If I understand you correctly, you want mail to be pumped through
procmail--and to be delivered to a maildir if it falls through all of
your procmail filters.
The qmail way to do that is to put something like this in your
.qmail-ext file:
|preline procmail
./Maildir/
To make this work, your "rejecting" recipes must return exit code 99,
telling qmail to ignore the next instruction(s). Be aware that
procmail itself has a default delivery instruction, for mails that
"fall through", and you don't want to trigger it. A recipe like this,
as your last recipe, should do the trick:
:0
/dev/null
On the other hand, there is an easier way (YMMV). You can use the
patched procmail which can do maildir deliveries, and make your last
recipe a maildir delivery--or set $DEFAULT appropriately in the rc
file.
If you'd rather not use a patched procmail (my preference), there is a
program which does maildir delivery of messages posted on stdin--just
what you need. It's called "safecat", and it's available at the URL:
<http://www.pobox.com/~lbudney/linux/software/safecat.html>
To use it, make your last recipe the following:
:0w
|safecat $HOME/Maildir/tmp $HOME/Maildir/new
Used in this way, procmail+safecat should be as safe as qmail's own
maildir delivery.

To do that, you need a mail user agent (MUA) that injects mail via
SMTP, rather than invoking a program such as /usr/lib/sendmail.

Basically, what I am trying to do is to have normal delivery (i.e,,
[EMAIL PROTECTED], the virtual domain, would get delivered to
[EMAIL PROTECTED], our primary domain, for all users) excepting specific
individuals whom [EMAIL PROTECTED] must get forwarded to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
because there already is someone with that username on our primary domain.
In sendmail, it was a virtusertable
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
LHS original, RHS, final. But from the docs on Qmail it looks as if I put
domain1.com:domain1com
In virtualdomains
and make ~alias/.qmail-domain1com-user
&[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Then I have to figure out what to do with the *rest* of the users at
domain1.com, and if I create ~alias/.qmail-domain1com it may even screw up
delivery for this one. Or am I way off base here?

You can handle the rest of the domain1.com users by creating a
~alias/.qmail-domain1com-default. E.g., to forward them elsewhere:
|/var/qmail/bin/forward "$LOCAL"@domain2.com

O.K - did all that.
created a new user test
and the Maildir plus sub-folders appeared
Problem is, when I test, it keeps creating a Mailbox and doesn't deliver to
Maildir :(
I'm getting there though, mail goes out and comes in O.k. into the right users
home, just not into Maildir.
Fetchmail works as well, haven't figured out how to do multi-pop's but I'll hop
onto the fetchmail mailing list for that.
Thanks for everyone that answered. making up my own 'simple' doc/howto.

Which one did you do? If you just did the mkdir commands, then thats not
correct. If you did the maildirmake command you should be fine.
If you did the mkdir commands, create a file called .qmail which contains
"./Maildir/" without the quotes. This is all done automatically I believe
if you use maildirmake.

No, Maildirmake does not make the .qmail file. He must make the qmail file
on his own.

Still creating a 'Mailbox' even after I deleted it when test mail arrives.
Must have missed something in the config...but what ?
Any more clues ??/

Beats me. Do "ls -l ~/.qmail; cat ~/.qmail".

It's better to change "aliasempty" in the qmail-start invocation from
./Mailbox to ./Maildir/ than to require every user to have a ~/.qmail
file.

Hi qmailers,
I come back with qmail filters.
I'm looking for a single patch or a clear method for filtering smtp
connections (in qmail-smtpd?) depending on the envelope (both sender
and receiver) and the remote IP address (or any environment variable
established by tcpd). It also would be useful to filter by the data.
I read about Sam Varshavchik's SMTP antispam filter patch but it
doesn't pass envelope's receiver and uses maildrop as filter. Why
doesn't use a general scripting language as Perl?
I found some old posts in mailing list about a wrapper for qmail-queue
but there isn't any patch.
Thanks in advance for your help,
David Jorrin.

Hello qmailers,
Here's the setup:
Right now I have qmail set up on a machine called "mail1". Since I want
to offload mail serving to a different machine, I went ahead and got
qmail set up on the new machine called "mail2". I've got all the user
accounts set up and everything is tested and working well on mail2.
Now then, when I change the MX record for our domain so that everything
is forwarded to mail2 instead of mail1, I am sure that there will be
some mail sent to mail1 for a couple of days until the dns update
propagates. How can I set up mail1 so that everything is forwarded to
mail2 so that my users don't have to check two mail servers?
Thanks,
Sean

Sean,
There is no need to do this. You do not have to wait for DNS to propogate
through the internet, just make your best-preference MX a lower number than
your current one. Most people have MX 10 for the primary mail server.
Make it MX 5. Then, go edit your qmail/control/smtproutes file and add
the domain you wish to catch mail for. Qmail will not deliver locally if
the name exists in smtproutes, instead if will wait for the best preference
MX to return to life and forward all mail to it.

Having a problem with getting qmail started after a system upgrade...(from
Solaris 2.5.1 to 2.6). This is what I had in my startup script (which used
to work fine!):
nice -20 env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" qmail-start ./Mailbox splogger
qmail &
====
I added the following line to inetd.conf and HUP'd the daemon.
smtp stream tcp nowait qmaild /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env tcp-env
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
Here's what I get in /var/adm/messages:
May 3 12:12:42 control qmail: 925758762.778242 alert: cannot start:
unable to open mutex
This machine is not a heavy user oriented mail server...our main mail
server has tcpserver installed, but this one doesn't.
Any help appreciated;

Do "make check" from the qmail source directory.

the nice command is fairly pointless -- qmail bottlenecks on disk i/o on
any machine with enough memory. if it doesn't have enough memory it'll
probably not make much difference, and adding the memory will help more.
Hi!
Is it possible to have the default inbox not $HOME/Mailbox, but different
file, say $HOME/.INBOX?
This is for default (system-wide) setting, not user per user setting
(which should be done with .qmail file).
Thanks.

Hi,
I am running rblsmtpd under tcpserver, and I
would like the error messages to be saved to
a log file instead of being directed to stderr.
Is there a way that I can do this?

Pipe the output to splogger or cyclog (which comes with the daemontools

Hi -
I have a error when I try to send an email with netscape: The domain isn't in
my list of allowed rcpthosts.
It appears only if I send an email to an external address. (If I send an email
to my local address which is also the qmail server address, it works!)
I have no problems if I use pine.
I read the FAQ, the mailing list archive, and impossible to find anything that
help me.
I have also an empty hosts.allow and hosts.deny files.
I also tried to put something in my rcpthosts file:
#my address -> qmail
x.y.z.w:allow
127.0.0.1:allow
No success.
What is THE PROBLEM ??
I specified in the outgoing mail (SMTP) server (in netscape) the right address.
Also, I don't know if there is any link, but I am using a pop3 server, using as
specified in the FAQ:
tcpserver 0 110 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup my.server.edu \
/bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir &
If someone can help that would be great! I spent to many time on this problem.
I have also an other question:
I'm using the maildir box format. Obvioulsy, I can't use Maildir with pine.
What to do?
Any URLs or informations about this are welcome!
ThankS!
Steph

You haven't read the documentation. If you had, you wouldn't be putting stuff
like the above in your rcpthosts file.
