All right - I've just poked through the code to look at what causes
that error, and I'm stumped ;>.
At a wild guess, make sure that /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue and
/var/qmail/queue/mess/* are owned by the same user and group (qmaild:qmail,
I think) and that qmail-queue is setuid.
Anybody else have more light than I do?

Hello Olivier,
I found your message in my qmail mailing list archive. Is the smtpd
patch now working for you? I installed it, but it works only with the
standard checkpassword. It doesn't work with checkvpw.
To Bruce: checkvpw also does not work with smtp-auth perl scripts from
Mrs. Brisby. So checkvpw have to be different from checkpassword.

What it says is that the qmail-local simply records the value of the
envelope sender in the headers.
The actual envelope sender is set by the MUA.
Again, this is a configuration issue with your MUA.

If you don't want tcpserver to do ident queries (you are using tcpserver,
aren't you?), add the "-R" option.

Odds are good that you're using a shell that doesn't use the "2>&1"
syntax to redirect stderr to stdout.

If it were that easy I would have spotted it, even at 230am :)
The shell is bash.

OK, pardon me. So what to the messages you see look like? Is anything
going to syslog? What does:
echo foo | /var/qmail/bin/splogger smtpd 3
do? Facility 3 is (usually?) daemon. Check /usr/include/sys/syslog.h.
Leave it off, and splogger will default to 2 (mail), which is probably
what you want.

It turned out to be a minor goof in the rc script. I spelled a variable
wrong. These things happen during the wee hours of the AM :)
Sorry about that; thanks for your help.

To be honest I have no idea what facility 3 is (second arg to splogger); at

You're close. Read /usr/include/syslog.h (or maybe it's /../sys/syslog.h
for you). 3 is "daemon" for me.
I use splogger without specifying any facility to get my tcpserver logs
placed in my mail log.

Does qmail-smtpd send its logging information to stderr or am i missing something here?

qmail-smtpd doesn do any logging, but tcpserver does.

I don't know. What are you getting at?

Not exactly. The directory has to be *chmod*'d to be sticky in order
for svscan to start a supervise for the "log" subservice.

LWQ does include the necessary chmod commands:
chmod +t /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-send
chmod +t /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd

As you know by now, the top-level subdirs should have the sticky bit
set to enable the log subservice. You have the sticky bit set on the
log subdirectly. Close, but no cigar.

I am in the process of moving my mail from a OS/2 box. The mail client
here is PMMail. Each email is stored in a seperate file, like in Maildir.
I have moved these files to linux, but cannot read them using Mutt to
convert them to Maildir named files. The PMMail files are named in 7.3 format,
which is like ABCXYZ1.MSG
When I issue the command,
$ file *.MSG
I get the following output
FKBOL40.MSG: RFC 822 mail text
FKOE9A0.MSG: RFC 822 mail text
FKQ6D20.MSG: RFC 822 mail text
FKU7OB0.MSG: RFC 822 mail text
FKVW7B0.MSG: ASCII text
FKXO320.MSG: RFC 822 mail text
FKXO370.MSG: RFC 822 mail text
How do you convert these files into mbox or Maildir format? I want to be able
to read these messages using Mutt MUA.
Thank you in advance.

Well, if you're using qmail as your MTA, something like the following should
be a quick 'n' dirty way to do it. Just set the two addresses in the
script below to both be your local email address:
#!/bin/bash
for file in "$@"
do
qmail-inject -f [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] <"$file"
done

Try sticking them into the Maildir/new directory, then run mutt and see if
it picks them up.

They are just the message, but in dos/CRLF format. There are several ways
to convert them. The easiest if to ftp from the OS/2 box to the unix
box into the ~Maildir/new/ folder using "ascii" mode.
You can then see them with e.g. Mutt.
FWIW - PMMail98 for win32 is ok but of course it doesn't run on unix ;-)

Huh? FTP the easiest? On my PC, the easiest was
tr -d "\r" <input >output
Putting it into a for... cycle is left to the reader as an excercise.

Sound like you need to look into mod_perl, mod_dbi so you can have
persistant
database connections for your server.

Definitely need persistant connections. We use M$ SQL 7 for our
authentication via RADIATOR which is an sql based radius server. It uses
persistant connections (via perl::DBI) and we have no problems with 10k+
users.

What do you mean by ALOT of traffic?
We've changed POP3 auth to a MySQL database (homegrown scripts etc.)
and had problems during prime times that the mysql server wasn't
responding fast enough thus up to 120 checkpassword scripts were "in the
queue" on the POP3 server waiting for connections and some of them dying
due to timeouts.
I set up a test environment and noticed that the mysql server was only
able to handle 3-4 requests a second. Inspecting the tables I found out
that we had defined an INDEX false. This had the effect that the INDEX
was unusable for the authent requests. Fixing this and stress testing in
the testing environment got us more than 400 successful requests per
second. We have about 15K userbase and now it runs smoothly without
problems.
Maybe this helps.

Looks like the message delivery agent (MDA) is dumping core. Find a
core dump and do "file core". That will tell you which program is
broken, and, if you're handy with a debugger, where and how.
-Dave
That's a problem I can't find any core files on the system.

Which MDA(s) is the .qmail file in question running?
-Dave
Okay.. Qmail's site is down ;(
or at least traceroute is unable to trace to the site.
So I'll ask here, just a quickie, I want to forward all email coming to
my domain gpsmac.com to another domain, changing the domain name to one
that recognized by the recipient.
I have:
gpsmac.com:alias-gpsmac
and in ~alias/.qmail-alias-gpsmac
&{$USER}@gpsmac.net
Is this correct?
I was going to try and search the archive and locate it in there, but
I'm unable to get to the qmail site and thus unable to locate the link
to the qmail list archive.
Just a quickie..
Thnx..

Bookmark LWQ for future reference. It's got pointers to the list

Philip,
I suspect that you want to use $EXT, not $USER (which in this case would
expand to be "alias". And I think you really want to use forward:
| forward ${EXT}@gpsmac.net

Thank you very much Martin and Dave..
Turns out that I need $EXT2 for forwarding, and the name of my alias
files was incorrect as well, should have been .qmail-gpsmac-default for
just .qmail-gpsmac (I presume, I just used the -default)
One other thing. I want to create a quick perl script to print out all
the arguments and enviroment valiables that are appearent when
qmail-send sends the email. This would help me better understand qmail.
I've created a test email account: [EMAIL PROTECTED], but when I send my
email to there, it gets lost, and nothing comes out of my script. Here's
my .qmail-test file:
|preline /home/guice/tmp/test.pl
test.pl contains:
#!/usr/bin/perl
open (FLE, ">file.text");
foreach $key (keys %ENV )
{ print FLE "$key\t$ENV{$key}\n"; }
foreach (@ARGV)
{ print FLE $_ . "\n"; }
close (FLE);
exit (0);
Nothing gets sent to file.text... Any ideas? Or does anybody already
have a script that will do this for me that I can install. I just want
something simple, just enough so I can see everything avaliable when
qmail-send is invoked.
Thnx again..
Philip
BTW: tmp is set to 777 and test.pl is set to 755.

Note: The dir doesn't need to be world or group writable as the script is
run as the user owning the dir.
The script is effectively run in the users home directory; thus ">file.text"
will create a file in the users home directory.
I myself has used this script a few times to do something similar, but at the
same time include the incoming message and return the lot to the sender:
(note that the message body return is xml-parsable as well.

Do you perhaps have multiple qmail instances running? Try strace or truss to
see what qmail is doing.

Yeah, I could do this:

But that makes it harder to understand the relationship between
virtualdomains, locals, and rcpthosts, which is the real reason why I

I'm an newbie to qmail (and also linux) and hope to find help.
After setting up qmail on SuSE-Linux 6.1 I found a problem with my
pop3-server.
When contacting the pop3-server the messages "authorization failed"
appears. I start the pop3-server in /etc/inetd.conf with this line:
pop3 stream tcp nowait root /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup qmail-popup
michael.neubert.de /bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d
/home/$USER/.mailspool/
After a few tests, I found the following:
run 1. test as user
michael@michael:~ > /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup host /bin/checkpassword
pwd
+OK <569.945710144@host>
user linux
+OK
pass 12345
-ERR authorization failed

I have already checked the rights of /var/qmail... and
/bin/checkpassword. All looks like described in the qmail

Thanks in advance for any idea!

You probably have shadow passwords. These cannot be read by any user but
root. This means that checkpassword needs to be 'set user id root', suid
root for short. Try this:
chown root:root /bin/checkpassword
chmod +s /bin/checkpassword

DO NOT DO THIS. Sorry. Braino on my part. checkpassword needs to be invoked
by root, it should not be suid.

And, as ahu and I discussed on irc, a suid checkpassword is just a /bin/su
with a difficult interface and no logging :)

Huh? Since checkpassword runs as root anyway (that's who
spawns it), it doesn't needs suid root. Plus, noone else should be
running checkpassword (unless you are inviting everyone to a
dictionary attack against passwords). In other words, DON'T EVER
DO THAT!

Where are you having your mail delivered? $HOME/Mailbox?

Have you made sure that "mail" is looking in the right place?

Hi,
Take a look at my website:

Chris
Hi anybody,
How can I forward a mail to another adress. Must I compile another modul. Or
can I put this in /var/qmail/aliases/ ?
Thanks to anybody
CU
Carsten
Carsten,
It depends a great deal on your setup. I'll describe the answer for a
generic setup now:
A) favorite.net is in /var/qmail/control/locals
B) there is no UNIX user "martin.buber"
C) you want to forward "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
You create a the following file:
~alias/.qmail-martin:buber
==============================
&[EMAIL PROTECTED]
- - - -
OK, notice that any "." in a username becomes a ":" in a filename. This
disambiguates filesystem "."s from email address "."s, since "." has a
special meaning in a filesystem context.
Now, you can use an ampersand, or nothing as the first character of the
line.
If you have a more specific question, please ask. Also check out the Life
with Qmail page. It's excellent documentation.
(Und wenn Sie sich lieber auf Deutsch fragen wollen, fragen Sie bitte.)

Hi,
First i'd like to thank all those people out there for their
help in fixing up my 3 problems in an excelent time..
Now my problem is that i want to get maillog to log with human readable
times..
I know that i have to use the tai64nlocal command but where exactly and
how..
here is one of my logging scripts..
cat /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-send/log/run
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/bin/setuidgid qmaill /usr/local/bin/multilog t
/var/log/qmail/qmail.send
Running 'make check' returns the following:
instcheck: warning: /var/qmail/alias has wrong permissions
instcheck: warning: .../bin/sendmail has wrong group
instcheck: warning: .../bin/sendmail has wrong permissions
How can I find out what the "right" permissions are?

Read the source of instcheck. It'll point you to hier.c
Or else just run install ("make setup") again.

Any chance that re-running the installation could clobber something?

Did you added the correct user/group for qmail?
See the INSTALL.ids and install the respective group and user for the
system.
Good Luck,

No, although you'll probably want to stop qmail before you do the install.

Hi,
How do I get a host running qmail-smtpd to route (forward) all incoming
mail to another smtp host?
Thanks in advance.

Clear out control/locals and control/virtualdomains.
Put all domains you want to relay for in control/rcpthosts.
Put ':anothersmtphost' in control/smtproutes.

So far the only documentation I have found on the qmail-ldap patch is
at http://www.nrg4u.com/qmail/QLDAPINSTALL.
Are there any other documents around?
Your response much appreciated,
Kristina

Yeah, they're assuming that you want everything they want: ldap user
lookups, clustering, and gratuitious anti-spam patches.
> Are there any other documents around?
No, but it's really not too hard to hack something up. Exactly what
you need depends on exactly what your ldap is exporting.

I want to do email routing where qmail on the mail hub looks up the ldap
database
for mail host information so that it can route mail to the mail servers. That
way I
do not have to add user accounts on solaris. All user info for email routing
is
centrally administered on the LDAP server.
By the way, the QLDAPINSTALL document mentions that I need Netscape LDAP sdk
(libldapss130).
What is this for and where do I download it??
Thanks for any help,
Kristina

Yes, because it's what we use our environment. We currently don't make
money with it and you simply get what we have.
On the other side, it's pretty much what an ISP needs.

Yes, once you get used to qmail hacking it becomes very easy... ;-)

It seems that this mailling list should subscribe to DUL service (see
http://www.mail-abuse.org/dul) to prevent direct to MX spamming like this
(PS: this person use UU.net and telnet to muncher.math.uic.edu port 25 to
send email to this mailling list, if this mailling list use DUL service,
than he wouldn't do this, since his connection would be refused)
