hi there,
Can you help me with setting up the QMAIL 1.03 please. I've dloaded but yet can
figure out how to setup it. So what I've done :
I dloaded .src.rpm files builded and installed them, as it seems it works i.e
runs, but from here I don't know what to do. I've searched on the Internet for
a docs but doesn't found anything good for the beginer.
No place neither on www.qmail.org, that explains the decision qmail(packges)
gets based on say configfileX and/or EnvVarX, even on the big pictures they are
simply mentoined.
Till this moment I've never run mail server under Linux, so please get my
apologies for the silly questions. OK here goes :
1. How to tell to QMAIL that mail box ( I want to use maildir, as I read it is
the preffable chioce) for user xxx is /var/qmail/maildirs/digicom-bg/xxx. I
don't know is this the right desicion for the directory place. Digicom.bg is my
domain (i've read that is best to separate dirs for every domain). So which
configuration files to change? how?
Meanwhile I've run the config-fast and as it seems /control dir is good.
2. qmail-popup doesn't start by default so at moment I must start it manualy,
is this by design? No problem for the moment when I see that all works I will
add necessary link in /rc3.d
3. The configuration must give me a choice to run more domains i.e.
virtualdomains later.
4. For the tests I use checkpasswd, but as a final desicion I want to auth
against ->SQLDB and/or ->Radius->SQLDB server (that I'm prepearing at the
moment too). I've seen that there is a auth program against Radius server but
haven't take a closer look at it.
5. For the creation of new user what I must do - makemaildir or
what ? If I auth against Radius server is it necessary to make/create .cdb
files ?
6. For these changes what I must do to make my configuration
available w/o restarting. make a "ps xa | grep qm" and you will understand me
:")
7. And finally what about the owner of all these dir's. As I read qmail is very
sensitive about who is the owner of every dir.
In general I can't understand how lspawn and pop3d daemons decide which
directory to use for delivery/listing/... operations.
If you want mail me directly, so not cluttering the list.
Thanx alot in advance.

Hi there
I just noticed that Nathan Underwood [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] is running a
series of articles on qmail for The FreeBSD 'zine (www.freebsdzine.org).
Might be useful to people running qmail under FreeBSD.

Hello!
I'm looking for a solution to use "condredirect" in this way:
The program started from condredirect should just say me if "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
is one of the recipients (to: or cc:). But "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" could also be
written as:
to: [EMAIL PROTECTED],
"user"@host .de
(from addresses(5))
So a easy "grep" will not work.
Who knows a simple way??
Many thanks,
Rob

Something like
822field to | grep -Ei '"?user"?@host[.]de'
should cover the most likely cases, I think. 822field can be found in
Dan's mess822 package.

Hi, I have a question about installing qmail
I am somewhat
of a newbie to linux, however I have somehow managed to
install it, and
network it with two other windows machines...
anyway, here is my
question..
I read the install instructions, but when I do the tests - this is
what
happens for each test
NOTE: - I have already made rc* in
the var/qmail directory
In my /var/log/messages I get that status:
local 0/10 remote 0/20 line..
whatever it is supposed to be
When I
type ps:
Nothing QMAIL related comes up, even though I have initialized it
with
csh -cf '/var/qmail/rc &'
When I run the qmail-inject
command
I get no mail (to get my mail I type #mail?, it says I have no mail
for
root) however, in the /var/log/messages file it says "delivery (1-17 or
so)
: sorry, although I'm listed as the best performance MX or A for that
host,
it isn't in my control/locals file, so I don't treat it as a local
5.4.6/"
(along with a whole lot of other stuff... my qmail /control/locals
file is
as
such:
local
dungeon.dyndns.org
mail.dungeon.dyndns.org
localhost.dungeon.dyndns.org
(but
I just kind of guessed at this configuration..)
Any Idea on how to get
this working?
Sencerely in suspense,
Jay

a sample from my /var/log/messages file

Question:
I don't undertand why everyone is talking about pine and
sendmail
is it necessary to use another email program with qmail or
just optional?
Jay
Im really new to setting up a mail server so please bear with me. I just
installed qmail on my alpha machine. Now I was looking for some good
documentation for newbies. I was just wondering if someone can get me on
the right track. All ive done was install it what do i do now? someone
please help. Thanks for all your help
I finaly got my qmail working. Well somewhat. I went to pine to try to
send out a mail but i get an error saying could not connect to
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx,25 note the ,25 at the end. I tried sending email from
another computer to the server and it goes out fine and does not bounce back
but the recipient never gets it. Also I am not able to get mail from
another machine via pop or smtp. can someone help me . thanks for your
help
I'm seeing more and more of qmail-smtpd exiting with status 256, which usually
indicates that the remote host is trying to send mail with bare linefeeds.
There have always been the occasional status 256 incidents, but it's seems that
a bare linefeed epidemic has started recently. I usually stick a line in my
tcprules file to cause messages from these hosts to be piped through addcr
before qmail-smtpd, but the list of such hosts is starting to get unmanageably
long, it's a pain in the ass to grep through the log files looking for these
things, and doing this defeats the whole purpose of rejecting the messages in
the first place. I'm sure Mirosoft is behind this somehow.
What is one to do? Are we fighting a losing battle against bare linefeeds?
Should I just give up and pipe everything through addcr, or patch the
functionality into qmail-smtpd? What would I be risking by doing so?

Be sure to patch your qmail-smtpd to log accurate descriptions of
failures. (I posted a diff a while back; other's have posted similar
patches.) It helps a lot.

You might as well change qmail-smtpd. On the one hand, if some system
sends you malformed smtp traffic any message corruption that occurs is
their fault; do you mind being a party to it? On the other hand, if
you make the change, then given correct smtp input qmail will wrongly
treat a smtp line with an embedded control-j character as two lines,
split at the control-j (because queue files are stored in unix format
instead of smtp format). (In practice, Unix systems never generate
such smtp lines, although other operating systems might.)
I about have all my qmail nuances nailed down. I just need to nail down
aliasing for sure now. I have fastforward installed in the hopes of
completely being able to disregard .qmail files in the home directory. I
would like everything to be centralized. I have been experimenting and
reading the docs and curious what the most efficient way to do the
following aliases are and if I can do them without .qmail files? Thanks
for the time. -andy

First of all, AutoTURN has nothing to do with what you're trying to achieve
here.
Add the follwing line to control/virtualdomains:
domain.com:alias-domain.com
Then create the following file:
~alias/.qmail-domain:com-default
and put in it "&[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
finally send a HUP signal to qmail-send and you'll be set.

I am correct in assuming that the other side is refusing these messages because it
can't handle <> ?
Or is there something misconfigured at my side?
