I'm sorry if I gave incomplete details.
I have executed maildirmake /var/spool/mail/doods and then linked this one to ~doods.
So now, ~doods contains Maildir -> /var/spool/mail/doods. I have also set 700
permissions to this directory and made its owner doods. I have another machine and
made similar setup that works fine. The only difference of these other machine is
that it is running qmail-popup with qmail-pop3d. The machine that I am having problem
is running the usual qpopper.
Any suggestion?
Thanks!!!

qpopper doesn't understand the maildir format. If you're using maildir, use
qmail-popup/qmail-pop3d.

You also have to add linux.cebu.pilnet.com to control/locals and
control/rcpthosts. When you're through give the qmail-send process a HUP.

Just curious.
Have you already compiled your tcp.smtp file into cdb format?
Is your tcpserver already running?
Take a look at http://cr.yp.to/qmail/faq/servers.html#tcpserver-smtpd for more
details.

Easy to solve: Change your last line (:allow) to :deny. Then this setup only
allows connections from 127. and 202.51.69. . I think, that's what you want.

Are you crazy? That will block all incoming mail, except those sent from 202.51.69.
and loopback.

Err... I don't think he is crazy. I did almost what he does, (except for 127.), and my
qmail can
send and receive all incoming and outgoing mail from any remote machine.
I think by doing what he say, we will be able to disallow machine that is not part of
the local
network to use the mail server to relay emails

No. Whether he is actually crazy may be subject to debate, but what he
suggested is wrong. :deny as the last line of his rules file will cause SMTP
connections that are not coming from his local LAN to be denied altogether.
While this will stop relaying, it'll stop it at the expense of being able to
receive mail from the Internet at all.
In short, do *not* put :deny as the last rule (or any rule) in your rules file.

Oh ya... how silly I am... what he mention is changing the last line...

So by removing the last line (instead of changing to deny) should work!

Right.. that's exactly what's going to happen. If you take a good at the
document, it will say that :allow is rather contradictarary to the relaying
exercise. :allow with no IP address will allow ANYBODY to use the mail
server..
remove :allow and rebuild the tcp.smtp.cdb again and it will work just fine.

You got it all confused, man.
:allow and :deny control who can _connect_. Setting or not-setting
the environment variable RELAYCLIENT controls who can _relay_.
Certainly you _want_ people to connect to your server, don't you?

:allow is default anyway. If you put it there or take it out, you don't
change anything.

You've got some things mixed up... what the docs say is that :allow is
_redundant_, since that is the normal behavior. and that IS what you want. Everybody
is supposed to connect to your mail port.
You DO want to allow connections; the "trick" is to create an env. variable
named RELAYCLIENT when a connection comes from one of the specified networks. If that
variable doesn't exist, qmail won't relay, but will still allow connections.
Resuming, his file is OK. Something else is wrong, but we don't have enough
data to find out what that is (is there a cdb file? Is it being used by tcpserver? is
there a control/rcpthosts file?)

Ok, I've got a configuration with two mailservers. One incoming and one
outgoing. Sorry, I forgot that not everybody has this setup. You're right,
in your situation it would not allow recieving mail from the internet. So
you've got to setup a rcpthosts file, otherwise the setting of RELAYCLIENT
makes no sense. By setting RELAYCLIENT you tell qmail to ignore rcpthosts
file and so you can relay.
Sorry, I shocked you this way. It was not my intention!

This is right on the mark. I use Qmail on my server, but have dial-up connection.
I became aware of DUL once I started using Qmail. Now, I have my smtp server
from ibm.net in the smtproutes and the world is a happy place.
It is my turn to fight spam. :-) I am going for the rblsmtpd package.

Hi,
I am running a qmail mail exchanger for a University. We have one Novell
Groupwise Server doing mail, and quite a few other unix and apple servers.
I have changed from sendmail to qmail, and it seems like I cannot get the
following to work on it like it did on sendmail.
Some of the servers host names have to be changed when the mail leaves and
enters the mail exchanger, ie. foo.server.edu changes to server.edu, but
bar.server.edu must not be changed.
Selected users want their mail to be intercepted before it is passed on to the
smtproute, and to be forwarded to another email, without
the need to have a complete userlist on the mailexchanger
ex. [EMAIL PROTECTED] must not go to the standard server, but to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Thanks for all who contribute to this mlist

Hi again!
I just wanted to know if qmail-pop3d creates a temp maildrop just like
qpopper and where. Can we direct it to another directory? This will be
of great concern on our server since we setup quotas on /var/spool/mail.
Thanks again for any help and more power!

No. qmail-pop3d only works with Maildirs precisely because Maildirs
make it so easy to write a pop3 client. No copying, no locking!

No. Qmail never edits message contents.

Corel distro is based on Debian. You should be able to install any Debian
pkg on top of Corel.

Corel Linux is based on Debian..
Is this debian-package provided by corel? Or maybe Debian now has a
binary qmail package (They have a source package for a while now).

I agree... ;-)

Yes, it appears to be a binary. The only reason why certain parties
have had a problem with the binaries is because they have to be
adapted on a per-machine basis including uids. Well, if you ship the
system with the qmail uids from the start, it's no problem. And
indeed, there they are:

I have no problem with binary distributions - i love them, especially with
debian - just an "apt-get install qmail" and you have qmail...
Thank you, corel!!!!

I never had troubles with A Records pointing to something different then
MX-Records. But I had big trouble, when I tried using a CNAME for the
domain, instead of an A record.
using:
domain.com MX 25 smtp.domain.com
domain.com CNAME www.domain.com
www.domain.com A 1.1.1.1
smtp.domain.com A 1.1.1.2
made sendmail send mails to our webserver... ;-)

well - since the problems are with the sender, using qmail for your own
mail-server doesn�t help you...

Repeat this a 100 times:
a CNAME entry may have no other ressource records or I'll get errors
"has CNAME and other data (invalid)"
which I can look up in my logfiles
After that go and fix your zone file.

That interests me too. Let's say I've got server.xy.ch which provides
mail and web services for a number of virtual domains. Thus for each
ss that and is nevertheless correct?uch domain I have
domain.ch CNAME server.xy.ch
and have setup the web server to accept http://domain.ch and the mail
server accepts [EMAIL PROTECTED] addresses.
Now for some reason, I want to migrate the web server to web.xy.ch while
keeping mail on server.xy.ch. What would be the correct solution?
I would have also attempted the MX/CNAME construct shown above, as
domain.com MX server.xy.ch
domain.com A <IP address of web.xy.ch>
has the obvious disadvantage, that you replicate the ip address of
web.xy.ch multiple times, once for each such virtual domain. And I
wouldn't have supposed, that while with an A/MX pair mailers do prefer
MX over A, they wouldn't do it in a CNAME/MX configuration.
Is there any other solution which avoid mapping of multiple domains to
the same IP-address and is legal?

No. Well, yes, map multiple domains each to its own IP address.

Hi!
I just downloaded the patch to make quota exceeded failures a permanent
one. However, I am getting problems running the patch. (I am not much
familiar with patching programs. Sorry.)
Is there a complete instruction available for this?
Thank you!

I didn't patch qmail, I installed (copied it and put a line in the user's
configuration) and works 100% without the problems of compiling.

Qmailadmin
problem--------------------------
I have a default domain named
dnet.com.sg.........
I need to administer this default domain
(dnet.com.sg) through qmailadmin.
For which you sent me the following steps
were carried out.
How the linking was
1.
vadddomain <virtualdomain> <postmaster password> -------->
[ vadddomain
dnet.com.sg <postmaster password>]
2. vdeluser
postmaster@<virtualdomain>
--------->
vdeluser [EMAIL PROTECTED]]
3. mv
~vpopmail/users/* ~vpopmail/domains/<virtualdomain> ---->[
mv
~vpopmail/user/* ~vpopmail/domains/dnet.com.sg
4. vadduser
postmaster@<virtualdomain> <password> ----------> [vadduser
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
5. rm -rf
~vpopmail/users
6. ln -s ~vpopmail/domains/<virtual domains>
~vpopmail/users ----> [ln -s
~vpopmail/domains/dnet.com.sg
~vpopmail/users
How are you adding your new users?
I am
adding new users through qmailadmin
Also I checked the
/home/vpopmail/users/vpasswd file and this is what
it
shows

Why
is it saying NOLOGIN to those users I created using qmailadmin and

those users which i created through vpopmail.
Could anyone help me
regarding this

I guess that maybe this isn't the right place to ask this question, but I'll
try anyway.
I want to moderate some of my mailing lists in the following way:
1) Some of the lists I want to personally add/delete people from and no
other then the subscribers should be able to post or get any message (with
the 'get' instruction).
2) One list I want to specify who can post to the list. The list should be
free to subscribe/unsubscribe to.
I am also hosting several MX sites on my mail server and I want that
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] is NOT the same mailing
list, but two separate lists.
Best regards
Michael Boman
