wow, there are so many messages in queue.
probably:
#1. you've just injected thousands of messages, OR
#2. the server cannot deliver the messages to the destinations.
you may want to look at your qmail log to see what happen with the
messages. are many of them rejected ? time outs ? if #2 is your problem,
what are the destinations ? what are the sources ?
what is your control/concurrencuremote ? control/concurrencylocal ?

some that my work:
- increase control/concurrencyremote (max number depends especially on
amount of RAM)
- check your internet link
- decrease control/queuelifetime

What does '/var/qmail/queue/lock/trigger' look like?
Should look like this:
prw--w--w- 1 qmails qmail 0 Nov 29 17:29 trigger
Boy this is an often occurring problem....

For any of qmail's control files "man qmail-control" is your friend.
It'll tell you which control file gets read by which program.
> I want an email with a "to" address with ".*%.*@.*" to be rejected.
So if someone has an address which happens to have a "%" in it (which is
completely legal in the local part) you want to refuse delivery? Or only
for local deliveries? The reason that the control file is called
percenthack, is that it's not a standard, it's just a kludge to ask a
particular host to relay to somewhere else, originally as a gateway to
some other mail system. If that host doesn't know about the expected
meaning of the percent hack, it will attempt to deliver it locally.
The "problem" is as Russ has said that certain (all, that I've seen)
relay-checking code assumes that acceptance of the percent-hacked address
implies that the host will relay. As qmail accepts (almost) everything
and checks it later, the bounce refusing to relay is generated later.

qmail-smtpd.c. Look at badmailfrom implementation. Your hack is a
simpler version. All you do is check if '%' is in the recpient address.

Actually, since .qmail is your mailbox, after you receive the first message, it
is treated as delivery instructions for all subsequent messages. The error is
actually saying that each line of your first message is not a valid address.
.qmail is for delivery instructions only. Try delivering to $HOME/Mailbox

Hi all:
Today I tried to recompile qmail-smtpd to make it recognize the ETRN
command, following Anand Buddhdev's mail to this list from last june
(BTW: thanks for your clarification about setlock). I already have
serialmail and AutoTURN set up, and this change was just so that
qmail-smtpd didn't answer an "Unimplemented" to the clients that sent an
ETRN command.
The patch that Anand proposed in his mail was, from what I can see,
trivial:
-Add an ", { "etrn", smtp_etrn, flush }" line to the "smtpcommands
part.
-Add a smtp_etrn function, that just returns "250 ok".
-Add "ETRN" to the line that advertises the capabilities of the server.
I'm adding the diff below, at the end of the mail. Even for a complete
C ignorant like me, it should be obvious that the above mentiond changes
are trivial. Right? Well, I compile it, substitute for old binary
(stopping qmail-smtpd first, of course)... and all hell breaks loose.
A few minutes later, my coworkers tell me that they can't send mail
using Netscape, which gives a "Protocol error" or some other similarly
unhelpful message. Outlook Express, Eudora and manually telnetting to
port 25 can send mail fine. We also check that the sendmail server of
one of our customers, which receives mail for another domain, can't send
mail to our server, leaving an error message that says: "SMTP DATA-1
protocol error: 250 ok".
Since the mail server is in production and we're on office hours, we
can't really experiment too much, so I copy over the old qmail-smtpd
binary. Then, minutes later, I try to recompile the patched
qmail-smtpd.c again, taking extra care this time to delete all the
object files that existed from the last compilation (I think I deleted
them the first time, but just in case...). The result is exactly the
same.
Now the question: why does this happen? Not that it's a life or death
matter, since AutoTURN is working anyway, but I just can't understand
how such a trivial patch can cause these problems. Maybe one of the "250
ok" messages in the source has a newline or return carriage missing (or
has an extra one), but I just checked, and all the ones added by the
patch end in "\r\n", so...
(I'm using Linux 2.0.34 with GCC 2.7.2. I used the same environment to
compile the qmail 1.03 that we use and didn't have any problems).
Oh, yes, the diff between the modified qmail-smtpd.c and the original
one:
74,77d73
< void smtp_etrn()
< {
< out("250 ok\r\n");
< }
236,237c232

This line is the problem. It should read:
out("\r\n250-PIPELINING\r\n250-8BITMIME\r\n250 ETRN\r\n");
^ Must be a '-' not a ' '. :)

The above line is wrong. There should be a dash '-' between
250 and 8BITMIME. With a multiline response, all but the
last numeric code must be followed by a dash, to indicate
continuation of the response. I don't know whether it was my
mistake when posting the patch, but if it was, I apologise.
Change that, and you'll be fine.

I've been using it for ages. I followed the sslwrap documentation to create the
certificates and whatnot, and here's the script I use to start it up:
#!/bin/sh
exec tcpserver -RH -c10 -u444 -g444 0 spop3 /usr/local/libexec/sslwrap \
-cert /usr/local/openssl/certs/server.pem -port 110
UID and GID 444 belong to an unprivileged user and group I created; there's no
reason to run it with root privileges.
I have qmail-popup/qmail-pop3d running in the conventional way on port 110.
Chris
The problem in this approach is that you make a new connection to localhost.
This messes up things like
serialmail... and the -exec option doesn't accept options for the program,
unless you hack up the source.
I've heard about stunnel as well. Which of the two packages is the favorite?

Hi, folks!
Today some trouble arose when I tried to get my mail from my Mail SP:
fetchmail did its job as it has been doing it for weeks -- until all
of a sudden I read the following lines on the screen:
smtp connection to localhost failed.
exit status=0
query status=10
Perhaps some further info could help fixing the problem:
My fetchmail version: 5.0.0 My qmail version: 1.03
The contents of my .fetchmail file:
poll mail.arcor-ip.de proto pop3 user r.matthiaslampert with pass
********** forcecr keep
Maybe the command line fetchmail is called with could be helpful, too:
fetchmail --smtpaddress homeoftux.netofrome.de -v
The --smtpaddress part is needed for qmail to accept mail that is
actually delivered for 'localhost'.
If you need the contents of my control/alias files for qmail, here you
have it!
virtualdomains:
:alias-ppp
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:alias-arcormail
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:alias-arcormail
rctphosts:
homeoftux.netofrome.de
~alias/.qmail-arcormail-romulus:
&[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Something must be wrong here, and I don't even know whether this is a
qmail question at all -- I already expect some flames for bothering
the qmail mailing list with fetchmail questions.
I know Dan Bernstein is not a fetchmail enthusiast at all, but he
hasn't provided or at least mentioned any satisfactory alternatives to
it -- yet.
Could you?

Matthias Lampert, Hamburg
Yup.. But what you need to do is:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:tony
and in your directory have: .qmail-root
with a single line: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Now, qmail does not deliver any mail to root. Qmail will deliver any mail for
root via what's specified in the .qmail-root file located in the aliases
directory in your qmail directory.
There is also an ability to have a .qmail-postmaster file which works as a
catch all for localhost.

I've set up qmail on an OpenBSD 2.5/i386 box. Most of the tests
in TEST.deliver and TEST.receive work fine, but I can't get the
box to receive mail externally. Here's the error message:
----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
----- Transcript of session follows -----
procmail: Denying special privileges for
"/www/home/xxxx.com/.info/procmailrc"
procmail: Couldn't read
"/www/home/xxxx.com/.info/procmailrc"
550 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... Can't create output
I can send mail to the 'bruce' account by telnetting to
the SMTP port on the box as described in the test documents, so
I would expect an external mail message to work as well.
I'm curious about these messages from procmail; I used
/var/qmail/boot/home as my /var/qmail/rc, not boot/proc, and I
don't understand why someone is looking for files under /www,
which is not a directory on my box. (it is an http server, though)
How do I begin to debug this?
Thanks for any help,
- Bruce

su jennifer
maildirmake ./Maildir
Under aliases, I have the the following files and they all contain the
one word, jennifer:
.qmail-root
.qmail-postmaster
.qmail-mailer-daemon
So, I start qmail:
qmail start
and check /var/log/qmail/current
and I get a status line - no errors there.
So I try to send an empty message to the user jennifer:
echo to: jennifer | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject
There is no mail in /home/jennifer/Maildir/new
and
tail /var/log/qmail/current
gives:
longnumberhere info msg 442894: bytes 1913 from <#@[]> qp 5516 uid 501

Hi,
I keep getting bounces on a virtual domain.

It is listed in control/locals:
chandra025.circle.net
dealmac.com
dealnews.com
deal-mac.com
deal-pc.com
dealpc.com
dealchat.com
Can someone help?

Hmm this may sound silly, but did you add that host to locals and not
restart qmail?

Make sure you send qmail-send a SIGHUP signal (eg: kill -HUP pid)
in order to make it reread the file.
Also, if it's a virtual domain, you probably want it in
control/virtualdomains and not control/locals.

I'm using Peter Samuel's qmail vacation program and a user complained because
she got a bounce when it tried to tell a spammer that she was on vacation.
Would it be a bad thing for vacation to set the envelope sender to something
non-replyable like the mailer-daemon does?

A vacation message is effectively a bounce message; you don't want to
know about it being delivered or not, period. I suggest therefore
that the envelope sender should be empty.
Dan Bernstein's discussion of mail loops talks about autoresponders
and classifies them as bouncers which *should* use an empty envelope
sender:

Hi,
I have this line in .qmail-default file:
| [ "$HOST" = "domain.sk" ] && exit 100 || exit 0
which returns a "hard error" message to the sender, if host domain
is "domain.sk". What I need is put to that message exact reason
of undelivery (e.g. "User uknown"). How can I do that?
This is the perfect use for the bouncesaying command.
You could replace 'exit 100' with 'bouncesaying "Sorry I'm not going to
send this message"'
This will give a "hard error" and the informative error message that
you have passed as an argument to bouncesaying.

How can I set delivery priority to high or normal? Is this something
done by MTA,MDA or MUA? I am thinking it is by MUA, but in my case, Mutt does
not have anything to do with setting the priority to mail.
Any pointers appreciated.

Hi~
I use qmail-1.03 + mysql at RedHat 6.0 for free mail service.
I set control/rcpthosts as empty so my mailserver is open relay.
I want selectively not relay for special sender domain to prevent spam mail.
How can I configure qmail to be a selective non-relay?
I already set control/badmailfrom as following :
@sbsmail.co.kr
but It seems not work.
thank you.
OK, I am using tcpserver to do selective relaying. Is logging done of the
connections that are rejected? If so, how do I find them. Is there
something I can grep my log file for? For reference, here's my startup
line:
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -v -c 80 -u 80 -g 80 0 smtp
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1 | /var/qmail/bin/splogger smtpd 3 &
Also, is there any documentation on splogger? I haven't been able to find
any.

All connections are logged by tcpserver. Before, mine was in /var/adm or
/var/log. If you want to have the logs for tcpserver on a separate file,
install daemontools. (Forgot the URL for this but you can find it in qmail's
homepage.)
Then replace "/var/qmail/bin/splogger smtpd" in your startup script with
/path/to/multilog t /var/log/smtpd. BTW, you must first create the
/var/log/smtpd dir. Restart your tcpserver and then check if the logs go to
/var/log/smtpd.
Hope this helps.

I am struggling with maildrop here. It doesn't seem to like me much :-)
Since I did not find _any_ decent manual for it, read through all the darn
useless README files, etc. I see no solution but to play with it till it
works or doesn't. Anyways I am trying to get it invoked from .qmail of a
user called postman of group users.
.qmail
| preline maildrop
does nothing good, neither does
| maildrop
and may other combinations I have tried. I've attempted to force it to read
the .mailfilter file... no results.
Can someone tell me how to use this beast? Someone suggested tweaking
/var/qmail/rc but what exactly?
Just a fine example of an undocumented product. Or human ignorance [which is
also considered a bliss].
