Are you really getting blank log entries (except for the timestamp)?
Have you created a ~alias/Maildir for bounces, and, if so, is your
message landing there?
What does /var/qmail/users/assign have for "jennifer"?
Have you tried removing users/cdb?

What do you mean? SMTP doesn't really have different delivery
priorities, and qmail is strictly first-come-first-served. If you just
want to add a "Precedence: bulk" field to the header, that's an MUA
job.
-Dave
Why don't you change your 'fullname' to not have those crappy hi-bit ansi
characters?
And what does 'not relay for special sender domain' mean? You want to be an
open relay, but not relay if from one domain? They'd just change their
domain name...
If you want selective relaying, read FAQ 5.4 or install other relaying
methods like smtp-after-pop which has links on the homepage.

Subject: [Q] How to Configure Qmail to be a Selective NON-Relay
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.

Exclude spammers via tcpcontrol and rblsmtp.

That will only block messages that have an envelpe return path
containing @sbsmail.co.kr, which won't necessarily be the case for all
messages from that system.

It means that it connected to 194.1.130.66, but the connection died
before the email was completely transferred. It's possible that the
mail will be duplicated, because as far as qmail's SMTP client is
concerned, it threw the entire message down the socket, including the
SMTP termination sequence, but didn't get any response.

What problem would that solve (I'm not being obstreperous. I just
want to hear you express the problem in words before you start a
premature search for the solution).

Hi, John!
I'm afraid I can't say today if qmail-smtpd was running yesterday or
not. Perhaps there is a log file somewhere that could tell me; I
don't know about that either.
Today, mailing was going well after I renamed my ip-up.local file that
is designed to do the mailing jobs for me being online, and did all
the business by hand, su'ing romulus as root: All the mail was finally
``delivered-to'' [EMAIL PROTECTED]
So, do you or does anyone who reads this know if qmail reports on the
jobs it's doing? And if there's such a report: Where is it stored? In
the TEST.deliver file of the qmail distribution Dan is talking about
syslog. On my system (Red Hat Linux 6.0) syslog seems to be a C
library function, but not a file to question for the purpose of
hunting down problems.

This is something that has been bugging me for quite awhile but never had
the time to deal with it.
Apparently some time ago before I became the email admin for our domain the
address [EMAIL PROTECTED] became a target for many a spammer. Now this
account does not exist and is very doubtful that it ever existed.
What I would like to do is make something to reject any mail for this
"user". This is a corporate email server and I don't have the time nor the
patience to deal with bounces for unknown or full spammer return addresses.
I am sure this has come up before but didn't see a solution on the website
anywhere.
Thanks for any ideas

echo /dev/null > ~alias/.qmail-annie:loul
If cimx.com is a virtual domain you'd have to replace ~alias
with the controlling directory for that domain, of course.
-t
I like the idea but I would rather the mail return sometype of a hard error
so the sender would have to deal with it.
Kind of a punishment to them! (although small and insignificant)

Make the /var/alias/.qmail-annie:loul file contain:
|bouncesaying 'This address no longer accepts mail.'
/dev/null
This will give a bounce message and put the message into the trash bin.

This is quite inefficient. You _are_ having the message delivered right now.
It's just that the place where you deliver it is kinda hungry.
echo '#' > ~alias/.qmail-annie:loul
That's just as effective but takes up far less (read hardly any) resources.

bouncesaying could do that, given that the return address is correct.
Otherwise, I think there's a patch for badmailto, rejecting envelope recipients
at the SMTP level, similar to badmailfrom for envelope senders.

The /dev/null can be replaced by a '#', or even better, removed altogether.
But this solution won't work since the spammers use fake return addresses most
of the time.

I was always wondering where this list is being hosted. "to" is Tongo.
My geography knowledge is kind of getting rusty. Where is Tongo?
Is it one of the new countries on the map?

The physical location of Tongo is a widely-held secret. It hosts a
286 running Xenix and a specially ported version of BIND that serves
top-level domain names ending in ".to".
Almost all of the actual computers that "own" those domain names reside
in places other than Tongo.
Welcome to cyberspace. ;-)
And, yes, my first paragraph is basically just a joke. Look at
www.tonic.to for some idea of what's going on. But it's likely true
that at least 90% of the computers serving .to addresses are not
in Tongo.
NOTE: Some people think the name of the country actually is "Tonga".
It doesn't matter. Only ".to" matters, just as there's no such country
as America or even the USA, just ".com", ".edu", ".gov", etc. Similarly,
the squirrels in my neighborhood now have their own domain -- ".nut".
tq vm, (burley)
OK, but what would I search for in the log to see the addresses that were
rejected?

If you have a standard selective relaying setup, you're not actually rejecting
any connections. tcpserver will accept any connection at all, and either set or
not set RELAYCLIENT, as appropriate.
I suspect what you mean is that you want to log attempts to use your SMTP
server as a relay. That would not be logged by tcpserver, and qmail-smtpd
(which is doing the actual rejecting, of the recipients, not the connection)
doesn't emit any logging information.
To get what you're looking for, you'll need a patch. Here's one (you'll
probably find others at www.qmail.org):

I installed qmail, and am running into problems getting email from
outside. Locally mail delivers okay, and aliases work locally. However I
get errors about name lookup trying to send, even though I have found no
issues with the dns.
The remote machine I'm sending from is able to do an nslookup on each of
the desitations. It also knows wha tthe MX record is supposed to be, so I
am certain the mail is /hitting/ the destination, which tells me qmail is
bouncing it. Though I can't find a log message to that effect.
The actual error is:

Don't ask a question filled with lots of DNS info, and then proceed to disguise
all your domain names. Nobody is going to be able to help you.

These messages aren't coming from qmail.
Try stating your problem more clearly, with real domain names, and maybe
someone will be able to help.

When downloading new mail to a palm pilot only the first 8000 characters are
retrieved... Is there a way (I'm sure there is) to use a .qmail file to
split the message into multiple parts (as well as leaving the original
message intact).
For instance freshmeat's update is always large, can a .qmail file split it
into:
1. Freshmeat Part 1 of 3
2. Freshmeat Part 2 of 3
3. Freshmeat Part 3 of 3
4. Freshmeat -- Full Message
Thanks for any insight,

Just an idea, but how about using the .qmail-whatever file to pipe it to a
shell script. The script could:
1. Save the message to a file.
2. Extract the header (using 822header or like).
3. Extract the body and generate appropriate-sized chunks (with 'split'
or like).
4. Reinject the smaller pieces, each with a (modified) copy of the header
saved in (1) above. You could also save the pieces directly with
'safecat' or procmail or whatever.

AFAIK the maximul message length can be set on the pilot - or in pilot-mail
(or however that program was called - or ar you using the windows

But I can be wrong - didn�t like mail reading on the palm anyway...

Hello,
This is my first posting to the list. If this problem has been
answered recently please
point me to the right message numbers so I can retrieve them. Thanks
My dilemma:
I have 5 domains on one system.
An example of my locals file:
abc.com
def.com
ghi.com
jkl.com
mno.com
My RCPTHOSTS file has these same domains in it.
abc.com
def.com
ghi.com
jkl.com
mno.com
We are using the Linux usernames for our accounts. Everything works
fine. We are not using the
Qmail user/assign file (yet).
As long as we have unique usernames, there isn't a problem. However
we wish to setup
an "info" account for the different domains. e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED],
[EMAIL PROTECTED] etc. We want these
info accounts to go to different mailboxes. We are using the Maildir
format, since this was a
fresh install of our mail system. I have tried a few combinations of
using the VIRTUALDOMAINS
file combined with the user/assign file to get the different "info"
accounts to go to their
respective user mailboxes. I have setup unique user accounts within
the /home directory that
we are using for the user Maildir locations, i.e. /home/abc.info
/home/def.info.
How can I get the same email name working on different local domains?
I really appreciate any assistance you can provide to get me out of
this dead end.

You don't. You make them virtual domains.
If you want some domains to be "mostly" local, i.e. you have only a few
addresses between which you want to distinguish and you want the rest to be
delivered to local accounts, you could have the following:
locals:
abc.com
virtualdomains:
def.com:alias-def
~alias/.qmail-def-info:
&[EMAIL PROTECTED]
~alias/.qmail-def-support:
&[EMAIL PROTECTED]
~alias/.qmail-def-default:
| forward "$DEFAULT"@abc.com
This will deliver mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] to addresses of your
choice, and anything else @def.com to a local account.

Hi all,
Love the show .. Long time lurker, first time poster ..
I'm using qmail-1.03 but injecting via Obtuse smtpd and just
noticed a qmail-inject barfing on a file. I checked it out and it
(well token822_parse) can't parse the following line
To: R:IOT <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
While it's obvious why I'm interested as to whether the above
constitutes a valid To: line or not.
Cheers,
Greg

It's not. According to RFC 822, ":" is a special, which means it has to
be quoted to be used inside a word. That has to be written as:
To: "R:IOT" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Otherwise, it's likely to be parsed as an unterminated address group.

Hello All,
I was wondering if there is any need for something like stunnel when
used in conjunction with qmail + vpopmail for secure transmission of
usernames and passwords for pop3d based stuff...or does it encrypt on it's
own (not that I see from initial install)
-Bill
Is it safe to change control/me to something other than the "real" hostname
of the machine? For instance, say I have 2 machines, romeo and juliet - can
i set control/me to just "mail" on both machines?

>From the qmail-popup man page:
qmail-popup expects descriptor 0 to read from the network
and descriptor 1 to write to the network. It reads a
username and password from descriptor 0 in POP's USER-PASS
style or APOP style. It invokes subprogram, with the same
descriptors 0 and 1; descriptor 2 writing to the network;
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I'm curious as to why this is done.
In particular, stderr output from the subprogram is
being fed back to the client, which is probably
expecting a pop3 +OK/-ERR response, rather than
whatever happens to be sent down stderr at the time.
Wouldn't it be better to leave stderr alone, so that
it could be fed to logger/splogger/multilog?

Hi all.
I have been watching my qmail logs and parallel with logs from other
firewall and noticed that the qmail box is generate a large number of
ident lookups.
Does anyone know what is cause this, and how do I stop it.
Kind Regards

Standard behavior of tcpserver. man tcpserver will tell you how to turn it
off, if it bothers you. But, there are some good reasons not to, because
any ident response gets recorded in the headers, and there are certain
fringe situations where source of abuse can only be determined with the
help of ident data.

Are you running qmail-smtpd from tcpserver? If so,
start tcpserver with the -R flag, which will turn off
ident lookups.

I wanted to run this by some smarter people before wasting too much time
doing this the wrong way.
I want to have mail sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] fowarded to the machine
'faxserver' with the exact same address. The faxserver knows that mail
sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] should be faxed to the ATTN of user at the
phone number <phonenumber>.
Do I need to create an MX record on the local nameserver for this to be at
all reasonably accomplished? I assume this is the best approach; let me
know if there is a better/simpler way to do something like create a
virtual domain with remote delivery.
Lastly, I'd like to block mail from outside of the organization from
reaching the .fax program. Is this appropriate to do from within qmail?
I don't clearly see when such a test would be made. Would it be better
for me to simply perform a procmail test of some kind at the point of
delivery?
Sorry if this is all idiocy, I've been reading quite a bit of the qmail
docs and not really getting handle on it all so far.

put anything.fax:faxserver into your control/smtproutes (and
control/rcpthosts) instead of your control/virtualdomains

your MX for anything.fax should point to your mailserver. Exception:
anything.fax is the DNS-Hostname of this server.

If you use smtproutes, I think it's a job of your faxserver.

Hi all.
I'm trying to get a www interface to my ezmlm archives.
http://www.rivertown.net/cgi-bin/man-cgi?ezmlm-archive+1
This page tells me there is an ezmlm-archive command i can use, however i'm
using ezmlm-idx 0.3.1 and there is no such command?
Apart from writing a script that converts the index file (for each n
directory of the /archive directory) to a html file, can any think of
anything else?

What will ezmlm-idx-.0.40 that will allow me to do this?

Hi,
I'm new to qmail (I just installed it today), and
everything works great except qmail-pop3d. I installed the binaries from
the latest RPMs instead of building the binaries myself.
I'm running RedHat 6.0. When I start
qmail-pop3d (/etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail-pop3d.init start), I get a "Hard error"
message followed by a successful start. I traced it to the dnsfq command,
which seems to give "Hard error" in response to anything entered as a
parameter. Broken? How do I get dnsfq to work without reporting an
error?
After hard-coding my host name to bypass dnsfq,
starting (and stopping) qmail-pop3d worked without complaint. However,
when checking mail, my e-mail client (Outlook Express 5) sits there after
connecting for a very long time before the mail is actually checked. The
mail is checked successfully and everything seems to work fine except for the
very long delay. What could be taking so long?

hi
i know that deleting a mail from the queue is not recommended (i don't
know why though) but i had to delete all the 29 mails waiting to be
transferred (qmail-qstat said there were 29). i ran qmail-clean but had to
hit CTRL+C when there was no responce from it after ca 1min. qmail-qstat
said there were still 29 mails in the queue. i had thought it should have
removed some at least. i killed qmail-send and tried running qmail-clean
again but nth changed.
i read its man page also (qmail's man pages are pretty explanatory and
informative generally) but couldn't see any info i needed. errm, what does
qmail-clean do? if it does not remove the mails in the queue why does it
exist (i don't aim to be rude with this question, don't misunderstand
pls)? or should i rgrep the ~queue directory for the mails to be removed
and delete them manually?
thank you...
love and peace etc,

Because qmail-send maintains its own information
about the contents of the queue, independent of what
is on disk. If the two get out of sync, qmail-send
will not be happy.

qmail-clean is used internally be qmail-send.
If you really need to delete messages from the queue,
kill qmail-send. When it's exited, look through
the output of qmail-qread for the message numbers
you want. Then delete everything corresponding to
those message numbers:
{local,remote,info,mess}/<msgnum%23>/<msgnum>
qmail-qread will not tell you about stuff in todo/
