Converting html to txt using lynx -dump would be even better, don't
you think so ? :)

This procmailrc file changes the any multipart/alternative part content type
from text/html to text/x-html.... this causes my e-mail client (Outlook) to
choose the text/plain part and ignore the HTML because it does not recognize
it.
In retrospect, I'm not quite sure why I used sed and not just perl...
[root@w1 /root]# cat ~dharris/.procmailrc
#
# Rewrite mime types on multipart/alternative member messages from text/html to
text/x-html
#
:0 i :
* Content-Type:.*multipart
ALT_BOUNDARY=| sed --silent -e ' /[Cc]ontent-[Tt]ype:.*multipart\/alternative/
b loop; d; :loop; s/^.*boundary="\([^"]*\)".*$/\1/; t gotit; n; /^[[:space:]]/
! d; b loop; :gotit; p; q;'
:0 f :
* ! ALT_BOUNDARY ?? ^$

{ x; s|\\(\\n[Cc]ontent-[Tt]ype:.*\\)text/html|\\1text/x-html|; p; d; }; b

This works for me. I insert it into my .qmail file just before the
"./Mailbox". It forwards the text part to nelson-alternative, which
just has "./Mailbox" in it.
#!/usr/bin/perl
#Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
# boundary="----=_NextPart_000_0076_01BDFB89.721C71C0"
while(<>) {
$continuation = 0 if /^\S/;
$continuation = 1 if m!^Content-Type: multipart/alternative;!i;
$boundary = $1 if $continuation && /boundary="(.*?)"/;
last if /^$/;
$headers .= $_ unless $continuation;
}
# dispose of messages which are not multipart/alternative
unless ($boundary) {
exit 0;
}
$boundary =~ s/\W/\\$&/g;
$printing = 0; # we start by discarding the pre-message cuft.
$header = 0; # and we start outside of a header.
open(MAIL, "|forward $ENV{USER}-alternative") or die;
print MAIL $headers;
while(<>) {
last if /^--$boundary--$/;
if (/^--$boundary$/) {
$header = 1;
$printing = 0;
next; # discard boundary
}
$printing = 0 if $header && m!^Content-Type:!i;
$printing = 1 if $header && m!^Content-Type: text/plain;?!i;
$header = 0 if $header and /^$/;
print MAIL if $printing;
}
close MAIL;
exit 99;

Hi,
My question is: Is it possible to use same virtual domain on
two mailservers? When I send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], mail
will come to the first mailserver and when no nobody user exists,
then that mail will be forwarded to next mailserver?
How can I set it up?
Thanks for Your answer.

I have opted to use Maildir format over mbox. The MDA in use is maildrop.
Except for the inbox/spool directory, all the folders that maildrop uses
are mbox format. The folders maildrop uses are in ~/Mail while the incoming
spool is ~/Maildir.
I thought one of the benifits of Maildir, is to have mail in seperate files
for later processing and portability. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Should I have used "makemaildir ~/Mail"? Right now all the mail in each folder
in ~/Mail gets appended.
I would like maildrop to use Maildir format and the folders to have the Maildir
format.

Hello eveyone,
I have a problem and I am not sure where to go to find out the answer so I
will ask here and the oher lists :).
Here is what I have QMAIL is running in /var/qmail and vpopmail is running
in /home/vpopmail and mailman(listmanager) is running in
/domains/domain.com/mailman.
In /home/vpopmail/domains/domain.com I have a .qmail-support that has
|preline /domains/domain.com/mailman/mail/wrapper post support
What happens is everything looks like it delivers OK but I don't get any
error messages or and mail being distributed.
I guess the question I have is where can I see if wrapper post support is
even being run. I know that if I change the .qmail-support to somthing else
like |preline /domains/darstep.com/mailman/mail/wrapper post support I get
an e-mail back saying that command was not found so i guess it is running.
I think it could be a permissions problem. But I can't find any error logs
saying such!
Thanks for any help.
If more info is needed I will supply it just let me know!

Hi
I'm used to sendmail, the the response "We do not relay" when
people use "%...@domain" in the to field. I have tried to
make qmail give some response of the same kind, but I haven't
succeded. Tried the wildmat-0.2-patch, but it was not for version
1.03?
I have installed qmail-1.03-antispam4-b1.diff, but I'm not shure
how to use it, and if it will help me.
Any suggestions?

qmail does not support the percenthack per default.
You have to manually add support for it by creating
/var/qmail/control/percenthack. So no worries.
Or do is your main concern HOW the message is bounced?
Then:
If a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] is getting in, it will
probably be catched by ~alias/.qmail-default (depending how you handle
the mail).
You could do this at one line in that very .qmail-file:
| perl -e 'if ($ENV{DEFAULT} =~ /\%/) { print "We do not relay";exit 100;}
which checks the address and bounces them containing a %.

Neither am I.

The problem is that the SMTP server accepts the message. Most relay
checkers don't bother to see if the mail gets bounced later. They
presume that an accepted message is a relayed message.

I created the file. Is that all? I could not find it documented
anywhere? Is an empty file enough?
I want an email with a "to" address with ".*%.*@.*" to be rejected.

Give us info: for example:
- The mailllog and messages log pertaining to the event of qmail's death.
- Your rc.local entry for starting qmail.
- Is it a 'stock' qmail install, or a patched version?
- 3.3-STABLE is not a RELEASE: are you sure you haven't caught a
snapshot with a bug since fixed?
I have several production qmail server on various versions of
FreeBSD, and don't have problems with it dying mysteriously...
