[qmailtoaster] qmailtoaster - why?

This is a genuine question, and not intended as a provocation: why do you use qmailtoaster, and why do you choose a qmail-based solution over a stack based on, say, postfix or another MTA? I ask because I'm reaching the point where I need to rebuild my own main server (I backed the wrong horse, bu

[qmailtoaster] fail2ban and 'null password given'

If you're smart, you're probably running 'fail2ban' (or something similar) on your qmailtoaster to block password-guessing attempts. You may also have used the rules given at:     http://wiki.qmailtoaster.com/index.php/Fail2Ban to configure it. This morning I happened to check my logs and dis

Re: [qmailtoaster] Getting multiple copies of emails

I've seen duplicate emails when the server is very heavily loaded. If you had any runaway processes that were causing loads to spike, you could get duplicates. Angus On 2019-05-31 09:34, Peter Peltonen wrote: In the past I remember this kind thing happening with the old Courier IMAP. Upgra

Re: [qmailtoaster] Mailing list -- frontend web

I have used mailman on a qmailtoaster host. I never loved it. Everything about it, from the UI to the general technical approach, seemed to be stuck in about 1996. However, once I'd got it set up and working, it did the job and needed very little attention. I'd like to think that there's som

Re: [qmailtoaster] Simultaneous pop3 connections from two devices

I doubt a single user would ever need 256 simultaneous connections, but -- judging by the name -- the setting might specify the number of connections allowed from a single IP, which would be different. If you had a large number of users on a NAT'ted network, so that they looked to the server a

I'm running a fairly ancient qmail (netqmail-1.0.5, according to the manual) on CentOS 5, and I'm starting to get bitten with increasing frequency by the 'CNAME lookup failed temporarily' bug. I urgently need to build a new host with an up-to-date OS and the latest version of qmail and move ev

I’m in the process of setting up a new qmailtoaster box for the first time in many years, and I’m checking over the install scripts. It looks like Eric has done an amazing job of packaging the process. My tool of choice for system administration now is Ansible (https://www.ansible.com/), which

What log file are those messages from? Are they from '/var/log/maillog'? If so, you might look at /var/log/qmail/smtp/current to see if it offers anything you can use. On my system, spamdyke lines in that log include: origin_ip: 1.2.3.4 so if these attacks cause text to be written to that

I’ve been running a QMT server on a CentOS 5 VPS for a while, and I’m now looking to migrate it to a newer host. What’s the currently-preferred platform? CentOS 6, or CentOS 7? Are there any other special requirements? Also, I know that in the absence of Eric Shubart, Eric Broch has been doing
