How does one dump the contents of a Qmail?
That is emails that are waiting to be sent which are not going to be sent since they are bad emails so they are just stuck in the queue and are killing cpu resources, how does one tell Qmail to dump all unsent emails waiting in the queue?
I'm having a hard time figuring why me emails are not delivered to mailboxes.
A bit of context:
OS: Ubuntu 12
Plesk pannel: 11.5
This server was supposed to be a new server (upgrade) from a previous who was working correctly (Also Linux with Plesk but both older versions).
After new server installed and websited up and running, I decided to create mailboxes and then copied all mailboxes (including emails and folders) to this new server.
First issue I got was i could not connect, until I figure out permissions were incorrect (for root after copy) and fixed it to be accessible by "popuser" (each user to access his mailbox).
Now i can connect, but new emails stay on qmail and can't be delivered to mailboxes.
Even after I have deleted the emalboxes and recreate them (now new emails are being delivered) all those emails in the queue can't be delivered.
I forced queue flush with "postqueue -f" but I get errors on the log:
(temporary failure. Command output: .qmail has prog delivery but has x bit set. (#4.7.0) 4.2.1 Message can not be delivered at this time )...
Which user should i give permissions (if that is the case) so tha both popuser (email user) and qmail/postfix can write on the mailboxes and deliver messages?
I get an alert that The exim delivery queue size currently has 3000 emails in it waiting to be processed.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI can receive e-mails from another server, as well as another domain on this server. I can send e-mails to another domain on this server, but anything out to another server, gets stuck in the queue. I am using Plesk 7.0.2
Plesk Queue info shows:
Messages in queue: 0 not preprocessed, 0 local, 630 remote, 630 total.
In the maillog, I see " deferral: Sorry,_I_wasn't_able_to_establish_an_SMTP_connecti

after an outbound e-mail.
Thanks
Not by choice but I got a machine running qmail with vpopmail on it. The queue on this thing is ridiculously long and doesn't seem to be getting any smaller due to the large amounts of spam sent to several domains under it.
Most of the spam is coming in the form of a@domain.com aa@domain.com ect. So I figured rather than bounce the mail back to these non existent addresses rather go the route of /dev/null. Now for qmail you'd just do # but seems for vpopmail that does not work.
So my .qmail-default have the following currently:
/usr/local/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' /dev/null
Unfortunately it still sends mail back to the user who sent the mail but it sends it was delivered to /dev/null.
So any suggestions on to get that working and ways to manage this queue a heck of a lot better?
here is my problem.. i am running qmail on a plesk control panel. my load average around 15.. when i quit qmail it drops below 1.. when i clear out the queue it drops below 1, then it slowly starts rising back to 15.. i ignored my queue for a little while and it stacked up to 26k in the local queue and 1k in the local queue. overnight it builds up to 2k in the local queue and 12 in the remote.. i thought a php script was exploited so i tracked down every script using the mail function that i thought might be doing it and disabled them. i noticed some difference but the queue is still building up rapidly.. i also altered the /usr/sbin/sendmail so it will log all mail sent and that doesn't pose a problem as only 10 emails have been sent via /usr/sbin/sendmail in the last 24 hours. i also tested my server for open relays via abuse.net and it passed the open relay tests. what else could be happening? all the email in the queue is spam.. where is it coming from? some is being sent to users on the server and some is not.. i am at a total loss right now, and really need to get this problem solved. thanks for any help.....
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a server(godaddy) with plesk. It was all working well till 8 - 10 days ago. I didnt notice it one week later where I started receiving a lot of failed mail notices. Then on investigation, there were more then 50K spam mails in the mail queue and the mails that were supposed to be sent(registration, forgot password) were also held up in the queue. I found the source of the spam and fixed that.
Also I cleared the mail-queue. Now when I try to send out a test message, it still gets held up in the mail queue. But I can send a test mail to the same domain (info@mydomain.com). All new user registration mails are also held up and this is greatly affecting the site.
I have enabled the backup rotation of some websites to my "Personal FTP Repository", the problem is that Plesk is unable to do it due this error:
Code:
Unable to rotate dump: The dump rotation is failed with code '121' at /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/plesk_agent_manager line 1041.
I read here [URL] .... that it should be solved but I have the version 12.0.18 Update #33, why does it persist?
I have a VPS based on Hypervm+Lxadmin.
I want to limit each user to maximum 20 mails per hour. Is this possible? If yes, how do I do it?
I contacted the guys who I pay to watch over my linux Cpanel server and I do not think they know how to fix the problem. When I look in my mail queue manager in WHM I always see these spam type emails. I also see that my site IP gets blacklisted on:
[url]
I delist and then it appears again a couple of days later. My server is only used to send emails such as registrations and user notifications that they have subscribed to. Could anyone please tell me how to get rid of the spam?
I have loads of spam messages being sent from my VPS and I think one (or more) of the legit email accounts are used to send spam (either someone worked out the passwords or users of those accounts have malicious software installed on their machines.
How can I check which email accounts send which emails? Currently nothing is being logged by qmail (/var/log/mail* are empty).
1) What would you guys say is average in terms of the # of emails in the Mail Queue?
2) What steps can be taken to tighten it up? If I start with a clean slate, it only takes about a week or less for my mail queue to reach 1000 or more. Most of it seems like junk mail.
my Exim mail outgoing queue is getting stuck and i cannot receive emails. Under WHM i have 50 odd emails, some 7 days old.

Everything was fine until about 7 days ago, i dont know why the config didnt change but since then its been dropping received emails and queueing on sends.
All bounce emails are getting stack in queue (deferred). I tried a few suggestions I found around but nothing changed.

Everything on our Qmail installation is working fantastic except for one thing (most of the qmail patches are installed from [url]:
If a user sends an email to several recipients, often times, all users of the list will receive several copies (10 times or more) of the email.
So far I think the situation is that a user sends a weekly update (sort of mini mailing list to 20 users or so) by just adding them as BCC in their outlook.
Then I think one of the 20 emails bounces or throws back a deferral, and then qmail resends the email many many more times not only to the bounced recipient (but also to the entire list of recipients in the BCC)
im trying to delete emails sent to dbmaster@example.com. there are about 2000 emails like that in exim email queue

i have a fedora core 4 server.. and i want to install a good Qmail email server to host some emails of diferent domains..

Qmail itself
EZmlm and EZmlm-idx
Autoresponder
Vpopmail
VQadmin
maildrop
QmailAdmin
Courier-imap/imaps with Courierpassd

I love my current host. It's fast, has excellent support, uptime is great, and I get a lot of features. I'm paying $10 a month for it, though.
I'm thinking about moving to 1&1. Is this a bad idea? I had 1&1 about a year or two ago, but canceled it because I didn't end up building the website I ordered it for. Didn't have any issues, but the cancellation process was a pain. Nothing major, though.
The thing that 1&1 has going for is it is the price. $4 a month is a darn good deal.
That's 2.5x cheaper than my current host. I could save a lot of money. I know, you get what you pay for...
So am I being stupid? I don't use a lot of bandwidth (I used 1.5GB last month, and average less than 1GB), and my website hosts my software that I sell, so a lot of downtime is obviously bad. The only thing I see that's bad about the $4/month plan is no ssh access, which is really only convenience for me (I don't require it).
I am having a hosting account with old host which is limited to 10 GB, and there i am having a mysql Database which is of 2 GB, i want to move it to new host via SSH ... as that Database can not be downloaded via phpmyadmin due to its size.
So i want to "tar" the mysql directory and ssh/scp to new host!...
I am applying this command...
tar -cvf r.tar /var/lib/mysql/in_supp | ssh user@newhost.com
But i am getting errors,
Please give me a command which can move my entire Database dump to new server, without creating any copy at old server "as i do not have any space there"
How to dump all relaying email?
I have a domain that used to have a huge members list with thousands of email addresses. Now that I enabled its web site, the server attempts to relay email meant for those harvested addresses. Also, spam relayers picked up that the DNS is live and try to use the domain to deliver spam What can I do with the MX records in order to dump all email without the server handling it? Currently all email is set to :blackhole:
Files such as core.12762 keep appearing in the root web directory. Amount of core files appearing seems to be proportional to traffic. On average one core file per few million php requests.
Will appreciate advice on how to troubleshoot this issue, or how to disable the core dumping. As it is one error per few million requests it does not seem significant enough to spend several hours troubleshooting.
This seemed like the most appropriate place so I decided to post here.
SYSTEM:
Fedora Core 4, 3GHz, 2GB RAM
Postgres 8, Apache 2, PHP 4
The issue is that I have with me a 1.5GB SQL dump from Postgres 8 which I extracted using pg_dump.
Restoring it seems to be an issue on this PC. I've tried modifying memory directives in postgresql.conf as well as the kernels SHMAX value but no go.
I tried a bunch of other things such as gzipping the file so that it was only 100mb and doing:
Code:
gunzip -c dump.sql.gz | psql my_db
But I recieved many errors saying "invalid command N" and I also got a syntax error notice and the process terminated.
I tried to at least try and enter some data manually but vim is incredibly slow since this is a 1.5GB file.
Is there a way I could perhaps split up my db dump and then import them into the db one by one?
I am trying to configure CPLinks, anyone know where can I find such category dumps or do I need to key in one by one? Tried to contact cplinks side for the dumps but no response. Do let me know if anyone had prepared such dumps.

How to import mysql dump file to database by SSH?
How to import mysql database host to other host database by SSH?
recently I had problems with backing up my ~150mb database through PHP. And I know some people are backing their databases to a dump file through terminal.
My database contains UTF-8 and other characters. I have tried simply dumping with mysqldump but I doesn't seem to work, when restoring all the characters are messed up.
Is there any command to tell that the database is UTF-8?
After successful creation of a full backup, pmm-ras hangs forever (100% CPU) while trying to export the dump to FTP. I have two identical Plesk 12.0.18 installations and this happens only on one of them.
I see the following in /opt/psa/PMM/sessions/*/.stderr:
Use of uninitialized value in numeric eq (==) at /opt/psa/admin/bin/plesk_agent_manager line 827.
