There is a problem with doing it:
RFC 821, section 3.6:
This notification message must be from the server-SMTP at this
host. Of course, server-SMTPs should not send notification
messages about problems with notification messages. One way to
prevent loops in error reporting is to specify a null reverse-path
in the MAIL command of a notification message. When such a
message is relayed it is permissible to leave the reverse-path
null. A MAIL command with a null reverse-path appears as follows:
MAIL FROM:<>
In other words, that's the "sender" for most bounces, so if you drop
mail from <> you'll be shutting out bounce messages.

Delivery failure reports are required by messaging standards to come

I believe I've found the info required to fix the problem at my
firewall. http://www.raptor.com/cs/FAQ/entv5basictrafficmethods.html is a
description of the different ways that Raptor can pass traffic. The summary
of the fix is Raptor "local tunnels" which are packet filtering. It'll have
to wait until I get back from vacation, but once that's in place things
should be back to normal.
But before I go, in response to Racer X:
>> the more i think about this, the more i think that
>> fallback MX records aren't really necessary anymore.
There are several reasons I think they are still useful:
1) Redundancy. All machines die at some time or other. I'd rather
not have the added pressure of knowing that mail will start bouncing if it
isn't fixed in X amount of time while I'm trying to fix it.
2) Maintenance. You can take your mail server down for maintenance
and not worry about where the mail sits in the meantime - I'd rather it sit
and wait on my server than on someone elses!
3) Upgrades. You can test upgrades on a fallback MX before moving
them on up.
On that note, I'm leaving for the caribbean. Have a good week, all!

1. The host is dead => it does not send any datagrams =>
it does not speak SMTP.
2. The host is alive but no process listens on SMTP port => it refuses
TCP connections => it does not speak SMTP.
3. The host is alive, some process listens on SMTP port but something
gets screwed up when a connection is open, and the connection is closed
immediately (e.g. qmail-smtpd binary is corrupted and dies immediately)
=> it does not say SMTP hello => it does not speak SMTP.
Summary: the server fails to speak SMTP in all cases.
Ergo, if the server is listed as an MX record for some domain name, "I
claimed it was speaking SMTP but upon examination, it isn't, therefore MX
records are false." In ALL cases 1, 2, and 3. Why does qmail fall back to
other MXes in cases 1 and 2 but not in case 3? Why does it fall back at
all? It should always ignore the other MXes because the records are
always incorrect according to your reasoning!?
Let's have a private network having two gateways: a primary one and a
backup one. The gateways accept e-mail traffic from the Internet and
forward messages to some system running on the private network (that is
not visible to the outer world). Any gateway is able to do this but the
primary one is listed as the first MX because its performance is better.
If the primary gateway breaks, the messages from qmail will be delivered
through the backup one in failure cases 1 and 2 but not in case 3. This is
strange, isn't it? Why is case 3 special? Is there anything wrong with
this setup? If yes, enlighten me, please. :)
BTW: I have omitted a case when the server accepts connections, starts
SMTP conversations but it always (as far as the client knows) dies in
the middle of the conversation. It depends on Russell's definition of
"speaking SMTP" whether such a host speaks SMTP or not.

Described another way, there are many failure scenarios where the actual
cause is not a misconfiguration of the mail:
1. The server is out of memory and is unable to copy a datagram containing
a SYN packet from the device interface layer to the IP network layer.
The packet is discarded and no ACK or RST is ever sent.
2. The server is out of memory and is unable to allocate structures for
completing a connection. A RST might be sent back to the source.
3. The server is out of memory and is unable to sbrk() more memory for the
process that accepted the incoming connection. The process faults
before conducting protocol, and a RST is sent to close the connection.
We may well fault the server for not having enough RAM, or enough swap space,
or having hosted an IRC bot and invited DoS attacks, or whatever. But
the mail implementation (it could be qmail) and configuration may well be
entirely correct.
In any such failure scenario, there may be reasons for a mail server to
chose some action, such as:
1. Immediately try the same server again.
2. Immediately try the next higher MX server. If all MX servers fail,
choose an action from 3 or 4.
3. Requeue the message to be tried again later. If a certain time
period has expired, return the message to the sender.
4. Return the message to the sender immediately even though the time
period for expiration has not lapsed.
Whatever the choice of action, why would that choice not be consistent
across the 3 failure modes? All 3 failure modes represent a situation
which may be corrected any time between the next delivery attempt, and
the final delivery attempt (hence making action #4 a bad choice, IMHO).
I can understand (but not entirely agree with) arguments against going to
the next higher MX. What I cannot understand is why some of the failure
scenarios would justify that choice while others would not.

The server may well be configured to speak SMTP in all 3 cases were it
not muffled by a transient error condition that could be corrected by
things between a sysadmin cleaning up runaway processes, or a netadmin
blocking a DoS attack at the router, or a nervous operator pushing the
reset button.

DJB uses anonftpd which uses a more general/better ls format, but also one
that isn't universally supported. ~djb maps there. Squid supports it, lynx
2.8 supports it (i believe >=2.6). I think latest IE/NScape do as well, but
I do most things via SQUID, so I'm not sure.

Lynx fails for me, too (version 2.8rel.2)... in my case it's because my
router blocks the returning data connection from the FTP server.
Apparently lynx doesn't know how to do passive FTP. Perhaps your problem
is similar?

Chris,
I _constantly_ got "Network error: connection reset by peer" when I trying
to get
anything below http://pobox.com/~djb I guess it's a problem of DJB's site,
since http://pobox.com works fine.
Maybe it's because I use proxy to access Inet from my LAN.

It looks like everything works fine. Do you have a ftp-client handy? Try
that. If that still gives problems, try passive mode ftp. See the manual
from your ftp-client for instructions.
Note that MICROS~1's ftp.exe is braindead for not being able to do passive mode.

One of my planned hacks is to modify the logging code so that it obtains
the time stamp (I guess it probably already does, anyway) and derives the
log file name from that according to a configureable pattern. Then if the
name does not match the name currently open for, the new name is opened
and the old name is closed, and the current log message is recorded to the
new log file.
I will also have it track log file size and if certain size thresholds
are reached, the pattern used to generate log file names will change,
such as switching from daily log file name formats to hourly.
I will also have a means to configure a program/script to be launched when
a log file is closed, passing the name of the closed file. Such a script
could then do things like compress and archive that log file.

Neither cyclog nor multilog provide for time-based rotation. They only
rotate based on size. However, Bruce Guenter wrote a small program
called qfilelog, which simply closes and re-opens its log file. It can
be used to do qmail logging, and you can arrange for a cron job to send
it a HUP signal every night to rotate your log.
http://em.ca/~bruceg/qlogtools/
Request to DJB: time-based logging in multilog would be very useful to
many people. Please consider it as an option besides size-based
rotation, somewhat like FreeBSD's newsyslog. I do understand that
time-based logging could fill up a disk, but that's a risk an end-user
can take themselves.

Both features could be combined to get the best of both.

You run the script as root, but setuidgid makes multilog run as qmaill.
Do a
chown qmaill:qmail /var/log/qmail/qmail-smtpd
and multilog will be able to change dir.

Hello,
I had some time before the same problem as Suba Rao and tried a solution
similar to the one proposed now by Magnus Bodin but didn't work for me.
I don't no why! I have to run multilog as root to be able to log messages
from qmail.

Yes, that is possible, but then I have to setup a user piffle, and his
.qmail file has to filter the mailadresses and deliver the mail to the
correct local user. I think this is too much work and a kind of
inconsistency.
If aI have only [EMAIL PROTECTED], then I would do it this way
with an entry in virtualdomains like his.virtual.domin:someuser or alike.
But I have (virtually ;-) a big network of hosts, and everyone has the
same users (over NIS). I think it is more easier with one line in locals
like ^(.*\.){0,1}mydomain.net$ than the construct mentioned above.

Much of work?
All you have to do is (untested):
controls/virtualdomains:
.example.com:alias-piffle
alias/.qmail-default:
|forward "$DEFAULT"
(Yes, that's less work than applying a patch!)
Inconsistent?
Maybe.

Easy. Put your domain in control/rcpthosts and in control/smtproutes, put:
domain.com:innerhostname
If you want to be able to relay outgoing mail through your qmail server,
you'll have to setup some selective relaying check like tcpserver. Look in
LWQ or on www.qmail.org for ucspi-tcp. http://pobox.com/~djb/ucspi-tcp.html

Now, _I_ have (probably with your help :) to find a solution to
the mail transfers for his domain.
The MX record is pointing to my qmail server which is always online.
The mails which are comming are saved in the Maildir of a user
(using .qmail-default = ./Maildir/).
The NT box goes online once an hour, want to send it's mail to
the outside world, and also want to get its mails.
Sending the mail outside isn't a problem (relaying for an IP class).
But how can I tell the qmail server that the NT box is currently
online and waiting for an smtp feed ? I guess I need a kind of trigger
that will start a maildirsmtp command. Is it the right way ?
It's probably a common situation : if you have some hints and
scripts which could help, I would be happy to be informed :)
Thanks in advance,
Olivier

You have a choice of two mechanisms. The first is the ETRN-command. This is
only supported on Exchange 5.5 SP1 and later. For older servers you can use
a custom trigger, but I'm uncertain about how and what.
Start with searching support.microsoft.com for 'Exchange ETRN'. This will
point you to the right documents for the Exchange-side of the story..

I was earlier looking for a ETRN solution with qmail, so I could queue mail for dialup
customers. I came up short. Since that I've seen a few ETRN patches for qmail, but
I've not tried them out. I ended up with a solution where a pop-client connected to a
pop3 dummy account (always empty), and with the correct username and password
triggered a smtp-feed from our mailserver.
You can use a standard POP-client, or write a telnet script that is triggered from
Exchange.
If the customers network is behind a router that is using NAT and private network
addresses, the router has to forward all incoming traffic on port 25 to the internal
mailserver. Not all routers is supporting this function, that is called PAT on Cisco
7xx routers.
Most of our customers is using this solution, and only a few where the mailserver have
it's own isdn card/connection.
Highly recommended solution...... http://www.qmail.org/turnmail

All,
OK, after following the LWQ installation guide, it seems like some of the
things that should be executable, aren't. So I'm thinking of either
following the INSTALL document instead, or maybe even using one of the RPMs
out there (I'm using RedHat 6.0.). However, I assume I should get rid of all
the stuff that the first install put around.
Any gotcha's I should be looking for?
THanks in advance,
Warr

Use the following command:
man maildir
and read the maildir manpage.
If 'man maildir' doesn't work, add /var/qmail/man to your MANPATH in
/etc/profile:
export MANPATH="/usr/man:/usr/X11R6/man:/usr/local/man:/opt/man:/var/qmail/man"

I'm not getting any information about qmail from syslog (/var/log/messages).
It would be nice to see the errors from qmail.

funny thing about all of this is, it appears to be working, but only for
mail to and from users on this box. Although it does send outbound mail
correctly. It does not receive inbound mail.
Any Ideas would be appreciated.

This seems to be your problem. "ps" on its own will not show you all
processes. You have to run "ps -ef" to see the qmail daemons running. In
fact, your qmail startup seems to be fine. No need to change anything.

Does anyone have any suggestions on an install document for users with
minimal Linux experience. I have tried the LWQ and I can send mail, and
receive mail locally, and send mail out to any host on the internet, but I
can't receive any. I have worked strictly off of this document up to now,
and doing a little extra digging around, I found this. It looks like my
server1 sending mail to my linux server, and dropping connection sounds like
what may be happening. I do not get errors back on the sending side. Maybe
the next few hours, I'll get a retry notification back. DNS records are
correct and my MX records point to my servername.
Anyone have any ideas on what might be the problem here.
And if you don't have any suggestions about this, how about an install doc
that you've heard some successfull newbies working with. Or a way to
Uninstall the whole thing.

Hello,
Is it possible to redirect all incoming email automatically from a specific
email account on qmail server to another email account of different domain?
Any additional modules required? Is it the same as the .forward of
sendmail?
I would like to build a hierarchical email account naming scheme, e.g.
[EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], etc .... Is
it possible to do that on qmail? How it works? Since I use POP3 client to
retrieve mail, any conflict with this naming scheme?
Thanks.

Hello:
Anyone can site examples of the user/cdb capacity and size etc.
I am at 200,000 users and want to know if I should be worried.
Anyone working or is it even feasible to talk about an actual database
like msql or mysql to store these users?? At what point will the cdb file
be too large??
Right now the file's physical size is 20M.
Thanks

Anyone have experience with this?
I've set it up, and the LDAP service is definitely working... when I use
checkpassword on the server, with the command
qmail-popup localhost /qmail-1.03/checkpassword pwd
it authenticates me fine. But when I move the checkpassword into the /bin
directory and try to connect from another machine, it rejects me. In this
case, I'm using Outlook 2000, so all I get is a password box back in my face
(ie: no helpful output) but I suspect that there wouldn't be much
information returned anyway.
A small sample from the ldif file before I ldbm it:
dn: cn=John Smith
cn: John Smith
sn: Smith
objectClass: qmailUser
objectClass: person
mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
mailHost: mail.budget.co.nz
mailMessageStore: /home/jsmith/Mailbox/
qmailUser: jsmith
qmailUID: 666
qmailGID: 666
uid: jsmith
userPassword: xxxxxxxxxxx
the user password is using the same encryption scheme as the passwd file
(DES?) and before you ask, yes, I do use maildirs called Mailbox... it's
from when I first setup qmail and was a bit confused when I copied and
pasted some example lines into my startup files... suffice to say it's
easier to leave it like that for now.
Anyway, I know the LDAP service works properly, and as I say, the manual
checkpassword test works fine on the console, just apparently not from a
client. Any ideas anyone?

That's a timestamp inserted by splogger, and is more accurate than the
one inserted by syslog. Nothing to be overly concerned about. Where is
it used? Well, qmailanalog, the qmail log analyser, needs those
timestamps for accurate analysis of qmail-send's activity.

Hi,
I've got the problem too, the script seems fine but does not run...
Try using a tool like "fromdos" with your qmail file, and it should work with
you as it worked with me.

Hi all, I'm lost. I've read manuals,
how-to's, etc. etc. I cannot seem to log users into pop
accounts. I setup Qmail on linux-mandrake (rh6 clone) and I can send out
to world from the linux box. I have tested all the qmail modules as per
the INSTALL.iforgetnow file and it passed. I am using checkpassword and it
passed the tests laid out in it's install file. I have sent mail to users
on this machine via another mail server and the message did make it to the
mailbox (Maildir). Yet when I try to connect to the mail server directly I
keep getting asked the password. I'm not sure if it's a valid error
message for sure but when I click cancel on the password dialog outlook gives
the following message:
There was a problem logging onto your mail server.
Your Password was rejected. Account: 'grow.sd27.bc.ca', Server:
'grow.sd27.bc.ca', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR this user has no
$HOME/Maildir', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error
Number: 0x800CCC92
Or is that just because I clicked
cancel?
I made the mail users members of group
popusers. Is that correct?
I'm just not sure what I missed, is it something to
do with PAM? (if so, why does the test for checkpassword work?)
A large part of my setup was done for me by an
RPM setup for qmail, just so you know. (I think I've since looked at most
everything it did for me...)
I just don't know what to look for
anymore.
Last, (since I'm asking, and who knows maybe it's
related) I was getting a message 'hard error' when starting qmail or running any
of the utils (i.e. qmail-showct etc.). I played with something(It's late I
can't recall) and it seemed to go away. Does anyone know the what the
message means?

I traced this problem to dynip.com setting the IP address of
fashion.dynip.com to 127.0.0.1 when our dialup server goes offline. I changed
it to set it to an offline address and the mail now gets queued correctly.

Hi all,
I want to set up a qmail relay server that can rewrite the recipient
address before relaying the mails to another mail server. For instance,
when a machine from Internet send mail to the qmail relay server with
recipient address [EMAIL PROTECTED], it will rewrite the recipient
address to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and relay the mail to another mail server. Is
there any simple and elegant way to achieve this?
I have read the FAQ and other material on web but still can't find the
solutions. May be I have overlooked some points. Thank you for any
advice.
Regards,
Neil
