    email archiving

    I've been trying to find articles on archiving emails in qmail, but can't find anything helpful. How do I keep a copy of every email that goes through our server (including outgoing if possible)?

    Failover suggestions

    Whats a good failover idea for qmail? We have another office about 20 miles away - I was thinking of getting a static IP on that DSL connection, and deploying a linux/qmail setup with the same domains/email accounts as the main server, and adding it as a backup MX record in DNS, but it seems to...

    POP access slow across local network

    I've got qmail/vpopmail running, with a tcpserver daemon listening on port 110 for POP access (with vchkpw as the PAM). For some reason, POP access across the local network is slow as molasses, but POP access from across the internet is almost instantaneous - any idea's? P.S. I've got clients...

    Some quick qmail questions

    1. Does qmail resolve domain names before looking in 'locals' and 'virtualdomains' when receiving an SMTP connection? That is to say, when it receives a connection does it wait to receive the 'rcpt' command before a DNS resolve occurs, and also when it attempts to deliver the email message...

    djbdns kills qmail?

    Am I the only one having this problem: I installed djbdns on my qmail server, and it completely kills pop and smtp access to our server. I can't even telnet into it via smtp. Basically, if I configure my the nameservers on my qmail server to be localhost(127.0.0.1), it kills pop and smtp...

    Unbelievable DNS issues

    I recently installed the smtp-auth patch into qmail. Everything works great on that end. The problem I'm having is, some mail just sits in the queue and goes no where. I have a bellsouth.net email address, and when I send myself test messages, I get them all day long. But when people at the...

    qmail and virtual domains

    A tip for newbies (something I found out today), qmail processes 'locals' before 'virtualdomains'. So if you are running vpopmail (with of course, virtual domains), and all of your vdomains are listed in 'locals', mail won't get delivered! I figured that out today, the hard way (after about 6...

    How to test for Open Relay

    I finally got around to configuring my home server for SMTP-Auth. it seems to work fine, and does not seem to be an open relay (I ran some free tests on the internet). I also ran a telnet test: mail from: <john@smith.com> 250 ok rcpt to: <slylos@yahoo.com> 250 ok quit 221 closing connection...

    qmail attacked?

    I ran 'qmailctl stat' on our freshly installed qmail server at work. I found that there were 36 messages in the outbound queue. However, it appears none of those emails were addressed to any users on any of our domains. What am I missing? Why would qmail accept these messages, and then stick...

    qmail/vpopmail backup suggestions

    I've got qmail/vpopmail running at work (I just deployed it!! brand new installation!!) But of course I'm concerned with backups (I'm more than concerend, I'm scared! I'm still slightly above a newb at qmail). What is a good backup scheme for these programs? FYI I'm running SuSE 9.1 as the...

    configuring qmail for open relay via SMTP authentication

    I've got a qmail server in Vero Beach, FL. I will be setting up an office in Orlando, FL in about a month that will have email and everything hosted on our Vero Beach server (about 100 miles south, so won't be on the same IP subnet). I'd like for them to use SMTP relaying on our server, so I...

    qmail general questions

    I'm just wondering if softlimit is set in bytes, or kilobytes - i.e. Is 35,000,000,000 35 megabytes or is 35,000,000 35 megabytes? Also, what about setting quota's for each user?

    emails seem to take forever to arrive

    I installed qmail-scanner/clamav/spamassassin last night and tried sending email to it using my yahoo account. I sent 1 and it arrived ok. I sent 2 more around 1:00 am and they didn't arrive until this morning. So tonight I was working on it again and the same thing happens: I send 1 and it...
