Been running it for several years and works great. It has excellent support for standards, plenty of options to deal with messages (it has internal scripting language similar to sh), performs good under load and it is easy to add support for off-site clients wishing to relay (currently I support SMTP-AUTH and pop3-before-smtp for off-site clients relaying, but could easily extend with other ways - like allow user to relay as soon as radius servers accepts him and disallow his/her relaying as soon as the line is dropped.

My theory so far >is to set up a seperate smtp server for the relaying This is the concept behind IMGate in my sig. postfix is beautiful in the role of relay-only mail hub, off-loading all anti-abuse and significant anti-virus defense (eg, stops all ILOVE and AnnaK type viruses at the hub, offloading them from evern the AV box) on the inbound, while also doing all outbound deliveries. I would expect those 200 SMTPd processes drop dramatically on the mailbox server and migrate to the postfix hub. postfix is fast and easy to set up. I can send you my config files and the sysctl params you need to open up FreeBSD to handle 200+ SMPT/D processes. Wietse has also updated the postfix FAQ with my sysctl tuning info. >scanning for outgoing messages is not an issue, we only really want it >for incoming anyway.

They learned the tremendous advantages of not putting all your baby 'roos in one pouch. :)) But you aren't going far enough with sharing the load asymmetrically among single function boxes. Have another postfix relay pouch doing the virus scanning, greatly extending the useable life of your mailbox hardware. I like Amavis and Kaspersky in that role. By having so much mail routing flexibility available, you can offer AV scanning per-domain as a payable option. 1. border mail hub, or two for MX redundancy. Try to export/duplicate your list of known mail users to this box so it can stop harvesting and other crap without DoS-sing the mailbox server to query for valid mail accounts. 2. AV scanner (block internet access to this box's port 25) 3. mailbox server (no longer in DNS MX records, and in some cases you can block access from Internet to its port 25) Try to block port 25 access from Internet to all you boxes so the border relay hub becomes the SMTP choke point(s) where you concentrate your defenses.

Again, is that with the antivirus there slowing it down? My existing setup would do that without a problem if it weren't for the antivirus software. Looking at my hardware on hand, I could put together a box as large as 1 or 2 p3 800's, and 512MB or 1GB of RAM. How much do you think would be necessary? > yes, postfix.

Sounds great, but here's where I am stuck: all our users already point their mail clients to mail.datafast.net.au (and others), for smtp/pop3/imap. I can't change that. So I am going to need to do it with port redirection on the firewall, or something like that. Changing the MX's is fine, but I will need the redirection to force all of our customer's mail through the antivirus. I am thinking of setting up one box to do 1 & 2. If the load grows too large, I will add more boxes and load balance, as somebody on the list suggested to me last week. So, in summary, I would like to do this, how much hardware should I throw at it? It is delivering about 2.5GB a day, running AVP. > > Len > Cheers.

For an AV box, it's a whole 'nother ballgame, much more intensive, can't say what it would take, depends on your volume. >Have you ever had any problems with that filtering spam? I would say all the IMGate machines are running all three databases at mail-abuse.org, plus up to several dozen expressions in header_checks and body_checks (straight RegEx string matching, no decompression or MIME decoding) on incoming, plus delivering all outgoing. >Sounds great, but here's where I am stuck: all our users already point >their mail clients to mail.datafast.net.au but the mail clients do an A record lookup for that, not an MX lookup. >(and others), for smtp/pop3/imap. To provide for flexibility in the future for splitting various mail functions off from the initial do-it-all mail machine, I strongly recommend that mail-related hostnames be defined for every zone, something like: @ mx 10 mx1.domain.com. mx1 mx 10 mx1.domain.com. smtp A ip.ad.re.ss ; mail client sends outbound here, maybe with SMTP AUTH or POP B4 SMTP mail A ip.ad.re.ss ; this is wht your client use now, no need to change it pop A ip.ad.re.ss ; read pop boxes here webmail A ip.ad.re.ss ; do http webmail here mx1 A ip.ad.re.ss ; internet severs send mail here As you grow, your users keep their well-known hostnames, but you can change the ip addresses "underneath" as you add specialized boxes. >I can't change that. So I am going to need to do it with port redirection >on the firewall, or something like that. Changing the MX's is fine, but >I will need the redirection to force all of our customer's mail through >the antivirus. Well, another way would be like we do: mail hub fowards incoming, per-domain (AV is payable option per-domain), to AV box which forwards to mailbox server. mailbox server outgoing forwarded to AV box that forwards to mail hub for delivery to Internet. downstream mailservers (on leased lines, dial-ups, ETRN stuff) forward their outbound to AV box. no ip routing involved, only SMTP routing in postfix's relay_domains and transport tables. >I am thinking of setting up one box to do 1 & 2.

It is delivering about 2.5GB a day, running AVP. If you're scanning 2.5 gb of mail now with AVP, you have a much better feel than I do. We have an old P300 with 64 megs doing AVP scanning with AvpFreeBSDDaemon under Amavis PERL 10 but only 3k msgs, a few 100 megs/day.

If memory serves me, you can use sendmail -F to set the full name of the sender, but it's been awhile. This can be done with sendmail, though I'm not sure about qmail or postfix.

It isn't that it can't handle the load, it is just that there seems to be a bug in the AVP replacement for qmail-queue which is leaving zombie qmail-que (the original qmail-queue) processes. So that is what is consuming the RAM and causing the processes to stay around longer. I have set up a cron job to kill old the old processes until I can resolve it with Kapersky, this has taken the load back down, it is now peaking at about 150 smtp's. I am still contemplating seperating these, so it will scale better as load increases, and also to be able to offer the antivirus as a bill option. Thanks for all your help, I think I will get back to you some time soon about this.

Familiarity with BSDi/FreeBSD has led us to use this as the platform of choice for this project, but the through of recreating a suit of chrooted applications and interfaces to provide these services is annoying to say the least. We are looking at Total Internet(Finepoint) and BillMax as signup and billing software, but these are only front ends to what we will require as a more robust service platform and hosting solution. Any input along this line is appreciated. Not looking for sales pitches, have reviewed plenty of claims to fame on the web.

Unfortunately I've not yet had the time to upgrade the servers. What is the general impression of the upgrade process from those who've succesfully done so? Initially I saw a lot of posts about the new release being very syntax specific and a lot of problems resulting thereof. Anything to watch out for beyond using the proper syntax in your zone files?

AFAIK it just writes to whatever game directory its in ./logs, to the file Lddmmyy0.log where ddmmyy is the date and 0 is the log number for that day... You did set logging to be enabled right? In your server command line put +log on ? Because logging works fine for me... I run a counterstrike server like so ./hdls_run -game cstrike +maxplayers 20 +map de_dust +log on and the logs can be found in ./hlds_l/cstrike/logs Good Luck! Kal.

If you want to upgrade to 9.1, at least one difference is that each zonefile requires a $TTL nnn I'm not sure if the line can be anywhere in the file so something like this: for x in `grep -l ORIGIN *` do if grep -v TTL $x then echo "\$TTL=28800" >>$x fi done will work. You could just make bind 9, but not installing it, then running it from the build directory, attach to a different port with option -p and see if it barfs on anything.

The log file should only be closed when the server quits but I imagine all the log starting and closing is because you have specified that logging should take place in several different places... The ONLY thing I set for logging is +log on in the command line, which works perfectly, the only other difference is I dont have the files under the compat tree... You do type quit to exit dont you?

The log file should only be closed when the server quits but I imagine all the log starting and closing is because you have specified that logging should take place in several different places... The ONLY thing I set for logging is +log on in the command line, which works perfectly, the only other difference is I dont have the files under the compat tree... You do type quit to exit dont you?

You kill it? Is anything getting created in /usr/compat/linux/usr/games/hlds_l/cstrike/logs/ ? A log file should get put in there everytime the map changes... But if you kill the server before a map change you will get a 0 byte file in there... So long as the logs dir is owned by the user that the server is running as and they have write permissions it should "just work"... Its strange you are having problems, since the only difference between your setup and mine is the fact yours in the /usr/compat/linux tree and Im running 4.0 Stable still...

I also need this box to have an IP address from the same /24 network that is behind it. The router will also need an IP address from this /24 network. I'm using FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE (as of Feb. 28), and two Intel Pro 100B NICs. How do I go about setting up the routing table on the FreeBSD box? If I set an IP address on router-side NIC, FreeBSD will (rightfully) think that the rest of the /24 network can be reached through this NIC. If I set an IP address on the network-side NIC, FreeBSD will (rightfully) think that the router can be reached through this NIC. Can someone recommend how I could accomplish this? I'm not opposed to assigning IP addresses to both NICs.. but I am opposed to reconfiguring the router or any of the hosts on the network. Ideas? Questions? Comments?

This concerns me. We had a similar problem with 9.1.0 where named would stop responding (oddly, host continued to work but dig@localhost hung). Our interim fix was a script that ran every 5 minutes checking for timeouts and restarting named if it hung. After the upgrade to 9.1.1rc2, we have not seen this problem. And we serve a LOT of dns since in addition to our clients we're a top level domain server. The problem is not specific to FreeBSD, we see it on BSD/OS as well. I see you upgraded to rc3 recently, perhaps that will make a difference. If you contact isc about this, you can reference ticket [ISC-Bugs #912] (bind9) since it sounds like the same problem.

Host B: SMP system, dual Intel 82557 on-board ethernet SuSE Linux 7.0 They are connected with a crossover cable, both ends set to 100mbps full-duplex. Normally, the connection works fine, but sometimes the link just becomes unuseable. Host A can't ping B anymore, there are no error messages in the logs, re-initializing the interface has no effect. Host A is still accessible from elsewhere through the on-board ethernet adapter ('fxp'). It seems that this happens while the link is very busy (update of B via rsync, approx. 200MB of data are being transfered). "netstat -m" output looks OK. Since the problem can be 'fixed' by rebooting A, I assume that this is where the problem comes from. The 4.1.1 kernel is almost the stock kernel, with the following options: /etc/sysctl.conf: kern.ipc.shmmax=67108864 kern.ipc.maxsockbuf=1048576 kern.ipc.somaxconn=2048 kern.maxfiles=65536 kernel options: maxusers 512 options SHMMAXPGS=16384 options SEMMNI=256 options SEMMNS=512 options SEMMNU=256 options SEMMAP=256 Can anyone recommend a few things to try? I'm considering: - a new kernel (this is a production system, so I'd rather avoid 'make world') - a new NIC for Host A (Intel PRO100? Would it be likely to work better with the on-board NICs of B?) - a switch between the 2 hosts Has anyone had similar problems? Any input would be much appreciated!
