# mv /usr/lib/sendmail /usr/lib/sendmail.old (or wherever your sendmail is)
# chmod 000 /usr/lib/sendmail.old
# ln -s /var/qmail/bin/sendmail /usr/lib/sendmail
That should have been done at qmail's installation time, although I don't
recall if it's in the docs. Also I find php easier for the simple mail
thing and you can do it from within a web page.

Seen it, but it's been awhile. Either the message itself is very self
explanitory or the answer was in the FAQ.

Could it be inetd complaining that your qmail-smtpd is being
spawned too often? If yes (ie. if you're using inetd), use tcpserver
instead.

Many of them will work with the sendmail-wrapper that qmail provides.
The suggestion to use the perl module for SMTP also makes sense.

At least the smtplib-module for python works flawlessly in it's newest
version (1.52), before it had some CrLF-problems.

Hi there,
following config :
virtual-domains :
n-online.net
hirscher.de
Handled by my qmail-server.
I now have to forward messages going to [EMAIL PROTECTED] to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED]
qmail now tells me, that the message has already been processed by qmail
and the messages
will bounce.
how can i do the above ?
Thanks a lot !

Hi,
Four of my sites are connected on VSAT network and I am using
qmail-Linux m/c at all sites, one of those four is a central relay server. Now
the problem is I want to configure foo.com domain which should work like this :
for locally configured users it should route locally and for the same domain
name(foo.com) if the user is not configured locally then it should go to the
remote relay server. If I define foo.com in locals then it sees that all
the users(whether it is for local or remote) it is taking that as locals
only and if i define bar1.foo.com, bar2.foo.com in locals for
different sites it takes all the mail account as remote and for local
users also it is travelling upto the relay servers and then going
back.
Any help highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Shailendra.

I am the person who started this thread. For those who are curious. We run
Qmail on our Listserv. We recently upgraded the system on which our
Listserv runs to a considerably faster machine. As a result when our
semester started and more and more students began to use our Listserv for
their courses, our Listserv started sending out hundreds of messages in
bursts to our primary Unix cluster that some 40,000 people use for their
e-mail access. At about this time, we added a lot of graphical e-mail
access via IMAP on our central via IMAP. This new IMAP traffic, combined
with our faster flow of Listserv traffic was bringing our main Unix system
to its knees at certain points during the day. Right now, our central Unix
system uses Sendmail as its MTA. We are giving serious consideration to
migrating it from Sendmail to Qmail since we have had such good luck with
Qmail on our Listserv and we also plan on doing some additional changes to
better process e-mail for our users.
At first, we wanted to set a low concurencyremote value just for our
central Unix system since its what most of our lists' subscribers use for
their e-mail. As it turns out, I think we were initially too generous with
the concurrencyremote setting anyway on our Listserv. It was set to a
value of 50 which we set quite a while ago, if I am not mistaken. I halved
that value a couple of days ago. As a result, our central Unix system is
no longer being bombarded with excessive Listserv traffic, but response
time via e-mail from our Listserv to our central system and others is
still acceptable.
As a result, we no longer need to do anything special to accommodate our
central e-mail system. Even so, the responses I saw on the Qmail list
provided an excellent learning experience for me and I appreciate everyone
who took the time to reply.
Thank you

If you know that you have an ongoing need to talk to hosts like this,
install another instance of qmail with the desired concurrencyremote,
and use a virtualdomain on your main qmail to redirect the mail
through that qmail. Sounds complicated, but it isn't.
echo 'dumb.host:dumbhost' >>/var/qmail/control/virtualdomains
rm /var/qmail2/control/*
ln -s /var/qmail/control/me /var/qmail2/control/me
echo '4' >/var/qmail2/control/concurrencyremote
echo '|/var/qmail2/bin/forward "$EXT2"' >~alias/.qmail-dumbhost-default

Hello Russel,
I guess you have to recompile qmail, then and have two sets of binaries etc?
So this would only be an approach for a handful of hosts.

Yes, but Do you have a lot of hosts, then dedicate some of them to have high
concurrency and some low, if you feel that you need to.

Right, those specific hosts which are consistently giving you trouble.
Hopefully you told the sysadmin that his system is broken, because if
it's giving you trouble, it's probably giving everyone else trouble as
well.

Well, not actually a problem for me, just an ``academic'' question ;-).
Right now, qmail is a very good solution for the three low-traffic-servers
(not more than 800 messages/day) controlled by me :-), but who knows what
the future will bring.
Regards
Mirko
Is there such a solution? Is there a solution to have qmail detect
viruses in incoming email messages?

Hye qmail users,
we're about to migrate to a qmail server.
We have an old sendmail machine with IP1 and a nicely qmail machine with
IP2.
We have an MX entry something like : domain.com. IN MX IP1
We cant switch IPs of the machine.
The problem is that : we modify the MX entry to redirects mail to IP2,
but we still receive mail on IP1 (because of the delay for updating DNS
entries).
How to solve that ?
1. using fetchmail ?
2. using a feature of Sendmail (didnt see anything that would fit) ?
3. a way to reduce the delay for updating MX entry ?
Thx
PS : I'm really impressed by the speed of qmail. Does 'Q' stand for
Quick ?

Don't even think about it.

Use sendmail's smarthost feature to forward all mail it receives for
your domain to the qmail host. Make sure your domain is not listed on
sendmail's /etc/sendmail.cw file (like qmail's locals file), and then
set the DS (I think) option in /etc/sendmail.cf to point to the qmail
host.

Frankly:
A. Do not tell sendmail that mail for yourdomain.com is local to it;
ie., it will deliver it to a better MX.
B. Allow relaying to yourdomain.com on the sendmail/
> 3. a way to reduce the delay for updating MX entry ?
Sure. Long time in advance (a week at least), give all your DNS
entries a short lifetime. After the change, bring the lifetime back to
normal to not have your DNS trashed.

I though it was for queue, like queue-mail.

Hello,
Just add IP1 to the qmail machine, so it accepts both IP1 and IP2.
Look at the IP_Alias HOWTO if you don't know how to do that.

You'd have to edit source code, in particular, qmail-send.c. However,
note that qmail's bounce is in a specific format, QSBMF, and so it must
begin with the text "Hi. This is the ". Other than that, you can modify
it, and even add another language perhaps. I get these type of responses
too, because customers think a human is writing them. DJB once suggested
that mailer-daemon be aliased to a bounce which tells people that
they're writing to a machine, and should instead contact postmaster, but
it's a matter of choice.

I had one of my users write back to it telling it "I know that you are
probably very busy but could you please not give up and try it just one
more time"....I then proceded to post this in the copy room for all the
staff to see- everyone got a great laugh out of that one...

Either deliver it to the local mail system via SMTP, or specify a mail
delivery agent (mda line in .fetchmailrc) that writes mail to a
maildir.
Such a MDA is available at:
ftp://ftp.nemeton.com.au/pub/src/deliver-maildir-1.1.tar.gz
The package includes a manual page; it's pretty simple. It is also
usable from qmail (sometimes useful for delivery from .qmail-* files)
and sendmail since I use hosts I don't administer that (sigh) have
sendmail on them.

Subject: SIOCGIFCONF (or qmail?) problem?
Hello!
I've just found, that bringing up ppp0 on a computer with one more network
interface causes qmail-1.03 to crash.
Investigating further, I've found that one of qmail's internal variables
gets overwriten when calling ioctl SIOCGIFCONF with pointer to ifconf
structure as argument (ipme.c, line 57 in qmail).
I still have not found if qmail gives wrong address to ioctl or if ioctl use
more memory than requested. The fail seems to occur after iterating through
ds0 interface.
By the way, what is ds0, how it should be configured, and where is it
described? What does it do?
Does anyone else runs FreeBSD 3.3-RELEASE with qmail and dial-in access?
Alex.

Use tcpserver instead of inetd.

Get qmail-ldap at http://www.nrg4u.com
We are having the same problem all of the sudden. We are already using
tcpserver for pop3d.

Does netstat -n also hang up? If not, I'd be looking for a DNS problem.

Linux 2.2.x on Alpha too? Doesn't sound like an qmail-ldap bug, it's
probably a bug of Linux kernel. I can't help with that, I have only
FreeBSD.

After 5 hours I was not able to figure out, the probs. So I decide for a
partial new installaion of my Linux. I used my 2nd System disk for a new
installation. Afetr that I copied all neccercary files from the old to
the new partition. I mounted my RAID, where qmail and my maildirs are
located. Then everything works fine again!
One strange point I have:
I'm using 2 ethternet cards, one for the "normal" network and one for a
"backbone" for ldap queries and NFS shareing. And the ldap server on
this network has no route to the outside, and the mailserver could only
query the ldapserver when I delete the "nameserver" entry in
"resolve.conf". I think the one who wrote it it maybe a DNS prob. is
right but I don't know how to figure out If anyone has a suggestoin to
me, please sens me a mail!
Anyway the system is working well and I got two servers left to test. So
lets go ahead.......
Thanks to all who helped me!
Best regards

I know I have a user fishbone in my users/cdb. How do I query users/cdb
from the command line?
I tried
bash-2.02$ cdbget \!fishbone < /var/qmail/users/cdb && echo ""
bash-2.02$ cdbget \!fishbone\x000 < /var/qmail/users/cdb && echo ""
I'm not able to retrieve the record.

I usually just ask qmail-getpw.
qmail-getpw fishbone | tr '\000' :; echo
qmail-getpw fishbone-something | tr '\000' :; echo
The problem with that, of course, is that you don't really know
whether the answer was extracted from users/cdb or deduced from the
passwd file. You might wish to create a test version of qmail-getpw
to get around that.

How dumb. qmail-getpw never looks in users/cdb; it is qmail-lspawn
which does, and then it runs qmail-getpw if the lookup failed.
Now, back in the qmail 1.01 days, I actually modified qmail-lspawn to
take a local part on the command line, do the lookup, report what it
found, and then run qmail-local just like qmail-lspawn does but with
the -n flag added. You'll probably find it in the archives:

The qmail-smtpd-wrapper is included in LWQ:
#!/bin/bash
ulimit -d 1024
exec /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd ${1+"$@"}
It just uses bash's ulimit command to limit the data segment size of
the process to 1 MB, then exec's qmail-smtpd.

The bit bucket. He asked for qmail to drop his message on the floor when
it got to cimx.com and that is exactly what it did. :) This has come up
before and been discussed many times. qmail did exactly what he told it
to. If you disagree with this behavior, please read the past threads in
one of the archives and then drop it. :)

So all ipme() users will die on ioctl trashing.
However, shouldn't ioctl honour ifc.ifc_len?
Alex.
Well, it looks like all I needed to do was go to bed and get some sleep..
because when I woke up this morning, qmail was back to working fine again.
I had a ton of test emails show up in another mailbox at another location.
I have no idea what could have help qmail up. Thanks, Russell, for the
suggestion that my /var partition might be full, but it looks to be fairly
free. Is there a cron set up that clears these things out automatically?
Maybe that is why it's working now.. but I have no idea.

Mr. Neil, i think that qmail is the best open source MTA.
It's very fast. Much more than the old sendmail.
It uses much less memory (i think) to work.
It's more stable (specially if you use ./Maildir/).
It's easy to configure, easy to maintain, easy to fix (thanks to
the list people ;-)

program it to play the old 'X' or 'O' game... ( somebody can tell me how

It's called tic-tac-toe. But the above story I've heard several times but
I have NOT seen any evidence trace of it but a small passus repeating the
fact that "... programming a tic-tac-toe game in sendmail.cf ...".
Anyone care to point me there?
No, I'm not porting it to qmail ;-)
I'm just very curious.

Hey everyone,
the message that I am getting is "smtp/tcp server failing (looping),
service terminated." Can anyone shed a bit of light on this?? Now I will
say that we were running a contest on our WWW page with all the entries
(40,000+ e-mails) being handled by the Qmail server...could that have
anything to do with it? I did a cold reboot and now it's been fine for
about 20 hours.....any ideas? I really don't like the idea of having to
reboot the machine either- it's been up for 11days....

The is an inetd error message. Switch to tcpserver for qmail. inetd has
a "feature" of disabling services that it thinks are being spawned too

It's On-Demand Mail Relay (ODMR) - SMTP with Dynamic IP Addresses
by Randall Gellens of Qualcomm.
for qmail & maildirs?
- guess it would be kinda like serialmail, but not, IYSWIM.

See complete headers for more info
What kind of beliefs are held on mounting /var/qmail/queue on a seperate
partition? Are any problems out there with this?
I'm thinking of this statement from the FAQ -->
"Do not use async (or softupdates) filesystems; if you do, and if your
system crashes at the wrong moment, you will lose mail. Under Linux, make
sure that all mail-handling filesystems are mounted sync..."
Therefore we will be testing a seperate queue partition mounted
sync (in Linux) -> but experience is best.
Good Day.
We have outer mail server with qmail installed and local mail server
behind
the first one.
I'd like to cut or masquerade name of local mail-server from Received
and other headers names.
How can I do it ?
Thanks

Since the errors are every second I believe it has something to do with
supervise. /var/log/qmail gets 10 files all time stamped. This fits with
cyclogs parameters. Inside each file is a list of hundreds of pids. Which I
think would coincide with the output from attempting to start qmail-send.
[1] 522
[1] 545
[1] 561
[1] 567
[1] 573
[1] 579
My hunch is that something is telling supervise that qmail-send is down.
This is as far as I've got. My assumptions could be wrong.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I have stopped qmail-send last night. Only qmail-smtpd, qmail-queue and
qmail-inject are running. The same messages (repeated over and over)
are piling up in queue/mess/. If this was an internal qmail-queue
problem what could be the fix? Any troubleshooting ideas? We are
running inetd. We have had this configuration work successfully for
around a year, no changes were done recently...

I have a script written in php3 that sends email via the php calls. We use

However, as of late, users of this script have been getting multiple

What do your logs say Mr. Vice President? Can you show evidence of qmail
producing duplicates. In my mail system experience, 95% of all repeated
messages happen somewhere in the POP3 transaction. (server mailbox -->
POP3 --> mail client).

FYI, this announcement fell in my mailbox.
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
I am pleased to announce the first public release of GNU SAUCE,
version 0.5.0 ALPHA.
SAUCE (Software Against Unsolicited Commercial Email) is an SMTP
server that sits between the Internet and your actual mail software.
It was originally written to help in the fight against spam, but it
also helps encourage good configuration and administration in general.
It has various tactics for reducing incoming spam:
* Extremely aggressive checks on incoming email and its sources.
If any problems are discovered the mail is not accepted.
* Spambait addresses: when mail is sent to a bait address its
sources are blacklisted.
* Mail from previously-unknown sources is delayed to give them a
chance to try a bait address or get their account cancelled.
Pros:
* SAUCE is very sucessful. It can cut spam by an order of magnitude.
* Administrators using SAUCE have to deal with much less bounced mail.
* SAUCE never bounces legitimate mail from correct, non-spamming sites.
Cons:
* Hardly any documentation at the moment - for mail experts only !
* Most spam sources are misconfigured, but many other sites are too,
and SAUCE will bounce their mail. SAUCE is not for you if clueless
strangers often send you mail that's important to you.
* SAUCE delays mail from new senders and sites (configurable, though).
* SAUCE is something of a resource hog.
* SAUCE is hard to install, especially if you're not using Debian.
SAUCE is not a mailer. You need existing SMTP software, which must
have standard anti-spam features such as relay prevention, checking
recipients during the SMTP conversation, etc. Currently you must be
using Exim, though support for other mailers could be added. You also
need Tcl 8.1 or later.
Software which will make SAUCE easier to install or more functional:
* authbind (as from Debian GNU/Linux).
* userv (`you-serve', www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~ian/userv/).
* Linux 2.2 ipchains firewalling.

repository, and distribution files, visit

SAUCE is also available via the GNU FTP site and its mirrors, listed

hi all:

do I have to make .qmail and Maildir for all users manually.
and can it automatically be produced
when a mail arrive like the Mbox or /var/spool/mail/users in Sendmail.

Yow can add maildirmake to your default delivery in /var/qmail/rc like so...
----
#!/bin/sh
# Using splogger to send the log through syslog.
# Using qmail-local to deliver messages to ~/Maildir/ by default.
export PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH:/usr/local/bin"
qmail-start "|test -d ./Maildir || maildirmake ./Maildir
./Maildir/
" splogger qmail
----
Or some such, depending on which shell environment. The above is bash.

Yes, you can, but it means that every mail delivery from now to
eternity checks for the existence of a Maildir. It's much easier to
use my convert-and-create script to create maildirs for everybody, and
add a Maildir to /etc/skel.

As it turns out, the Novell system running GroupWise 5.2 had crashed the
day before. Apparently something was stuck in the queue. By the time a
tech got to it, there were over 60,000 copies in the queue.
I suppose the problem was not really qmail related and did not belong on
the list. I wasn't sure of that though, and was looking for confirmation
that qmail was not at fault.

I have bunches of spambait addresses. Let's use them to combat spam.
How's this for a plan:
o We make some software for qmail users which extracts the
connecting IP address from spam sent to spambait. I have
something like this already.
o It sets the Subject: to the IP address, and emails the spam
to a mailing list (which I'd be happy to host).
o We make some software which gets subscribed to that mailing list.
It takes the IP address from the Subject:, and stuffs it into your
/etc/spammers.txt file like this:
IP.AD.DR.ESS:allow,RBLSMTPD=-Your host is spamming.
That file, plus your usual /etc/smtp.txt, are combined to create
smtp.cdb whenever new spamming hosts are added. From time to time
the oldest addresses are removed.
Is this of interest to anyone? Is anyone doing it already? It's not
a qmail-specific thing, although the code for the sender and receiver
would be.

This sounds like a great idea. I would be willing to try it.

There's a slight problem here...how do you prevent someone from
maliciously injecting bogus addresses into the list? Some form of
authentication included in the message to the list?
It seems to me that this is a system that would imply a great deal of
trust. I barely trust Vixie & Co. with my mail, and this potentially
involves a lot of other people. What would be the criteria for being
permitted to post to this list?
You'd also need some form of filtering to ensure that multiple copies of
the same address never make it to the mailing list, so that all the
recipients don't need to take on the work of processing them several
times.
Why not just do it as an RBL-style list, so as to make the information
more easily queried? Have the auto-submissions simply add the address to
an RBL-style DNS zone, and you're all set. Anyone with an RBL-aware system
(which is damn near anyone, these days) can then use your blacklist, and
storage/expiration would be centralized.

Edward S. Marshall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [ What goes up, must come down. ]
http://www.logic.net/~emarshal/ [ Ask any system administrator. ]
I want to do selective smarthosting for some extreme dumb reason.
I.e. I host a virtual domain for x users. A handful of them needs to be
smarthosted (i.e. SMTP:ed to another host).
I really don't want to use serialmail, but a solution similiar forward or
qmail-inject, where the REMOTE HOST can be set.
I have a very wague memory of someone using mail addresses in smtproutes,
and even that Russell said it was OK, but I can clearly see that nothing in
the qmail-remote source does anything like it, so that must be a ghost of my
mind.
Any ideas someone?
(The dumb way to do it -- which I want to avoid -- is to setup another instance
of qmail and smarthost the whole domain to The Other Host. Thus setting up
aliases for The Weird Users doing /var/qmail2/qmail-inject and thus queueing
it away fot The Other Host)

Hi,
Yesterday morning I noticed that every qmail service was down. There was an
xs4all guy who tried the host's ports (many telnet, ftp etc. connections),
including pop3 and smtp ports (these are served by tcpserver/qmail). When I
tried the listening ports, it came to light that inetd's services worked
right but tcpserver's services went down. I didn't see any exciting in the
log.

Regards: Kevin (Balazs) @ synergon
Hi,
I found a very strange program, and anyone can help me?
In the server's users/assign,I added the following line:
=hotdog:nobody:65534:65534:/usr/mail/ho/hotdog:::
so mailbox [EMAIL PROTECTED] is work fine . :)
then I did another test,I sent some letters to [EMAIL PROTECTED], for the reason
I want to know if qmail think this is letter to mailbox 'hotdog' or to another
un-existent box 'hotdog-test'. (in users/assign, it begin with '=' and not '+')
qmail's log show me :
576977.293613 starting delivery 464: msg 23707 to local [EMAIL PROTECTED]
576977.295332 status: local 1/10 remote 2/50
576977.310426 delivery 464: success: did_0+0+0/
All seems ok? but not. Either can I found this letter in hotdog's mailbox ,nor in
bounced letters.
Now ,the problem is, where does this letter go?
Hotdog

The last line says "did_0+0+0", ie. it didn't do any deliveries, or
pipes or forwards, and the message went down a black hole. Perhaps you
have a user "hotdog" in your /etc/passwd, and they have in their home
directory a file .qmail-test or .qmail-default which doesn't have
explicit delivery instructions (perhaps a single '#' character), so the
mail is getting thrown away.

We had some problems with qmail resending messages, so we removed all
the messages from /var/qmail/queue/mess directories into a backup
place. I am trying to some of them back in the queue, but when I run
qmail-qsanity I get the following error:
uid incorrect (is 0, want 950) on mess/0/57385
inode incorrect (is 1069129, expected 57385) on mess/0/57385
uid incorrect (is 0, want 950) on mess/0/57707
inode incorrect (is 1069130, expected 57707) on mess/0/57707
does it mean these messages won't be delivered? Is there a clean way of
putting messages back into the queue?
Also I can see a couple of the following:
message has no entry in info: 698465
message is neither local nor remote: 698465
where can I find an explanation of what that means?
thanks

You can restore the messages into the queue, but before you attempt
delivery, you have to fix the inode numbering and ownerships. There's a
script on www.qmail.org called queue-fix, which will help you do this.

Don't know what that means. Perhaps you haven't restored all the message
files correctly?

It's just an example extension used in the documentation to illustrate
qmail's ability to deal with address extensions.
