hey,
I got a *nix box wich is (hopefully) going to be the mail server for a
shitload of hosts, and i don't know how to set qmail up for this :) -
meaning:
Machine's name is: bob.machine.com
i got a domain called: dudaa.com
The DNS's in place:
(MX) dudaa.com-> bob.machine.com
now, i need the mail for ie. [EMAIL PROTECTED] to go into
/domains/dudaa.com/mail/klaus/Mailbox
how is this done? :) - i can't find any help in the manual (or at least
i couldent see any)
Kind regards,
Daniel.

Try FAQ 3.2 and man qmail-users. You're also going to need a way to tell your
POP daemon to look for mail in the right place. Paul Gregg's single-user-ID
HOWTO might help (it'll require Maildir delivery):
http://www.tibus.net/pgregg/projects/qmail/single-uid-howto.txt.
You might also want to investigate vmailmgr:

Can anybody tell me where I need to call recordio from in order to get
details on local to remote messages? I put it in qmail-smtpd.init but only
got incoming mail. I'm guessing now that it has to be called with
qmail-rspawm or qmail-remote but I can't figure out how to do it.

Can't be done. recordio works by getting between the network socket
and qmail-smtpd. Since qmail-remote opens its own network connection,
there is no way to put a program in between.
If you have a problem with outgoing connections to a specific site, it
would be best if you could get the receiving end to log the
transaction. Otherwise, you could try using tcpdump (or snoop on
solaris) to capture it. A solution of sorts, albeit a difficult one,
would be to patch qmail-remote to spawn off a recordio process to sit
between itself and the socket after it has opened the connection.

Which of the several qmail imap solutions is considered the best by those who
have looked at them all?

How is the shell used by .qmail files determined?
The reason I ask is that I was using { } brackets to group commands, eg:
| { echo "To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]"; cat - } | qmail-inject
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
However, this didn't work; I got the following error:
1999-03-19 16:55:02.512345 starting delivery 419: msg 23447 to local
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
1999-03-19 16:55:02.512952 status: local 1/10 remote 0/20
1999-03-19 16:55:02.517682 delivery 419: deferral:
Syntax_error:_end_of_file_unexpected_(expecting_"}")/
1999-03-19 16:55:02.517882 status: local 0/10 remote 0/20
If I replace the { .. } with ( .. ) it works OK (I'm afraid a couple of
tests may have escaped to the list <sg>).
I believe this is valid syntax under bash, but doesn't seem to work
under sh or whatever qmail uses to run .qmail files. How is this shell
determined? Is it related to the user's default shell?
Thanks,
R.

Hardcoded as /bin/sh.

qmail-local.c: args[0] = "/bin/sh"; args[1] = "-c"; args[2] = prog; args[3] = 0;

You need a ";" before the "}".

Use the source, Luke. ;-)

switch(child = fork())

Hardcoded, in other words. Not too difficult to change though.. :-)

Huh?
[root@hades ~]# /bin/sh -c '{ echo foo; echo bar }'
foo
bar
No trailing ; needed..?

Lesson one in portable computing: That something works in one
environment does not prove it works in another. The above fails on at
least one FreeBSD and one HP-UX machine in my neighbourhood. I'm not
inclined to try testing it on the dozen or so architectures available
to me...

Yes. That's how the Bourne shell works.
| [root@hades ~]# /bin/sh -c '{ echo foo; echo bar }'
| foo
| bar
|
| No trailing ; needed..?
That's a nonstandard feature of whatever shell you've got installed as
/bin/sh.

Most likely a Linux system where sh is really bash.
[keith@dagobah gaa]$ which sh
/bin/sh
[keith@dagobah gaa]$ ls -al /bin/sh
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Nov 27 20:35 /bin/sh -> bash
[keith@dagobah gaa]$
But even the bash appears to be non-standard though since bash on FreeBSD
doesn't like the syntax either.
Oh well. Better to stick to the standard.

Hi,
I'm running qmail on Redhat 5.2. I created the Maildir and
installed all the necessary programs.
I can send messages into the queue but they don't get dequeued.
currently the message when I run 'qmail-qstat' is
messages in queue: 6
messages in queue but not yet
preprocessed: 0
Any clues?

Take a look at the logfile (/var/log/messages? /var/log/maillog?)
The reason should be logged there.

What does "my man page's is broken" mean? If it means that you don't have them,
why don't you intall a new set? You need them now, and you'll probably need
them again some time.
If you can't access them because your manpath isn't set right, you can look at
them in /var/qmail/man/cat*.
> in short, how do i setup alias under virtual domains?
FAQ 3.2, man dot-qmail. Once you've digested those, you might want to download
Dan's fastforward package. But first learn to set up some addresses without it.

has anyone modified cyclog to make the file names it generates a little more
readable/workable? It would be nice if they were rotated in the same way that
syslog files were.. i.e. mail.log, mail.log.0, mail.log.1, etc..
Has anyone done this? I know very little C, so if someone could help me out
or at least point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it.
Thanks,
Adam

[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Greetings.
I would like to announce a new GPL'ed MTA that I've developed. It's a
sendmail/qmail/etc replacement for hosts which relay to a fixed set of
"smart" relays. It is designed to be simple to configure, secure, and
easily extendable. It currently supports SMTP and QMQP via protocol
modules.
It was built because:
- I thoroughly despise sendmail's problems and configuration
difficulties
- on a relay-only host, qmail is overkill and has extra complications
- qmail-qmqpc has no queue if the upstream refuses the mail even
temporarily
A mailing list has been set up to discuss this package. To subscribe,
send an email to:

I've updated my qmail-popbull code. It includes a change to allow
multiple new bulletins to be added, and to fix the problem with using
the cur timestamp. Bruce Guenter ported it to 1.03, Brian Mullen
noticed the multiple bulletins bug, and the cur timestamp can't be
used, which was first noticed by DJB and fixed by Brett Rabe by using
a .timestamp file.
http://www.qmail.org/qmail-popbull-1.03.patch
It shares a lot of code with qmail, so it's a patch to qmail 1.03.
Only the Makefile gets changed by the patch.

Agreed. But you shouldn't vacation-reply to a subscribe confirmation
message, either, or it defeats the whole purpose. I believe that
anyone running a BSD vacation program could be forge-subscribed to
this list, since ezmlm is basically guaranteed to get a confirmation
from them.
Again, I'm not talking about mail on the list, I'm talking about the
subscribe confirmation message.

Sure, but smart MLMs use conventions that are obeyed by old software
as well as new software.

That's a good rule! But ezmlm (at least, the ezmlm daemon running
[EMAIL PROTECTED]) foils it by putting your address in the To header
when it sends you a confirmation request. It meets all of the
traditional criteria for a personal message.
