It is. Alan Curry has supplied the patch. It is available for download
from qmail home page at http://www.qmail.org. You should check out
www.qmail.org and mailing list archives before posting this VFAQ.

A better solution in my opinion is AutoTURN, as implemented in the
serialmail package. This doesn't require you to patch qmail, and works
better, especially if you're an ISP and your concurrency tends to
saturate often.

No, it's "qmail" because that's how Dan wants it. E.g.:
de5@sws5$ cd /usr/local/src/qmail-1.03/
de5@sws5$ grep Qmail *
de5@sws5$ grep qmail *|wc

NAME
qmail - overview of qmail documentation
INTRODUCTION
qmail is a secure, reliable, efficient, simple message
transfer agent.
Users who want to control incoming messages should read
dot-qmail(5). Available commands for the .qmail file
----
>From ftp://koobera.math.uic.edu/www/qmail.html:
What is it?
qmail is a secure, reliable, efficient, simple message transfer
agent. It is meant as a replacement for the entire sendmail-binmail
system on typical Internet-connected UNIX hosts.
----
Even when it's the first word of a sentence, Dan uses "qmail", not
"Qmail".
I'm not anal-retentive, I'm just trying to set the record straight. If
you can find a single instance where DJB wrote "Qmail", I'll shut up
about it.
qmail is the e.e.cummings of MTA's.

After reading this excerpt from Dan's page:
qmail: a replacement for sendmail
http://pobox.com/~djb/qmail.html
[...] Other MTAs offer a spectrum of delivery modes, from
fast+unsafe to slow+queued. qmail-send is instantly triggered
by new items in the queue, so the qmail system has just one
delivery mode: fast+queued. [...]
I concluded that `q' referred to `queue'

Hi all,
i would ask if someone have already used the pre 6 verion of amavis
with qmail, because i founded some trouble for the delivery , both loacal
and remote, amavis says ABORT no local delivery available! and so on.
Actually i use pre4 with the pacth founded here, but scanning manually it
seems to be the same code inserted into the new pre6.Any info for resolve
this???
thanks
howdy,
yup. we used it without problems.

qmail-qstat sees messages, but qmail-qread doesn't? Very odd. And
qmail-send isn't logging *anything*? Double odd.

That starts the smtp daemon, but it doesn't start qmail. You should
have a qmail-start (or /var/qmail/rc) invocation somewhere.

Sounds like it to me.

I have a qmail server set up such that it's being used as a relay (all incoming
mail just gets dumped to whatever is in smtproutes). anyway, sometimes the
machine that my qmail box is relaying to goes down or crashes, whatever. Is
there a hack to allow qmail to relay somewhere else if that host is down or if
the queue builds up to a certain number (which usually also means that the host
its trying to relay to is down)?
regards,
Jason

Yes, it's called secondary MX server in DNS configuration :-) Other
than that, no without serious hacking.

If you were somehow able to route the email thru qmtp to a qmtp
server, you can specify multiple qmtp servers. If the first connection
is dead it tries the next line in the file.
That would allow you to send to a backup machine.
Of course all three machines would have to be running qmail.
And the relay machine would have to use the mini-qmail install.
>From what I read of qmtp, it will not store the email on disk before

You might have to setup two qmail queues.

I think you're thinking of qmQp, not qmTp. The file is
qmqpservers. See the qmail-qmqpc and qmail-qmqpd man pages.

Right a qmqp client doesn't queue messages. If it can't contact one of
the listed servers, the injection fails.

That's true (of qmqp). But Bruce Guenter's nullmailer
(http://em.ca/~bruceg/nullmailer/) allows you to use qmqp and still have
queueing. I don't know much about it, but I think it supports smtp too.
Chris
yeah, but the host im relaying to is a Lotus Notes box.. So I guess theres no
good way to do it? anyone know if sendmail has this capability?

Changes to control/smtproutes take effect immediately.
Write a simple shell script to ping your primary host, and run it from
cron, every couple of minutes. If it doesn't ping, have the shell script
rewrite control/smtproutes to point to the backup IP address. Afterwards,
kick qmail-send in the ass to flush out the built up queue (that's
optional).
A five minute programming job.

Yeah, it doesn't matter.
OK, so basically smtpd works when you connect to port 25, are queueing
up in the maildir, the maildirsmtp command works when you run it
manually, but it doesn't work automatically?
Change your smtpd startup command to something like:
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -u 503 -g 502 0 smtp csh -c '
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
cd /var/qmail/autoturn
echo ========= >>/tmp/autoturnlog
date >>/tmp/autoturnlog
env >>/tmp/autoturnlog
echo "exec /usr/local/bin/setlock -nx $TCPREMOTEIP/seriallock \
/usr/local/bin/maildirsmtp $TCPREMOTEIP autoturn-$TCPREMOTEIP-$TCPREMOTEIP
AutoTURN" >>/tmp/autoturnlog
exec /usr/local/bin/setlock -nx $TCPREMOTEIP/seriallock \
/usr/local/bin/maildirsmtp $TCPREMOTEIP autoturn-$TCPREMOTEIP-$TCPREMOTEIP AutoTURN
' 2>&1 | /var/qmail/bin/splogger smtpd 3 &
Then connect to port 25 from your client and look at
/tmp/autoturnlog. Make sure the maildirsmtp command is exactly right.

Hm, OK, are setlock and maildirsmtp executable by qmaild? Are /, /usr,
/usr/local, and /usr/local/bin world executable? I'm running out of
ideas.
Perhaps replace:
exec /usr/local/bin/setlock -nx $TCPREMOTEIP/seriallock \
/usr/local/bin/maildirsmtp $TCPREMOTEIP autoturn-$TCPREMOTEIP-$TCPREMOTEIP AutoTURN
' 2>&1 | /var/qmail/bin/splogger smtpd 3 &
with:
exec /usr/local/bin/setlock -nx $TCPREMOTEIP/seriallock \
/usr/bin/strace /usr/local/bin/maildirsmtp $TCPREMOTEIP
autoturn-$TCPREMOTEIP-$TCPREMOTEIP AutoTURN
' 2>&1 >>/tmp/autoturn.strace &
and examine /tmp/autoturn.strace to see what maildirsmtp is doing.

The solution was to not use the -g or -O type options on the compile.
just straight compile.
also found out the crypt library function returns less characters as
are stored in password struct. The characters were the same, but the
password stucture had a longer crypt than from calling crypt.
sco is kinda messed up

Y2K. We're all gonna die.
Greets people,
I once again have a question. What I am trying to do is authenticate from a
merit radius server for pop3. The plan is to be hosting a number of
different domains on our mailserver and have them all authenticate from
radius(i know redundant ;). There are two problems that I forsee with this.
The radius clients file on the radius server looks at the IP of the
incomming connection, secret, type, and the file to look for. for example
the lines in clients would go something like this:
#Client Name Key [type] [version] [prefix]
#---------------- --------------- --------------- --------- --------
1.2.3.4 secret type=nas domain1
4.3.2.1 secret type=nas domain2
the obsticle I need to cross here is since the radius query would probaby
only come from the main ip of the mail server we
'd only authenticate out of the domain1 users file. Is there a way to bind a
radius client to perform queries from a certain IP so that the radius server
can distinguish where to look?
But first is first. Where can I find a C checkpasswd that will perform
radius auth anyway? I've been tinkering with that perl version, but Its not
working for me, and would like a C version mainly due to speed anyway.
Much help would be greatly appreciated, if yer not all confused already =c)

gary,
we do pop3 authentication to a heavily hacked version of radius (and the
radiusified checkpasswd on qmail.org should be the one written by monte
miztelfelt ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) here). the perl version works great for us (i
can send out another copy if you're having trouble getting it).
as for the ip binding, i'm not completely clear on the question. the
radius requests will (depending on the operating system and the number of
ip bindings) come from one of the ip addresses on the interface that
routes to the radius server. this is usually determinate (because it has
one interface). if it is not determinate, you can hack the perl to bind
to a specific address (rather than ANY) on that interface (this can happen
with many unices when you have multiple addresses on the same
interface--binding a socket will not always get you the primary one).
if you can write in with a bit more information, i'm sure that what you
are trying to do can be done.

What I was planning on doing for true virtualization of our whole operation
was to have Merit radius look at different users files depending on what IP
the request is comming from. For example a client checks their e-mail on
domain1.com radius would see that the request is from mail.domain1.com and
look in the domain1 users file. and the same for someone checking their mail
on domain2.com radius would need to see that the ckpasswd request is coming
from the ip that is for mail.domain2.com in order to look in the domain2
users file. That way someone with the same username on domain1 can coexist
with the other person with the same username on domain2.
I have the ckpw-radius from Monte, I am just not having any luck running the
perl. Maybe I'm missing something or another, but I installed IO 1.20 and
Digest-MD5-2.07 wich i got from CPAN. I can could get you the whole list of
compiliation errors If you would like.

Gary Stewart

well, it depends on the implementation of the radius client. certainly you
could tell it to bind to only one address, there's no unix reason you can't
do that.
however, what might be easier is to just modify your radius server config
to support clients from whatever IP address your client appears to be
coming from. i'm assuming you have permission to do this?

we use the perl version here and it works great. i don't think speed will
be a big consideration, especially when you consider all the code you'll
have to write to do it in C (our perl version is about 40 lines i think,
it's the one from qmail.org with a couple minor mods to support our
convoluted directory structure). also, consider that you still have to
access the network to talk to the radius server, that's going to be an
order or two of magnitude greater than any difference between C and perl.
what problems are you having with the perl version?

Hello again,
Once again, this is about the radius/chkpw project that I'm working on. As
you may have read in my earlier messages
I am trying to have qmail pop3 to authenticate via radius, and was running
into trouble with the Perl version of radius-ckpw from the webpage. Now my
issues are no longer in compiling the script, I resolved that by
reinstalling the IO module in perl. but the problem i'm running into now
(maybe this is a duh! thing) is when I telnet to the pop3 port, enter user
xxx pass xxx i get -ERR Authentication Failed. I then checked my radius
logfile and see this error:

Recheck the setup.
Can you run radtest and get a failure? That would give you an idea if it
was a radius or perl or network problem.

Paul,
Well the radius (Merit Radius) has been in production for quite some time
now for all of our dialup authentications, and watching the logfile
everything else comes through.. just the request from my test server gives
me that error when trying to authenticate pop3. Do you think it may have
something do do with the "type" parameter in the clients file maybe?

Is there a way to control how many messages are put into the
outbound queue for a mail site? For example, I have a client
with over 300 messages in the outbound queue, and I am not
sending to anyone else because they are monopolizing the out-
bound mail queue.

Make sure localhost is allowed to relay. Then send a HUP signal to

Now all emails for example.com will collect in ~alias/example/ and you can
use maildirsmtp to serially dispatch these emails to them.

Yes, what I mean by "makes sense" is that it isn't apparent
reading a DNS record the fundamental difference between the
behavior of a macro and a pointer. An MX record points somewhere
whereas a C record rewrites.
So if you mentally translate an MX record of
family.cybergood.net. IN MX mail.bannerclub.com.
as "mail sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
is handled by the computer that is represented
by mail.bannerclub.com"
makes sense (both family.cybergood.net
and bannerclub.com are A records)
If family.cybergood.net or mail.bannerclub.com were
a C records (not in itself unreasonable for web sites)
the read of the MX record would still "make sense"
but be wrong.

Hi,
(I'm running qmail 1.03, serialmail 0.75, ucspi-tcp 0.84, fetchmail 4.6.4-1.1
and Debian Linux 2.1. Outgoing mail is delivered to /var/qmail/alias/pppdir
and handled by serialmail if a ppp connection is up)
But there must be something wrong with my qmail/fetchmail configuration:
incoming mail (fetched from the pop3 server by fetchmail) ends up in
/var/qmail/alias/pppdir/ (!) but unfortunately not in /home/mark/Maildir/.
~/.fetchmailrc says:

Why does it try to deliver to alias-ppp-mark@localhost and not to
mark@localhost or [EMAIL PROTECTED] (pandora.plagegeister.de is my
hostname)?
I have /var/qmail/alias/.alias-ppp-mark@localhost
with "/home/mark/Maildir/", but it does not help.

What does your default deliver directions say? WHich .qmail file is
being used? /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-default?
/var/qmail/alias/.qmail-ppp-mark?
I'll bet you have the wrong delivery instructions.

umm, it is probably because you have the format for the file wrong. I believe
it is supposed to be .qmail-ppp-mark and in side the file you put a list of
addresses/directives.

Oh man, am I blind today... Sorry for the completely useless post, but
yes, removing the @localhost part of that filename will probably fix it.
Check the permissions as well. It should be owned by alias.

Is the delivery instruction "to local alias-ppp-mark@localhost" really
correct? Is this different from qmail 1.01?

I have changed this, it's .qmail-ppp-mark (with /home/mark/Maildir in
side).
But now: no mail in /var/qmail/alias/ppdir and no mail in
/home/mark/Maildir.
Must be still something wrong

Hi there.
I am using qmail-1.03 with the LDAP patches, I have it all up and runnig
nicely, load balanced on several machines and things are just zooming, I am
very happy with Qmail.
What I want to do is add a tag to all messages not destined for local users,
so I want to set up another instance on qmail in a different directory with
a seperate queue etc... (I have the 'taggin' program all ready, I just need
to know how to get the messages to it)
To do this with out the LDAP patches, it was a matter of setting up a
':remote' entry in my virtualdomains file and then setting up
.qmail-remote-default to execute the message parser and then inject the
message into the second queue...
Now with the LDAP patches I don't even have a 'virtualdomains' file, so how
would I go about setting this up?
Anyone done this?
should I just create a virtualdomains file and stick ':remote' in it and
anything not found in the LDAP directory will get sent to
~aliases/.qmail-remote-default ?
All help appreciated!
Wil.
Does any body here have problems with qmail?
My qmail crashes at least 6 times a day with "Lost spawn connection: dying
....."
Did anybody already have such a problem ?
How did you fix it ?
hardware problem isn't the answer once i already stressed my system
compiling my hole FreeBSD box ( compiling FreeBSD is a very heavy process,
if there were buggy hardware, i could not compile it).
What are the solutions ?

Dear gentleman,
Thank you for your support.
Here goes my configuration:
Qmail/Nofiles users login capabilities:
Resource limits for class default:
cputime infinity secs
filesize infinity kb
datasize infinity kb
stacksize infinity kb
coredumpsize infinity kb
memoryuse infinity kb
memorylocked infinity kb
maxprocesses infinity
openfiles infinity
Here goes my kernel parameters:
kern.maxproc: 820
kern.maxfilesperproc: 1640
kern.maxprocperuid: 819
vfs.aio.max_aio_per_proc: 32
vfs.aio.max_aio_queue_per_proc: 256
vfs.aio.max_aio_procs: 32
vfs.aio.num_aio_procs: 0
vfs.aio.target_aio_procs: 0
hw.model: AMD-K6(tm) 3D processor
So, here is how i am configured. Looking these tables, i cannot see any
limit to qmail (concerning proccess and files)
Does anybody here have any ideia ?
Thank you for your time and cooperation.
Best regards.

The new situation: no Mails in /var/qmail/alias/pppdir and no mails in
/home/mark/Maildir. Must be still something wrong

all my mail accounts except for root are working fine... but root:
I have a system, where all admins should get all mails sent to root. the
mail for root is as default stored in /root/Mailbox, but I have there a
.qmail, with the following information:
--- start ---
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
---end---
but this just causes the mail to disappear: it doesn't find it's way to
Mailbox but also not in the mailadresses specified in .qmail. I have not
used .qmail elsewhere, so I can't be sure that it would work there, at least
here it doesn't...

you mean, a .qmail-root file in the admins home directories? what should I
put in that?

INSTALL.alias from qmail distribution says:
==================
* root. Under qmail, root never receives mail. Your system may generate
mail messages to root every night; if you don't have an alias for root,
those messages will bounce. (They'll end up double-bouncing to the
postmaster.) Set up an alias for root in ~alias/.qmail-root. .qmail
files are similar to .forward files, but beware that they are strictly
line-oriented---see dot-qmail.0 for details.
==================
Note: you should have done this at install time.

Hi,
We run qmail 1.03.
I've been asked if we support "ERTN".
Reading around... it looks like I have to have serialmail installed to
support it. However, I don't know how to find out if i have serialmail
installed.
Someone tells me that the person here before me had setup.
Two quick questions:
1. How do I find out if I have serialmail installed?
2. If I do have serialmail installed, what is the difference between ERTN
and people just dialing in and collecting their mail normally?
Thanks for help in advance. :)

I installed web-based email system AtDot on qmail running linux box. The
main problem comes with sending
messages. AtDot has some features and variables to set. I want to run it
in ISP mode so in my case I put
$feature_forward=0, $dont_mess_with_sendmail=0,$feature_pop=1,
$singlepop=1.
Now the point. In the line defining smtpserver I had to put the slash
"/" or "\". In my case it looks like
$smtpserver = "localhost\". Only in this case AtDot says the message has
been sent and shows this message.
In fact nothing has been sent. I can properly read and delete messages.
Error file from Apache says -
use of uninitialized value at /usr/lib/perl5/..../5.00401/Socket.pm line
252.
As I drop the slash in the $smtpserver line then I get Internal server
error message from Apache.
If there is anybody using both qmail and AtDot willing to help I
appreciate your attention.

Hi
Our Qmail 1.03 box is having problems getting mail from one
particular site and I've been told to try and sort it out. When mail comes in
from this site, I can watch the connection using netstat. The connection from their MX goes from ESTABLISHED straight to CLOSE as
if the connection is getting broken. As qmail-smtpd doesn't provide log info I
had to get a copy of their NTMail log file. It shows the following for most
deliveries to our site.
waiting 10038 mailhost.oursite.com
(hmmmm.....10038. Winsock error?????)
eventually mail is sent back to the sender undelivered.
I'm 99% sure it's something at their end but in the interest of workplace
harmony it'd be nice to get to the bottom of it.
Any help appreciated
