIN: GlobalAdmin is not really a fork of qmailAdmin yet, and not intedent to be. Im currently fixing those pices of code Ken put in there a long time ago and now have forgotten and don't want to use at the moment. The reson for the new name is that the CGI that globaladmin produces need's to be SUID root, and therefor is not suitible to use for user-administration, nor shouldn't be required to be installed to produce a normal qmailAdmin binary. All I need to know now is how do I upload files with CVS? =) Also as I am already inside the code and hacking I am fixing any kind of error I see. Ken: Would you like to have what I got now? It's not that much, but I'd say it's an improvment from what was there from the beginning =) I still have issues with adding/deleting/enter domains, and the edit code is not even there (hehe.. so much of an improvement). I've added the default WWW and cgi-bin locations for Debian as well so a ./configure can find the directories. QMAIL/VPOPMAIL AND MRTG: It's not that hard to get it produces nice graphs over how busy your SMTP/mail server is, but something I would like to see is MRTG friendly statitics on how busy your POP3 server is, and possible also if the output could be split out on a per-domain basis as well.. This is off-topic, I know, but it sure would impress the upper managment in any orginazation as well as give statitics so you can better plan for the future (maybe a separate POP3 box is needed in the next 3 months [for an example]). That's all I had to say for now Best regards Michael Boman -- W I Z O F F I C E .

I second that. Using maildrop syntrax in the filters would: 1) easy up the development work, as if I userstand things right we could a) use maildrop -or- b) use maildrop code. That way we don't need to re-invent the wheel. 2) SqWebMail is comming with maildrop filter editor in the next version as well.

Don't ask me why it does it as I am not able to answer the question. All Maildir based storage is moving mails from ./Maildir/new to ./Maildir/cur after it has been accessed.

If the domain you are sending to is a local/virtual domain - make sure it's listed in /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts. If the domain you are sending to is a remote domain, put your client IP in the tcp.smtp file for allowing it to relay throu your server. I suggest you take your time and read "Life with qmail". It's a very nice book released under the OpenContent licence. You can find a link to it on qmail's homepage (www.qmail.org). Best regards Michael Boman PS Please don't cross-post - it's VERY irritating to recive 2 emails.. Specially where one of the list is qmailAdmin, specialiced to take care of the qmailAdmin web-interface (user support, bugreporting etc). A mail to vchkpw at inter7 dot com is more then enough.. If you are afraid that you wont reach enough people, send it to qmail's mailinglist as well - but don't cross post, please.. THANKS!

The solution you can use right now (at this very moment) is create another user in the system, and install vpopmail as that user (ie: re-installing vpopmail, but as an different user). This will make vpopmail use yet another UID/GID and you can happely set a system quota on that user. Ofcourse the drawback with that is you use more diskspace for the binary (small price IMHO) and you have a setup that is a little harder to maintain. The future solution is that some of the programs (like vadddomain/vdeldomain etc) run as root (SUID root to be sure, even if I am against SUID programs). That way the vadddomain program could allow yet another parameter: username or UID of the domain. In this case you could have up to 64k domains with induvidual domain quota that is controlled by your OS - and therefor _should_ be less heavy on the vdeliver program. Ken, please let me know if this is something you will add to the code so I can make my GlobalAdmin make use of it as well.

No, that doesn't work. What you can do is mount your NFS in ~vpopmail
(alt. ~vpopmail/domains) or create a symlink to somewhere on the NFS
mount point.
> sqwebmail+vpopmail+NFS can work ?
Yes, works fine. Had some problem with NFS and sqwebmail thought. If you
run Linux visit nfs.sourceforge.net to update your nfs code in your
kernel, or choose a OS with better NFS support (BSD, Solaris etc).
Look into vpopmail + MySQL alt. vpopmail + LDAP. It will scale better
then vpopmail+cdb, but there are some tradeoffs (as usual).

No problem.

How is your start-up script for the pop3-server looking like? My guess would be that you still using checkpasswd as auth. program.

Changing the log format
Im am currently trying to find a delayed email and i come think of that the logs doesn't tell you who it tried to deliver to when it fails. Current the output from the log says: 2000-07-06 15:12:39.647534 delivery 10727: failure: Sorry,_no_mailbox_here_by_that_name._vpopmail_(#5.1.1)/ Would it be possible to include what account it tried to send to in the error message?

For 300k users I would suggest that you start building your cluster right away. I suggest following things: Use MySQL database. If you have to use vpopmail, use it with MySQL. You need atleast two of them in a active/passive state. The reson for this is that MySQL (and virtually any other service) likes to die under high load. If you are using CourierIMAP compile it with authdaemon. With 300k users you need some serious storage, have you solved that? For Webmail use something like IMP, where it's easier to scale it up. SqWebMail is nice, but you need to run a mailserver for each webmail server - maintainence headache's Separate SMTP and Storage/IMAP servers. With separate SMTP servers you can scale that a bit easier, add virus-scanning etc without killing the rest of your servers/services. Now, depending how much budget you have for this some (or all) of these things will happend. For further info pls send me a private email. And no, these things are _never_ a plug-and-play thing. I know. I am working with it in my day-to-day job now. /Mike -- Pager : out of order | On the contrary of what you may Mobile: (+65) 98 55 17 34 | think, your hacker is fully aware eMail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] | of your company's dress code.
