Title: configuration questionshello,
i'm new to qmail and i have some questions about it.
i heard, that qmail is an espacially safe mta. so i want to install it as an email gateway for my firewall.
my configuration looks like this:
-internet---firewall (ipchains)/qmail---exchange-i want qmail to get all our mail from our internet service provider an to forward them to the exchange server behind the firewall and vice versa.
how can i configure qmail to do that?
i'm using maquerading behind the firewall, is that a problem?
thanks in advance

Setup qmail on the firewall as per the instructions. Then put in your domain name in control/rcpthosts. Now qmail will accept mail for your domain. Then setup control/smtproutes like this: your.domain.com:[IP.address.of.exchange.server] This takes care of incoming mail. For outgoing mail, setup Exchange to use the qmail as a smarthost. On the firewall, arrange to run qmail-smtpd so accept relayed messages from the Exchange server. See: http://qmail-docs.surfdirect.com.au/docs/qmail-antirelay.html for instructions on how to setup qmail-smtpd safely. -- System Administrator See complete headers for address, homepage and phone numbers

can you give some more data ? What does the mail log say ? How do you start qmail. what is the command line you use to start qmail ?

How do you start qmail-smtpd? From tcpserver or inetd? If from inetd, did you remember to SIGHUP inetd after changing your inetd.conf file? Chris
Title: AW: qmail doesn't accept any connections on port 25i start qmail by tcpserver.
i got the rc script by the qmail faq website and i made my changes.
the log says, that rblsmtpd is missing.
i've installed ucspi-tcp-0.84 and daemontools-0.53, like described in the howtos.
what went wrong? where can i get that file?

(qmail 1.03/RedHat5.2/kernel 2.2.5) Hi, Whenever I tweak with my firewall rules, qmail fails to deliver messages (that's ok). I can see them on the queue. But when it retries to send those certain deffered messages it fails again. I tried sending a new message with the exact to/from/subject/content and it left in no time while the old one still stays in the queue. I even forced the delivery by hand (to no avail) How can I purge the queue ? Claudiu
Also make sure you have a /var/qmail/control/me file that reads: your.hostname.com If this isn't in there, qmail just seems to disappear... -- Doug Lumpkin PacInfo Internet [EMAIL PROTECTED] Charles Zealey wrote: > Everybody tells me how easy it is to set up but frankly I'm struggling.

Solved. Brain damage. The core of the problem was not-working qbiff and misconfigured vmailmgr - i used these programs to execute from .qmail. Just 8 hours of sleep - and the problem was solved :) What a shame!!! Sorry. --- Pavel Korovin SMTP: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PSTN: +7 (095) 721-26-00

Well the main thing I can say is don't share secondary MX with other services. I've seen it happen many times where an ISP does secondary MX for a downstream (perhaps on ISDN) mail server. That mail server gets mailbombed, and becomes unreachable. Now the attack moves over to take out your server too. If you put secondary MX on a box by itself thats fine, but often people share it with a web server or something, and the box is hammered by the attack moving over to the secondary... ----- Original Message ----- From: Efgé <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, May 08, 1999 10:44 AM Subject: Re: secondary MX > Thanks for all your answers. > > > > I didn't see your explanation of the problem that you expect to solve > > with a secondary MX record, though. > > Oh right, now I remember that a number of you people are against the use > of secondary MX.

Hello, I'm working on migrating the email for some 160+ domains over to qmail from IMail (NT). I've used qmail in the past, but never for something this large in scale. I imagine at some point, you could even do maildir delivery with load-balanced mail servers to something like a netapp, but i digress. My problem is that the majority of these users are `real' users, in that they need to pop for their mail, as well as be able to send mail through this new host. I'm having trouble understanding if this is possible, although i imagine it is. If i'm correct, every user that wants to pop for his mail must have an account on the machine? If thats true, how will i distinguish between [EMAIL PROTECTED], and [EMAIL PROTECTED] ? If I'm incorrect in this assumption, how do i tell qmail where the pop users mail resides? I'm having a hard time with this, any light you could shed on this would be great. Thanks, Jonathan -- Jonathan W.

I have been distributing the c-client library patch from my website (http://www.flounder.net/qmail/) for quite a while now. My question is, has anyone updated this patch so that it works with the newest version of pine? Is anyone willing to? The current patch works on pine 3.96, which is a rather old version. As a secondary note, is UW planning on adding Maildir support to pine at any time? It would seem that this would be a worthwhile feature. --Adam
I am running Red Hat 5.2 and tried to replace sendmail with qmail but experienced some problems. Installation went pretty smoothly, but when it came to test, it failed. Well, maybe failure is not correct word, since I didn't get an error message, but I didn't get what I expected either. I tried to send mail locally, as described in TEST.receive, by telnet to port 25, but I never got anything in the Mailbox. Now, as I said, no error messages in maillog, but delivery - success field is incomplete. Here are messages from maillog: May 8 11:51:03 localhost qmail: 926185863.365457 new msg 471059 May 8 11:51:03 localhost qmail: 926185863.365600 info msg 471059: bytes 208 from <> qp 680 uid 7791 May 8 11:51:03 localhost qmail: 926185863.456627 starting delivery 2: msg 471059 to local @hal.utah-inter.net May 8 11:51:03 localhost qmail: 926185863.456721 status: local 1/10 remote 0/20 May 8 11:51:03 localhost qmail: 926185863.457687 delivery 2: success: May 8 11:51:03 localhost qmail: 926185863.457768 status: local 0/10 remote 0/20 May 8 11:51:03 localhost qmail: 926185863.457829 end msg 471059 Then I tried remote-to-local test, it failed too, but this time with an error message: May 8 12:38:25 localhost qmail: 926188705.179383 new msg 471059 May 8 12:38:25 localhost qmail: 926188705.179510 info msg 471059: bytes 1106 from <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> qp 1961 uid 7791 May 8 12:38:25 localhost qmail: 926188705.270538 starting delivery 4: msg 471059 to remote dcosic@localhost May 8 12:38:25 localhost qmail: 926188705.270639 status: local 0/10 remote 1/20 May 8 12:38:25 localhost qmail: 926188705.926201 delivery 4: failure: Sorry._Although_I'm_listed_as_a_best-preference_MX_or_A_for_that_host,/it_isn't_in_my_control/locals_file,_so_I_don't_treat_it_as_local._(#5.4.6)/ May 8 12:38:25 localhost qmail: 926188705.926338 status: local 0/10 remote 0/20 May 8 12:38:26 localhost qmail: 926188706.041654 bounce msg 471059 qp 1963 May 8 12:38:26 localhost qmail: 926188706.041985 end msg 471059 After this followed message about bounce mail, which was sent successfully. Well I don't what else to say or what else information could help solving this problem. During installation I followed instructions from INSTALL.* files. I didn't try any 'fancy' stuff, except masquerading host name. Host name is hal.utah-inter.net and utah-inter.net is my ISP's domain. One more thing. I don't know if qmail-local is supposed to be running all the time, but when I run ps, I get this: 367 ? S 0:00 qmail-lspawn ./Mailbox 366 ? S 0:00 splogger qmail 369 ? S 0:00 qmail-clean 368 ? S 0:00 qmail-rspawn 355 ? S 0:00 qmail-send Well that's all. On the end of the file I included output from qmail-showctl if you need to know more about qmail configuration. I hope somebody can help me solve this problem. I don't feel like using hotmail any more! Thanks.

Here is a simple program I wrote that pipes email messages to a news server. We are testing out the idea of concurrent qmail aliases and local news groups and this program has been very useful. I have added the following to a .qmail alias file: | /usr/local/bin/q2news.pl NEWS.SERVER.HERE NEWS.GROUP.HERE It calls the q2news.pl program whose code follows. The program requires two perl modules which are easily found at your favorite CPAN site. Please send me any ideas or comments, and I can add features and a README for more formal distribution etc. Enjoy, Samuel Daffner Mills College ITS Oakland, CA #!/usr/local/bin/perl -w # # q2news.pl -- Pipes mail messages to news groups # # by Samuel Daffner, [EMAIL PROTECTED] # updated 5.7.99 # ######################## $news_server = @ARGV[0]; $news_group = @ARGV[1]; @body=<STDIN>; ######################## use Mail::Internet; $mail = Mail::Internet->new(\@body); $subject = $mail->get('Subject'); $from = $mail->get('From'); @header=("Newsgroups: $news_group"); @header=(@header,"From: $from","Subject: $subject"); ######################## use News::NNTPClient; $c = new News::NNTPClient("$news_server"); $c->post(@header, "", @body)|| print "Error posting:$!\n"; __END__

Hope I didn't post this twice... The problem is that I can't make qmail accept relayclients. I did everything like they say in Qmail FAQ #5.4 but qmail-smtpd still rejects any relay attempts. I get messages saing the domain is not listed in rcpthosts. And I thought setting RELAYCLIENT would cause qmail-smtpd to relay without reading rcpthosts... Do I have to recompile tcp_wrappers or something ?? However, there seems to be something odd in the way qmail-smtpd behaves: After putting "all: all:deny" into /etc/hosts.deny (/etc/hosts.allow still contained the line "tcp-env: etc...") port 25 refused to answer at all. It didn't answer even if put "tcp-env: all: allow" in /etc/hosts.allow.

1) Make sure tcp-wrappers are installed. Mine were I'm using RedHat 5.1 with kernel 2.034 2) You must modify your inetd.conf as specified in the FAQ. I used inetd I did not use TCP wrappers 3) You must edit your hosts.allow as indicated in your email. Try putting the IP of your computer only just to test it. 4) Correct me if I'm wrong but if you put "all: all: deny" into /etc/hosts/deny aren't you denying all services ? My hosts.deny is empty. 5) I still had problems and so I restarted the Linux box (call me a philistine). After that all was OK. (ie. I didn't have success in getting it to register the changes to hosts.allow without restarting.) Probably doesn't help but hope it does.

I'll try that but it should work with multiple hosts, too. > 4) Correct me if I'm wrong but if you put "all: all: deny" into > /etc/hosts/deny aren't you denying all services ? My hosts.deny is empty. Nope, access is granted when hosts.deny contains "all: all: deny" AND hosts.allow contains "all: 127.0.0.1: allow". That's the way it works with other daemons. I tried also with and empty hosts.deny file, no success. > 5) I still had problems and so I restarted the Linux box (call me a > philistine). After that all was OK. (ie. I didn't have success in getting > it to register the changes to hosts.allow without restarting.) Booting was unnecessary. hosts.{allow, deny} are read every time tcpd is executed ie. when a daemon is started by inetd. So the changes take place right away. Anyway, back to my problem. Has anyone succesfully configured selective relay with tcp_wrappers ?? Or do I have to install tcpserver ?? > > The problem is that I can't make qmail accept relayclients. > > I did everything like they say in Qmail FAQ #5.4 but qmail-smtpd still > > rejects any relay attempts.

is it possible to something like this in smtproutes? so that it if it fails trying to send to the first host (10.1.1.1), qmail will try sending it to the second host (10.1.1.2).. ive tried this and it seems to be just taking whatever entry is last, which isnt the desired effect.. :) domain.com:10.1.1.1 domain.com:10.1.1.2 -- ======================================================================= | Jason Welsh [EMAIL PROTECTED] | If you think there's | | | good in everybody, you | | http://welsh.dynip.com/ | haven't met everybody. | =======================================================================

suppose I want to get mail as root..... is there a safe way other than routing it to another user? thankx dmc

There is no other way, be it safe or unsafe. Apart from forwarding to another host ofcourse, or having procmail/binmail deliver.

I use mutt and have the following in my root user's .muttrc: spoolfile='/var/qmail/alias/Maildir/' So when I read mail as root I am actually reading the alias maildir.

Fred Lindberg writes: > rfc2369 is the way to do it. No. Let's say a user clicks the ``unsubscribe'' button while he's looking at an old message from the SOS mailing list. What should the MUA do? RFC 2369 suggests that the MUA follow the List-Unsubscribe instructions in that message. But what happens when the instructions are out of date? What the MUA should do is find the most recent subscription confirmation from the SOS list, and follow the instructions in _that_ message. This is why I proposed putting a List-ID field into every message; it lets the MUA reliably keep track of the latest information for each list. The RFC 2369 List-Unsubscribe syntax might be tolerable for confirmation messages. But there's no excuse for MUAs to assume that List-Unsubscribe appears in _every_ message. The MUA support envisioned in RFC 2369 is not the right thing to do. ---Dan
Hi, I want to setup a front-end which does spam-management to a set of qmail boxes and I was wondering if there was a way to get a similar feature as sendmail's FEATURE('access_db') which allows one to reject both senders/recipients at the SMTP level Thanks, Yusuf Yusuf Goolamabbas [EMAIL PROTECTED]
(qmail 1.03/RedHat5.2/kernel 2.2.5) Hi, Whenever I tweak with my firewall rules, qmail fails to deliver messages (that's ok). I can see them on the queue. But when it retries to send those certain deffered messages it fails again. I tried sending a new message with the exact to/from/subject/content and it left in no time while the old one still stays in the queue. I even forced the delivery by hand (to no avail) How can I purge the queue ? Claudiu

Qmail is changing the "From: " field in the header on all messages sent out. The way I read the documentation, it is not supposed to do this. Can anyone suggest what might be wrong? Thanks, Dick Kreutzer AmeriCom Inc.
