Put the following in virtualdomains:
foo.bar.com:alias-foo
then, in ~alias/.qmail-foo, put:
|forward "$[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

wizoffice.com.sg:alias-wizoffice.com.sg
cat ~alias/.qmail-wizoffice.com.sg-default
|forward "$[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I'm developing a filtering script to decide if a (valid) mail should be
accepted by qmail or not. It takes its decision mainly based on the
number of RCPTs (but it could consider other info too).
My questions are:
*) How can I integrate this script whit qmail? I'm thinking in making
the script a wrapper of an element of qmail
*) Where is the best point to place the filter: before qmail-queue,
before qmail-send?
Thanks

Like the drunk at the bus stop said about his "revelation from God":
The world would be a lot better if people weren't such pricks.
I'm *not* saying you're all pricks, but being nice doesn't cost anyone

Rarely. But, just as you took it upon yourself to tell others, who were
complaining about the guy posting off-topic material to the list, that
*they* were misbehaving, *they* were telling *him* that *he* was misbehaving.
Yes, some of them were too "rude". But he (and others) can delete and
ignore such mail just as easily as they're expected to do so for mail
from people asking "how can I get off this list".
In a large meeting-room full of earnest people, quietly discussing issues
they consider quite important, it would be considered *very* rude if
someone started repeatedly yelling "I CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO OPERATE THESE
EXIT DOORS SO I CAN LEAVE THE ROOM" because they weren't reading whatever
instructions were available.
Such an individual should, instead, look for one or two particularly
knowledgeable people and quietly ask them for assistance, after having
exhausted the "read the instructions" phase of problem-solving.
In such a case, people in the meeting-room yelling back "STOP ALL THAT
YELLING YOU IDIOT" also would be considered rude, but to some people they'd
at least have some hope of preventing *others* from thinking the meeting
is "fair game" for *any* issue somebody wants to yell about.
Fortunately, off-topic email is easier to ignore than off-topic yelling
in a meeting-room.
However, one of the ways people handle off-topic email is to leave the
forum where it's being permitted. (I've done so several times.) Once
it becomes clear that many participants prefer to yell at people for
*complaining* about off-topic mail or other rude behavior over (politely)
indicating that off-topic mail and rude behavior are not welcome, people
who might have been substantial contributors to the forum often decide
on their own to leave.
After all, that, too, is easier to do in email than leaving a meeting-room,
especially one joined by virtue of a substantial investment in the room,
a hotel, travel, etc.
And once enough *contributors* leave a meeting-room or email forum, it
loses its value.
In short, it's become fashionable in some societies (e.g. the USA) to
vociferously complain about "intolerance" and other such behaviors
while studiously ignoring the society-eroding activities that trigger
such behaviors in others. That fashion has had at least one general effect:
of causing many to no longer risk telling others when they *are*
behaving badly, lest they be upbraided for daring to "judge".
So I don't disagree with you that some of the responses here were rude.
But they were in response to some pretty rude behavior (although, I think
the originator did make a good attempt to redeem himself by posting
useful info on what he found to be the problem, and probably learned
his lesson -- not just how to unsubscribe -- anyway).
tq vm, (burley)
Fair comment.
However, would it not be an idea to remove Chris from being a recipient on this
thread.
After all, that's what all the fuss was about to begin with :)
Si
Hrmm, that's a fairly lengthy response my qmail compatriot. Recently I have
seen a lot of these "get me off the list" or "help me because I say so" kind
of messages and quite frankly my fuse ran out so I felt it necessary to say
something perhaps to make myself feel better :) Forgive me, but you must
admit it is becoming a problem!

I think there is also a problem with people not being able to properly handle
their email client and keeping all the 65 quoted lines of a mail, we've
all read just 10 seconds ago.
Can we please stop this thread now?

Hi
I've checked the quota situation since quotas are assigned to most users
but this user is exempt & I just copied a 3 MB file into his directory
locally.

I know it was being discussed (briefly), but I do not recall a resolution
being made.
How can we get Amavis running under QMail? I want to screen these incoming
messages for Virii, and I do not believe we reached a consensus on how to do
it.
Anyone else running Amavis?

I have a list of things I want from an MTA. Today, as I see it,
none will do all I want, so I have to compromise.
My question is about the qmail filtering capabilities, I think
I'm up to date on the rest.
What I would want as an MTA would be
- simple configuration for simple cases (I like qmail
configuration).
Qmail is obviously OK there AFAIAC.
- user-controllable aliases, like in qmail, but optionally in
procmail format (I think there's a patch somewhere that makes
qmail do that, but I'm not sure)
I believe Qmail is OK there.
- sendmail-style and qmail-style remote delivery, choice
triggered by admin configuration, message size, number of
recipients, or maybe even user invocation style. Failing
that, "normal" bandwith-conservative delivery.
Will qmail one day support emitting multiple-RCPT mails? Just
sorting per domain would be nice, no need to do MX lookups ...
- per-domain, per-user, and per-alias incoming mail filtering on
remote IP, MAIL FROM, RCPT TO, which would reject before DATA
(hmmm... size and things like that in an ESMTP session would
probably be good too, though I wouldn't have the use for it
myself)
Are there patches for qmail to do this? Emphasis on per-user
and per-alias ...
- per-domain, per-user, and per-alias incoming mail filtering on
message DATA, which would reject after the <CRLF>.<CRLF> (Does
this happen often enough for one to be able to expect X.Random
MTA to handle it correctly? There might be a problem in that
the only permitted error codes are for transaction error and
storage exceeded, but well. I can uphold that storage space on
my system is 0 for spam :-)) If multiple RCPT, then reject
after DATA if all the RCPTs reject in the same way!
Are there patches for qmail to do this? Emphasis on per-user
and per-alias ...
Are ther other mail servers out there which would do what I
want?
In fact, for incoming mail, I would be happy with:
a frontend which takes the HELO and MAIL FROM, sets them in
environment variables along with originating IP, and for each
RCPT TO opens a pipe to the delivery command. Said delivery
command should exit without opening stdin if the origination
info is not to its liking, putting the reason on stdout.
I realize that there are potentially a lot of problems with
implementing this exactly as stated, that's not what I want.
For example, loops between two servers using this would be
really devastating ... I can think of workarounds to most of the
problems I can think of, though.
But I really want something that acts like this. User config
files that can filter and deny during the original SMTP session,
it would be just marvelous. A dream? A pipe dream?
Anyone been thinking of this in qmail? Anyone been thinking of
this anywhere else?

I have an old patch for Qmail 1.03 that does exactly that, however I will
not be updating it for any future revisions of Qmail. If you'd like to,
you're welcome to take over its maintenance and support, contact me off
the list.

<sigh> Except for the HELO part (which I never considered to be any worth
filtering on), I'm really having a lot of deja-vu here, with flashbacks
going back to 1997...

Hi!
I have a strange problem.
I am piping so of my mails through a script which does some stuff on the
mails and then safecats the mails into a maildir.
This is how the .qmail-file looks like.
| /usr/local/bin/myScript.pl
Problem is now that I am missing the Delivered-To line, qmail normally
adds. Why? For success, my script returns 0 and for failure 100.
Not using my script and having qmail-local deliver the mail to a maildir
itself works nicely of course.
Thanks,
Markus Wuebben

You can add it yourself by prepending $ENV{'DTLINE'} to the safecat input.

Because you're delivering to a pipe, not a mailbox. (See "man
qmail-command"). Try doing:

The pattern matching didn't work with the quotes around it so I removed
those, I also took care of bangpaths (!) and route-addresses (whatever those
may be but somebody hinted me to those). This is what I'm using now:
|case "$LOCAL" in *[%\"@\!:\;]*) bouncesaying 'You are evil. Get Lost(tm).' ;; *)
|forward "$LOCAL"@haarlem-2000.vuurwerk.nl ;; esac
(Yes that is a long line and yes it's not very decent of me to post in
long lines but I know so don't flame :)

Here's what I use:

echo "percent hack relaying not allowed"; exit 100; fi
|if echo $LOCAL |grep -q "!" ; then \
echo "bang path relaying not allowed"; exit 100; fi

Hi.
I am a newbie of Mail world. I am trying to install Qmail on my Red Hat
box. I installed qmail and can telnet localhost 25 and everything looks
fine.
But when I try to connect from other host.
$telnet myhost 25
trying 24.12.XX.XX...
It just hangs there. I can't figure out what's wrong. I don't have special
settings of TCP Wrapper.
Thanks.
Ning
Can you reach your Linux host on any other port? If you have access to tools
such as traceroute or ping, try these and see if you can reach your mail host
from the external host. Also try the reverse, e.g. try reaching the external
host from inside the mail host.

All the other ports work normally. FTP, Telnet, etc
Here is my /etc/inetd.conf

You're probably behind a firewall that block port 25. Check with your
network managers.

I think the theory is that (by rejecting mail with unresolvable names)
spammers will be forced to use real domains and the domains belonging
to spammers can be blocked, and spammers that use other people's domains
can get sued.
While there have been some successful suits, using domains belonging to
others is still popular.
Another problem is that some places have started blocking messages with
empty envelope sender addresses, because some spammers use them to get
past the domain blocking.

Yeah, but one must be really a stupid sysadmin to do this.
Bounce messages have empty envelope sender addresses and with blocking
bounce messages the senders will never know that they had e.g. a typo
in the recipients address and that the email never reached its
destination.

Because there's a bug in the way the determination of "primary MX"
is made. I have not looked at the source code of how the determination
is made.
$ dig mx umkc.edu

I suppose that now someone is going to try and tell me that 200 < 5 ?

Hmm. having readjusted the dns to serve a name instead of a number
on a test domain, it does not appear to bounce. I am not
removing my smtproutes entries, to reduce dns load, and to prevent
messages getting forwarded around between multiple secondaries.
I would like to see qmail-remote.c adjusted to account for this
particular flavor of misconfiguration, which is clear enough to
enough MTAs to cause the machine at nnn.nn.nn.nnn to receive
plenty of e-mails, yet which causes qmail-remote.c to mistakenly
determine that the local machine is the best-choice server for
a domain, in release 2.0.
Peter Gradwell wrote:
> [1] Which is why, if your mail server is the best MX preference host
How does qmail make this determination? Does it get the preference
fields from the dns and choose the lowest one, or does it rely on
a system call? qmail-remote.c refers to subroutined defined in dns.c,
but the comments are sparse
I'm a newbie @ compiling and don't know where to begin fixing this.
I'm not even sure this is the correct list to post to, apologies if not!
Any help greatly appreciated!

Hi List!
I have configured something incorrectly. I just can't figure out where.
I tried to test my installation by sending a message locally and it did
not work.
In var/log/qmail/smtpd/current I get the following repeating error:
biglongnumber tcpserver: fatal: unable to figure out IP address for 2108
What I can figure out is that the number 2108 is the nofiles GID.
The qmail-related entries in /etc/group is:
qmail:x:2107:
nofiles:x:2108:
and in /etc/passwd:
alias :x:7790:2108::/var/qmail/alias:/bin/true
qmaild :x:7791:2108::/var/qmail:/bin/true
qmaill :x:7792:2108::/var/qmail:/bin/true
qmailp :x:7793:2108::/var/qmail:/bin/true
qmailq :x:7794:2107::/var/qmail:/bin/true
qmailr :x:7794:2107::/var/qmail:/bin/true
qmails :x:7794:2107::/var/qmail:/bin/true
Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening?
Thank you so much for your time.

Look at the line you use to invoke tcpserver. You probably missed the -g
before the 2108. If not, post the line you used.

I have just put release 10 of the above SRPM onto my web site at:

It fixes this syntax error along with adding integration with the new

Hello fellow qmail users,
I'm new to qmail and need a bit of help, i have access to a system

for mydomain.com. does anyone have a set of step by step(e.g.
1,2,3,4...) command list to do this, i'm ok with technical stuff but i
prefer non technical/jargon help.
the users i'm trying to create are joe1 and joe2.
Please, Please Help and thanks for any help in advance.
Best regards,

I need to build a server that receives all email for a domain and forwards it all
to another mail server.
If I put:
relay_me.com:relay_server.some_other_domain.com
in smtproutes, is that all I need ? I need to receive all mail destined for
relay_me.com and just foward it along...

That should do it.
Don't forget to add "relay_me.com" to your rcpthosts file.
If you also want "host.relay_me.com" handled add
.relay_me.com:relay_server.some_other_domain.com to smtproutes and
.relay_me.com to rcpthosts, too

Hi there,
qmail complains :
delivery 805: deferral: Connected_to_202.54.1.230_but_connection_died._(#4.4.2)/
But when i try to connect there via telnet on port 25, everything works fine ..
What can i do ?
Sometimes, qmail says :
deferral: Sorry,_I_wasn't_able_to_establish_an_SMTP_connection._(#4.4.1)/
But telnetting on port 25 works (from the same machine) ... i don't know what this
could be.
Thanks for your help !
