HI,
I would like to creat a hotmail kind of a free mail system where a user
can give his/her details and create an id on my system. This means that the
software has to interface with a few files of qmail and create a user on the
fly.. how can i do that . is there any software in the market that will give
me this kind of functionality.
Thanks

Sure,
We are using:
1) qmail-1.03
2) ucspi
3) daemontools
4) vpopmail
5) sqwebmail
6) A little cgi program that allows people to signup.
It will be included in the next release of vpopmail.
The next release of vpopmail will also have a new directory structure
to support >200,000 users more efficently.

xbuffy does it really well. It's not technically difficult,
anyway (you just test for the emptiness/non-emptiness of the
directory $MAILDIR/new).
Hi folks,
I' ve running a Qmail 1.03 server for our intranet.
Now I want to set up an external mailgateway behind a firewall.
All mails from the inernal Qmail server to a remote site should be send
directly into a POP3 mailbox of the mailgateway. If the mailgateway
recognize it has outgoing messages it should contact the mailserver of
our ISP to transfer the hole messages from outgoing mailbox.
In the other direction the mailgateway should poll all incoming messages
from the POP3 mailbox from our ISP's mailserver and should directly send
all messages to the internal Qmail server.
Q: How can I solve these Problems ?
Thank you very much

No. The easiest way to do that is to put the 20000 addresses in
~alias/.qmail-listname and send one message to "listname@hostname".
Make sure the addresses in .qmail-listname are plain, uncommented, RFC
821 addresses like [EMAIL PROTECTED], not "Joe User <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>".

That's what the approach I outlined above does.

Use Postfix instead of qmail.
qmail maximizes speed of delivery.
Postfix tries to be fast and efficient.
If your bandwidth is a limiting factor and speed of delivery isn't
crucial, Postfix is probably a better fit for you than qmail.
>Do I have to filter adresses that reside on the same remote host or
>is that a abilty of qmail?
qmail initiates a separate SMTP session for each recipient of a
message. Even if you send a message to 100 people on the same system,
qmail will use 100 SMTP sessions initiated by 100 qmail-remotes. If
the target system is a screamer, qmail can deliver these 100 messages
in about the same amount of time as it would take to deliver one
message. But bandwidth-efficient MTA's like Postfix will send them all
in one SMTP session, typically in batches of 20 or so recipients. This
uses much less bandwidth, but can take much longer. It also
complicates the MTA significantly, which tends to negatively impact
reliability.

Nah, just inject the mail and let qmail worry about the details.

Hi,
I need set same domain on two mailservers: when user does
not exist on first server, mail will be route to next one. Is it
possible?

Would that be (functionally) the same as:
echo '|forward "$[EMAIL PROTECTED]"'>
~alias/.qmail-default
?
If not, what are the differences?
Thanks,

Isn't this the same as a smarthost?
put the following in /var/qmail/control/smtproutes:
:mailserver2.example.com
where this is the address of your second mail server.

No. In order for example.com mail to be delivered on the first
machine, it must believe in its heart of hearts that *it* is
example.com. And if it does, then any addresses it does not recognize
will bounce. Instead, you need to catch undefined addresses, and
simply forward them to the same address on the other machine, where
presumably they will be delivered or bounced.

Yes, in this case, because the "default" in .qmail-default is matching
the entire local part of the address.

A while ago I modified one of the qmailanalog scripts to discard negative
numbers, but I forget which one it was. I'm currently running version
0.70 unpatched and it doesn't seem to have this problem. Perhaps you're
using the older version?

What is the exact error message you're getting? When you send email from an
outside source to [EMAIL PROTECTED], where does it wind up?
In /var/qmail/alias/.mail-postmaster, you should simply have:
&phreak
and this should cause all mail to postmaster to go to phreak (and then the
mail goes to the locations specified in .qmail-phreak).

Hi,
I wonder how it ist possible to modify some Fields in the Header.
My problem is, that some users here don't configure their Mailclients correct,
they put a wrong reply-to-Adress or email-Adress in their Preferences (like
[EMAIL PROTECTED])and it would be nice to correct this automatically on
the Mailserver, before the mail gets out. All emails coming from here should be
of the type [EMAIL PROTECTED] How can i modify the Values of these
Headerfields?
Thanks,

That's "preprocessed". Messages are queued by qmail-queue, but
preprocessed by qmail-send. So 0 messages not yet preprocessed means
qmail-send has "seen" every message in the queue.

The absence of undelivered locals is unsurprising: local deliveries
happen very quickly. When you say "remotes very recently tried", what
exactly do you mean?

You need to study the qmail-send logs, qmail-qread output, and the
queue itself to determine where the disrepancy lies. For example, the
next time a user complains about a late delivery, extract all log
entries relating to that message from its reception until its
successful delivery.
If you think there are messages in the queue that qmail-send doesn't
see, identify one by searching the queue. See if you can determine
when/how it was received.
Run qmail-tcpto and see if that explains why some messages aren't
being retried when you think they should.

Dave,
Regarding your message below; I have more questions. Mail to "joe"
continues to be delivered to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" even though
control/envnoathost reads "domain.com". Since I am using vchkpw, I have
tried adding "+host.domain.com-" to users/assign but I am not quite sure if
this is relevant during local2local delivery.
Secondly, I would like to establish mappings where incoming mail for
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" is delivered to multiple recipients. I would like to learn
more about how I would do this with vchkpw users.
Particularly I would like the set up multiple default recipients for
#5.1.1 "No mailbox here.." mail. I have managed to create a single default
by modifying popusers/users/.qmail-default to read:
"| /home/popusers/bin/vdelivermail ''
/home/popusers/users/the_default_account"
Must I go about this another way to allow for multiple recipients?

I make my startup scripts remove /usr/lib/sendmail and re-create the
symlink that I want, just in case.
The introduction of a new startup file is harder to deal with, of
course.

Why qmail pop3 service is so slow?
I have been using cucipop, and it's ast, very very fast!
After i decide to switch to Maildir i had to go through qmail-pop3d, and
now, things are not as fast as it used to be (i talk only about pop3
service).
CAn anyone here explain me what is the difference between qmail-popup
and qmail-pop3d ?
I would like to code a software, and would like to use checkpassword,
is there any URL where i can get a checkpassword internals tutor ?
Thanks a lot for your time and cooperation.

Something is wrong. Maildir-based poppers cannot be slower that
mailbox-based poppers.

Hy, thanks a lot for your help!
Yeap, it is slower.
I cannot understand too!
Another thing i saw: my load average is higher!
Ano question still keep on: Is there any place to get a tutorials on
checkpassword internals ?

checkpassword.c would probably be a very good start. It's not like
there's a lot of code there. Look yourself, and figure out how it works.

There is no such thing as security- only different levels of user
capabilities.....

Hi to everyone!
I've been using qmail's concurrency limit defaults of 10 for local and 20
for remote since I first ran qmail. Lately however, I see that my remote
deliveries always reach the limit.
All I see in the man pages about limits is their default values. Now how
can I change these values and should I restart my qmail-send process?
Thanks in advance and more power to all!

Hi ya,
I'm considering improving my mail forwarding service (I take mail for
@custdomain.co.uk and forward it). Currently, mail for domains is
rewritten using fast forward. However, this is not as flexible as i
would like, so I was considering some different ways for forwarding
mail.
My best idea so far is to deliver all the mail for all the domains
and deliver it to ~forwarder/.qmail-default. Then, that
.qmail-default file would have two lines
| rules.pl
| forward $END_ADDRESS
- now, the idea is that rules.pl would work out (from a mysql table)
where the messages was going and set the environment variable
$END_ADDRESS and then exit with the appropriate exit code (100??)
Now, I can see the following problems - IMHO is it not desirable to
pipe the whole message the rule.pl, else AFAIK the perl program may
have a huge file in memory. Equally, I understand that the
$RECIPIENT environment variable will have been set with the envelope
recipient. Would it be possible to have something like this:
`echo $RECIPIENT | rules.pl`
|forward $END_ADDRESS
in the .qmail-file.
- secondly, will the $END_ADDRESS variable, if set by rules.pl be
present in the forward program?
any pointers much appreciated.
thanks
peter
