[SM-USERS] Moving Squirrel Mail Installation
Greetings, I hopefully have an easy question. I am looking to move my squirrelmail installation to a new webserver. Is there any documentation that outlines what work needs to be done? Can I just tar up the old squirrelmail Virutal Host and copy it over to the new webserver? Thanks for your time. Vince -- Come build with us!

[SM-USERS] email addresses truncating
Hello, Same email server setup for our school for the last three years SquirrelMail version 1.4.8-4.0.1..el5.centos.1 Now after editing the global address book for ALL staff for new teachers ,etc., the secretary is getting random errors/bounce backs from the server as the following: u...@domain 550 unknown this is not always the same error for the same user. Bottom line, I am not sure if it is the squirrelmail address book itself or the sendmail or dovecot server needs more memory maybe? I don't think this is the case as I have not done any updating or server configuration changes. in the other words out of each staff entry in the address book at some point the address gets 'chopped off'. ( Of course all users 'after' this entry does not receive the email that has been sent) We have the address book setup in the following manner; A-C staff D-I staff etc when she sends to all entries a-z * with an attachment* this happens. It NEVER happens when she does not attach an Word document. I have tried to get the secretaries to use the mailman setup I have had setup but teachers are generally narrow minded and want s the email in their own inbox:(.Its a long story not worth explaining. Even at that this has not happened till this year when a few more teachers were entered in the global address book of Squirrelmail Thanks, Barry -- Come build with us!

[SM-USERS] email addresses truncating - Fixed
OK. Just thought I would post what I found that fixed what appeared to be email addresses becoming 'truncated' when sending to a number of users. About 250 at one time. I disabled the quicksave plugin and now emails with attachments are sending out fine. I know this should probably be posted on the squirrelmail-plugins forum ( Now that I know that the plugin was in fact causing the prob). Don't know what changed as nothing has been updated/changed at all on this email server since last school year. In time I will be able to pinpoint as to why the quicksave plugin is causing this snafoo but for now I simple have quicksave disabled. Anyone with any ideas are welcome to post their thoughts,,,:) Thanks, Barry -- Come build with us!

Also, you can and should carefully inspect your mail logs related to the send. You will be able to count the number of outgoing messages and match them to the original message's recipients. > We have the address book setup in the following manner; > > A-C staff > D-I staff > etc > when she sends to all entries a-z * with an attachment* this happens. Depending on how many recipients are on the message, you can definitely run into limits, not the least of which is the HTTP POST size limit. > It NEVER happens when she does not attach an Word document. Then my guess is that it's a matter of trying to send too much data over a HTTP POST. There is no workaround for this other than to modify how such messages are sent (by the user). You can test my theory by duplicating the outgoing message and dumping the $_POST variable in compose.php (use "sm_print_r($_POST); exit;") when you click send or maybe by using some browser plugins that can monitor POST data, etc. > I have tried to get the secretaries to use the mailman setup I have had > setup but teachers are generally narrow minded and want s the email in > their own inbox:(.Its a long story not worth explaining. > Even at that this has not happened till this year when a few more teachers > were entered in the global address book of Squirrelmail -- Paul Lesniewski SquirrelMail Team Please support Open Source Software by donating to SquirrelMail! http://squirrelmail.org/donate_paul_lesniewski.php -- Come build with us!

If you are sending to over 250 addresses, and adding a Word document also causes the issue, it seems clear that you are trying to send too much POST data. Quicksave does nothing when you click send. Maybe the browser counts its cookie size against the POST data size, but I'm not sure you've found the real problem - try adding more recipients or a bigger attachment and even without Quicksave, you'll probably still see the problem. -- Paul Lesniewski SquirrelMail Team Please support Open Source Software by donating to SquirrelMail! http://squirrelmail.org/donate_paul_lesniewski.php -- Come build with us!

If you are willing to sacrifice usability of your machine for another
five minutes, you can try re-applying that patch, then changing the
following lines in functions/mime.php:
1) comment out line 792 so it looks like:
//case '"':
2) change line 843 so it looks like:
if ($k > 126 || $string{$i} == '"') {
I think this will have the same result, but having a real world test
to help verify would be a big help. It seems that encoding quotes
makes too much use of this code, but the only other fix is to rewrite
the function parseAddress in the Rfc822Header class because it tries
to parse by and then strip out quotes regardless of if they are
embedded in an encoded part of the string.

Re: [SM-USERS] email addresses truncating - Fixed
Paul, Thank you much!for the feedback. I am sure you are right. I will attach below the error message i was getting thrown back after sending, but first I'll try and explain better my findings. As I said this server has had no problems sending this number of emails(last two years) with word doc attachments. I let the secretary edit the global address to delete/add new teachers for the year. ( I am guessing there may be 5-10 extra users in the ' All Staff" entry that she uses over what was used last school year). After she edited the global address book is when these errors started occuring a week ago. I was even considering there being white spaces in the address book and everything else imaginable. As I have always done the editing myself,with Firefox. I found today if I selected all staff about 220 users then tried adding her word doc attachment, browse then do the ADD the quicksave dialog would pop as if the message had just been lost. This has never done this before. This led me to believe it was quicksave related? I tried sending and sure enough at the top as soon as i clicked send I got a 67 error at the top as if I had a wrong email address entered. This is the error I received. You will see the users username/email address is "chopped off".the -k should be -kim This would happen with different users names appearing this way over the last week FYI. he following addresses had permanent fatal errors - strickle...@localhost (reason: 550 5.1.1 ... User unknown) (expanded from: strickle...@localhost) Bottom line, as soon as I disabled quicksave out of the plugins I could send the (47k) attachment to all users with no bounce errors. My current php settings are; 32M memory, 2M file upload,8M HTTP post. What are your thoughts of increasing the values to memory 64M, and HTTP post to 16M? I have never had to alter these so I don't know if there are behind the scense ramifications to increasing these? Sorry for the long post. Take Care, Barry -- Come build with us!

This led me to believe it was quicksave > related? This is key. When you explain how the error happens you really have to detail every mouse click. Clicking to "recover" the message via quicksave is a very important ingredient. The problem is that cookie size is also limited (see Quicksave docs). With that many recipients, you have surely exceeded the cookie size limit. That causes confusion for Quicksave and thus the popup. If you click to retrieve what it had saved for you, you get the truncated list of recipients - truncated to max cookie size. You should be able to see the truncated recipient address right there in your compose form - you don't have to send the message to see the issue. > I tried sending and sure enough at the top as soon as i clicked > send I got a 67 error at the top as if I had a wrong email address > entered.

HTTP POST size limitations are not related to memory in the web server. It's a protocol limitation that you can't change, although it's possible that some browsers might implement it differently. > I have never had to alter these so I don't know if there are behind the > scense ramifications to increasing these? > Sorry for the long post. Beside removing Quicksave, the other solution is never to click to recover a message from Quicksave when working with so many recipients. Quicksave will work fine for your other messages. Note that you are asking for trouble no matter what you do when you try to put this many recipients into a single message. It is very possible that at some point you WILL hit the HTTP POST limit, too, at which point you will be forced to find a better solution than you use now. End users might whine that they don't want to use a mailing list, but they *do* have to be educated. You can also probably set up a simple alias on your system that redirects to all the staff accounts or to the mailing list, so the end users can still use their webmail to do what they want. -- Paul Lesniewski SquirrelMail Team Please support Open Source Software by donating to SquirrelMail! http://squirrelmail.org/donate_paul_lesniewski.php -- Come build with us!
