We encountered incredible hostility from a small minority, resentment or resignation from a larger minority, positive feedback from a significant minority. You'll need to examine what they can currently do with their mail clients and be able to offer similar functions or workarounds. One major lack in Squirrel is multiple address books. I have solved this by patching Squirrel to consult a table (we use database storage for addresses and preferences) to see which books are available to the user and providing external pages to allow staff to create, edit and share these books. The groups plugin is also not really what is needed for an organisation's single MUA, so I added another hack to Squirrel so that it treats address books (the additional ones created by users) as groups. This works by having an additional, virtual book that contains an entry for each real book, with a very funny e-mail address for each. We also use the Autocomplete plugin, so IE users can just type in the name of the book in the To/CC/Bcc boxes. Another piece of hackery then detects the book, strips it out and inserts the actual recipients. I really need to feed this back to the SquirrelMail community but I'm very busy and it requires some rewrites to the basic addressbook code. As for your hardware, I'd recommend going dual processor. Frees up a lot of bottlenecks. Put the IMAP mailstore and SquirrelMail on different servers and (if you can) put an extra NIC in both machines and give them a dedicated link on a special subnet. -- Bruce If the universe were simple enough to be understood, we would be too simple to understand it. --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.

We have a single Xeon CPU at the moment (3Ghz) but it does struggle a little at times (when performing large mail shots.) I've also found, for us at least, memory is also an issue. We currently have 512 and the server now and again goes into swap due to the sheer amount of concurrent users.

I hate challenge/response systems: they are lazy and inconsiderate, just shifting your own spam problem into other people's mailboxes. The TMDA developers, like some others, justify it by saying that their other techniques help limit the actualy number of challenges sent out but this just shows the uselessness of C/R. If other techniques can narrow down the "undecided" messages to just a few, you should review them yourself. If they can't, then TMDA will just help you become another idiot spammer. Quite a few mail admins of my acquaintance blacklist people who use C/R systems.

If I had to take a guess I would say to add 2 or maybe even 3 gigs of ram to this machine. Probly just adding more ram alone will solve alot of your problems. I am finding with this server that squirrelmail is pushing out its webpages faster than the client computer can handle it. I notice on the client computers when using SM that the cpu shoots up to 100% for a second or 2 like its getting bombarded with more information than it can handle. Or maybe this is becuse IE just cant handle it. I might try using firebird and see if I get the same results. Well if your server can handle 5000 users mine can sure handle 35 users no problem. this server never even brakes a sweat when I hit the showall in a mailbox that has say 500 emails in it.

I have it setup to use maildir. Dovecot claims to be the fastest and most secure. But I think anyone who is claiming to be the most secure is asking for trouble myself. It claims to use less memory than all of the other imap servers out there. It can user either virtual users or system users. I have it setup for now to use system users I can't justify spending 8 hours learning how to setup virtual users on a mail server this small. It is alot faster than uw-imap that is for sure. I have looked at both cyrus and courier. The complete blackbox setup that cyrus can do seems to be its major selling point. Courier I really liked the looks of and just might use inplace of dovecot unless I can find out if people are using dovecot in production environments. One of the last things I need to work on is the backup solution. I have not decided one way or the other how I am going to tackle this problem. I will be using tape backup for sure, but I am not sure if just using dump alone is enough.

[SM-USERS] squirrelmail imap problem
Hi everyone, I've been trying to get Squirrelmail running on my system, but I'm getting nowwhere with this particular error. I'm running squirrelmail on FreeBSD4.8, squirrelmail version 1.4.2 ERROR Error connecting to IMAP server: . 2 : No such file or directory I have imap enabled in inetd.conf. I'm not seeing any error messages in my apache log, or in maillog. It looks like the login process doesn't actually get to the point where it tries to log in. It just "fails" the login without actually checking the uname/pword from what I can see. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks! -- Tim DeBoer It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire shaking, the shaking becomes a warning.

[SM-USERS] Spamassassin, SORBS, Dynamic IPs and SquirrelMail and quick kludge fix
Big subject line but what the heck.
When I send email from SquirrelMail to friends who use spamassassin
it gets marked as spam.
Example:
(IPs and usernames xed out to protect my interests)
Content analysis details: (5.4 points, 5.0 required)
pts rule name description
-- --
2.0 RCVD_IN_SORBS RBL: SORBS: sender is listed in SORBS
[xx.xx.xx.xxx listed in dnsbl.sorbs.net]
2.5 RCVD_IN_DYNABLOCK RBL: Sent directly from dynamic IP address
[xx.xx.xx.xxx listed in dnsbl.sorbs.net]
0.8 PRIORITY_NO_NAME Message has priority setting, but no X-Mailer
Ok why is this happening?
Taken from headers:
Received: from xx.xx.xx.xxx
(SquirrelMail authenticated user x)
by .xx.com with HTTP;
Wed, 7 Apr 2004 11:53:12 -0400 (EDT)
The recieved header states it is coming from my dynamic IP address.
That's no good. Maybe future versions can have a configuration
option for this but I made a quick kludge.
Quick kludge to fix:
(I am using 1.4.0 - will upgrade again when 1.5 is "stable")
in file ROOT/class/deliver/Deliver.class.php
I changed:
$header = array();
$header[] = "Received: from $received_from" . $rn;
$header[] = "(SquirrelMail authenticated user $username)" . $rn;
$header[] = "by $SERVER_NAME with HTTP;" . $rn;
$header[] = "$date" . $rn;
To:
$header = array();
$header[] = "X-Squirrel-Received: from $received_from" . $rn;
$header[] = "(SquirrelMail authenticated user $username)" . $rn;
$header[] = "by $SERVER_NAME with HTTP;" . $rn;
$header[] = "$date" . $rn;
This fixed the SORBS problem.
But what about the PRIORITY_NO_NAME spamassassin problem?
I changed:
if ($rfc822_header->priority) {
$prio = $rfc822_header->priority;
$header[] = 'X-Priority: '.$prio. $rn;
switch($prio)
{
case 1: $header[] = 'Importance: High'. $rn; break;
case 3: $header[] = 'Importance: Normal'. $rn; break;
case 5: $header[] = 'Importance: Low'. $rn; break;
default: break;
}
}
To:
if ($rfc822_header->priority) {
$prio = $rfc822_header->priority;
$header[] = 'X-Mailer: SquirrelMail '.$version;
$header[] = 'X-Priority: '.$prio. $rn;
switch($prio)
{
case 1: $header[] = 'Importance: High'. $rn; break;
case 3: $header[] = 'Importance: Normal'. $rn; break;
case 5: $header[] = 'Importance: Low'. $rn; break;
default: break;
}
}

Or choosing alternative that would cause less trouble. correct way is to ask to fix their SA install. One line added and two lines modified. Whitelisting would work only for one user and * Some SA installs does not allow whitelisting in user's prefs. * Some SA installs does not use user's prefs at all. * Some SA installs are not controlled by end user.

[SM-USERS] ERROR : Could not complete request. Query: SELECT ""
Hello, I started seeing a really goofy problem on my FreeBSD 5.2 box. Seemingly randomly, I'll get this message while moving or deleting multiple messages: ERROR: ERROR : Could not complete request. Query: SELECT "" Reason Given: Mailbox does not exist, or must be subscribed to. It doesn't matter which mailbox I'm moving to/from or deleting from. It mostly happens when I'm manipulating multiple messages. I don't see errors in any logs. It just seems like somewhere I'm losing the name of the mailbox, hence the reason. I'm using apache-2.0.49 courier-imap-3.0.3,1 php4-4.3.5_7 I don't know if this is a php issue, a courier-imap issue, a squirrelmail->imap protocol issue or what else. The problem also seems to clear itself up (ie, files I was previously unable to move might move on a second try). Has anyone else seen something like this lately? Thanks!

Re: [SM-USERS] Spamassassin, SORBS, Dynamic IPs and SquirrelMail and quick kludge fix
No,It seems SquirrelMail adds the dialup IP as part of the msgid. SpamAssassin is parsing that IP from the msgid and flagging it as spam because of dialup. I posted a message about this a couple of days ago, but no-one gave a decent response. I have grep'd/awk'd through my maillog and it seems that SquirrelMail is basically the only one I can eyeball out that is doing this... Matt.

RE: [SM-USERS] Spamassassin, SORBS, Dynamic IPs and SquirrelMail and quick kludge fix
Whitelists that are address based are more insecure. It is not cheating at all. The purpose of the DYNALIST feature in SORBS and others to detect large bulk-spammers that hail form dynamic IPs that can't be easily shut-down.

My understanding of the DYNABLOCK list is that it has been created to target those DSL/cable modem users who are running their own email servers. It has been found that these are often misconfigured or open relays. These systems are the source for a large amount of grief (ie spam or network problems). DYNABLOCK is supported by many ISP's since running servers on their networks is often against their end user agreement. It is the ISP who takes the flames when people complain about garbage orginating from their ip blocks. Guess who's other users complain when the network is messed up. Also, it is not unknown for some residential DSL/cable modem users to offer email service for a fee in direct competition to their ISP. The SpamAssassin rules are not supposed to be triggered if mail is relayed through the ISP's mail server...just if it is sent directly to the internet. -- Gerry "The lyfe so short, the craft so long to learne" Chaucer --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.

I never thought about the personal address book, that was a good tip. I guess the users will need to take that into consideration when they put there votes out for squirrelmail.

Re: [SM-USERS] Spamassassin, SORBS, Dynamic IPs and SquirrelMail and quick kludge fix
Matt, I just took a look at the email you sent earlier in the week. All of the spamassassin tests that your example failed were tests on the Recieved line (hence the RCVD_IN test names). A brief (and not hugely thorough look) at the Spamassassin source doesn't turn up any tests against a IP address in the Message-ID. Unfortunately, you didn't include the headers from the original message that Spamassassin rejected, so I wasn't able to see what all it rejected on. Since Message-ID is defined as an identifier that the host is guarantees is correct, the use of an IP address is more of a convention than a standard. There is nothing stopping a client or SMTP server from sticking whatever it wants there. If a SMTP server wanted to put the client address that connected to it, it could. If Spamassassin does or decides to test against that, I'd say that it is broken and not Squirrelmail. Seth.
