We have the same problem here. Except that we use the same perl script for
multiple domains, so the From: line changes. The only ones that seem to
get the local domain tacked on are domains of 3 letters. This holds true
for .co.uk domains as well (ie xxx.co.uk.)
If anyone can come up with a reason, I'd love to hear it.

Nope. See RFC1047 ("Duplicate messages and SMTP.") Also see the
quoted message from this very list over a year ago, and my response to
it.

You're trying to argue against the end-to-end principle. You're

ARRGGGGHHHHH!!! That's the same SMTP protocol bug that I spoke about
in the message quoted below. There is NO WAY to fix it on the
sender's side. It can only be fixed on the recipient's side. I use
the less paranoid version and as far as I can tell, have never lost
any real mail due to it. I've lost repeated test emails of the form:
(echo test|mailsubj test nelson), but never any real mail. Test mail
I can look up in the log file -- yes, their deletion is logged.
Code is at <http://www.qmail.org/eliminate-dups>. I highly recommend
its use.

Please don't praise sendmail's multiple recipients delivery. It's a
gross hack that serves only to disguise the problem. It's like
painting rotten wood. Sendmail doesn't deal with:
o The same message posted to two lists expanded by different machines,
o Replies sent to the list and the author, such as this one.
o Messages duplicated by a flaw in the SMTP protocol, explained below.
The SMTP protocol has a problem in it. Any reliable protocol has some
kind of serial number to prevent retransmissions from becoming
duplications if the final ack is lost. "Duplications", eh? Sounds
familiar? Well, RFC821 is silent on the issue. And there's a finite
chance for any piece of email to be duplicated. The "ack" is the 250
Ok response to terminating the DATA portion of the mail with
crlf.crlf. If a sender terminates the mail but doesn't receive the
ack, it has no choice but to retransmit the mail.
The solution is unfortunately complex. Because mail can arrive out of
order, and can be removed from the mailbox before the duplicate
arrives, the MTA needs to keep track of and delete duplicate messages.
The MTA needs to keep a small database of messages that have been
received recently.
Dan has refused to provide a fix for this problem, saying that
deleting duplicates is the job of the MUA. I disagree, because the
protocol failure is at the MTA level.
How might such a protocol fix be implemented? The simplest solution I
can see is to keep two files of message hashes, in addition to the
mailbox. If the incoming message's hash appears in either file,
delete it. Otherwise add it to the newer file and deliver the mail.
Periodically, when the older file is "too old", move the new to the
old and create a new.
The message hashes could be constructed two ways. One, by ignoring
only the most recently generated Received: lines. Or two, by
considering only the Message-ID: line and the body of the message.
The first is more paranoid, and only deletes actual SMTP protocol
failures. The second is less paranoid and deletes the other two types
of duplicates discussed above. There are reasons to select either
type.

If sendmail removes dupes on the sending side, there's no way the
receiver can recreate them.

Russ, that was a slightly different issue. There, Qmail has *received* a
positive confirmation that the message has been received, with a 2xx DATA
ack, but the subsequent QUIT failed and Qmail reported a delivery failure.
That's an outright bug, and has nothing to do with the potential dup when
the acknowledgement itself is lost.

If duplicates are that much of a problem, use something like "formail"
from the procmail package (or the moral equivalent from the maildrop
package) to weed them out by checking the Message-ID.

Hi everybody!
My name is
Marvel Carvalho.
I work in a company called Portway. We
developed systems to HandHeld and Palm platform , and also Sales Administration
Systems to Intel platform - with Delphi and Oracle.
I'm
interested in setting up a Linux station in our net NT.
We want it working as
a PROXI server, FTP Server, internal e-mail Server.
I need to
learn how to do all of these things. I know that it can take many time. Which is
the best way to learn it? Courses / Books / what else????
I'll appreciate your opinion very much...
I'm looking
forward to hearing from you.

Marvel,
I would recommend getting Red-Hat Linux if you are new to Linux/UNIX.
>From the applications side, you want to get Apache (www.apache.org) for
the proxy web server, WU-FTPd (www.landfield.com/wu-ftpd) for the FTP
server and qmail (www.qmail.org) for the mail server.
This is what most sites will use. Each of these has relevant mailing
lists, newsgroups, FAQ's, etc.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Del.

Sure you can. Set up two qmail installations on the system: one for
unapproved mail, another for approved mail. Have the "unapproved"
qmail listen to port 25, handle qmail-inject/sendmail, and stuff all
incoming mail into one or more maildirs. Write an "approve" script
that scans the unapproved mail, and, if approved, re-inject to the
"approved" qmail.
Details are left as an exercise for the reader or a paid consultant.

Sam, you answered one question wrong, and volunteered answers to three
unasked questions. Personally, I don't think that's helpful.

From the install document:
4. Read INSTALL.ctl and FAQ. Minimal survival command:
# ./config

Sure. But that would only help you receive mail for my domain.

This script automates some task to also could be done manually
(e.g. Shutting down smtp-services, reloading of new configurations
and so on). It is not only a startup-script, it could help you in your
daily life. Supervise is a tool that will monitor the status of selected
services (POP3 or SMTP) and could restart a service if it
dies/crashes. Very helpful in mission critical application or servers
with huge load.

Hello Marvel-
The best way to learn Linux is to get a computer and a Linux CD and
install it, play with it, and read the documentation on the CD and on
the internet. There are many good Linux distributions, but I am most
familiar with and recommend RedHat. It is easy to install and has
good documentation.
http://www.redhat.com
You can download Linux for free, but it is difficult for a beginner.
You can buy $2 CDs of most popular Linux distributions from Linux
Mall:
http://www.linuxmall.com
Each of these sites below contains much documentation.
For ftp, there are two popular servers: wu-ftpd is more popular, and
proftpd is newer and more flexible. (wu-ftpd comes with RedHat)
http://www.wu-ftpd.org
http://www.proftpd.org
For mail, there is sendmail and qmail. I prefer qmail. Download the
"Life with qmail" manual. (sendmail comes with RedHat)
http://www.qmail.org
http://www.sendmail.org
For web serving, there is apache: (comes with RedHat)
http://www.apache.org
If you want a server as you described, a company in Canada, e-smith,
has a nice Linux distribution that comes pre-configured to do what
you need (and more).
http://www.e-smith.net
To learn about free software and the License for linux, visit the
Free Software Foundation:
http://www.fsf.org
Books published by O'Reilly are the best Linux books.
Good Luck!

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at ns1.guamcell.net.
I'm
afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This
is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Sorry. Although
I'm listed as a best-preference MX or A for that host,
it isn't in my
control/locals file, so I don't treat it as local. (#5.4.6)
There are several docs that say not to put virtual domains in
the locals file. Which is perhaps what I am most confused about at this
point. Why would qmail tell me I need an entry in locals for a virtual
domain?

Don't HUP qmail-smtpd. That doesn't do anything. You need to HUP qmail-send.

Since faking the from-address (both header and smtp-envelope) is just sooo
easy, why bother, and restrict posting.
I guess big companies who are spamming have people who know quite a lot
about smtp/email...

I checked my path and permissions and this is what I found:
My path to mess/0 is /var/qmail/queue/mess/0
The permissions of /var/qmail/queue/mess are :drwxr-x---
The permissions of the file 0 are : drwxr-x---
I followed the install steps carefully and I have the /mess/0 file. Perhaps
the permissions are wrong or the path to the mess/0 needs to be designated
somewhere.
Any help appreciated,

The /var/qmail/queue directory tree is set up with the right permissions
when you are doing "make setup" from the qmail source directory.
E.g. the /var/qmail/queue/mess is OWNED BY (user:group) qmailq:qmail, which
may be your problem.
Did you compile the program ("make") on the same machine as the problems
appear on?
These userid:s: alias, qmaild, qmaill, qmailp, qmailq, qmailr, qmails
And these groupid:s: qmail, nofiles
ARE HARDCODED in some of the binaries during build.
You need a patched version of qmail to be able to move binaries around or
build on other machines or you need a predefined (100% sure of no conflicts)
set of userids and groupids OR you need to compile on the target machine, as
it states both in the manual and in "Life with qmail"

http://x42.com/ <--- uselessness in a mix for nerds.
i have been using qmail for about a year now, most of that time
focusing on virtual domain issues. while researching a Real Question,
(reading the FAQ, or other docs, or searching this list's archive)
i'll poke around and look for the answer to this question, but i havnt
come across it it yet.
what is the largest number of charactors that are permitted in a
.qmail-blah file? i usually tell my clients that i can give them an
address in their domain that is "longer than you would ever want your
email address to be!"
but im really curious, and i cant seem to find the answer. is there
actually a limit? are there any "special" charactors (other than the
. translating to : ) that i should know about?
thanks,

We did, in the first sales-meeting. Nice company. They brought a sales-droid
and a techie. A Canadian, black, and spoke French and English, and
reasonably well Dutch. (Those who look puzzeled right now: For foreigners
Dutch is about as difficult as Bask, Welsh or Mandarin.. :) )
We spoke a long time about the problems Xs4all had with their netapp
(excessive use of q-tree's, which are virtual partitions) and a combination
of a slow fsck and a tiny bug in fsck. After the crash the rebuild of the
file-system took a lot of time, and failed because of the bug, causing
another crash, fsck and so on. They actually flew in engineers to fix the
thing, speeded up fsck-ing by a factor 100 in the end, and fixed both q-tree
and fsck bugs)
Our fear, that the problems were related to NFS, were false, according to
the techie. They claim the majority of NFS-problems are server-side, and
because they have original, licensed spec's and support from Sun, clean code
and a lot of experience, they claim the NFS-related problems with a netapp
and linux will decrease significantly.
Since they were candid and honest about the problems xs4all had, we all tend
to believe them wrt NFS, and apart from that, we have the normal level of
support one might expect from them, which is _good_. Any problems that might
pop up will be resolved very quickly.
Wether or not maildir's should have enforced hard-quota's is a political
question. We have the expertise to fix any obvious problems, and could
always decide to have just soft-qouta's and warnings, if worst came to
worst.

** FATAL ERROR! HIT ANY USER TO CONTINUE! **
Hello,
Recently I was asked by a client to migrate their mail services off a
legacy NT server onto a Sun workstation running Solaris 2.5.1, and I was
asked to install qmail rather than use the default sendmail. I'm new to
qmail, but I was able to use the FAQs and INSTALL docs to help me get
going fairly swiftly. (although I wish the FAQ included info about the
error message "warning: unable to open todo/xxx" -- that wasted a tonne
of time!)
About the environment. The server is a Sparc 4, running Solaris 2.5.1,
and qmail 1.0.3. The clients are all Windoze 9x/NT, using either
Netscape 4.7 or Pegasus Mail 3.1.2 as their MUA. Users use pop to send
and retrieve mail from the server The firewall is configured to
deliver incoming mail only to the mail server, and will only accept
outgoing mail from the mailserver. Host masquerading has been set up so
that all outgoing mail looks like it comes from the domain
"company.com".
There are two outstanding questions:
First, when a user on a Windows client machine uses Netscape Mail 4.7 to
send a message, the sender and return-path both say "[EMAIL PROTECTED]".
However, when using Pegasus Mail 3.1.2 to send the same message, the
return path says "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" while the sender's
address still says "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". Several remote sites refuse to
receive e-mail where the sender and return-path don't match. This
address re-writing never happened when the mail server was Exchange
running under NT, but it has become a problem since we switched to qmail
running under Solaris.
Second, the firewall people have started to complain that ever since the
switch-over to qmail, they are seeing a lot of "auth" packets to and
from the qmail server to various remote sites. They want to know what
is going on. What sort of extra packets does qmail send out? Are some
of these "auth" communications initiated by outside systems?
If I've missed something in the FAQs or docs, I apologize. Please point
me in the right direction.

As far as I know, Netscape Mail (and Outlook) use your configured "E-Mail
address" as both the "From:" header and as the MAIL FROM: (envelope sender)
during the SMTP conversation. Eudora (most likely) uses your username as the
Envelope sender, and qmail appends the hostname. Change
/var/qmail/control/me to the hostname that you want appended.

"auth" is the ident protocol. It is described in RFC 1413 and RFC 931 (the
former obsoleting the latter). If your firewall people don't know what ident
is, you've got more serious problems than the hostname that appears on
outgoing mail.

The "return path" is specified solely by MUA, so this is entirely a Pegasus
Mail configuration issue. It is possible that other mail servers take it
upon themselves to rewrite the return address, but they should not really
do that, and it's none of their jobs.
Tell your lusers to fix their mail software's configuration.
Additionally, refusing to accept mail for this reason is rather dumb,
unless the REAL reason why your mail is being rejected is because the
actual return path is nonresolvable in DNS. Only THEN does rejecting such
mail is perfectly valid. Otherwise, this is not your problem, but rather
unwarranted paranoia on the part of a bunch of wankers who don't know any
better.

Qmail sends an ident (or auth) packets in response to any incoming
connection request. Any ident/auth response received gets recorded in the
headers. In certain situations, this information may be required in order
to track down any external source of abuse. This should ALWAYS be done in
response to an unauthenticated incoming connections, and the fact that few
other mail relays do it by default only indicates their unacceptable
default security settings.
Tell your spooks that the auth/ident packets are designed to make their own
lives either.

Whoa, are you sure about that? I don't think this is correct. Seems to
me that the smtp daemon writes the header. Maybe there are some cases
where the client supplies one... but I don't think you can flat out say
it's not the MTA.
Here's a snippet from the qmail-local man page:
The message's envelope sender is sender. qmail-local
records sender in a new Return-Path header field.
Now I know that's not the MTA but rather the MDA. But that does go to
show that it's not solely the client that can be responsible for the
Return-Path line. Also, I know this for a fact: when I use the qmail
"sendmail" binary to send mail from pine, it writes my local user
account's name into the Return-Path header. I had to set pine to deliver
via smtp to the local qmail-smtpd in order to force it to accept the
client-supplied "From" address as the Return-Path.
> Additionally, refusing to accept mail for this reason is rather dumb,
Agreed. ;)

More specifically, it is probably tcpserver (or whatever superserver he's
running) that is causing the ident requests.

Hi all,
I am sorry to present a Non qmail on this list.
I need a few Windows Mailing lists.
Purpose: I need to find out where to buy

*vomit*
This list has been receiving an unusual amount of off-topic posts, lately.
I would expect that any half-wit that can sign up for a mailing list
would be able to use a search engine, too.

Any chance that this method is being used to grab addresses from a
list? 1. Subscribe. 2. Post an extremely annoying message. 3. Watch
the (flame) mails roll in....
You can buy the Windows license that came with my PC - make an offer.
I just have to wonder, how on earth did you find *this* list, and
*not* figure out where to buy MS stuff?

I searched on the web for 6 hours and got nothing of any use.
I have had very much help from the Linux platform and perhaps this might
help me also. (sorry for the flames it caused)

Yes I am aware of that, and perhaps someone running Linux on a PC might
sell his license to me.
> BTW, why the hurry to run out and buy just licenses?
I am a Buddhist monk, and my daily duty is to encourage persons
not to "kill" "steal" etc.
so how can I run unlicensed software (double morals, isn't it)
I run a number of "free mail servers" in Sri Lanka,
all of them have Linux and qmail,
but we also need Windows as most persons are only used to Windows.
Sri Lanka is not a very rich country and we cannot afford very much,
that is how I am thinking of buying some second hand licensed software.
People are upgrading to other systems.
Many persons on Linux machines would have licenses,
and would perhaps sell them to me.
Perhaps others could put me onto some place where I could get it without
having to pay for New Software.
Please drop me a line if you can help.
All I need is a Original CD and the License documents
No books etc.
Again my apology for this on this list.
Best regards

Problem1 : user on 10.0.0.21 can send mail to <anyone>@kat.net.au
but not to <anyone>@<anywhere-else.<com/net/org>
however i can from the server.. (if i couldn't you
wouldn't be reading this message)
Problem 2 : a prob with the pop3d starting 2 copies.. help with this
would also be appreciated
Sorry but this is a long message but it'll tell you everything about
how i have qmail setup
I read and used LWQ as the base and tried to follow it as much as i
could
Problem 3: qmail and tcpserver not logging to the logfiles its going to
the console instead
Any help would be appreciated.. oh BTW merry christmas everyone and best
seasons greetings

In case those arrows haven't come out in the right spot, you have a spelling
mistake! A couple of them even... Change all your realy's to relay's =)
Also (don't be upset, I have to mention it) don't forget to re-run the file
through tcprules.
Thanks.. i feel very small about the spelling mistakes..
Thanks for the reminder to me and everyone else reading this message
Always rememer to run
/etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail cdb
after altering the tcp.smtp file
after fixing those spelling errors the relaying now works however the other
probs remain

Cameron,
If this is actually a <snip> from your xterm, it looks like you have a
problem in your tcp.smtp file.
Look at the environment variable.
REALYCLIENT=""
I think you mean
RELAYCLIENT=""
Try that for a solution to problem number 1.
For problem 3, it appears (I didn't look closely at what was going on in
your scripts), that you have a spelling error in miultilog.
Come back to the list if you still have troubles,
-Martin

Doh.. (utter embarasement) thanks for pointout my spelling mistakes.. thats
fixed up the realying.. (i feel so stupid.. been looking at these darn files
for days and never picked them up.. i've also fixedup the spelling in the
multilog for loging the send however it still puts the log info to the console
not the logdir's listes below.. and the qmail-pop3d is still starting up
twice.. it is working thougn.. just the second starting of it just keeps
restarting because its already running.. when i do a
/etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail stop the first evoking still running . i kill that task
and nothing is then running and then i start up qmail again and the same
thing.. it runs the pop3 deamon twice..

I was looking over the Qmail homepage and I found that you can create a
rcpthosts file with the following shell command:
sed 's/:.*//' <virtualdomains | cat - locals | sort >rcpthosts
by Russ Nelson. This is pretty kewl, incase you all didn't know, but one
thing was wrong.
One: I'm ordered and sorted my virtualdomains file in a matter I like.
Two: It picked up my address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Not needed in rcpthosts.
So, I did a little change to it:
sed 's/^[^@]*@//' <virtualdomains | sed 's/:.*//' \
| cat - locals >rcpthosts
(line wrapped due to email max line length)
This will filter out everything in front of and including the @. The only
bug I see in this one liner is that if you have multiple [EMAIL PROTECTED]
addresses, it will place multiple myhost.com lines.
It's a bug I won't mind hearing how to fix, but it won't affect how qmail
runs.
Just a little tid bit I thought I share :)
I thought you newbies might like to know..

Without having tested your line: replacing the second line with
' | cat - locals | sort -u > rcpthosts'
should do the job.

I am running following setup:
qmail 1.03 + mysql patch
tcpserver etc.
Right now qmail is killing the mySQL database server with requests. I've
seen ppl here on the list with 30k-50k users and I wonder how you manage
to keep the mySQL server alive.
We have about 10k clients. On our homepage there is a CGI program that
checks your email the moment you login.
Problems so far:
The maximum connections to the mySQL server exceeds the limit, causing
downtime on our mail- and web server as it depends on the same mySQL
server.
So, is there any way to keep the mySQL connections down while keeping
a high uptime of web- and mail server? Anyone written a proxy/wrapper
for mySQL to limit the number of connections to the real mySQL server?
Future setup: qmail + vpopmail with even higher number of users.
Please advice
Michael Boman
PS
Having a separate mySQL servers for mail and web is not a option, as
it would give our CGI programs more to do and by that making
the web-server load too high... Plus it would be another server
to manage.

its probably rather simple - your probably using the decaprecated mysql_connect
in the CGI possibly - rather than the mysql_real_connect api -
well to be simpler than that make sure your majority of the connections are
connecting through teh mysql named pipe (the socket) rather than tcp/ip
connections

The problem isnt either the database server, it's fine tuned to the maximum. The
problem is that SMTP/POP3 is causing ALLOT of traffic to the database server.
It wouldn't matter if we put Oracle or MS Sql instead, 'cause the traffic will still
be there. What I am looking for is a way to slow down the queries, limit them some how,
to the database server.

The CGI is written in Perl and uses the DBI modules. Each CGI script is running as
a daemon. Nothing special about them that could cause this load, as the only thing
is does is to do a POP3 connect to check if you have mail...

ever consider gigaethernet? : )
its possible to come up with a schema for persistant connections via the perl
scripts/ named pipes and etc al as well so you don't have to create a new
tcp/ip connection for each request/query etc but woudl rather use a connection
that is already open - which would probably reduce alot of the load

It's a common problem in the typical internet world,using
Linux+Apache+Perl+mySQL+qmail
I suggest you read perl.apache.org(assume ya using perl:-)
there is a powerful module of Apache,mod_perl which using perl as a function module of
Apache then use persist connection to mySql,say,thousands db queries using a single
connection to mySQL server.
the same way used before is FASTCGI but mod_perl is much more better.

Hi all. 0230 am, and I decide to move our mx server's qmail smtpd
invocation from inetd to tcpserver. Wise choice eh? Seems to be
performance jump thus far (judging from the few msgs I have sent thru it).
All seems well tho I can't seem to figure out why things are getting logged
to my terminal rather than to a log file somewhere.
>From the qmail FAQ (5.1):
<quote>
By default, tcpserver allows at most 40 simultaneous qmail-smtpd
processes. To raise this limit to 400, use tcpserver -c 400. To keep
track of who's connecting and for how long, run (on two lines)
tcpserver -v -u 7770 -g 2108 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd \
2>&1 | /var/qmail/bin/splogger smtpd 3 &
</quote>
Um ok, the uid and gid are diff on my box :> So's the qmail path but other
than that it's a cut/paste and msgs are getting blurted out to the terminal.
I suspect that it's simply really late, my brain is no longer functioning,
and there's something funky with my /etc/syslog.conf; any thoughts wopuld be
appreciated.
To be honest I have no idea what facility 3 is (second arg to splogger); at
any sane hour of the day I probably would
PS -- it's a SuSE 6.2 box but not necessarily stock :>
qmail v1.03
tcpserver and company, v0.84
Thanks

hi all just thought i'd let you know that i've found out why multilog
wasn't logging under supervise mode..
the dir
/var/qmail/supervise/<process> has to chowned to be sticky.. then the
multilog scriptt in /var/qmail/supervise/<process>/run will be run..
It's documented on
http://cr.yp.to/daemontools/svscan.html
whew.. 2 probs down 1 to go.. stopping the supervised pop3d from
running twice

hi there..
we usually have a local queue that sits at about 10 and a remote queue that
sits at 100 or so.
This afternoon i realised that we were running out of space on our /mail
partition.
At the same time, I realised that i wasn't receiving any mail. I killed all
qmail processes and started again...
Then, strangely, our local/remote queue shot right up! We had 1500 in the
local queue and 1000 in the remote queue..
At that point they started to settle down and now it is getting back to
normal.
Any ideas of what may have caused this?
I checked both queues and all the messages in them seemed to be to various
addresses, neither queue contained hundreds of the same mails.
Anyone know how i could chase this up?
