It is definitely remote.

Has anyone used supervise to control apache, or squid, or mysql?
Any sample scripts would be appreciated...

Not me, but I'll offer an observation, since people frequently
misunderstand this (I am not saying you are one of these people):
You cannot use supervise to control daemons that fork to put
themselves in the background. If the program has an option to run in
the foreground, use it (though that sometimes has the side effect of
turning on tons of debugging). Otherwise, you must modify the program
to run in the foreground, or else abandon the supervise idea.

I am aware of this limitation; in fact, it's one of the main reasons I
am asking the question!

Mainly interface with a custom made user db. Totally independent of the
patches on www.qmail.org.

message has not reached its retry time. Try sending an ALRM signal to
qmail-send, and see if it bounces.

No patch needed.
Run tcpserver with the -p (PARANOID) option. Now, if it receives a
connection, and there is no PTR for that IP, tcpserver will unset the
TCPREMOTEHOST variable. Then instead of running qmail-smtpd directly, run a
shell script, like this:
#!/bin/sh
[ "X$TCPREMOTEHOST" = "X" ] && exit
exec /path/to/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
If you like, you can use echo to send some text to stderr before exiting
when there is no PTR record. Then, if you're logging tcpserver's activity,
you can log when connections are dropped.
However, note that in my experience i have not seen any adverse effects of
allowing connections from sites which have no PTR records. Why do you want
to reject these connections?

inlocal should contain jpcadcz-beta, because that's the username seen by
ezmlm (because of virtual mapping). However, the latest ezmlm-idx can work
without this manual tweaking, if you use it with qmail 1.03. Try to upgrade
to ezmlm-idx 0.32.

I had the same problem. Which virutal domain package are you using?
edit the inlocal file in the mailing list directory and prepend
"jpcad.cz-" to the name of the list. So it should say jpcad.cz-beta

This really is for the [EMAIL PROTECTED] Edit DIR/inhost to contain
"xxx-beta" where your virtual domain definition is "jpcad.cz:xxx" (for
details, see the ezmlm-make man page or the ezmlm-idx FAQ under
"virtual domain").
Laternatively, upgrade your installation to ezmlm-idx-0.315 or -0.322
which should not require inlocal/inhost at all, provided that you run
qmail>=1.02. Send me private E-mail if this doesn't fix it.
If you don't know your qmail version, do:
% strings /var/qmail/bin/qmail-local | grep DEFAULT
If it's there, your version is ok.

hey, im running qmail 1.03 and have my smtproutes set up like so
.quintiles.com:[10.1.1.1]
quintiles.com:[10.1.1.1]
but when qmail sends to domains like
somedomain.quintiles.com
it seems to be doing a dns lookup to find out where to send the mail to..
isnt this supposed to be captured in the first line? .quintiles.com:[10.1.1.1]
I want it set up so that ANY domain.quintiles.com goes to 10.1.1.1

Jason

Read rfc-index.txt, available from all good RFC repositories. Also,
for well-established standards there is std-index.txt, which is a lot
quicker when what you need is there.

hi,
How can I setup a QMAIL as a backup mail server, what I have in mind ?!
I have other email server (under NT) and I want if it is down the second mail
server (in this case QMAIL) to recieve and send mail and second, users still to
have access to their POP3 mail boxes.
If this is not posiblle with different mail servers then how with 2 QMAIL
servers. What about of synchronizing them if they use a separate storage space
(2 diff. HDD on 2 diff. computers.).
What about many mail servers ?!?!
Any thoughts, proposals, opinions ..... are welcome.
Thanx alot in advance

One way is to have an nfs server and two qmail servers. Put all
the user maildirs on the nfs server and mount them on the two
mail servers. Each mail server should have a qmail queue installation
on thier local disk.

I did two things to resolve this issue.
Remember that there are only two hosts in this scenario: an internal
sendmail host and a qmail/gateway host.
/etc/sendmail.cf go this to set my official domain name
Dj$w.nylug.org
and I per Adam McKenna's advice, I "put a domain that resolves into
/var/qmail/control/helohost."
Thanks again for all of your help.

i have a little question regarding open smtp's performance under heavy load.
Running a separate shell process and then recreate tcprules for every pop3
connection looks like an overkill for me. We have a 3000+ users serer here
and we HAVE to implement some kind of authentication before relaying and we
can not just allow certain IP's as few of our customers are using IPass or
public dialups here.
If opensmtp is not suitable for us then could you poing me to any alternative?
Krzysztof Dabrowski
I am using Russel Nelson's POP3 before SMTP very successfully here on a
single server handling > 10,000 users. I had to modify it slightly
though. My tcprules update code makes sure that I have not already got a
rule that covers the new IP before adding it.
This works well and I will be expanding it in the next month to handle
multiple mail servers working off of a common tcprules set. I will post
my results when I am done. :)

Good. can you send me that modifications? I've got a simple c routine to
remove duplicates but it requires a sorting of the input file so it takes
too much time.
Could you respond right now as i have to leave work and i would like to

anyone using qmail to relay to louts notes? we are doing this now by using qmail
to relay to our internal lotus notes server.
The notes server only allows 8 incomming smtp sessions at a time.. when i dump
my queue by sending -ALRM to qmail-send, it only seems to dump a few messages..
the notes guy says that notes can only accept a session from 1 ip address at a
time, but that it can reveive multiple messages with that 1 session.. anyway, my
qmail queue that forwards to the notes box just keeps growing..
another thing, how often does qmail-send go through its queue by default? is
there any way to change it?

Jason

You can set up a seperate qmail for that host and configure it with
concurrencyremote=1. Actually, you could even install sendmail with a
private queue to deliver to that server.
Qmail is a little smarter than sendmail. It uses a quadratic backoff,
so the interval for any given message increases as the message ages.
You may be able to hack it in the source, but make sure you understand
it first. There is a lot of magic in qmail timing.
If qmail makes one successful delivery and then two attempts time out,
it will mark the host as down and not try it for 1 hour (qmail-tcpto).
You may have better luck if you do qmail-tcpok before the -ALRM.

There is an utility called sslwrap that might help. What it does is
create an SSL encrypted link for services that usualy start from inetd
(and maybe tcpserver).

We have just recently spun up a new mail server running qmail 1.03.
The problem I am running into is the moderate amount of email from the few hours
our main server was offline that has seemed to get stuck in the queue.
What would be the least painful and most efficient way of getting mail from the
queue on mail2 to be delivered to the mailboxes now existing on mail1
I remember not so long ago a similar problem was posted and answered on the list,
but I can't seem to find the answer I am looking for
Any help is appreciated

I'm using Paul Gregg's checkpasswd setup to create pop users that are not system
users. It's working great, but now I need to add
mail quotas. So, I'm attempting to use his mailquotacheck.sh, from
http://www.tibus.net/pgregg/projects/qmail/mailquotacheck/mailquotacheck.sh
I can't quite get it, and have a few questions I think will help.
1) What directory should the script go in?
2) What exactly is the format of the .qmail file when using this script?
A few more details. I have the script in /var/qmail/bin. My .qmail in each $HOME
looks like this:
|mailquotacheck
./Maildir/
I've also tried:
|/var/qmail/bin/mailquotacheck.sh
./Maildir/
Should these be on the same line? Do I need the full path to the script? Should I
include the ".sh".
Thanks is advance,
Peter Janett
Hi all:
I have a question.
Anyone have an idea how to automate the creation of virtual users thru a
shell script.. So I can supply the password on the command line?
like
./vadduser <account> <password>
instead of it having to prompt me?
Basiaclly I'm pulling userId's and cleartest Pw's out of an internal
database and then submitting them to vadduser
Thanks for any ideas/help.

What are you using to manage your virtual domains? If it's vmailmgr, use
vaddusers (not vadduser). If it's not, then I don't know.
You'd probably have better luck posting this question on your virtual domain
software's mailing list. It's really not a qmail question.
