Yes, I know it, but could you tell how I can do it. What I have to put in
the tcp.smtp file??
I put:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:allow
:deny
but I can not send messages through the smtp server. The mail program says:
The mail has not be sent.
There is no mail transport agent for this address.
thanks

I was wrong, tcpserver uses TCPREMOTEINFO, not the emailaddress (see the
manpages for tcpserver).
But there is a patch on the qmail home page that may do what you want, look
for "control relaying based on envelope sender address"

This is wrong. tcpserver does _not_ control relaying by domain name. It
only allows IP-based control. The standard qmail does not support
relaying by domain either. But someone had written a patch to do this,
and it was posted on the list recently. Search the archives for it.

:allow,RELAYCLIENT="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Of course, now ANYONE who puts that email address in their FROM (or is it
envelope-sender?) field can relay through you.

As others have pointed out, it's a bad idea to allow relaying based on sender
address. But if you really want to do it, try this patch:

Hi,
>I'm attempting to use the Maildir mailbox.
>
>I have user/Maildir (permissions 775) and user/.qmail (permissions 664).
What directories do you have exactly?
~mls/Maildir or user/Maildir ?
Did you create the Maildir with qmail/bin/maildirmake ?
And as far as i know your permissions must be 700 for your Maildir and
should be 644 for .qmail.
And the Maildir must be located in the homedir of the Mailrecipient And he
must be the owner of the Maildir. Besides that: root can never recieve mail.
But that's all RTFM but in my opinion not very clear in the manuals.

Good luck,
Cyril Bitterich
Thanks to everyone for their help!
I did have the correct entry in .qmail (./Maildir/).
My problem turned out to be that while I had manually created Maildir, I had
not created the subdirectories.
Using makemaildir to create the Maildir directory tree worked fine.
thanks again

Hello,
I'm running qmail 1.03 on a linux machine (Debian 2.1 w/ kernel 2.2.12).
I came in this morning and was getting the following error in syslog
for every local delivery attempt: Sep 22 07:05:19 thom qmail:
938001919.847530 delivery 8708: deferral: Aack,_child_crashed._(#4.3.0)/
Unfortunately, I can't seem to reproduce the error. Also, the search
engine for this mailing list seems to be down, else I wouldn't bother
sending this to the list until after checking that. What I'm wondering
is, is there something specific to look for should this happen again?
Should I run an strace on qmail-lspawn, since it only happened for local
deliveries?
Thanks in advance for any help...

It's either back up or it was never down.

This means that a program run by qmail-local, probably from a .qmail
file, is failing.

I looked at the archived message you posted about, as well as every other
result I could find, but none of them seem to apply to this situation.
Here's some more information/clarification. I'm using fastforward to
handle virtual domains as well as local aliases. The message delivery
attempt that I posted above was to 'alias', which gets forwarded to
'user'. All that is in '~/user/.qmail' is './Maildir/', so there's no
sort external programs being called. After that one delivery failed
with that error message, _every_ local delivery started failing (~150
delivery attempts before I caught it). I killed qmail-send so I could
try restarting everything, but when I ran 'sh /var/qmail/rc', I'd get
a segmentation fault. I suppose I should have checked out qmail-start
to see if that was the cause of it or what, but I was more concerned
with getting the server functional. After a reboot, everything worked
fine. This was all after about 5 days of uptime. Might there be some
sort of leak somewhere that could use up enough resources to cause this
to happen? All the machine runs is qmail, qmail-pop3d and ssh. Maybe
2.2.12 isn't be best linux kernel version to be running? I'm at a
loss.
Hopefully, if this happens again it'll be at a time of day where I can
afford some downtime. (:

I've got a related issue. My partner has put an item on my todo list to move
all the mailboxes from the user's home directories to a sub-directory.
The reason for this is that apparently many of our customers can't resist the
impulse to put random files into the mail folders. These are people who are
sitting on PCs or Macs and see their home directory as a folder on their
desktop. Apparently when they see a subfolder with the name of one of their
contacts, they forget that it's a mail box and think it's a handy place to put
data that just magically appeared.
One could easily argue (as I attempted to do) that there is no problem here
because users know what they create, but in reality, as we get increasingly
ignorant users, that assumption becomes less and less tenable.

The contents of the "me" file are what you want to be after the @ sing for your
client's email
addresses (except virtual hosts), and it has to be something resolvable via DNS. If
your machine
is ping-able by the world as marekserver.intercreations.com, that'll do.

Hi,
How do I start an IMAP server under Qmail ? Can anyone send me
adresses of doc's about IMAP configuration servers...
Thanks,
Pirolla
Newbie alert.
I've got qmail 1.03/smtp/pop3 running nicely on Caldera 2.2 (thanks to
all who helped with the checkpassword problem!).
Next wrinkle: I need to set up relaying so that (1) any mail *not* for
our local domain gets sent to our ISP's smtp server and (2) the ISP's
machine will forward to us any mail destined for us (the ISP hosts our
actual internet mail domain).
The readmes and man pages haven't been too much help. From what I can
tell, inbound SMTP really shouldn't require anything (other than opening
the firewall). Am I right, or is there some configuration needed for
inbounds?
As far as outbounds, it appears that doing the following should work:
echo <ispmailhostname> > /var/qmail/control/smtproutes
chmod 644 /var/qmail/control/smtproutes
Is it this simple, or am I missing something?

The ISP has to configure this on their end.

Almost all the sample .rc scripts for qmail run it under tcpserver via
the "supervise" utility.
The docs for supervise refer to ./run files and, while I understand the
theory behind supervise's operation, I haven't a clue what my ./run
script files should contain for each of qmail-send, qmail-smtpd and
qmail-pop3d. It seems to me the commands to run these are already
contained on the command line in the scripts, eg.:
supervise /var/supervise/qmail/smtpd tcpserver -x/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb \
-u 501 -g 900 0 25 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd &
Any help would be appreciated.

That's the daemontools 0.53 syntax.
If you're using scripts that use the 0.53 syntax, you'll have to
install daemontools 0.53. If you want to use 0.61, you'll have to
create the appropriate run files or find some that someone else has
written.
In "Life with qmail" I use 0.53: I tell you where to download it, how
to install it, and provide the scripts to use it. I haven't switched
to 0.61 yet because the setup is a little more complicated, and 0.53
works perfectly well.

I've sent a message on this list some days ago about how I use daemontools

Hello all,
I just had a brain lock, where does one modify the MANPATH variable so
that it is good system wide, and not for each user individually?

Depends on the Operating System
FreeBSD (3.0+, at least) it's /etc/manpath.config

wherever you get your other environmental variables.../etc/profile,

Depends on your shell.
If you are using llinux, just insert /var/qmail/man in your /etc/profile or
/etc/csh.login or whatever shell you use.

Some ISPs really suck, but are the only option in some areas?
At home, my ISP wants me to use their SMTP gateway, which delays mail
by about 20 minutes. Yes, they're running Windoze. OTOH, my own mail
server can send mail far faster. And no, switching ISPs is not an
option.
Of course, I cheat, and have a GRE tunnel to my mail server here at
work, but that's really not something Joe Random Spammer can do :)

Hi all,
I'm absolutely new to qmail and I'm working on the installation since
yesterday evening 6 pm.
There are many problems I have and I don't know with which I should
begin. But there is a language question to you who wants to answer me:
do you speak german too? If not, then I have problems with some words...
:((
Let's go to the setup problems.
I'm hosting several virtual domains and told qmail in
/var/qmail/control/virtualdomains the names. I restarted qmail-send and
postings to the domain are logged with the syslog entry "... delivery
50: deferral: unable_to_find_alias_user!/". Where do I have to write in
the alias? I don't think in /var/qmail/alias. I didn't found something
about the .qmail file in /home/user.
The next problem is, that I must relay selected users. I've read the
documentation more than one time but it won't run. What do I make wrong?
I have no ideas.
What do I have to start other than qmail-pop3d or qmail-popup so I can
read mails over modem (if I remember right then it is ppp)?
You see I have much problems. Other will come in the next days.
Thanks for your help in advance.

I wish someone would translate "Life with qmail" to German. Or any
other language, for that matter.

Show us your virtualdomains file. Better yet, run qmail-showctl and
show us the outout.
>I restarted qmail-send and
>postings to the domain are logged with the syslog entry "... delivery

You do have a user called "alias" in /etc/passwd, don't you? Did you
verify that the installation worked before you added the virtual
domains?
>Where do I have to write in
>the alias? I don't think in /var/qmail/alias. I didn't found something
>about the .qmail file in /home/user.
/var/qmail/alias/.qmail-* is for system-wide aliases.
/home/user/.qmail-* is for user extension addresses. Either can be
used by a virtual domain, depending upon what you put in the
virtualdomains file.

We don't either, until you tell us what you did.

It's not clear what you're trying to do. Do you have a UNIX/qmail box
attached to the Internet that you're trying to access from a Windows
PC at home?

I sort-of spoke some German at one point; but that point was 27 years
ago, and a good part of it was before I knew anything about
computers. I'm afraid we're better off with your English than my
German; sorry!

Need to know your exact entries in virtualdomains. They're of the form:
ouroboros.demesne.com:ouroboros
proshaven.demesne.com:bjf-proshaven
demesne.com:demesne
and the second part (after the ":") identifies the user who will
control the virtual domain. I think the "unable_to_find_alias_user"
part is a reference to one of the things you specified here not being
found in /etc/passwd. (In the examples above, ourboros, bjf, and
demesne are users in my /etc/passwd file).
So: what exactly is in your virtualdomains, and do each of the prefix
users specified there actually exist on your system?
And I'd ignore the other problems for now; one thing at a time, and
this is definitely the one to tackle first. Get ordinary incoming and
outgoing mail working first, and worry about relaying and POP users
later. Until you have a solid foundation, don't start building on it!

I get on some (local) users mails without problems and be able to send too
with the exception that I must write in the name of the domain where the
mails should go in /var/qmail/control/rcpthost. I know that's not the way
but I don't have a better solution currently. :((

Okay; now, to what exact email address was the message that generated
that error message addressed?
Say it was to [EMAIL PROTECTED]; my next question will be, is there
a user stockhau in your /etc/passwd file (since that's the controlling
user for the virtual domain 1asonne.de. And is there a .qmail-default
file, or a .qmail-somebody file, in ~stockhau?

www.1areisen.de. The user you see is "yildiz". He exists as a real user on my system,
means
stands in /etc/passwd.

No. Only a .qmail file with the entry "./Mailbox/" so like the documentation tolds me.

That's wrong... mailbox is like so in .qmail './Mailbox' there's no
trailing slash. trailing slash stands for Maildir.

Okay so far. I'm now wondering if I'm off on the wrong branch of the
debug tree, though; the error message seems to say it *couldn't* find
the alias user, but we just did. Still, let's run down to the bottom
just to see.
What *user* at www.1areisen.de was the test email addressed to? Let's
say it's user fred (that is, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>); then the local
delivery that will result is to yildiz-fred. If user yildiz doesn't
have either a .qmail-fred or a .qmail-default file in his home
directory, then the delivery will fail. (I don't think it will fail
with the error message given, though, which is bugging me).

You've probably already seen the message from another user pointing
out that the trailing slash is for maildir format, not for mailbox
format. I don't think that could be the underlying cause of your
error message either, though.

Also I just noticed that my message to you bounced... You should probably
re-read the documentation for .qmail files and not try to use procmail yet
until you get the rest of the system working. I can understand that the
existing documentation may be difficult for a non English-first-language
person. I'm sure many of us found the DENSE style difficult to parse at first.
Hi. This is the qmail-send program at booms-edv.de.

has anyone written, or does anyone know of any patches/add-ons to qmail
or MLMs that will happily coexist with qmail that handle final delivery
address correlation?
e.g.:
for the following assume that first.last@ and username@ are both
delivered to the same mailbox on some remote machine not running qmail.
if i define a list, list1, with two members, [EMAIL PROTECTED] and
[EMAIL PROTECTED], when i send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] the user should
receive one copy of the message.
also, if i create a list, list1, and define [EMAIL PROTECTED] as a
member, then create a second list, list2, with the members
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED], then when mail is sent to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] the user should only receive one copy of the massage.
also, if i define list1 as in the previous test and send mail to
'[EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED]' or
'[EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED]' then the user should only receive
one copy of the message.

Not that I'm aware of. The problem is that the sending system is the
wrong place to eliminate duplicates.

What if someone on glurb.org sends a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]?
What if [EMAIL PROTECTED] is on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list, and someone
on blah.org sends a message to "[EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED]"?
The only way to eliminate all duplicates is to catch them on the
receiving system.
E.g., I use the following procmail recipes:
# Use a 10Kb cache of Message IDs received to avoid duplicate messages
:0 Whc: .msgid.lock
| formail -D 10240 .msgid.cache
# Save probable duplicates for inspection
:0 a:
spool/dupes
Which file messages with duplicate Message-ID's in a "dupes"
folder--because sometimes Message-ID's aren't as unique as they're
supposed to be.

yes, i agree that it's not best place to deal with this, and in a
perfect world all MUAs would suppress displaying multiple messages with
identical message ids, but we're not there.
environments with multiple internal mail subsystems (e.g. sendmail,
exchange, notes, quickmail, ccmail, etc) must deal with this problem at
the lowest common denominator, usually a primary mail relay for all
systems. this is especially true if your lists and/or business patterns
necessitate that you communicate, on a regular basis, with people on
other mail subsystems.

i can't control other mailing lists; i can live with this. all i care
about is my corporate lists and my corporate users.
procmail would be great if everyone were using UNIX and competent enough
to install and maintain a valid procmailrc, but in environments where
you ___MUST__ interact with closed mail systems this is simply not an
option. for administrative purposes this isn't realistic in an env with
>3000 employees either.
i'd love any suggestions anyone has.

qmail puts that in Delivered-To:
Looks to me like you get a Delivered-To: each time the envelope changes,
so that should give you the trace info you need.

Um, that's the effective envelope recipient. I'm looking for the envelop
_sender_. Normally that ends up in the Return-Path: upon final delivery.

Well, then have a look at the header of this email...
In my first answer it was:
Received: from unknown (HELO pipeline.ch) ([195.134.128.41])

Cool! I didn't look at the header before, sorry.
Now it's of course a matter of patches being politically acceptable here...

I have seen it - I'm not sure exactly what fixed it, but it was definitely

If not, the problem is that you're trying to override the right MX
with a fake (or experimental, as you like) MX.
Rethink about the mail organization.
Hope that helps.

Thanks everybody. I'm not sure what did it. I killed all qmail
processes (thanks Lyndon!) and added the .qmail file to my home
directory and restarted. Now it works.
Thanks a bunch!
Oh, Luis, yes. My real mail server (as viewed from the outside) is
mx.netwizards.net. I am trying to get everything setup here locally for
the "big move". But I figured my mailer wouldn't know the difference.
And now that it is working, that assumption appears true.. Thanks!

I am installing qmail on a test system, using "lwq" as instructions.
If all goes well I will use qmail on my RHLinux6.0 box to distribute mail to
clients on our local windows network (Netscape messenger clients).
My problem has come after the build when I want to do
./config-fast the.full.hostname
I have a dial up connection to my isp and a dynamic IP address. I wish to
set up:
fetchmail to collect my mail from isp mailbox (several accounts such as
[EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] etc)
then my windows boxes will point their mua at qmail (with netscape
messenger)
to get their mail at their workstation.
So my Linux box does not have the.full.hostname - only a name ("my name")
I hope someone can help me with this
Regards,
Stephen Lavelle
PS thanks to Dave for lwq and sorry for long winded post.
Is it possible to use qmail-popup without using the Maildir format? I
am trying to use $HOME/Mailbox for mail and gather my remotely via
POP-3, but I keep getting the message:
Could not connect to mail.bluejava.com (my domain)
-ERR this user has no $HOME/Maildir
Any ideas?
Thanks!

The short answer is no.
The long answer is you could use it, but not with qmail-pop3d. You'd need to
write your own pop3 daemon that worked with the qmail-popup/checkpassword
semantics.
If you don't want to use Maildirs, don't use qmail-popup/qmail-pop3d.

I use UW's imap daemon with qmail, but I don't use Maildir. I have seen
references to patches to imapd to allow it to support maildir. Can't
help you much more than that.
As for security, UW's imap daemon supports Kerberos V through GSSAPI
(but I don't know how available kerberos is outside the US). It also
supports CRAM-MD5 hashed passwords, but this requires a cleartext file
of passwords to reside on the imap server. Lastly, I'm also using
sslwrap (http://www.rickk.com/sslwrap) to allow SSL encrypted connection
from Outlook Express and Netscape to access imapd. imapd then uses
whatever PAM module I like to authenticate the user. (We use krb5, but
there are also nis, NT-PDC, and possibly LDAP authentication modules
available.)

Hi !
Is it possible that qmailanalog calculates how much traffic was
done by a specified user oer specified domain ?
I need to count the MBs for *@mydomain.net.
After using grep and so on i have a list if *@*.domain.net and the
traffic,
but it would take sooooooo long to calculate evrythign by hand then.
Thank you,
Thomas

So, where must it be realy?!
Thomas
Hi to all!
I already have the following entry in my virtualdomains file:
doods.net.ph:ecj
If I send mails to [EMAIL PROTECTED], no problem. However, if I send to an
alias, say [EMAIL PROTECTED], it remains in the queue. I already have a
user named 'pogi' and have .qmail-pogi in ~ecj.
What else am I missing here?
Thanks in advance!
Regards,

I know that it is a bad idea, but my problem is that the user that I have given
a mail account
in my system has dinamic IP addressing. So, how can I allow using my smtp server
as a relay to
this user and no for nobady else if I dont know his IP address???

I made some changes to tcpserver to support as many blacks lists as a person
wants several months ago -- I'm doing it by building a compile time table
(you could externalize it if you wanted and that would be super
enhancement). I've been planning on packaging the changes cleanly as
diffs -- but haven't gotten around to it.
I've now had a couple people tell me they'd like this capability -- so since
I'm being a slug about getting the diffs together as a patch, feel free to
download a tar file of the (complete) changed source (and doc) files they
are at http://qmail.xchng.net/public/source/tcpserver.tar.gz
This is derived from ucspi-tcp-0.84 -
