I've setup the MX records for *.fax.domain.co.uk, but how do u setup
*.fax.domain.co.uk in locals and rcpthosts as the message bounces when you
send it.

Take it out of locals, and put it in virtualdomains instead, in order to
create a virtual userid to take all mail for that domain.
man qmail-send for more information.

Add "fax.domain.co.uk" to rcpthosts.
Add "fax.domain.co.uk:alias-fax" to virtualdomains. Make sure you don't
have "fax.domain.co.uk" in locals.
Set up ~alias/.qmail-fax-default as described.
Users can then send their faxes to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Here is the inetd.conf line. The line was split at qmaild.
---begin---
smtp stream tcp nowait qmaild
/var/qmail/bin/tcp-env /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
---end---
The line in my services file.
---begin---
smtp 25/tcp mail
---end---
I get a connection and then it says the remote system has closed the
connection. I'm telneting from localhost to port 25. And if I telnet from
anywhere else it does the same thing. I've removed my hosts.allow and
hosts.deny and I still get the same problem. I have no clue what's doing it.
Thanks.

Problem: inetd executes /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env with
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd as ARGV[0] and no ARGV[1]. tcp-env expects the
name of the program to run as ARGV[1].
Solution: insert an additional "tcp-env" after /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env
so that the line reads:
... qmaild /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env tcp-env /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
This is exactly what is in the INSTALL file btw.

hello,
could somebody point out to me how to make qmail-pop3d log to syslog or
cyclog?
this is the entry in my rc.pop3 :
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -c 100 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup \
mail.philonline.com \
/bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir &
thanks.

tcpserver logs information about connections to stderr, so you can just
change this to (shortened):
tcpserver 0 pop3 qmail-popup mail.philonline.com checkpassword qmail-pop3d
Maildir 2>&1 | splogger pop3d &
To log logins with username and remote host, Use a small wrapper
to be called instead of qmail-pop3d:
% cat /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d-log
#!/bin/sh
logger -p local2.info -t pop3d "$USER logged in from $TCPREMOTEIP"
exec /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d $1
%
Thanks to tcp-env, all the info is there...
Stefan
I am trying to allow people who connect trough ISPS to use my smtpd for
relaying. Of course only if they are local-users (ie at my server). I
found something with pop3-servers allowing the specific IP number for 10
minutes after a successful password user check. Anyone know anything
bouth that? any other sugestions?
thanx

good day ...
i've stumbled up against this problem with qmail-pw2u:
98 root@spruce /var/qmail/users> qmail-pw2u < yppasswd > assign
qmail-pw2u: fatal: unable to find alias user
99 root@spruce /var/qmail/users>
yppasswd has this entry:
101 root@spruce /var/qmail/users> grep alias yppasswd
alias alias:*:49492:31314::/var/qmail/alias:/dev/null
102 root@spruce /var/qmail/users>
is there something simple i'm missing? this is qmail 1.03 on
solaris 2.5.1.

Yes. You really don't have an alias user. You have an "alias alias" user,
which is not exactly the same.

doh ...
i was making the yppasswd file using ypcat -k (i use it without
thinking).
thanks for the reality check sam.

Is there a way I can get around having to create a .qmail file for every
user? Is it possible to have like a global change that does this? I will
have a virtual domain on this box also, so would doing that coz a problem
with it?
Thanks again

Think of the default delivery instruction (given on the qmail-start
command line) as a default .qmail file for every user who doesn't have
his own.

If you have a .qmail-default or .qmail-something-default handling the
virtual domain, then the default delivery instruction is of course
ignored.

Thanks for all the help, everything's running fine now. My only regret
in abandoning sendmail and its charming companion, sendmail.cf, is that
I didn't find qmail 6 months earlier.
I think I forgot to mention that I am using Maildir delivery instead of
Mailbox....

If you change ./Mailbox to ./Maildir/ in your qmail-send start script (probably
/var/qmail/rc), then Maildir delivery will be the default and you won't need
.qmail files in users' directories.

Actually, the more I think about it, the more I realize that cyclog
does too much. Cyclog should work like this:
cyclog [ -ssize ] [ -mmargin ] dir program
"program" should be responsible for any files starting with an '@'
that have permission 0444. One such program might be "rmlog". It
would have these parameters:
rmlog [ -nnum ] dir

Run man qmail and scroll to the bottom.
Or, with GNU grep:
; grep -A1 version /var/qmail/man/man7/qmail.7
This documentation describes version
1.03

I'm not willing to assume, *especially* if debugging somebody else's
installation, that the documentation I find is in sync with the
binaries I'm running. There really ought to be some sort of way to
tell directly from the binaries. Ident doesn't find anything, and
strings doesn't turn up a string that looks like a version to me.

Like it or not, that is the ONLY way to tell what version of qmail you are
running.

If qmail was installed the normal way, the binaries are as in sync with
the man pages as they are with each other.
qmail>=1.02 supports the DEFAULT environment variable. I haven't
verified this with qmail-<=1.01, but would assume that if "strings
qmail-local|grep DEFAULT" turns up something, you are running
qmail>=1.02.
For the future, you can just add a char* version="qmail version 1.03"
to qmail.c, then rebuild.

Hello all,
Has anyone found a good way to setup AutoTURN so that it doesn't require the
customer to have a static IP? Right now I have it setup per the AUTOTURN
file that came with serialmail...

That's what Anand's turnmail is for:
<li>[<a
href="http:[EMAIL PROTECTED]">Anand Buddhdev</a>]
wrote a program, modified by Russell Nelson for publication here,
which wraps around qmail-pop3d and <a href="turnmail">triggers a
serialmail delivery</a> to the connecting host whose user just
authenticated themselves.

I am using qmail v1.03 with the users/assign method. bin/qmail-newu builds
a cdb database for the assign file and I am trying to use 'cdbget' fromt he
cdb-0.55 package to query data from this database.
I notice the cdbget can recover find records for keys that start with a '+'
but not records that start with a '='.
ie (from users/assign):
=test:qpopd:888:888:/usr/popboxes/test:::
+test2:qpopd:888:888:/usr/popboxes/test2:::
So the following command will find the proper record:
./cdbget \!test2 < /var/qmail/users/cdb && echo ''
result: qpopd888888/usr/popboxes/test2
However this one returns nothing:
./cdbget \!test < /var/qmail/users/cdb && echo ''
result:
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Rob

I think that the next version of ezmlm should have a built in hazing
ritual wherein prospective users are asked to subscribe and unsubscribe
four or five times in a row before being allowed to really join any
list.
Majordomo can automatically bounce unsubscribe messages that are
sent to the list. Nice feature.
That said...
The standard way to get on or off an internet mailing list is to send
to <listname>-request, and to read and follow the instructions that are
mailed back to you. In this case that would be
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Don't forget to *read* and *follow* the *instructions* you get back.

Okay, is anyone running vchkpw and shadow passwords?
It doesn't seem to be working... Are there any options to set or something
somewhere? Before/after compile or something?
Box is redhat with pam..
Thanks for any help.
adam
Ack... I'm sorry... It wasn't directly in the documentation, but in the
src/Makefile ...
thought the -lshadow directive caused it to throw up, just the DPW_SHADOW
has it working fine.
Thanks!

This is a little off topic. I'm running qmail server on linux machine.
When one of my customer sends mail through my mail server, it is rejected
because of To: line:
To: [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]
failure: Sorry,_I_couldn't_find_any_host_named_aquacorp.com].
Qmail doesn't strip off the bracket(]).
I vaguely remember this To: line is against the RFC rules on SMTP...
Am I right? If I'm right, I want to show the exact RFC document to him.
Could somebody direct me to the right place to get the document?
Thanks,
Heechul

I have a small home network with 5 or so machines. These all have IP
addresses in the range 192.168.13.xxx and I have christened them
xxxx.isbd.mynet.
The Linux machine where I am running qmail is server2.isbd.mynet and
its IP address is 192.168.13.25, so far so good.
The above Linux machine is also the one that connects to my ISP to
send and receive mail. For this connection the machine's name is
isbd.demon.co.uk with a static IP address of 158.152.25.160.
Which domain name(s) should I put in which files in the qmail
configuration? In particular should /var/qmail/control/me be
isbd.demon.co.uk or server2.isbd.mynet, or doesn't it matter too much?
Currently I have:-
defaultdomain contains isbd.mynet
defaulthost contains isbd.demon.co.uk
locals contains isbd.demon.co.uk and server2.isbd.mynet
me contains isbd.demon.co.uk
plusdomain contains isbd.mynet
rcpthosts contains isbd.demon.co.uk and server2.isbd.mynet
Does this seem reasonable, or should defaultdomain and plusdomain be
changed to demon.co.uk? isbd.mynet is just a fiction for my own
convenience really and shouldn't appear anywhere in mail, it just
needs to be in locals and rcpthosts so qmail will handle mail to/from
the local network. In fact do I need plusdomain at all?
