does anybody know how i compile qmail in my home directory without installing

That's easy:
cd to your home directory, unzip and untar the qmail distribution,
cd into qmail-1.03 directory and type "make". This will compile
qmail, but you can't really run it, unless you install it
according to the instructions.

You need to be root. There is no way to install qmail without being
root, because it needs to chown files. That said, change conf-qmail
to be the directory under your home directory (e.g. /home/ali/qmail).
Then follow the instructions in INSTALL.

The qmail logfiles give quite verbose hints to these facts.

No. It's a secret. You can't look in the log files and they won't
tell you exactly why the delivery was deferred.

Try control/badmailfrom. Just list the email addresses or hosts that send you
spams. Look at the FAQ for more info.

Hi Pierre!
It's quite a difficult construction you have. I had to draw a picture first,
but I think I can solve it. On your main site you create a virtual domain
called bxl.prescom.fr. (You know how?!) In the directory all mail for
bxl.prescom.fr gets delivered you create a .qmail-default file with �forward
[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> . The last thing to
change is .qmail-toto in the directory prescom.fr-mail gets delivered to:
�forward [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I think this
should work.

Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Im Auftrag von
Pierre L�onard
Gesendet am: Mittwoch, 24. November 1999 10:48
An: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Betreff: subdomaine adressing and qmail
Hi,
I use qmail on the main site of my company, Prescom, and now I have to
install local mailboxes for the remote site.
We have only one fixed IP address for the domain prescom.fr, at the main
site.
When I send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and toto is on the remote site I
forward, with a .qmail file, the mail to the remote bal :
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Then at the remote site I get the mail with fetchmail, pop3, and deliver it
localy with qmail.
Ok
Now I am on the remote site and I want to send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
And tyty is at the main site.
How can I sort this mail and put it in the output queue and keep the local
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
The discrimination based on the domain name is not enough
So I declare the remote site as a subdomain : bxl.prescom.fr.
So, when I am at bxl.prescom.fr I can send the mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
and [EMAIL PROTECTED] Note that bxl.prescom.fr is the same IP addresse that
prescom.fr. OK
But , If I am at the main site and I send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] the
forward in the .mail don't change the domain name of the address
and on the remote site a will reject the mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
So, I use formail to process the "To: " address and pipe the mail to
sendmail -oi -t . But unfortunetly, sendmail Reprocess the "Cc" field and I
get multiple copies of the mail.
So, I use the -i "Cc:" option of formail to avoid the copies by replacing
the "Cc: " by a "Old-Cc: ". But, in that way the reader don't know who
receive the mail and can't use the "reply to all" of the mail reader.
Ok I have no more solution at that moment, So If someone could help me.
Itwill be great.
Sincerely.

BEWARE: "killall" has different meanings on different OS's. On
linux and FreeBSD, it sends the desired signal to the process named
on the command line. On Solaris, it sends a TERM signal to ALL
processes, effectively performing a shutdown.
It's better to suggest a more generic solution, like:
kill -1 <pid of qmail-send>
and let the user determine the pid of qmail-send themselves.

Another good reason to use daemontools...
Part of my init script...
doqueue|alrm)
echo "Sending ALRM signal to qmail-send."
svc -a /var/lock/qmail/send
Sends an ALRM signal and forces the queue to process.

All you linux folks: Please don't suggest using killall without warning.
It's not standard unix (so what?) and the only other place I've
encountered killall is on solaris, where it tries to kill *all* processes.

I thought of that the moment I pressed 'y' to send, and was in too much of
a hurry (busy life :( to fix it....
And yes, I _have_ shot myself in the foot on Solaris :)

There is no standard unix. The semantics of killall vary among unices,
therefore Thomas is right to comment on my use of 'killall'.

Redhat seems to call itself SysV-based, just like SuSE and Debian. I must say
I _hate_ it. But let's not have that discussion here :)

Erm, I've seen killall in a bunch of places including a FreeBSD box, so I
wouldn't say it's limited to just linux.

i think there is. the famous POSIX is a standart AFAIK but not all unixes
are POSIX compliant. andd the command that sends the TERM signal to all
the processes in Linux is called "killall5".

Hello,
I'm running Qmail 1.03 and vchkpw for my virtual domains. On 1 virtual
domain all the email accounts get a blank email with every "REAL" email they
get. I have other domains on this same machine and they run fine. It's only
on this one domain. I think the problem is in the .qmail-??? file, but I'm
not sure.
TIA.....

What do the logs show? How about the headers of the blank messages?
What's in the .qmail file?

Hi
I want to run qmail on a local server, with a policy to relay:
1. all mail whose recepient is on my domain (edited in
/etc/qmail/control/rcpthosts
2. all mail whose sender comes from a local pre-defined IP address
In which control file do I impliment #2? How?
I found some of the control files that the man page says are documented on
the qmail-send page
simply aren't documented.
Can anyone please help?
I am not on the mailing list, so please reply directly
Thanks

Great! Thanks a lot guys! It worked.
BTW, is there an available list of Windoze MUA that support Maildir? I
have tried Eudora2.x and Netscape Communicator so far and it seems ok.

Maildir should be transparent to any POP users. The only people who would
have difficulties are one who log directly onto the mail server via some
sort of shell account (and use PINE or MUTT, etc. for accessing their mail).
Your POP users can care less about the format on the server. The POP3
Server handles the actual distribution to the PC POP client.

Windows MUAs don't care or have any way of knowing what kind of mailbox format
you're using. They'll all work (to the extent that anything "works" on
Windows).

If your system supports symlinks to directories you can point
~/Maildir to /var/mail/<user>/ or whatever. The only caveat is that
all the subdirectories of /var/mail/<user>/ must be on a single file
system.

I can't seem to check new emails when using Maildir. What I did was this.
Maildir in ~doods is a symlink to /var/spool/mail/doods.
If I send to doods, the mail goes in /var/spool/mail/doods. The only problem
now is that this user can't retrieve his emails. Are there any variables that I
should change for my users? What am I missing here?
As always, thanks a lot!

i may have misunderstood your situation but Maildir is a directory and
/var/spool/mail/doods is a txt file and the formats of mbox and maildir
are totally different. it's obvious that this linking won't solve the
problem. you should decide which one to use, the mbox format or the
maildir format. maildir's said to be more stable but pine says that that
format's too slow, dunno. i prefer maildir anyway.

if the user's getting his/her mail via POP3 there shoudln't be any
prob. if he/she's using pine or elm or sth like that then read the FAQ, it
tells you what to do. there are two wrappers coming with qmail, pinq and
elq that convert the maildir format to mbox and run pine (or
elm) afterwards. i am using these with no probs...
hope this helps a bit and sorry about my bad language,
love, etc etc

Would it help if you knew they were considering switching to qmail? I
have to have hope for anyone with the sense to switch to qmail. :)

Hi,
I'm working on a mail system for a company and AOL has agreed to give
them access through a backdoor to avoid the AOL filter rules. I know it's
kind of a shady thing but you wouldn't believe the general stupidity I've seen
with filter rules. Anyway, AOL would like all their email to go to
partner.aol.com instead of the usual aol.com. The problem with setting it
up in smtproutes like
aol.com:partner.aol.com
is that partner.aol.com has only MX records and no A records so it bounces.
I'm sure someone has asked this before but is there any way I can get it to
use partner.aol.com or am I forced to edit the code and make it check for MX
records also?
Thanks

Actually, I should have mentioned something about this. The MX address
actually points to four addresses and knowing how frequently AOL machines
go down I'm hesitant to force all my mail through one of them. It would
be fine if I could do
aol.com:mx1.aol.com,mx2.aol.com
and I haven't tried it but I haven't see anything written about it.

I'm confused. Is the mail supposed to go to [EMAIL PROTECTED] rather
than [EMAIL PROTECTED], or are you just supposed to route the mail through the
partner MXes but leave the RCPT TO addresses unchanged?
In the latter case, unless you plan to send a truly stupendous amount of
mail, I'd just pick one of the partner MXes and put that in SMTProutes.
In the former case, you put aol.com in your local virtualdomains file
and write a little .qmail-default that remails everything to
"$[EMAIL PROTECTED]".

Well, it will be bunches of 200K recipient messages going out and I've know
AOL's mail routers so go down for over a day. Since this is time sensitive
material I can't really get away with waiting for a machine to come back up.
I would much rather prefer to have at least two of them available. Maybe I'll
just dig out the source to qmail-remote (?) and see if I can get it to check
for a MX record if an A record doesn't exist.
Yes, BTW, the mail will be routed to partner.aol.com but will still have the
form [EMAIL PROTECTED]
: PS: Can we all do that to get around AOL's filters, too?
No, according to them they need the IP's of the machines which will be sending
mail. Of course I haven't actually tested that so I don't know what it does.

My contact there claims it gets past the internal ones the users set up - not
the ones that AOL sets up. I've been given this stuff by the company I'm
working for but it sounds like they have a partnership agreement which, for
some reason, allows bypassing these rules. I haven't actually tried it yet
due to this smtproutes problem and I don't have an AOL account to test it
on that side. It would be nice for the inordinately large number of people
who complain that they aren't getting our daily messages but yet have their
filters so restrictive that we can't even reply to them.

Why don't you set up a name like aolmail.bittwiddlers.com pointing
round-robin-wise at all four of the IP addresses, and stick that name in
smtproutes?

Good idea. I hadn't thought of that one. Hopefully they won't change the
addresses often but it should work until I can think of something else I
might want to try.

for a local school. The nature of their internet connection is you're not
limited getting out on any port but comming in is blocked by firewall or nat
at the isp.
This means I can send out mail easily enough but how do I recieve email. Is
there a way I can pull mail from an external mail server or somthing?

hi David,
you can (or even should) use fetchmail (
http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/fetchmail/) for that task. fetchmail is
able to fetch (what a surprise) any number of pop3 accounts and
pop3-multidrop and delivers the mail to a local MTA - which of course
is qmail.
hope that helps

Sorry if you got htis twice. I thought by sending a question, I would get
subscribed. Has anyone managed to set the file descriptors in BSD/OS 4.01 to
higher than 256, and get qmail to do more deliveries? Qmail won't let me set
conf-spawn to more than 125. In BSD/OS, this is not set in the login.conf
file, it's compiled in. So, I set FD_SETSIZE in /usr/include/sys/select.h to
1024, and it still does not work. As it is, I'm using at most 40% of the
real hardware limits. Called BSD/OS tech support, and they led me to what
I've done. I saw Johannes Erdfelt's patch to allow more deliveries, has this
been done on BSD/OS?

I found out about qmail a few months ago and I installed it in a
production system basing myself on the excellent reference titled "Life
with qmail"; I use qmail's initialization script that comes in that
reference. Lately, however, several users have complained about not
receiving email from certain places. I investigated further and realized
that these places are those that have open relay configured in their
servers. My question is, which /var/qmail/control file should I specify
to receive the emails from certain domains?
I appreciate your attention, thanks in advance.
Regards
Thanks Matthew for your response and accurate comments.

As I said before, thank you for your comments. However, Matthew's response
seems to me a little radical up to a point, in other words, inflexible,
because q mail represents, according to what I have read, the contrary. My
question stems from my conception of this excellent program and also from
my stepping into the users' shoes.
Thanks for reading this, I appreciate.

Hi
a)
I'm seeing noticeables delays in smtp connections
I'm running qmail 1.03 + df with tcpserver in a straightforward scheme in
one mailserver, with no daemontools:
My startup line is:
/bin/csh -cf '/var/qmail/rc &'
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -R -x/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c120 -u7181 -g101 0 smtp \
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd &
b)
Things works fine apparently; the only unusual thing is in maillog: the
status line ONLY shows remote 20/20, (i can't see today remote 1/20,
2/20,and so on)
Example:
Nov 24 18:04:33 ferro qmail: 943466673.515194 status: local 0/10 remote 20/20
c)
Maybe a problem with the queue?
I've checked permissions in queue/remote; it seems ok:
...
drwx------ 2 qmails qmail 4096 Nov 24 19:07 16/
drwx------ 2 qmails qmail 4096 Nov 24 19:04 17/
drwx------ 2 qmails qmail 4096 Nov 24 19:05 18/
drwx------ 2 qmails qmail 3072 Nov 24 18:58 19/
drwx------ 2 qmails qmail 4096 Nov 24 19:06 2/
drwx------ 2 qmails qmail 4096 Nov 24 19:05 20/
...
d) i don't see DNS problems in other services
Just abnormal delays and only the "remote 20/20" as entry in status line
in the mail log...
Anyone saw this kind of things?
Thanks in advance for any help

As long as the permissions on your trigger aren't screwed up (and about every
three days someone posts a question here the answer to which is "the
permissions on your trigger are screwed up"), messages are processed as they're
queued. If yours are processed only every 25 minutes, make sure the permissions
on your trigger look like this:
su-2.03# ls -l /var/qmail/queue/lock/trigger
prw--w--w- 1 qmails qmail 0 Nov 24 21:58 /var/qmail/queue/lock/trigger

thnx.. I looked all over the FAQs that I could find, and I didn't see
anything in there. I even tried to search the archive of the mailing list,
but wasn't successful.
Place this into the FAQ. Say something like:
First thing to check for most problems with qmail is trigger. It must have
permissions looking like:
etc..
This way you can direct people to the FAQs, and prevent them from posting on
the list ??
Thnx.. It fixed my problem..
Place a FAQ on this ;)

Somehow your IP address has ended up on the RBL. You are being actively

Actually, most of the IPs in the DUL were contributed by the ISPs

I'd agree. I block connections from systems in the RBL or MAPS RSS
(the non-insane service like ORBS) but I use a modified version of
rblsmtpd that I call "detour" that routes DUL mail into my spam traps.
I can confirm that far more than 99% of it is spam, and that the
annual amount of legit mail that arrives here directly from dialups
can be counted on my fingers.
If anyone wants the detour program, just ask. It looks up the
incoming IP in an RBL-ish domain, and sets RELAYCLIENT to a string
from the command line if the IP matches.

I'll bet Subba is dialling up to the net using ibm.net's dialups.
They're almost certainly to be on the DUL. One of the people he's
trying to send email to is a DUL subscriber. And a damn good idea
that is, too, if you look at the amount of spam that comes from
dialups.
The solution, if you're running qmail on a dialup box, is to insert a
wildcard smtproute pointing to ibm.net's SMTP server. Like this (but
just guessing at ibm.net's SMTP server name):
echo ':mail.ibm.net' >/var/qmail/control/smtproutes

the .qmail-default in ~alias to pipe through fastfoward?
How are lists like the above example handled in fastfoward? Did fastforward
overwrite my system's existing newaliases binary?
Confused as usual with the basic INSTALL document...

Hmmm... Corel Linux includes among its packages a
"qmail-corel_1.03-1254.deb". I haven't finished downloading the whole
thing, but it sure looks like Corel Linux comes standard with qmail.
Hooray!

If that is the case, I may very well ditch RH for my co-lo...I have
two floppies worth of "mods" to my base RH 6.1. Does Corel include
all the extra goodies: checkpasswd,ucspi-tcp,daemontools,etc?? Does
the .deb extension mean they are using the Debian installer thingey?
Please keep us posted!

P.S. I worked for Corel in 92. They seemed to suffer from a chronic
case can't-get-it-out-the-door-when-we-promised syndrome, but
Cowpland is a sharp cookie. Maybe they can do better when other
people write the code.

Hello,
Is there a patch to automatically decode quoted-printable and
remove the:
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
header?
(some of the users have odd ball japanese mail clients which have problems
with charset="iso-2022-jp" webmail becoming unreadable)
Thanks in advance,
Masuo
Hi,
I am trying to setup the the qmail-antirelay for my mail server. I did
exactly the same as mentioned on this documents.
http://qmail-docs.surfdirect.com.au/docs/qmail-antirelay.html
I have this entry on my /etc/tcp.smtp file
202.51.69.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
127.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
:allow
and I did installed the ucspi-tcp-0.84.tar.gz from the qmail ftp site. But
when I tried to send from other IP's than 202.51.69.* it works perfectly.
What do I do wrong here.
Thanx
KK
any suggestion pls.

eheh no way, that guy's totally dumb, you can't even compare him to
me man. some say he's actually a very smart person who made an extra lame
page and got millions of hits and became world-wide famous this way. a
local newspaper here said he demanded c.a. $50.000 from a TV station that
wanted to make an interiew with him.
i roflmao whenever i visit his holy page and i'm sorry about the way he
represents my country :/
love, peace etc,

Hi,
our qmail server works pretty well. But since a few days ago we can't receive
mails from a special site. Thes use qmail too. Error message on remote site is
Connected to x.x.x.x but greeting failed.
I'm not going to try again; this message has been in the queue too long.
Any ideas?
Thank,
Frank
