Hi,
Why is the command "svc -dx /var/lock/svc/pop3" not stopping the
service ?.
When I type the comand "svstat /var/lock/svc/pop3" it says
"blablabla up pgid blablabla, want down".
Is really "svc -dx /var/lock/svc/pop3" the right way to stop the
service ?
I'm running RH6 + Bruce Guenter's *.rpm's.
(And yes..., I *have* mailed Bruce about this but he couldn't tell)

Hi,
is it possible to simulate sendmails SmartHost feature ?
Our IP management system can not handle MX records. Though, there are all
hosts in the DNS but no email domains. I want to configure qmail to send mails
to hosts in the local domain directly and all other mails (to subdomains or
internet) to the email hub.
~qmail/control/smtproutes:
.domain.org:
:mail.domain.org
Does not do what I want, because dep.domain.org is not in the DNS.
There are too many names not in the DNS to list them in the smtproutes file.
Cheers
Bernhard

How hard did you look? Digest mode is mentioned many times in
ezmlm's documentation. Try:
% apropos digest | grep ezmlm
% man ezmlm | grep digest

I use a program called Logwatch to scan through logs daily and report on
activity. You can get it from rpmfind.net and use it to scan for specific
things within logs as you choose.

If you don't have any local or virtual domains, ~alias/.qmail-default never
handles the delivery. See /var/qmail/doc/PIC.local2rem. All mail is delivered
remotely by qmail-remote; only qmail-local cares about .qmail files.
What you want to do is make whatever domains you're handling in your
fastforward file virtual domains, with something like this in
control/virtualdomains:
domain1.com:alias-virtuals
domain2.com:alias-virtuals
domain3.com:alias-virtuals
In ~alias/.qmail-virtuals-default you can put your fastforward line.
Chris
ok, that works great, but now when i email a real address
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (that is not an alias) I get
failure: Sorry,_no_mailbox_here_by_that_name
the only ones that I want intercepted by fastforward are the ones
i have defined, the rest should not be considered local..

For those interested in the court's opinion (thanks to Cindy
Cohn): http://jya.com/bernstein-9th.htm
Or from the 9th Court of Appeals:

My take: the ruling is great. However, I will not for a moment
believe that the NSA (through the EAR) will let this slide. They'll press
for an additional ruling which will overturn this ruling. 'Round and
'round it'll go, like a dog chasing its tail. Finally, it'll go up to the
U.S. Supreme Court (following an unfavorable ruling), and the Supreme
Court will "mysteriously" refuse to hear it, and thus the lower court
ruling against Bernstein will stand.
Been there, seen it, done it, got the t-shirt.

I haven't yet tried this, but I believe you can get RH to stop throwing
sendmail at you during the install simply by creating an empty RPM, naming
it sendmail, and setting it's version to 99.99, or something like that. I
do not believe that RH's installer overwrites high-versioned RPMs.
Well, I have not tried to do this with sendmail proper, but I had
nmh-1.0 installed, and it got replaced by 6.0's nmh-0.27 during the upgrade.
Sad.
Mate
The RedHat Kickstart install alleviates all your sendmail woes. I use the
Kickstart install method on our network here and it's great! I have one
floppy that I use for all our servers: I stick in the floppy and walk
away. No sendmail, all qmail.
It works just as well installing from the local CD-ROM. I have never used
it for an upgrade but I'm sure the same lines I used for removing sendmail
in the install would work the same for upgrade. You have full control
after the install. It's like typing in commands at the bash prompt on the
second VT, but it's all automated.
If anyone is interested I have a big slew of Kickstart files. I think it's
the best way to install, it's probably just as good for upgrading aswell.

Another funny thing is that the 6.0 upgrade moved my pine.conf to
pine.conf.rpmsave, and replaced it with *nothing*. Funny, funny...

It's not a bug, it's a feature. When upgrading, RPM will keep
configuration files only if it is reasonably sure that any custom-made
changes to config files won't break the new version. Hopefully, there will
be messages in /tmp/INSTALL.LOG specifying which config files have been
reset, and where.

rpm -ql pine will probably tell you that the new pine doesn't include a
pine.conf in /usr/lib. It's now (correctly) in /etc.

Exactly.

I decided to run a supervised copy of qmail. As I found in the list archiv,
I was not the first one who has trouble with the pipe in the /var/qmail/rc
file:
exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" \
qmail-start ./Mailbox accustamp | setuser qmaill cyclog /var/log/qmail
But I also found that the online FAQ on djb's qmail page has changed on how
to use cyclog. It says now:
Replace splogger qmail with sh -c 'accustamp | cyclog /var/qmail/log'.
Now my /var/qmail/rc file with
exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" \
qmail-start ./Mailbox sh -c 'accustamp | cyclog /var/log/qmail'
works without any problem under supervise.
I hope this information is helpful.

I have written a perl script using the NNTPClient module that forwards
from a .qmail-alias to a local newsgroup. The script work fine, but I
would like some help to see if I can get the header info removed from the
top of each message as it appears in the forwarded posting.
Also, if there is interest in the script I can forward to individuals or
the list.
Samuel
This is the header info I would like to get rid of:

Could you give an url then? I wanna disallow receiving/sending mail from
_some_ illegal domains too..

On Monday I'll go working and I'll upload the most recent version to a
public site. I've put the error sending directly after checking (eg. into
the MAIL FROM: parsing) and implemented distinguish between DNS hard and
soft errors.

I want to bounce back EVERYTHING that arrives on my mail server (qmail)
and has an attachment of type .exe, no matter how many .qmail-this and
.qmail-that are scattered around.
Filtering the body against the appropriate MIME headers shouldn't be a
problem. My question is, where is the place to intercept ALL incoming
messages?

The three easiest picks are
1. A wrapper around qmail-smtpd - but it's too much a work
probably
2. A wrapper around qmail-queue (see www.qmail.org for patch that
allows you to run another program) - you would probably return
SMTP hard error
3. A catch-all virtual domain; you'll have probably to fiddle around
with two instances of qmail and/or RELAYCLIENTs.

Sorry if this has been discussed before. Only thing I could find related
was a short thread on running sshd with supervise.
I'm trying to supervise a daemon that forks and detaches itself from the
TTY, but supervise appears to be trying to restart it every second. The
daemon I want to supervise has no switch to tell it not to detach from the
TTY, so is there anything I can do to use supervise with this daemon?
Also, what is the major factor in this scenario...is the problem that the
parent immediately forks, or that it detaches from the TTY. It would seem
that supervise could simply watch the parent and restart it...so I'm
inclined to think the fork (without exit) isn't the real problem. Am I
wrong?

possibly, but you don't know if it's /just/ done the CRLF '.' CRLF at the
end of the message and is waiting for the confirmation back, in that case
you might end up with duplication.
myself, for a linux system only (killall behaving completely differently
on a solaris machine!!] I do the following in my qmail.init script
svc -d -x /var/qmail/supervise
while (killall -0 qmail-send) do
echo waiting for qmail to exit
sleep 5
done
the shutdown script then spins waiting for qmail-send to shutdown tidily
before proceeding with the rest of the shutdown scripts

Were you having problems with all outside hosts, or just some?
We're running ~2000 inbound and ~1000 outbound messages a day, and so
far only had one site (or one ISP, covering two sites) let us know they have
this problem.

Hello,
What would be a basic configuration for a secondary MX, whose
only role would be "queue everything allowed (rcpthosts) and
send'em when primary comes back up ?"
Is rcpthosts + smtproutes sufficient ?
Thanks.

rcpthosts is all you need. Add any domain you're secondary MX for to rcpthosts
and nowhere else.

What problem are you trying to solve?

rcpthosts is sufficient; smtproutes is not needed unless the DNS is
misconfigured.

Isn't smtproutes needed for when the primary MX goes down? Otherwise QMAIL
will attempt to deliver locally rather than store messages until the
primary MX goes back up?

Nope, that's why you don't put it anywhere but rcpthosts. If the
primary host is down, an SMTP client will deliver it here. This
machine will happily receive it since it's in rcpthosts, however
there's no entry in locals or virtualdomains, the mail is marked as
remote. If there was no better MX record, THEN the mail would
bounce. But there is -- the primary server.
I didn't see your explanation of the problem that you expect to solve
with a secondary MX record, though.

Qmail should see that it is not the best MX for a domain and then send it
to the best MX periodically.

If you are using AutoTURN:
Standard autoturn does:
maildirsmtp $TCPREMOTEIP autoturn-$TCPREMOTEIP- $TCPREMOTEIP AutoTURN
man maildirsmtp:
maildirsmtp dir prefix host helohost
So autoturn is looking for a maildir called "as an ip address".
If you are not using AutoTURN:
I don't know :-)

Is there a way for a user to force a bounce out of ~/.qmail, with an

The canonical method is:
|echo "Go away, you clueless luser"; exit 100
The only problem is when you get spammed at that address, because
typically a spammer's envelope sender is a total fabrication.

A few people asked to see a kickstart install, so I'll post them here. I
know this is more system administration, but it is generally useful.
This is the kickstart file. You put it on your boot floppy and call it
ks.cfg. Then at the lilo prompt type linux ks=floppy. And you walk away
and have a coffee. The last server I build took 6 minutes.
You usually have to erase the *.msg files on the boot disk to make room
for the kickstart configuration file.
If you want to have the boot floppy go immediately into the install then
change the syslinux.cfg to read:
default ks
label ks
prompt 0
kernel vmlinuz
append ks initrd=initrd.img
Then you just stick in the floppy and walk away.
There is also a good KickStart-HOWTO at one of the many LDP sites. Tells
you how to make your own custom install. I just keep everything here on
our network and just FTP anything else I need from our repository machine
on the network. Whatever floats your boat!
This file works great for 5.2, but the rpm install in the %post section
of the kickstart doesn't seem to want to work in 6.0. I've asked some @
Redhat about it so we'll see. The source for the install doesn't seem to
be on any of the redhat FTP sites so I can't tell what's wrong (the source
wasn't anywhere I could find it anyway.). I'm sure it will work by the
time Redhat is selling CDs, which will be in a couple of days.
If anyone has anymore kickstart questions, feel free to drop me a line.
It's saved me billions of hours. And it's a great way to have a set of
consistent machines.

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to cause bounced message to go to "another
address". We send out messages to customers on behalf of our agents.
When a message bounces, we want it to bounce to the "agent", not to the
sender of the message.
Each agent has their own email address. Is there something I can put in
the header like:
Bounce-to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Or is there any other way to do it? We run Qmail and are VERY happy
with it.
Thanks,
Dick

RTFM RFC821.
Set the correct message envelope sender for your outgoing mail, using the
-f option to qmail-inject.

Set the envelope sender:

Just as a clarification, Return-Path: contains the envelope address?
This would be taken from the "MAIL FROM:" in the sendmail dialog,
right?

When I set the From: field in an outgoing message, qmail changes it to
me. The way I read the qmail documentation, it is not supposed to do
this (by default anyway). I expect I must have something configured to
be causing this.
When I set the From: field, I want qmail to leave it alone.
Can anyone suggest what I may have mis-configured, or why qmail is
changing my From: field on all my outgoing messages?
I have read all the qmail doc's and am just not able to find it.
Thanks,

Hi folks
I found an easy way to allow clients to use qmail as a relay form the
Intranet and
to disable relaying from the Internet. This applys only to a server with two
network
devices (One connected to the Intranet and one connected to the Internet).
But since xinetd allows multible configurations for the same service as long
as they have unique id's you could restrict relaying with "only_from" as
well.
service smtp
{
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = qmaild
id = qmail-extern
interface = X.X.X.X (real Internet IP-Address)
server = /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env
server_args = /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
}
service smtp
{
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = qmaild
id = qmail-intern
interface = 192.168.1.1
env = RELAYCLIENT=
server = /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env
server_args = /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
}
Put both configurations in your /etc/xinetd.conf and enable smtp. The only
thing added to the second configuration is the "env = RELAYCLIENT=" line.
This tells qmail to relay every mail incoming on the internal interface
without checking control/rcpthosts. Now you can get rid of tcpd.
Greetings
Roland
