hi again,
i'd like the users in .mydomain.com to use my machine as a relay host. so
i did what the FAQ says, changed the smtp like in inetd.conf, HUPped it
and added the line
tcp-env:.mydomain.com:set RELAYCLIENT
but still when i try to send a mail from a client, it says
sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1)',
Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 553, Error Number: 0x800CCC79
errm, what did i miss?
thanks,
dd
Install ucspi-tcp (tcpserver) and don't use inetd

You should see if there's a way to convert it to work with qmail control
files. Then we could have a fast mathematical calculator...
Hello,
My qmail starts fine now. However, in the past, I could send email to Internet hosts
and to my other Internet accounts. Now, I am not able to do that.
Here are the entries in my log file.

The /var/qmail/control/locals file, has my LAN host names.
What configuration files, should I investigate, to resolve this problem?
Thank you in advance.

I had fun with this one. Have a look at the FAQ, right at the end of
section 5.4. Using the tcp.smtp entry was the only way I could get my
client machine to send e-mails to Qmail. Once this is setup, it should work
like a dream. Haven't tried this out on-line yet but you may have to add
the IP address of your ISP's SMTP server as well. This also bypassed the
rcpthosts file.

Hello All,
With the help of Ken Jones at inter7.com, I have qmail running on a
slightly faster pent-133 (as opposed to a pent-100), and things are working
well, however, how fast should an SMTP connection take to this box (it has
a static IP which is part of our companys class C), and runs NAT via
IPchains, smtp/pop3 via qmail v1.03, sshd 1.1.27, samba, etc...to send a mail
message takes on average (since this morning) about 20 seconds, and then it
is gone...running tcpserver with -H -R, there is a caching DNS server running
on the pent-133, and lookups go quite fast (IMO), and UUnet handles our DNS
table...Any ideas guys?
Or a better question is how long should an SMTP connection take to form on
machine which IP address range is in 192.168.3.x (and that range is listed
in tcp.smtp.cdb)...<blink>

This is a silly question. They are completely different. SMTP is a
store-and-forward protocol. IM is not. QED.

Hi, I'm setting up qmail on a machine which will need virtual domain support
for some of his customers. I've run into a snag however.
I need to still allow local mbox clients such as pine, etc. to read mail, as
well as allow virtual users to download their mail via POP3.
Is there any solution for this, besides patching local clients, recompiling,
etc., or using maildir2mbox?
Essentially I wonder if there's a virtual domain plugin similar to vchkpw
which will support the mbox format. vchkpw would be perfect for my needs if
it were not for this requirement.
The only methods I see of solving this are rather kludgey (sp?):
a) use vchkpw with qmail-local and qmail-pop3d with Maildir format, and run
something like fetchpop to move the mail to /var/spool/mail for the benefit
of local clients (this is really a bad idea).
b) run vchkpw with qmail-local and qmail-pop3d -- on a different port # --
and run fetchpop to move the mail to /var/spool/mail, where local clients
and another pop3 daemon, such as qpopper, could access it.
There must be a better way. Can anyone offer advice?
Thanks much.

We would like to set up a subdomain on our system, say, 'fwd.example.com'.
When mail gets sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED], it gets rewritten to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (along with some other headers) and resent.
My guess on how to do this is:
* Create a 'forwarder' user
* Put '.fwd.example.com:forwarder' in virtualdomains
* Create 'forwarder's .qmail file to execute a script to rewrite and resend.
At that point, the script can validate the destination e-mail address (this
is a subscriber service), do whatever...
My questions are: will this work? Is this the best way to do it? If not,
what is? Any suggestions, on- or off-list, are welcome.

[EMAIL PROTECTED]
This may be a dumb question but this has me baffled.
defaulthost is set to my node provided by my ISP. This was tested as per
the FAQ on my qmail machine and workes perfectly. ie mail sent is rewritten
as [EMAIL PROTECTED] when sent as " echo to: me | qmail-inject".
If I try to send an email, even a local one, from Eudora, the to: or from:
headers are not rewritten.
I am stuck with Sendmail until I can sort this one out. It's driving me mad!
Regards, carrott.
The Net:POP3 login method expects to get a message count back after a
successful login. Qmail's pop3d does not provide a message count, so
it's impossible to tell if login succeeded (-> login() always returns
as a "fail"). Is there a patch available to qmail's pop3d to return
the number of messages after a successful login?
Thanks,
jon

I haven't actually verified this in practice, but it looks like the
Net::POP3 module will return <undef> if the login (or pass) command
fails. If the login is successfull, it will return either 0 or the
number of messages, if that was given in the password reply.
So you don't need to look for patch to pop3d, instead in the perl
script you should be checking for a return value of <undef> instead
of non-zero to indicate login failure. Not doing this will give you
a "failed login" even on servers which do give the message count, but
the mailbox just happened to be empty.
Hope this helps,
Mikko

Oops, I meant of course "not true", not "non-zero".

Qmail's pop3d conforms to the rfc (1939). Net::POP3 attempts to snarf
the number of messages from a comment after the +OK response to PASS,
but if that fails it issues a STAT and gets the number that way.
In short, I don't see a problem here[*]. This test give the correct
result when run against a pop3d server:
perl -MNet::POP3 -le '$p=Net::POP3->new("pop.example.com");
print $p->login("username","password");'
[*] Parsing a comment is reckless, but isn't a problem when the server
is pop3d.
