Dear All,
Does smtproutes could route specific email to a specific server:
email for user with prefix ~a.. to ~p... will be delivered to mail
server A.
email for user with prefix ~q.. to ~z... will be delivered to mail
server B.
so it will be something like:
a-p....@domain:[IP Address]
q-z....@domain:[IP Address]
Thanks in advance
Ayip.
Yes. My smtproutes file looks like this.
ieee.org:gemini.ieee.org
lists.io.com:lists.io.com
suse.com:mail.suse.com
:mail.texas.net
Note the default address at the end (empty string on the left hand
side of the colon matches anything. I route solely by domain, nothing
user-specific though certainly you can do that. These are not
prefixes, but patterns.
HTH,
Jeff

You cannot do this, because control/smtproutes is handled by
qmail-remote(8). It checks the first argument against control/smtproutes'
first column. Here's the excerpt from the appropriate man page:
SYNOPSIS
qmail-remote host sender recip [ recip ... ]
You have to use control/virtualdomains and a selector script like this:
control/virtualdomains:
domain:domainprocessor
~alias/.qmail-domain-default:
domain/
~alias/.qmail-domainprocessor-default:
|qsmhook -x domainprocessor- -lnP /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject
`/var/qmail/bin/sforwarder %u %h`
/var/qmail/bin/sforwarder:
#!/usr/bin/perl
($user, $domain) = @ARGV;
open(I,"/var/qmail/alias/domains-$domain");
while(<I>) {
s/^([^#]*)#.*$/$1/;
next unless ($rx, $host) =~ (/^(.+) ([a-zA-Z.-]+)\s*$/);
if ($user =~ /${rx}/) {
print "$user\@$host\n";
close I;
exit;
}
}
print "$domain-$user\n";
close I;
/var/qmail/alias/domains-domain:
^albert$ mail.albert.com # albert wants his own mail
^[a-k].+ ahost.domain.com # ahost does users a-k
#^z.+ zone.domain.com # this zone is currently down
.+ masshost.domain.com # for old users
Ps: Iam curious if it works IRL (in the real life). I tested just the perl
module.

Hello qmail gurus:
I am just trying to gain an improved understanding of the results that are
returned by the qmail-qstat and qmail-qread programs.
When I type qmail-qstat and get a result that says something like:
messages in queue: 5
messages in queue but not yet preprocessed: 2
I what exactly has happened to the three (5-2) messages that have been
processed?
When I type qmail-qread and see something like these hypothetical results:
done remote addr0
done remote addr1
done remote addr2
remote addr3
remote addr4
Are the last two messages those that have not yet been processed? How
about the first three "done" messages? How long will they be reported in
the output of the "qmail-qread" command and are those messages really done
being sent to their intended recipients?
Thanks

I don't know all situations causing all kinds of results but here you are
just some of them:

They may seat waiting in the outgoing queue. For various reasons. Broken
link to the destination, dead destination server,
"insufficient_system_storage" there, temporary DNS failure,...
About "not yet processed" ones: apart from some situation when a message
originated internally is just being processed by qmail system (AFAIK), I
seem to remember this when my server was receiving some big message from
distant, slow sonnected site. Part of the message was already under
/var/spool/qmail but not complete.

Not rather. Most probably they are waiting for being delivered to remote
destination. Because of the reasons that I listed earlier. Such figure is
usual seen when one message has got more than 1 recipient and 3
recipients have been already reached but 2 left haven't been reachable
yet.
> about the first three "done" messages? How long will they be reported in
Qmail's default of keeping it in the queue is 7 days.

> being sent to their intended recipients?
Yes, these ones marked as "done" have been really delivered to recipients'
servers.
Hope it helps. If I'm misleading, some wiser person is encouraged to
correct me.

5 total in queue:
3 of these are pre-processed and scheduled for delivery
2 of these are not pre-processed

Maybe wrong here, but I think that messages that are not pre-processed will not
show up in qmail-qread.

There are 5 messages in the queue: three have been preprocessed, two
haven't. See INTERNALS in the build directory for further information
on the meaning of "preprocessing".

No, they're queued, preprocessed messages that haven't been delivered
yet.

They're successful deliveries od queued, preprocessed messages.

Until all recipients of the message(s) have been delivered or
bounced. E.g., as long as the message is still in the queue.

No, they're only complete for the recipients marked "done".

Hello all. I have been trying to get qmail to work with little success. I
have probably made some mistakes. Let me start off with the, IMO, worst: I
removed /var/log/maillog thinking that it was writen by qmail and that
qmail would recreate it. Wrong, maillog is writen by syslog. So, I give
syslog a HUP and maillog returns but ever since then the log is empty and I
don't know why. The original problem I had was something like 'can not
opendir todo' in the maillog as well as '940965762.308214 delivery 345:
deferral: Unable_to_chdir_to_maildir._(#4.2.1)/' any time I try to mail a
local message using 'echo to: me | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject'. I thought
this would be a permissions problem but I went back through the install
instructions in LWQ and everything is owned by who it should be owned by.
Likewise all the processes are owned correctly. I am at a bit of a loss.
Any suggestions?
BTW
OS - Linux RH6.0.
qmail was installed using tarballs and LWQ.
Peter Abplanalp
did you maildirmake ./Maildir in your own homedir as you yourself (e.g. not
su - root)?
is ./Maildir/ in .qmail - and located in your own homedir? note the trailing
slash!
i guess you did, but for sure: did you 'echo to: me ...' or did you use your
real username?
the "..todo..." messages seems to point to a problem with your queue, since
todo is a subdir in <wherever>/qmail/queue

Poco looks very nice:
http://www.pocomail.com/
I've never used it, though, and it's $25 after 30 days. It's small,
looks pretty, and has a good feature set, including a built-in
scripting language for procmail/maildrop-like filtering.

I've also seen Pegasus suffer the same stray line feed problem that some
versions of Eudora, Outlook and Claris Emailer has. Not sure which
version(s) of Pegasus this was, though...
Rumor has it that James Smallacombe may have mentioned these words:

Nor I, but I can tell you (pretty close) what versions of Eudora have the
problem: Eudora Lite and Pro Version 4.0 thru 4.1. AFAIK Eudora 4.2 is
finally free of the bug, but I honestly haven't seen any new "features"
that improve the software over 3.0 Pro (with which I haven't had any
problems with for over 4 years).
If you're an ISP and you're looking for something to pass out, Eudora Lite
1.5.4 is the latest 1.x version that I know of, and if you separate out the
16-bit from the 32-bit stuff (and remove a .bmp on the 32-bit side as well,
IIRC) they can be made to fit on one 1.44 Meg floppy. Just be sure to find
out what OS people are running, I don't think the 16-bit & 32-bit stuff is
interchangeable (I don't think the 16-bit stuff runs in Winblows 9x/NT).

Yes, PMMail is one of the best MUAs I know of. I still would stay with it,
if southsoft finally released a IMAP-enabled version,
PMMail is POP-only :-(.
Well, mostly working in a server-client-environment, I'll do all my work

Thanks for the correction of PMail to PMMail, I knew it didn't look
quite right when I typed it! :-)
Your reason for not using PMMail is exactly the same as mine and you
seem to be in much the same situation, I use ssh to connect to this
system where I run mutt.
I have spent a long time looking for a good Unix GUI MUA that handles
IMAP folders well and provides the multiple personalities I want for
working with multiple mailboxes but there really isn't any such beast.
I'm using tkrat (latest beta) and it's making it towards what I want
but it's not there yet on the multiple personalities front. mutt is
still best for what I want I think.

rcpthosts lists the domains *FOR* which you're willing to accept mail via SMTP.
It has *nothing at all* to do with who should be allowed to relay.
Chris
rcpthosts is for which domains your mailserver accept mail to, and you only want to
accept mail to domains that have relevance to your mailserver (either local accounts
or as a secondary MX for another mailserver). By removing rcpthosts, you are accepting
mail for all domains, and opening for abuse of your mailserver.
Your "local" users are threaten as whatever client/server trying to deliver mail
through your mailserver, until you tell qmail otherwise. That is what you are using
tcpserver for, where you accept relaying of mail from a range of IP addresses (your
local addresses!), and only allows deliver to locals/rcpthosts from anybody else.
Hope this clears things a little bit....
regards

The key phrase there is "on this host". This applies to local users
who inject mail via qmail-inject (or /var/qmail/bin/sendmail) and who
don't specifically set a host/domain in their From field.
In your case, the mail is being injected remotely via SMTP, so this
doesn't apply.

LWQ clearly states (see
http://Web.InfoAve.Net/~dsill/lwq.html#download) that daemontools 0.53
must be used and that 0.61 won't work. Did you really miss that, or
did you choose to ignore it?
Install daemontools 0.53 following the LWQ directions, and everything
will work.
If you have to have daemontools 0.61, you're on your own.

I've noticed, that quite a lot of SMTP servers is comparing a domain of
e-mail sender address with domain of SMTP-server he's using. When the
domains differs, recipient SMTP-server refuses to accept e-mail for
delivery.
Perhaps I missed something, but is it possible to make qmail to work
this way?

Well internet email works great but I have a problems using bin mail to
deliver locally. I've compile everything but I don't have the qial to alias
to binmail so how do i set it up to put the mail ins /var/mail/spool/usr.
Anyone does this
Thanks

Use the default qmail delivery to ~/Mailbox. Here is my /var/qmail/rc
#!/bin/sh
# Using cyclog to send the log to /var/log/qmail.
# Using qmail-local to deliver messages to ~/Mailbox by default.
exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" \
qmail-start ./Mailbox /usr/local/bin/accustamp \
| /usr/local/bin/setuser qmaill /usr/local/bin/cyclog /var/log/qmail
Then, you put a symbolic link in /var/mail for each luser:
shutdown all mail processing
for i in list of users
do
if [ -f /var/mail/$i ]
then
mv /var/mail/$i /home/$i/Mailbox
fi
ln -s /home/$i/Mailbox /var/mail/$i
done

Hello,
This is a very very vauge question I know, but can anyone tell me what

checked my queue and have found about 450 messages stuck waiting to be
delivered to postmaster. Thank you for any assistance you might be able to
provide.

What are the contents of .qmail-postmaster? Does ~alias/Maildir exist?
Is it in fact a Maildir? and is it owned by alias?

Well, the problem has been revealed. It had memory error, which turned to
disk error. We checked out ucspi-tcp code throughoutly but we didn't see
any bugs in it (as I expected).

I am having a problem with QMail and relaying -
When I send mail from my machine, relay it through the qmail machine,
off to a site that uses the MAPS/DUL list for blocking, it bounces. I
purposely blocked all the IP's on the DULs list except the mail relay.
What it looks like to me is that the qmail machine isn't writing a new
header on the message when it sends it ... For example, sending mail to
yahoo.com (note that only received: header yahoo's mail server sees is
from lowell.phx.vistavdi.com (a blocked address)

My company wants to monitor all incoming and outgoing messages that are
relayed through the qmail relay. The qmail box forwards all mail for our
domain to an internal mailserver using smtproutes, and has no local users.
Is there any way to record all messages (and headers) of incoming and
outgoing messages that are relayed by qmail?
Thanks,

If anyone has had any success with Amavis, I'd be interested to see how you did
it. With the latest (pre6) qmail passes the message to the script, which checks
the message for viruses, but the script never passes the message back. Aargh! I
get a "no local delivery program available" error.
I think that basename is not returning the calling program id correctly, but
I'm not sure. If anyone has already fixed this, please let me know. Otherwise
I'll post a fix here once I figure out whats going on :-)

The default qmail setup for amavis was slightly horked. You'll need to
apply the attached patch & configure it with: --enable-qmail
--enable-x-header=no. Once you have it installed, do:
cd /var/qmail/bin
mv qmail-remote qmail-remote-real
mv qmail-local qmail-local-real
ln -s /usr/sbin/scanmails qmail-remote
ln -s /usr/sbin/scanmails qmail-local
This will allow you to scan all incoming and outgoing mail for viruses.
If you do not feel comfortable moving the binaries around, you can just
add:
| /usr/sbin/scanmails $SENDER $RECEIPIENT
to /var/qmail/defaultdelivery/rc .
The attached patch fixes the following problems:
1. Should check $sender & $receiver against $SENDER & $RECEIPIENT instead
of $2 & $7.
2. Do not attempt to log to the logfile if $do_log != 'yes'.
3. Since qmail doesn't use the default $deliver program, do not check for
$deliver when attempting to pass on the mail.
I'm not sure why using formail to add the X-AntiVirus: header doesn't
work so always I disabled it. I think the proper step may be to reinvoke
qmail-inject but I'm not sure how that would work.

Subject: Please Help: Concerning Qmail Footers.
Hello,
I am having issues implementing a footer hack. I would much
appreciate anybody's input.
I put a hook in qmail-queue.c to call a perl script (simple
fork() execlp()). The perl script I wrote parses the message in
mess/x/messnum, and adds an appropriate footer (text or html). (I got
around the doubled-add by putting in an X- header, also added support for
the different Content-Types.)
Anyways, things looked great during testing (writing to
/var/qmail/queue/temp.txt, footers were added beautifully), but when it
came down to actually WRITING to mess/x/messnum:
Insecure dependency in open while running setuid at /var/qmail/
bin/footer.pl line 268.
was the warning I got.
Does anybody happen to have any insight on what I must do to get this
working? (At this time in the morning, the only thing I can think of is
putting in a sleep() in queue, and having a shell script (running as root)
mv the footer added file to the correct dir (I will not do this ^^;;).
I would much appreciate any help at all.
Thank you in advance,
Masuo Gates
Why the hell can I:
open FOO, "> /var/qmail/queue/tmp.txt";
but not:
open FOO, "> /var/qmail/queue/$messnum";
??
Could somebody direct me to what .c file is inhibiting this? (I just need
this to work for now... I will try and implement everything in
qmail-smtpd.c when I have the time.)
Thank you,
Masuo Gates

You are using perl -T. $messnum is not untainted, because you get it on
the command line or whatever, which perl doesn't like in taint mode in
a
SUID root program (it might contain for instance
../../../etc/password).
The C program preventing you from doing this is /usr/bin/perl.
I assume:
$msg = $messnum + 0;
or:
$messnum ~= /^(\d+)$/;
then:
$msg = $1;
open FOO, "> /var/qmail/queue/$msg";
would work.

Hello all. How can I get qmail to relay mail for all machines in the same
domain? I've added the domain to locals and rcpthosts. I also added
something like 'xxx.xxx.xxx.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""' to my /etc/tcp.smtp file
and then reloaded the file. I also restarted qmail (is this necessary?).
I then try to send mail from a Win98 box in the same domain and get an error
like '553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1)'.
BTW - this email comes from a qmail machine! Thanks to all who helped!

Having moved my qmail installation from a RedHat 5.2 setup to Mandrake
Linux 6.1 the one remaining thing I haven't sorted out is what exactly
one is supposed to to with /bin/mail.
The various documents tell one to stop /bin/mail being executable but
what then happens to programs which explicitly try and call /bin/mail?
I'm getting error messages from inn and a couple of other things as a
consequence of this.
Presumably one moves the original /bin/mail (or deletes it) and puts a
link to a qmail executable in its place but I can't see what at the
moment.

I run RH 6.0 with qmail and /bin/mail left as-is. It works fine for
me. YMMV.
