I imagine y'all get pretty sick of hearing about relay problems... ;-)
I am running a qmail-Memphis installation on Mandrake 6.1. When
attempting to relay mail out, I'm getting the standard 'domain not in my
list of allowed rcpthosts' error.
Here's the vital info:
My /etc/tcprules.d/qmail-smtpd file contains the following:
205.218.58.194:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
127.0.0.1:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
208.134.228.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
208.178.56.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
<snip>
I won't bother hiding the IPs as this is readily available information...
The box I am attempting to send mail from is the first on the list. The
qmail box is on the 208.134.228. subdomain. I compiled the cdb file
thusly:
tcprules qmail-smtpd.cdb qmail-smtpd.tmp < qmail-smtpd
And the standard init scripts from the memphis RPM initialized tcpserver
like this:
tcpserver -v -c40 -x /etc/tcprules.d/qmail-smtpd.cdb -u102 -g546 0 smtp
qmail-smtpd
That is the correct path to qmail-smtpd.cdb. I'm not sure even where to
begin troubleshooting this, as everything seems to be 'by the book', or at
least it would if there WAS a book...
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
Ben

Try taking out that space between the '-x' and the rules file name.
I know it sounds odd, but it might solve your problem. The man page
for tcpserver seems to indicate that spaces arenot allowed.

Actually, the space shouldn't matter. The only reason I know this is
because I found a clever little perl script in the qmail archive that
tests tcpserver to make sure it is actually setting RELAYCLIENT correctly.
It leaves a space betwixt the -x and the rules directory yet sets
RELAYCLIENT appropriately.
Despite that fact, I will attempt it without the space. Primarily because
I don't have any better ideas...
Thanks,

OK, here's an interesting one. Standard Maildir, NFS, a mail sent to
the user appears instantly in "new" and looks complete and intact
sitting in the Maildir/new folder - permissions on trigger are in
order. No delivery problems indicated. Telnet to POP port and it
fails to retrieve it. They're showing up later than sent even though
delivery to the server is done on time. Is there an issue perhaps
with NFS and the QmailPOP daemon? Perhaps unrelated problem, sometime
messages are transferred successfully to "cur" but not retrieved by
POP despite correct permissions...

See if the clocks of the machine that is delivering the
e-mails and of the machine that is serving as the POP server
are in synch. If they are not, then fix this and see if the
POP daemon sees the new messages as soon as they get in the
Maildir.
If both machines are the same or if their clocks are in synch,
then we might have something strange here.

I've never had this problem. Are you using a patched version
of qmail?

Two years ago, the company I used to work for was using Qmail as its mail
daemon. It then made the not-so-intelligent switch to M$ Exchange and,
well, things just started to fall apart from there. :)
At any rate, now I have broken away and am running my own web development
and internet applications development firm, and on my Linux server (Redhat
6.1) I'm running Qmail.
Well, I don't want my first post to this list to request help for a problem,
but I can't seem to get AMaViS to scan mail properly. Maybe I just don't
get it, but the FINE manual doesn't explain real well how to integrate with
Qmail, and I haven't the foggiest idea what I should do from here. I
remember hearing a while back that someone on this very list wrote a patch
for Qmail (1.03) to get it to work right -- well, I'd be real interested in
seeing that patch.
Thanks in advance for your help, folks!

Before & after installing qmail, which I believe I've done successfully, I
cannot telnet to port 25 to test the installation. I can however send mail
as root to external addresses. I'm trying to use fetchmail to suck down my
mail from my ISP.
I've included the stuff below to show that I have installed qmail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I'm almost there, just give me a
nudge :-) I wouldn't know how to troubleshoot this particular issue. I've
read through the FAQ and INSTALL.* docs and have'nt seen a pointer to my
specific issue.
Thank you!

Have you done a port scan to see if anyone is home? Sounds like
nobody is accepting on that socket.

Not if you are running RH Linux, which is what I know.
Look at the "Living With qmail" document (The best guide to getting
qmail up); it explains how to make the qmail script in
/etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail, and make links to it; i.e.
/etc/rc.d/rc3.s/S80qmail to start it, and
/etc/rc.d/rc6.d/K30qmail to kill it.
I suspect you are trying to start qmail WAY too early in the boot process.

Could you please cat your /etc/hosts.* files? ;)

I hope to be converting a large mail server currently using sendmail and
virtmail to qmail w/ vpopmail. Has anyone put together any documentation
on the function of vconvert? By taking a quick scan through the source I
was able to figure out the correct switches to make it convert from an
/etc/passwd authentication scheme to it's normal cdb scheme...
What I need to figure out is a way to help it sort the vpop accounts into
the appropriate domains. As I understand it's function now, it just picks
a virtual domain and dumps all of the /etc/passwd accounts into it. Is
that an accurate assessment?
Any suggestions?

Why are you using dnsfq? Just hard code your FQDN into your start
script.
Reasonable advice. It is useful to have dnsfq there though: my
startup script works only if your DNS entries are fine. In his case:
nslookup spigot.nbs-inc.com
Server: dns1.memphis.edu
Address: 141.225.253.21
*** dns1.memphis.edu can't find spigot.nbs-inc.com: Non-existent host/domain
This is reasonable if he is behind a firewall.

If something's wrong with my DNS, I'm not aware of what exactly it is.
"Hard error" doesn't give any clues. Is there source to
dnsfq?
You usually get hard error if the host does not have a ptr record. In
your case, there is not even an A record.
In any case, the source for dnsfq is in the qmail tarball.
Mate
Dear all !
Can I install qmail in any other directory except /var/qmail ? If so, then
do I have to edit all the files ?? What should I do ??
Another is can I run qmail with control files in any other directory except
/var/qmail/control.
I cannot do anything to my current /var/qmail. and I want to run only
qmail-inject with smtproute in other directory except the default.
Please guide me on what to do ??
Any links, references, RTFMS, spams will be highly appretiated.
Thanks in advance !
Shashi
I asked this question before and got a good answer. Dig thru the archive.
Short answer -- you can but you should not.

Hi,
I installed qmail like it was explained in INSTALL and INSTALL.vsm and I
copied the proc file in /var/qmail/rc but when I test it out, like it's
written in TEST.deliver , it says:
bash-2.03$ echo to: fou | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject
qmail-inject: fatal: qq trouble creating files in queue (#4.3.0)
bash-2.03$
What might be the problem?
