I have compiled and installed succesefuly qmail 1.03 on a Redhat
5.2 (2.2.1). Everything seems to be fine just that messages don't get

/var/qmail/queue/... but joe never gets them.
here is a piece:

Is the qmail daemon running? What is the output of
ps aux | grep ^qmail
?
I just tested stopping my qmail daemon, it has this effect (not
preprocessing messages).

I do not understand: how can I make sure I do not get these bounces from
muncher? I now have about 30 of them.

Well, you could grep on the fellow mentioned in the delivered-to
line. Or you could complain to Dan, and ask him to remove that guy.
After all, it's not *Dan* who's getting the bounces, so you can't
expect him to fix it.

True. I used to run with the bouncemail patch, but now I'd
prefer to constantly demonstrate that it should be standard. :-)

I'm about to write a filter recipe to trap them, and forward them to the
individual who doesn't know how to properly configure his mail system.

How about a filter recipe that takes all mail from one person and writes
it to a separate file....rather than (or in addition) to the regular
mbox location. I'm using qmail 1.01.

I hope you'll send me a copy. Now that we are on the subject: not
long ago you listed some IPs that are to be blocked. The list I
manage just got a spam that had this in the header
Received: from unknown (HELO VIDEOCONFERENCER) (212.12.137.50)
Is 212.12.137. one of the ranges you mentioned?
(The IP has no DNS name; the envelope sender is
[EMAIL PROTECTED])
Thx

The only IP ranges I recall posting were ones that were uunet dialup pools.
They are 153.34.0.0 - 153.39.255.255 and 208.250.0.0 - 208.255.255.255.

Hmm... maybe it's time to gun up a patch that counts the total number of
bytes/words in the body of an email and if a case-insensitive
"unsubscribe" makes up a large enough portion, reply to the sender with a
"hey you can't unsubscribe this way. send your request to [EMAIL PROTECTED] to

Excuse me, but PLEASE GET YOUR ATTRIBUTION RIGHT.
I did not send the "screaming unsubscribe" message. Some lost
soul at usia.gov did that, and I really do not care to be confused with
someone as clueless. Thanks.

Again, my apologies. I should have looked more closely when trimming the

Hiyas,
I'm just wondering how can I use the mini-qmail server and how can I handle
a large list of deliveries. OK, let's say I'm using multiple A addresses
for a name, for example mail.isp.org has six IP addresses and it receives
mails (with mini-qmail) and handle the http requests. It can be a 'same
data in each computer' style. All of the machines send to a mail handling
center (eg. deliver.isp.org) to handle qmail queue. BUT I heard about a
machine which local mails went through about two hours! Isn't this (ie. the
centralized queue) a bottleneck of qmail performance?

Hello All,
I've got a disk filling up, and I think that qmail is gonna
have to be moved. Can anyone give suggestions for moving
the /var/qmail directories without too much disruption?
I'm assuming that I need to stop incoming mail for a while,
let the queue empty out, and then can move the whole thing
and restart. Any thing I've missed?

You don't really need to empty the queue, but you must take care in
moving the message files across, since the number of any message must
match the inode number of its file in mess/.
So your best bet is probably this:
- Stop the queue and the smtp server.
- Move /var/qmail aside.
- Install your new qmail from sources into /var/qmail.
- Copy the contents of the control, alias, users directories from the
old to the new location.
- Create a subdirectory queue.old, and copy the old queue tree to it.
- Then run the following script:
#!/bin/sh
# This must be GNU find:
find queue.old/mess -type f -printf '%f %i\n' |
awk '{print $1, $1%23, $2, $2%23}' |
while read oldi oldd newi newd; do
mv queue.old/mess/$oldd/$oldi queue/mess/$newd/$newi
mv queue.old/info/$oldd/$oldi queue/info/$newd/$newi
test -f queue.old/local/$oldd/$oldi &&
mv queue.old/local/$oldd/$oldi queue/local/$newd/$newi
test -f queue.old/remote/$oldd/$oldi &&
mv queue.old/remote/$oldd/$oldi queue/remote/$newd/$newi
test -f queue.old/bounce/$oldi &&
mv queue.old/bounce/$oldi queue/bounce/$newi
test -f queue.old/todo/$oldi &&
mv queue.old/todo/$oldi queue/todo/$newi
done
Then it should be OK to restart the queue and smtpd.

It's easier to install another copy of qmail, whose queue is in the
right place, then just run them both in parallel.

Just for an unsolicited opinion:
I work for a corporate partner/customer of Critical path, and have found them
to be extrememly knowledgeable, laid back and a pleasure to work with.
Their main product is outsourced email solutions for small to large corporations
using web-based administration and reader front-ends.
I was unaware that they used qmail, but it doesn't surprise me. they are all about
speed of delivery, security of the mail passing to and from their care, and
data consistency. Qmail offers all of that.
For what its worth,

Critical Path was also featured on a News Hour story on PBS when they
were spotlighting forthcoming spam legislation.
This is cool to see. Qmail creating jobs. I just hope it never gets to
the point of something like "Qmail certification".

I survived 'em (and all the flamewars since early '96...) but my vote for

Hi people,
I'm runing RH5.1, linux 2.2.0.
There is no more sendmail.
I just set up Qmail (rpm 1.0.3-6) following
instruction from Mini-Howto by Ying Zhang
(http://www.sfu.ca/~yzhang/linux/qmail/index.html)
I'm using ucspi-tcp-0.84.
When i do /etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail start, all the exe seems
to start (ps -auxf).
But when I try "telnet localhost 25", there is no
welcome message from qmail and I can't quit (even
with "^]" ) !!
Any help is welcome.

Does /etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail have a command in it to start qmail-smtpd? What
is that command?

I'm not sure to whom I should report this. Mate Wierdl ?
In the memphis RPM for linux (very nice), there's a slight problem:
The file /etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail.init
contains
DEFAULT_DELIVERY="`cat $QMAILHOME/defaultdelivery/rc`"
and /var/qmail/defaultdelivery/rc is the file
---begin file---
# Using qmail-local to deliver messages to ~/Mailbox by default.
./Mailbox
---end file---
This means that upon execution of the init file,
DEFAULT_DELIVERY will be the string
"# Using qmail-local to deliver messages to ~/Mailbox by default. ./Mailbox"
all on one line, which is incorrect.
(It's a feature of backquoting in sh, that it removes newlines)
I just removed the comment and it worked.
It was with the RPM qmail-1.03-11ucspi.i386.rpm
Florent
This means that upon execution of the init file,
DEFAULT_DELIVERY will be the string
"# Using qmail-local to deliver messages to ~/Mailbox by default. ./Mailbox"
all on one line, which is incorrect.
(It's a feature of backquoting in sh, that it removes newlines)
$ DEFAULT_DELIVERY="`cat /var/qmail/defaultdelivery/rc`"
$ echo "$DEFAULT_DELIVERY"
# Using qmail-local to deliver messages to ~/Mailbox by default.
./Mailbox
Note the quoting in the echo line.
It is another matter that it is not good to see this darn thing when
running ps, so I will change this in the next release.

Yeah, sorry, I did my test with echo $DEFAULT_DELIVERY. Stupid me.
And you're right, it's ps who prompted me to this in the first place.
Florent.
Dan said that the best defense against spam is to create appropriate
laws against it.
But what is the reality of this in a country where it is legal to air
ads in every five minutes (with increased volume so even if you dare
to go to the bathroom, you will hear it) in the middle of a TV show?
Apparently, Americans got used to it, so they will get used to seeing
spam too.
Of course, one can try to escape the TV ads by watching PBS. So
perhaps one could try the same thing with email: create a channel for
email that can be used only by nonspammer domains. When a domain
wants to sign up for the channel, they have to satisfy certain tests,
like relaying only already signed up domains, and using a prescribed
software to protect the channel from intruders. A new domain's
authoritative personnel would also have to sign document containing
the basic rules.
It is probably easy to pass laws regarding breaking rules for this
channel. The laws could me made international. If a country has no
laws or means to enforce the rules, they cannot use the channel.

Onother nice (IMHO) approach was that a SMTP server only accepts eMails
from the well known mail-servers of this domain.
E.g. someone with a sender address @aol.com will be rejected unless
it is from an AOL mailserver.
This will require of course a lot of "overhead" for ISPs, but maybe
one could add also "trusted" mailservers that may speak for other
domains, too.
LDAP could be our friend in this topic.

Hi all. I am setting up a test of qmail as a replacement for sendmail on
our new external mailhub/web server. Our structure is as follows:
We have an external mailhub which the world sees as the MX for our
domain, rmc.ca. All mail for rmc.ca is processed by the external
mailhub. Spam, relayed mail, unresolvable return domains etc are
bounced, and anything for rmc.ca, or any of the other defined relay
domains is passed on to our internal mailhub (Netscape Messaging Server)
for delivery into the users mailbox, usually accessed from there via
IMAP.
I now have qmail installed on the new machine as per the install
instructions and it is working. Now I must configure it to relay mail to
the internal mailhub. I have added the appropriate domains to my
"rcpthosts" file. Do I need to modify any other files? How do I tell
qmail to send this mail to the internal hub?

By putting my top domain in the defaulthost file on my external hub (MX
for the domain) will that automagically rewrite the _sender_ address on
outgoing email? Rewriting will not be necesary for 99% of my users but
there are a few who might be running thier own Unices and need to have
headers rewitten. Will it affect anything else?
Another question, I want all mail for my domain forwarded to my internal
hub _except_ for mail directed to the external hub itself. There is a
mailing list server on the external hub, so mail sent to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] must be managed locally.
Now lists.mydomain is an alias for the external hubs real name. But I
have the following in my smtproutes file:
rmc.ca:sol1.rmc.ca
.rmc.ca:sol1.rmc.ca
Will this cause mail for the external hub to be forwarded to the
internal hub, which would then redirect the mail to the external hub ad
nauseum? Should I use explicit entries in smtphosts for each domain I
want to forward instead of the catch all ".rmc.ca:..."?

Hi !
To: EVERYBODY in this list (And a BIG: "Beg your pardon" to PAIR), who is,
or was "spammed" by my Fetchmail-"experiment"....
Guilt-stricken as i am right now, Most of you certainly ask, why didn�t you
tell me before ? (My head was cut off by me and by some off you), i have to
apologise for that type of mail:
[[EMAIL PROTECTED]: failure notice]
I will stop that. (I�ve done it today, but maybe some mails got stuck
somewhere...)
And please, all of you who took the clue to set DATABYTES=1
for relay1.pair.com, please change it anyway, cause there a about 80 domains
(i guess..,not just mine!)
which are relaying thru this machine....
So far about my "spamming".
yours
th.
Greetings
I can't find this in the FAQ, please excuse me if it is there really, but
under a guise I can't understand !
My local domain here is cjx.com, but this is a small network, and email
is smtp'd away from here to the *real* cjx.com, which is connected to
the 'net.
Via qmail, email is queued up perfectly, and sent via ppp pop3 with serialmail.
However, there are a number of users on cjx.com (not at the local site) who
people here need to email. If they email [EMAIL PROTECTED], it simply bounces
saying (obviously) no such user at the local site. How can I get mail which
is addressed to cjx.com users, but which is not found matched up with a real
local user, to be forced to leave the local site ?
I hope I've explained this clearly; many thanks in advance for any help.
Regards
Jamie Allen

As far as I understand it, you have a wildcard virtualdomain queueing
all external mail in a maildir to be sent off with serialmail whenever
convenient. Just add a file ~alias/.qmail-default putting mail in the
same maildir.

hi,
is it possible to add header lines for each mail which qmail deliveres? I
think about
X-mailed-through: myServer
Mailed-from: $SENDER
Forwarded-To: $TO
Thank you,
Michael
I assume you want to add these headers to incoming messages. Invoke
reformail from the appropriate .qmail file. reformail is part of the
maildrop package.

no, i want to add these header-files to all messages (=> outgoing is
interesting). In sendmail you can do something like:
H?M?X-sent-by: qmail
H?M?X-homepage: visit us @ www.qmail.org
This is added to *all* messages sendmail handles.
Perhaps there is a way .-)

That will work if you wish to reject mail based on IP address.
If a user wishes to lose mail from aol.com, he can simply put

I have been wondering why is not there a simple support in qmail to
filter incoming mail and then forward it to a file.
1) How about condredirect would understand that if an address starts
with / or "." then it has to forward to a maildir or mbox? Like
|condredirect ./fakesinceheisnotaround/ [ "`822field from`" = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" ]
2) How about something similar for forward:
|reformail -I"X-Envelope-Sender: $SENDER" | forward ./Maildir/
Mate
Ok here's a quick hack, but it works...
Follow these steps:
1. copy the code below to a file and make it 755.
2. add the full path and name of file to your .qmail
ex:
| /acct/staff/lcl/mailtofile
3. make sure you change the variables for $file and $which_sender to your
desired values.
4. Email me let me know if it works for you, and how I could improve :)
5. I know that the variables could be passed on the command line, but
thats more work than I can do while eating my lunch!

I don't see any mutual exclusion in there. If two deliveries overlap,
your $file might get strange. Various tools (like Dan's setlock) can
do the job, but qmail really should come with deliver-to-file and
deliver-to-maildir programs, to avoid the reinvention of square

Hi all. Qmail is delivering to local addresses from both local and
remote senders. But it is not delivering to remote addresses, whether
from a local or remote sender. Any ideas?

yeah, it's not supposed to.
You need to enable relaying, using the RELAYCLIENT environment variable.
see the faq:

No - which is a real pity...
Most new MUAs (Outlook/Exchange, Netscape, MUTT) support DSN, and it doesn't
matter if DSN isn't that great an idea - it's still there and people like
getting receipts to important messages :-(
I have to tell people when sending messages to "CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED]"
- if the get a bounce, then their message was delivered to the site
correctly ;-)

What does the cur/ directory under Maildir/ do?
I am having problem with it when using qmail-imap and imp.

It's for storing messages that the user has seen, but does not wish to
remove from the maildir.

It's the first time I (try to) install a mail server, and I'm a bit lost
with all these files...
My goal is to have a mail server for a local network with lot of win9x
and a not-permanent
connection to Internet (ppp to ISP). We now have FTGate under NT, I say
to my boss that
Linux is cheaper, more stable, well, just better than NT...
I'm sure that I can replace the FTGate by qmail. :-)

No, but tcpserver should, and it does. Only when an incoming

Try running telnet localhost 25. If you don't get a response, then
there is a problem.

That user needs a ~/qmail/ directory for mbox delivery to
./qmail/inbox to work.

So your queue was messed up somehow. This never happens in regular
qmail operation, so it must be a case of finger trouble or manually
poking at the queue. Get Russell Nelons qmail-qsanity script (found
at <URL:http://www.qmail.org/>) and run it to fix the problem.
Complain to Russell if the script does not work. 8-)

It's not trivial, no. Some people find Dan's qmail pictures helpful.
Others find the `big qmail pictures' helpful (also available via the
qmail Web page mentioned above).
| My goal is to have a mail server for a local network with lot of win9x

Then you are going to need serialmail as well. Yes, even more stuff
to understand and install - you can find serialmail at Dan's FTP site
(where qmail comes from).

Of course, we can all agree to that. But a Linux solution is not free
either: You have to invest the time needed to understand the systems
you are using. If your time is valuable, the initial cost may well be
higher than for the NT solution, but Linux will pay off in the long
run. (This is an indisputable religious fact.)

And good luck with this project! I'm sure you can too.
