I've had the same problem receiving mail from a Microsoft SMTP server. I think
it's down to the 'bare lf' problem although I may well be wrong. Sendmail and
other MTAs accept these but qmail bounces them.
Ask this remote site to check their SMTP log for clues.

But, If remember correctly, yahoo.com and netscape.net both using Qmail, both
site able to receive the mail send from this MS SMTP server.
If other MTAs allow 'bare lf' why did Qmail disallow it? Is there a patch where I
could just make Qmail behave as other MTAs?
Thanks,

I don't know if the sites you mentioned use qmail for incoming mail or not. Anyway,
qmail handles messages with bare lfs correctly. Besides, this may not be the problem.
Once again I'd suggest you ask the postmaster from this site to check their SMTP log
and see if that gives any indication.

Hello
Netscape.net doesn't use qmail for inbound just out bound. We use
our own homegrown MTA at both USA.Net and Netscape.net.
The saddest part of live is you have to work some ppl who are _not_ helpful in solving
problem.
I need to do some thing (project related to my work) with this site, things have not
been working well be me and other guy, and they keep blaming is my fault.
Anyway, thanks for the info, sorry to bother you about my problem. I think of something
else...

Are you running qmail-smtpd under tcpserver? If not, you should as this will allow you
to
get a more detailed log of smtp connections.
You could also try a tcpdump.

Use recordio to record the SMTP dialogue with the problem system. See
the FAQ for details.

Hi,
i', a newby in configuring qmail.
I have a private network (192.168.1.x),
qmail is running on a Linux-Machine , which has a
ppp-connection to the Internet (and my provider : gmx).
The clients use W9x and Netscape 4.xx as mailprogramms.
What i want is the following :
if a client writes a mail to a local address
([EMAIL PROTECTED] -> [EMAIL PROTECTED]) there shall not be any from-rewriting.
if a local client writes a mail to a remote address
([EMAIL PROTECTED] -> [EMAIL PROTECTED])
the from-addres should be changed.
I have installed ofmipd so that it can do this by
using the cdb-programms.
But ofmipd does too much , it rewrites messages
that should be delivered locally too.
The reason is,that it just looks to the cdb-database if
there`s a hit and beginns to rewrite.
But in this case (local->local) it should look f the receiver
is a local one and then ofmipd should decide not to rewrite.
I tried to patch ofmipd , but i failed cause i`m not a professional
programmer.
I tried to do the following :
if the receiver is not in the cdb-database a n d
if the address is in the "from-address" then
the from-addres shall be rewritten.
Has anybody any suggestions ?
Thanks Harry :-)
PS.: Please apologize for my broken english.
Hello,
How do I put Qmail sending Email to an Outgoing Relay server ?
In sendmail that option is called Smart Relay Host in sendmail.cf .
Thanks in advance,

Yes. XOOM.com uses qmail, as does Matchlogic. The Internic uses
qmail. A number of large (>20K) universities use qmail.

Why not make an up to date list of all those companies? I've seen already
numerous mails abut this topic. It would be easy if there was a link on the
qmail webpage to such a list.

I believe Hotmail is still using qmail. So is egroups.com. Critical Path
uses a customized version of qmail.

In mail script to start qmail (qmail-pop3d.init which came in
the memphis rpm) $HOST was defined as : $(dnsfq $(hostname)).
dnsfq and hostname come with qmail, and the memphis rpm installs them.
`dnsfq $(hostname)' finds your FQDN---if it exists. If your host is
not in DNS, you cannot use this def for HOST. Just put your hostname
in HOST, and all should be well.
In your case, there is a serious problem with your domain name:
nslookup siliconsys.com
Server: dns1.memphis.edu
Address: 141.225.253.21
Name: siliconsys.com
Address: 216.30.60.89
nslookup 216.30.60.89
Server: dns1.memphis.edu
Address: 141.225.253.21
*** dns1.memphis.edu can't find 216.30.60.89: Non-existent host/domain
I think you forgot to make a ptr record for siliconsys.com:
nslookup -query=ptr 216.30.60.89
Server: dns1.memphis.edu
Address: 141.225.253.21
*** dns1.memphis.edu can't find 89.60.30.216.in-addr.arpa.: Non-existent host/domain
It seems neither of the default servers for your domain are
reachable. Indeed
nslookup siliconsys.com DNS6.REGISTER.COM
[...]
*** Can't find server name for address 209.67.50.252: No information
*** Default servers are not available

Before changing your mail server setup, you need to sort out DNS.
The metric for your mail server is 0 in a lookup. Odd. May work, but every
system I've set up actually uses a real number e.g. 5, 10
Secondly, the nameserver entry uses a CNAME to point to your mail server.
Change this. It should be an A record. A good rule of thumb is to never use
CNAMEs in conjunction with mail. Takes no more effort to create an A record.
Then try it.

I am still looking into it, but apparently it is free for 50 seats or less,
and you get the functionality of the contacts list and calendar and those
goodies.
My partner and I are going to test it out and see how it goes. We still
want to use qmail for smtp, but use OpenMail for most everything else.

Hello!
I have vchkpw and qmail running on my mailserver. Now the problem:
I want to have 2 domains and only 1 set of users. So I must have an
expression like
|forward $[EMAIL PROTECTED]
in the .qmail-default file of xy.de . Is there a possibility to have the
user from the incoming mail in an environment variable ?
Thanks,
Holger

Not necessarily. Easiest would be to put both domains in locals.
>Is there a possibility to have the

If you put both domains in locals, you get the normal
environment variable supplied by qmail-local, one of which is
$HOST, the domain part of the recipient address.
Maybe you have a reason not to do it that way, but that's the
way I do it.

There is a new program in vchkpw (vpopmail) that allows you
to alias one virtual domain to another virtual domain.
So two virtual domains have the same set of users.

I run it as an ordinary pop server with free dial-in
and not as a web-mail server.
Your help is much appriciated.

Okay.. here is how you want to do this. First, compile qmail like regular and
install it. Then apply the appended patch to qmail-smtpd.c so that it will add
the footer you want. Compile qmail again and install the new qmail-smtpd to
something like /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd-footer. Then set things up so that
when your customers send e-mail they connect to an ipaddress which is served by
qmail-smtpd-footer program, so that this mail will get branded. But make sure
that your MX records point to an ipaddress so which is running the standard
qmail-smtpd, so that your incoming mail will not get branded.
I don't see it mentioned in the tcpserver from ucspi-tcp-0.84 man page how to
make it bind to a specific ipaddress. You might need to hack tcpserver, but
first take a look at the latest version and see if it supports this. Or you
could always just use two boxes for incoming and outgoing e-mail.
The patch to qmail-smtpd.c to make it add footers is appended.
Hope this helps.

Oh.. Two new ideas in regards to running two different qmail-smtpd programs in
different ipaddrs where one inserts the footer and the other does not.
You could do this with just one qmail-smtpd program that is just a tad smarter
than what I tossed together...
(1) Modify my code to only insert the footer if a certain environment variable
is set, which you set with another program in the chain.
(2) Modify my code to insert the footer if TCPLOCALIP (read from the env) is a
certain ipaddr.
(3) Modify my code to read the footer from an environment variable, which you
set with another program in the chain.
You should be able to run from here if you have some basic c knowledge.

Hi Gang,
Perhaps this has been covered in the past, perhaps even recently,
but does there exist a checkpassword which can authenticate against a
SQL database?
Last i heard Ken from inter7 was working on integrating this functionality
into vchkpw.
Thanks,
Jonathan W. Herbert
Yes, I have seen it either at the qmail home page, or at the MySQL home

We use a own modified checkpassword to authenticate the users against Radiator
(Radius) that again SQL query against Informix SQL server. Mostly this is a custom
built solution, but I don't think it should be to hard to implement this on other
sites. I'm kind of strict regarding not to alter to much of home made code, for later
upgrading purposes. This is why Qmail is so perfect with it's module support.

Hello All,
I'm running qmail v1.03 on a system which has tcpserver/tcprules
installed on it, now I am preparing to install qmail on my backup linux
box (P133 vs P100, OpenLinux 2.2)...now until this is done, I would like
users to be able to relay from an address of 192.168.3.x (current users
are on 192.168.2.x) via ipchains/ipmasq...now if I make my tcp.smtp
look like this:
192.168.2.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
192.168.3.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
127.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
205.xxx.xxx.3:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
205.xxx.xxx.5:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
205.xxx.xxx.9:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
205.xxx.xxx.35:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
205.xxx.xxx.80:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
205.xxx.xxx.219:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
and do the same for pop3d, will this achieve what I want to do?
Also, if I want to run tcprules against this file, the following
should do the trick, if I understand the docs:
tcprules tcp.smtp.cdb rules.tmp < tcp.smtp
Will this do what I want it to?
-Bill
What is the general course of events when qmail-smtpd reaches the limit
imposed on it by tcpserver? Does tcpserver hold the incoming connections in
a TIME_WAIT state, deny the connection, respond with a try again later, or
what?
Thanks

I've installed qmail on 2 other boxes serveral months ago, no problem. This weekend,
I installed qmail 1.03 on my home box, which I just updated to Caldera 2.3.
When I put /var/qmail/rc & in my /etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail startup script, qmail starts
on boot, but immediately shuts down. If I run /var/qmail/rc from a cmd line after
logging in as root, it stays running.
I tried lots of items, and it came down to running strace on the qmail startup in the
boot script and looking at the log. It turned out that qmail was getting a SIGHUP
right after it finished loading.
I put a nohup in front of my call to /var/qmail/rc and all is good now, but I'm a
little baffled. I didn't have to do anything like this on my previous installs, but
then again, that was a different Linux version.
Also, I'm not calling /var/qmail/rc via csh, as in the example, as I don't have cshell
installed. I'm just using bash. Does csh suppress sighups or something? I'm not
using csh on my other two qmail installs either.

Hi All,
This is my first time posting to this listserv so please bear with any
etiquette faux-pas I might commit. I have been running qmail 1.03 on RedHat 5.2

indicates approx. 2000 messages per day so it is not excactly a taxed system.
Anyway, to get to the point, I have been getting some reports that some messages
(most without attatchments) are getting corruption in the body. For example...
"Dear all

So far this has apparently occurred when arriving from one particular
domain (yes I am working on getting the mail system information for
incompatibility checking but that will take a little while longer). Has anyone
seen anything like this before? At first I thought it might be some MIME issues
but since it is actually the message body which is getting affected I am not
sure if it is such a problem. Could it be some kind of 7-bit / 8-bit issue?
-Justin Pelling
+ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

All qmail ever does with the body of the message is to copy it
verbatim. Thus, I think I can guarantee you that the corruption you
are seeing happens elsewhere.
| So far this has apparently occurred when arriving from one
| particular domain
So it's most natural to suspect the MTA at that domain, or perhaps
more likely a MUA in popular use there.
| Could it be some kind of 7-bit / 8-bit issue?
Well, qmail accepts 8-bit in and passes it on unchanged. Again, you
will have to look elsewhere, though I have never heard of 7-bit
madness replacing whole chunks of text by X's, like you're seeing.

Have you actually counted the number of X's??? If it's 256, 512, or 1024
characters, this _could_ be indicitive of a bad sector on the other
domain's hard drive...
As always, YMMV -- but this certainly doesn't sound like a software
problem, let along a qmail problem.

Hi,
It seems as a newbie question but I couldn't find the answer
anywhere.
First of all, here is the setup I have:
All e-mail for my domain AAA.COM goes to ISP1.COM.
ISP1.COM forwards it to ISP2.COM. I get my e-mail from
ISP2.COM and want to distribut it all to the correct recipients.
ISP1.COM and ISP2.COM use recent versions of sendmail:
8.8... or better.
Presently I have this setup depending on a Win98 machine that
does all the e-mail distributing. It relies on the To: header to
distribute the e-mail. I am preparing to move to a Linux machine
with qmail. After reading everything I could find on the subject, I
believe I need ISP1.COM to write a X-Envelope-To: header on my e-
mail before forwarding it to ISP2.COM. This way qmail would have
the real information on who should get the e-mail.
Assuming I am right up to here, there it comes my question:
Does anybody knows how to setup a sendmail server to
include the X-Envelope-To: header on my e-mail? ISP1.COM's
hostmaster doesn't and I couldn't find info on that anywhere.
As I undestand, using the X-Envelope-To: header will provide
much better e-mail forwarding capabilities (ex.: mailing list
messages getting to the right recipient). If there is a better way,
please tell me.

I'm unclear as to where I am going wrong with setting up my virtual
domain email for each virtual domain. I am using qmail 1.03 on Red
Hat Mandrake 6.0.
My qmail setup seems to be working fine, as I can send and receive email
from anywhere, but I am not so sure I have set up the virtual domain part
correctly. Let's say I have a virtual domain called nature.com on my
server which is named god.com. There is a user named bird who actually
owns the nature.com domain. Bird wants to have his email address on his
web page say "[EMAIL PROTECTED]".. and have that email delivered to him at
his account on "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" I have created a bird account on god.com.
Also, nature.com is functioning fine.
In the virtualdomains file I have added this line:
nature.com:bird
Is this correct? I've noticed that qmail has (during the installation)
created a line in virtualdomains that looks like this:
god.com:god.com
So, I'm wondering if I should put nature.com:nature.com instead? Anyway,
as it is set up now, if someone sends mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], where is it
going? Is it going to the bird account at god.com? I've sent a test
mail, but it didn't arrive at bird's email on god.com. The other strange
thing is, I never received an error message saying the mail didn't reach
bird. I've tried a test by sending mail directly to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and he
did get THAT direct mail, he's just not getting the virtual mail.
What step might I be missing?
Thanks for any help.

This topic seems to confuse people over and over, so dont be ashamed. I
really am feeling bad about not finalizing a proised documentation about
"all about aliases and virtua domains."
But here is a short story:
Rule 1: Always put a domain that you handle domain for in rcpthosts
Rule 2: Then put the domain in locals OR in virtualdomains
NEVER IN BOTH. If you do, the entry in virtualdomains will be
silently ignored.
Rule 3: When choosing from using "virtual" or "local" domain, ask yourself
the question: Do I want to have it that EVERY USER ON THE SYSTEM
shall receive mail on the form username@domain?
If the answer is yes -> put the domain in locals, and fix the
aliases either with .qmail-files in ~alias or with the fastforward
package (see http://www.qmail.org/).
If the answer is no -> put the domain in virtualdomains and point
the mail to be handled by either:
a, .qmail-files in ~alias. (For root-managed, small maildomains.)
b, .qmail-files in a special "maildomain" account. (For root
or maildomainmanager managed, bigger domains e.g. including
mailinglists. Typical if you want to store the maildomain
account elsewhere than on the /var*-partition.)
c, .qmail-files in some users directory. (Typically in an ISP- or
user managed environment.)
So. Choose local or virtual. And when you've done that and not forgotten
about Rule 2, you are either finished or has to choose form the three
virtual approaches.
I often refer back to the joe & joe-example, and even if it really doesn't
answer your question here (That's why I had to do it above), it can be
worthwhile to browse through. http://x42.com/doc/qmail/vdomains1.txt

http://x42.com/ - usefulness and uselessness stirred in a bucket with broccoli.
Thank you for that help.. I've decided to change the setup to
virtualdomain to local user.
I've done so, and I sent a test mail from the same server the user is on,
and he got mail at the virtual domain name. But, if I try to send mail
from a different server, I get this message:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi. This is the qmail-send program at god.com.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following
addresses. This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work
out.
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.1.1)

The strange thing is, when I send an email from god.com to
[EMAIL PROTECTED], it works just fine, he gets his email. But if I send an
email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] from someotherserver.com, it doesn't reach.
Sorry about this, but I think I am only one or two steps away from
gettting it to work.

If you use qmail, there is no senmail-process, so ... you might want to give
the qmail-send the HUP maybe.

I'm seeing a very odd error (or maybe it isn't and I'm just clueless)
when working with virtual domains. Here is my setup on machine xyz.com:
DNS:
xyz.com. IN A 1.2.3.4
staff.xyz.com. IN A 1.2.3.4
xyz.com. IN MX 10 xyz.com.
staff.xyz.com. IN MX 10 xyz.com.

locals:
localhost
staff.xyz.com
me:
staff.xyz.com
rcpthosts:
localhost
staff.xyz.com
xyz.com
virtualdomains:
xyz.com:xyz-com
Now, if I connect to xyz.com on port 25 and issue:
HELO my.net
MAIL FROM:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
RCPT TO:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
DATA
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: Test to @staff
123 test
.
The mail gets delivered just right, and I see this in the logs:
starting delivery 75: msg 65546 to local [EMAIL PROTECTED]
But if I use a MUA, like Netscape, to send the message to
[EMAIL PROTECTED], it's getting sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED],
and I see this in the logs:
starting delivery 76: msg 65546 to local [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Any idea what's going on?
Thank you.

Hi there,
the name of my localhost is mohawk.n-online.net
I just tried to send mail to a nonexisting user
[EMAIL PROTECTED],
my qmail now reports :
starting delivery 655 : msg 235522 to local [EMAIL PROTECTED]
delivery 655 : deferral : Sorry,_message_has_wrong_owner._(#4.3.5)/
What does this mean?
Everything else works correctly (vusers / vdomains etc.)

* qmail is not painful to configure and maintain.

DJB:s main point is that you can't distribute binary qmail distributions
or modified source distributions and still claim that it's qmail.
It's a matter of taste. Nothing else.
The most important statement to all administrators and OS distributors out
there is to finally DUMP sendmail.

Depends. I have had no problems (my first qmail installation was
up and running in 10 minutes), but the amount of questions in this
conference (and replies "Go read Life with qmail") suggests
otherwise.

But some important parts are really missing. What's the licence for
daemontools? For rblsmtpd? For qmail-analog? Am I allowed to
start my syslogd or rc5des client under supervise if I haven't
installed qmail?
BTW, how's that really with the licence to Postfix? Are you allowed
to distribute your patches? Patched postfix? In binary form?

... for something better. BTW, if you couldn't configure sendmail
properly, odds are that you will have problems with
qmail/postfix/whatever too.

Can anyone tell me why the following bounce occurred. My control/locals
file DOES contain the domain fashionjunction.com, in fact here is my
entire control/locals file:
localhost
www.fashionjunction.com
fashionjunction.com
One thing worth mentioning is that the user [EMAIL PROTECTED] is
an alias for [EMAIL PROTECTED] However, qmail seems to be
complaining about fashionjunction.com ?
Thanks in advance for any help,
..Chris.

Have you sent qmail-send a HUP since you changed locals ?

Well, this is 3.2-Stable fresh from Aug 25, thought I've made a RELEASE of
it just to have the fresh installation dist.
Since that time I've made few CVSups but have not seen big changes
to /usr/src/sys and vital binaries...
As I said in my first post (don't know whether you've seen it) I have two
more 3.2-S machines where Qmail works very well.
I believe it won't solve the problem even if I reinstall 3.2-S from my
3.2-R dist, cos I've done this over the existing system before, after
an few times of "make worldinstalls".
I think this should be of interest to FreeBSD community cos this time
only I have noticed the problem next time who knows when this will be
discovered, and maybe it will be next buffer overflow crack.
When I debugged Qmail, I have noticed that after some function sets
the envelope sender in a memory buffer then another doing something
other destroyes this envelope sender to some "????????????viv.ua",
"?????????lo0???" and "???????????ppp0??" or something like this.
If I use 3.1-Stable kernel Qmail work well, when I alter 3.2-Stable
kernel Qmail works soso, the best it can: sets good envelope sender,
delivers and receives mail but fails to bounce correctly, saying
that it can not deliver bounce to "??????acme.com" sender.
I assume there is probably something wrong with FreeBSD, but who knows,
may be this shows some weak side of Qmail.
Best regards,
Yaroslav.
I am using the fastforward package. I've set up quite a few entries but
somehow seem to have wiped out my original '/etc/aliases' file. I assume
that if I just add new entries to a blank '/etc/aliases' file, it will wipe
out my existing entries. So... Is there a way for me to un-cdb the
aliases.cdb file? I would be a lot more comfortable with a plain-text
version around somewhere...
Gracias,
Ben

Hello Ben,
either use printforward or better get the cdb-package from djb's Page:
http://pobox.com/~djb/cdb.html
which will include a utility called cdbdump.
You will have to parse the output from this with awk or sth. like that
though...
Regards
Mirko
